Douglas Costa has high energy and good work-rate .
A diminutive player , with a slender build and an eye for goal , he initially played as a forward or attacking midfielder in his early career , but later stablished himself as a versatile winger , capable of playing on either flank , and of adapting himself to several different formations , due to his energy and work-rate , as well as his powerful and accurate striking ability from distance with either foot ; however , he usually favours the right wing , as it enables to cut into the centre onto his stronger left foot .
