Output in context · Talleres Cordoba finished 4th of 15 · an upper-table side
2.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) 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.

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
