Output in context · Red Bull Salzburg finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.8, Gadou carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 17%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
