Output in context · Gornik Zabrze finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 31 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
