Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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 10 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.97 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
