Spreafichi's match data from the U20 Championship tells a clear story: he is deployed as a replacement with a strong defensive mandate, averaging nearly four tackles per appearance across his four outings. His tackle output peaks sharply in his best game — 11 in a single match — pointing to a player who can absorb significant defensive workload in short bursts. His carrying numbers are minimal, underscoring that his primary contribution when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry ball.
