Style of Play
A tactical player, he is known for his flair, passing, powerful shooting, free-kicks, penalty kicks, reading of the game and clinical finishing. Piazón commented on his playing style: "I'd say my playing style is different from typical Brazilian forwards. When you think about these, you think about dribbles and flashy moves. My football is simpler and more direct. It's more like a midfielder playing up front. I like to pass quickly. I don't hog the ball and I don't tend to run with it.
The media have often drawn comparisons between Piazón and Brazilian playmaker Kaká, as the pair possess similar attributes and natural technical finesse. Piazón also somewhat resembles Kaká. However, Piazón has rejected comparisons saying: "I don't think [we are similar]", Piazón says of Kaká. "My style and his style are different because I am a winger, or a second striker, and he is a central midfielder. He went on saying: "I don't think the comparison is because of our style. I think it is because we both played at São Paulo and maybe we can look similar on the pitch sometimes.
