Output in context · Sanfrecce Hiroshima finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 49.3 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
