Output in context · FC Sochi finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
