Output in context · Shanghai Shenhua finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
