Clean sheets

3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.5, Liziero carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Primeira Liga of 42, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nacional finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
