FC Porto announced on Saturday that defender Bruno Marcano has been selected as the club's top player for tackling in the first half of the season. The 24-year-old Portuguese international was named the best tackler in the league based on his performance across all competitions.
Marcano, who joined FC Porto from Chelsea in the summer of 2022, has already made a strong impact for the club this season. He has recorded 21 tackles in the opening 45 minutes of matches, which is a significant improvement over his previous career highlights.
The Portuguese international has been praised for his physical presence and ability to disrupt opposition play. His defensive work has helped to keep the ball away from opponents and create opportunities for his teammates.
Marcano's selection as the top tackler comes at a time when FC Porto is looking to strengthen its defense ahead of the upcoming Champions League campaign. The club has been making several changes to its squad this season, including signing new players like defender Jules Kounde and midfielder Diogo Dalot.
Overall, Marcano's performance has been impressive so far this season and he will undoubtedly be a key player for FC Porto in the coming months.
