Output in context · Göztepe finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
