Civetta's output across three World Cup appearances is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging close to ten tackles per match and contributing nearly 30 in total — a volume that marks him as a primary ball-carrier stopper in the tight. His carrying numbers are modest and consistent, suggesting a role built around set-piece grunt and defensive structure rather than metres gained in the open field. When called upon to carry, he stays disciplined and efficient, with his best single outing showing he can contribute meaningfully on both sides of the ball.
