Output in context · Universitatea Craiova finished 1st of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
