Analysis overview
Costa reads play early and sweeps confidently off his line, cutting out through-balls before they become threats. His distribution is crisp and purposeful—both short passes and long switches—turning defense into attack from the back. He's composed under pressure, the kind who settles a team when the moment tightens.
