Conclusion
Defensive stats double, goals vanish — what is happening with Mastantuono?
In his last 5 games, Mastantuono's defensive actions per 90 more than doubled (2.51→5.59), but his attacking output collapsed — goals per game fell from 0.6 to 0.2, expected goals from 0.56 to 0.24. Facing Juventus, Inter, and Atalanta likely shifted his role toward deeper defensive duties.
What changed in attack, defensive involvement and work rate over the last five appearances?
Player deep dive
Attacking output has dipped sharply (goal involvements 0.6→0.2), but defensive engagement and duelling surged, with the rating only slipping from 7.70 to 7.62. Given tougher opponents and increased minutes, this looks more like a role adjustment than a loss of form.
What improved
—
What dropped
—
Defensive involvement: 防守参与大幅提升：防守动作每90分钟翻倍（2.51→5.59），抢断翻倍（1.75→3.62），恢复球权增76%（3.26→5.74）。近5场对手含尤文、亚特兰大、国米，高强度比赛天然要求更多防守投入。
Running & work rate: 跑动和冲刺数据缺失（FotMob未覆盖意甲跑动统计），无法判断跑动投入。不能据此推测体能或态度问题。
Engagement read: 场均时间从74.8分钟增至82.4分钟，防守动作和对抗成功显著提升，触球数也增加，比赛参与度在上升。但数据只能反映参与程度，不能直接证明态度好坏，需考虑对手强度（尤文、国米、亚特兰大）和战术安排等因素。

Possible explanations
- 翻倍有余，抢断和拦截同步大幅上涨
- 地面对抗成功从6.02升至8.39，对抗参与度明显提高
- 此前5场进3球，近5场仅1球（对萨索洛）
- 射门数量与质量双降，禁区触球也减少37%
Limitations
- 跑动与冲刺数据缺失，无法判断跑动投入
- 此前5场中1场（意大利杯对Pisa）缺少射门与预期进球数据
- 对比窗口仅覆盖正式比赛，不含友谊赛
- 逐场射门与预期进球只来自 FotMob 当前赛季射门图；没有射门记录的场次保持缺值。
- 对比窗口排除俱乐部 / 国家队友谊赛，最近 5 场为此前 5 场之外的正式比赛。
- 跑动 / 冲刺数据缺失（FotMob 只覆盖部分联赛）；缺值不能当成跑动少，也不能据此判断比赛态度。
