Danilo, the 22-year-old Brazilian, plays primarily as a defensive midfielder for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League season 2023-2024. He also fills in the central and attacking midfield positions occasionally.
He shines prominently in penalty area defending and aerial duels, as demonstrated by his above-average performances in these areas. Alongside, Danilo also exhibits a proficient ability in ball recovery and duels.
Despite these strengths, his ball retention skill appears to be a weak point and his pass accuracy, as well as the number of touches per game, is quite low, which prevents him from participating more actively in the creation of goal opportunities.
However, he remains a significant threat around the goal due to his good goal efficiency and chance creation rates. His one-on-one defending and progressive passing skills fall in the average range, leaving room for improvement.
Even though the number of shots per game is relatively low, his progressive carrying indicates a direct attacking style.
Overall, given his young age, Danilo has considerable potential, showcasing a balanced mix of defensive solidity and creative ability in the midfield. His areas of improvement highlight pass accuracy and overall possession, which if addressed, will surely make him a more impactful player.
