From the video footage available of Pereira, he appears to be a left - footed, deep -
lying midfielder capable of contributing on both sides of the ball.
Originally a more offensive player, Schweinsteiger was developed into a world - class deep -
lying midfield operator,
capable of acting as a metronomic presence in the heart of the park for both club and country.
Still only 20 years old, the Croatian has made 12 starts in Serie A this season, contributing two goals and one assist, showing himself
capable of playing in a number of different
midfield roles, either as a deep -
lying playmaker or a more advanced role, and even wide on the left hand side.
