Overview

The player

Who he is and how he compares with his peers.

01

What Patterns Define Him?

His repeatable signature. A step only appears if its reliability score (sample size × match coverage) reaches at least Medium confidence — pattern mining, not anecdotes.

RECEIVE
Right Wing, Middle third — mostly in the middle third (45% of his 196 passes)

Signature: receive wide right → beat the full-back → carry into the left-foot channel → deliver or shoot. Stop the 1v1 on the right and you starve the chain.
19

Where is he influential — vs where is he merely present?

Red fill = raw touch territory. Gold rings = zones where his influence (xT added, progression, line-breaks, key passes) outweighs how often he's actually there — one combined map instead of two separate maps to compare by eye. Red with no ring: present but not dangerous. A ring on faint red: rare touches, outsized impact.

How dangerous are his carries?

Real ball-carries

34 tracked carries (6.3/90, 10 progressive, 334m total) — the ball moving with his touches, a different signal from dribbles below (beating an opponent 1v1). this counts every touch-carry, not just his dribble attempts below — a fuller picture of how much of his ball-carrying is control-and-move rather than beating a man.

Dribbles (1v1s)

Domenico Berardi's signature is the dribble. Does he carry outside (down the right wing) or inside (into the half-space / centre)? Every dribble classified by channel. Season rate: 1.68 dribbles attempted /90.

How does he build & move the ball?

How he moves the ball — his 4 busiest progression routes, not where every pass starts and ends separately. Arrow width = how often, colour = xT gained, dashed = switch of play. The full breakdown is in the lane matrix below.

Rows normalised: each row sums to 100% of that lane's completed passes. Grey number = passes from that lane.

Primary route: the right half-space in the final third → central areas in the final third — 5 progressive passes (21% of his progression) at 0.109 xT each. He moves it inside.

His progression is inward: 88% of progressive passes move the ball toward the middle versus 0% going wider — he cuts in rather than holding width.

12% of his passes are cross-field switches — he changes the point of attack often.

Quality behind the volume: 12 line-breaking passes and 6 final-third entries, 2.2 total xT added.

Origin and destination are measured on the same event row — no receiver inference. Receiver identity is not recoverable from this data source.

Tactical patterns — how his football actually looks

Three clustered sequence diagrams from his own event data — his three busiest routes: the way he progresses, the pattern behind his chances, and where a turnover turns dangerous.

own goal left, attacking →
Where do his chances come from?
Of 10 key passes, his busiest route is a delivery where he plays straight through the central in the final third — 4 times. The receiver isn't identifiable in this data, only where the pass started and ended.
Where does he lose the ball most?
This is a RATE, not a raw count — the share of his touches in each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone he simply plays in more often doesn't automatically look riskier. His weakest zone is the right wing in the defensive third: 60% of his 10 touches there are lost (6 times).

02

Does he carry inside or outside — his ball-carries across the pitch

Four arrows, one per movement class of his ball-carries: outside→inside (cutting in with the ball), inside→outside (carrying wide), outside→outside (down the touchline) and inside→inside (through the middle). Each count is measured from the carry's real start and end coordinates.

own goal left, attacking →
Across 34 ball-carries, his dominant tendency is that he drives along the touchline (35%). He carries from outside into the middle 7 times and out toward the touchline 3 — a genuine inside forward who cuts in with the ball.
09

What happens right after he carries the ball

Every carry's end point matched against his own very next pass or shot in the same match, when one starts almost exactly there — the direct continuation of that touch, not a separate stat. “No clean link” means no pass or shot of his own started close enough to count (often the carry ended in a tackle or a loss); it isn't a claim about exactly what happened, only that nothing traceable followed.

Shot
0 · 0%
Progressive / key pass
5 · 15%
Simple pass
18 · 53%
No clean link
11 · 32%
Of 34 carries, 0% flow straight into a shot of his own, 15% into a key or progressive pass — a genuine end product to the carry, not just ball retention. 32% have no clean link to a next touch of his own close to where the carry ended.
08

Crosses & Cutbacks

7 crosses (1.30/90, 1 completed) and 1 cutbacks (0.19/90, 1 completed) — two separate wide-delivery patterns into the box, each its own map with a completed/failed filter. Neither is a tagged event, so both are inferred from pass geometry — the intended end point of a failed attempt is still real data (an interception doesn’t erase where the ball was aimed): a cross is a pass aimed into the box starting from a wide channel; a cutback starts almost on the byline but is squared back rather than driven forward, aimed centrally around the box. The completed-cross count was checked against this platform’s own real match-level cross totals and lands within about 1 cross of the true count.

Vision AI A mid-block defender. He wins the ball mainly by stepping in — tackles, interceptions & recoveries outweigh clearances. 44 proactive ball-wins (8.2/90), tackle success 56%. He defends high, stepping out to intercept — suits a high line.

Defensive work in the attacking half

Ball-wins in the attacking half only (own half vs. attacking half, a simple 2-way split, not the usual thirds) — the clearest single signal of how much he presses and recovers the ball high up the pitch.

Playing-Style Profile

Not raw event counts — football style scores: weighted models scored 0–100 against the 180 wingers in the pool (min 450 min). This is what separates players who post similar numbers but play differently. Proxy dimensions are inferred from on-ball data; true off-ball running / under-pressure context is not measured.

Similar Players — in style space

Closest comparables measured on the style scores above, within the same position family — so it separates how players are alike, not just how much they touch the ball. Each line explains the shared strength and the divergent mechanism. A light physical-profile term (height / weight; this player: 183 cm / 72 kg) is included at a quarter of one style axis's weight — enough to break ties between stylistic twins, not to override style. Scope: pooled across the Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Premier League, percentiled within each player's own league before comparing — a match from another league is marked with its league name.

Style, not quality: a high match here means two players tend to produce the ball in similar ways — it is not a ranking, a scouting recommendation, or a claim that they are equally good.

Summary

Domenico Berardi is a wide, outside-first right carrier: 78% of dribbles in the wing lane, 57% of passes from wide — but 69% land inside. 2.0 progressive passes and 1.86 key passes /90 plus 2 goals from 1.39 xG. A carry-and-deliver threat.

Based on 7 matches (483 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as an inside forward — best used in a system built around that identity. His biggest room for growth is dribbling — even a modest improvement there would meaningfully lift his overall inside forward profile.
