Output in context · SHANGHAI SIPG finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) 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. 4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.5% 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 19.9, Zhen carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League (top 32%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
