Output in context · Verl finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
