== Style of play == Cristante is known for his technical ability, vision, physicality, and versatility in central areas of the pitch, which allows him to win back possession and start attacking plays; moreover, he is adept with either foot and is also capable of making late attacking runs into the penalty area. While he is not known for his heading ability, his height also makes him effective in the air. Having started his senior career at Milan as a [[deep-lying playmaker]] or a ''[[regista]]'' in Italian, he successfully transitioned into an [[Midfielder#Attacking midfielder|attacking midfielder]], or a ''[[trequartista]]'', in the [[Formation (association football)#3–4–1–2|3–4–1–2 formation]] employed by manager [[Gian Piero Gasperini]] at Atalanta, which led him to score 15 times in just one and a half seasons for the club; he has also been used out [[Midfielder#Winger|wide]] on occasion. However, at Roma, while mostly playing as an offensive–minded [[Midfielder#Central midfielder|central midfielder]], known as the ''[[Midfielder#Mezzala|mezzala]]'' role in Italian football jargon, Cristante also began to be used as a [[Defender (association football)#Centre-back|central defender]] in the middle of a back three, courtesy of his positional sense, as well as his ability to play out or carry the ball out from the back.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.calciomercato.com/news/cristante-il-fu-trequartista-si-e-fatto-leader-della-roma-ne-vor-98113 |title=Cristante, il fu trequartista si è fatto leader della Roma.
