Statistics confirm the importance of Ardian Ismajli in the Torino backline. With the Albanian defender on the field, the "grenades" have only conceded 7 goals in 7 matches, with an average of 1 goal per match. A significantly more positive balance compared to the matches played without him.
In Ismajli's absence, Torino have conceded 18 goals in as many matches (7), bringing the average to 2.57 goals conceded per match. The match against Genoa, where the Albanian player was on the field for only 30 minutes, is excluded from the calculation.
After 15 games analyzed, the numbers leave no room for interpretation: Ismajli is an element that establishes order in the defense and gives more stability to the defensive unit. His presence directly affects the team's organization, especially in the three-back system.
However, to get the most out of this formation, Torino needs a left-footed defender capable of supporting the move and breaking away in the attacking phase, as is the case in most three-man defences.
Ismajli's only weak point remains ball management under pressure. The red and black defender often appears hasty in the build-up, preferring quick runs instead of controlled passing.
