Output in context · Austria Vienna finished 4th of 12 · an upper-table side
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 98.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
