I liken his playing style with Luis Figo. They dominate wide area by not beating their marker but by delivering the ball. The difference is Figo had superb technique and accuracy while Perisic has more athleticism and distance perception. I would like to put a spotlight on the latter. It is insane that he is a beast in one on one without being fast because he is extremely adept at manipulating the distance between him and his defender. He chooses the right decision either in running to byline or cutting inside. Then he manages to deliver the ball which escapes his defender because the distance is right and he aims for the deadspot of his defender. Incredible to think this is the player who initially struggled at basic football at the beginning of his WB role, but now he is the main contender of Serie A player of the season.
He's also one of the fastest in Europe, not only in Serie A. He's almost as fast as Alphonso Davies at top speed who's considered the fastest player along with the likes of Hakimi and Mbappe...
Maybe compared to Davies having just recovered.
I'm one of the longest serving Perisic fanboys but he's not that fast, come on
