Analysis overview
M. Demiral is a proactive centre-back who steps into duels early and plays with real bite. He keeps his defending direct and compact, attacking the ball in the air and on the ground, while holding a firm line behind him. There is control to the aggression: he looks to clear danger cleanly, then reset the shape quickly.
