Dimarco is a left-footed defender who usually plays as aleft-back, although he is also capable of playing on the right. He is known in particular for his pace, tireless running, eye for goal, and his powerful and accurate shot from outside the penalty area, as well as his ability to interpret the game; he is also a threat from set pieces. His qualities enable him to aid his team both defensively and offensively. In spite of his small stature and slender physique, he possesses significant strength, as well as good technical skills.[34] Considered by journalist Emmet Gates to be one of the best full-backs in Serie A, Dimarco's pace and technical ability allow him to excel as a left-sidedwing-back in a3–5–2 formation, where he is able to overlap and get forward with his attacking runs, bothon and off the ball, to create chances for his team with hiscrossing. Dimarco's defensive ability has been cited as a weakness in his game by journalist Kyle Bonn ofThe Sporting News.[35][36][37][38][39] In 2024, ESPN placed him 10th in their list of the 100 best defenders in men's soccer.[40]
