Output in context · Malaga finished 4th of 22 · an upper-table side
2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 22) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.4, Montero carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 79. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
