Marchand's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging over eight per match across nearly 1 300 minutes of action, with a single-game peak of 17, he is a consistent defensive presence at the heart of Lyon's forward effort. His carrying workload is steady rather than explosive, contributing close to four carries per game and suggesting a player who operates within a structured forward game rather than seeking individual gains. The combination of high defensive output and reliable carrying makes him a dependable workhorse in the front-row.
