According to Costa, Guardiola had always seen Nunes as a talented midfielder when he signed him from Wolves, but has now started playing him at wing-back. Costa believes Nunes is a physically strong player with high levels of quality and passing accuracy, who is well-suited to playing in midfield.

Costa thinks Nunes is a box-to-box player who can score goals and make a significant contribution to his team defensively. However, he feels that playing at right-back is not Nunes' natural position and may be affecting his confidence.

Costa describes Nunes as a clever player who is quick to think and react on the field. He believes Nunes has the ability to adapt to different situations and make smart decisions during games.
