Across 20 matches, Marini's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive contribution — nearly ten tackles per game is a substantial workload for a lock, and a single-game peak of 25 tackles underlines his capacity to carry that burden in high-intensity situations. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role built around set-piece presence and defensive structure rather than ball-in-hand threat. The consistency of his tackle counts across three competitions points to a player who functions reliably as a defensive cornerstone regardless of context.
