D. Mina has taken on a crucial role in Lugano's defense this season. His physical presence and anticipation have given the team an added stability that is so vital in the league.

In the last four matches, Lugano has only conceded two goals. Mina has often been the key factor. His ability to win one-on-one situations has played a central role in fending off the opponent's pressure. In a recent duel against FC Basel, Mina excelled: 7 clearances and a high duel win rate of 83%!

But Mina showcases his class not only defensively. Upon winning the ball, he often acts quickly and supports the attack. This momentum provides Lugano with additional options while ensuring defensive solidity.

Coach Mattia Croci-Torti spoke positively about Mina: "He is a player who can hold his ground in difficult situations, and we are glad to have him in our squad." Mina has exceeded expectations and secures his place in the starting lineup week after week.
