A genuinely progressive central midfielder who moves the ball forward with purpose and isn't afraid to carry it through pressure; he has genuine range from distance and the technical security to play in tight spaces without dithering. His game intelligence and willingness to take responsibility in possession elevate him above mere competence—he's orchestrating play for Braga rather than simply recycling it. The frustration is his defensive output; he's not lazy, but he's a liability when caught out of shape and lacks the physicality to genuinely shield a backline, which limits how high he can climb and what partners he needs around him.
