De Ligt is very good on the ball, he isn’t as standout as some of the best ball playing CB’s but at Ajax he averaged around 60+ passes/game. That was under Ten Hag and yes quite a while back but if asked to do so again I’m sure he will have no problem. At Bayern it is 35-40

The first thing that jumps out about Ríos is his physical profile. He is quite tall with a muscular, but lean frame. He has very long legs that allow him to cover ground quickly. This is very apparent when he is attacking in transition or cover defending.

Kadıoğlu possesses blistering pace and seemingly limitless stamina. He flies up and down the pitch for the entire match, hardly showing signs of any fatigue (Lead the Süper Lig in mins and 90s played). He also has sneaky good strength that he uses when he needs to be physical.
