Output in context · 1899 Hoffenheim finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
