    Performance Analytics

    Here, the tool helps players and coaches analyze their performance during matches. It is based on hard data, rather than impressions. For example, the number of touches, the number of successful short passes, successful long passes; the accuracy of shots on goal with the left foot, right foot, under pressure and so forth.
  • Daniel M.has quoted4 years ago
    the chances of a goal are pretty remote. In fact, only one in two hundred goals in professional football results from a corner.

    If they play a high pressing game then better first touch and control is required from every player, since there will be constant pressure, rather than just in the final third as would be the case with a side that stands off.

    Once the analytics have been completed, a coach can see the picture of his squad. He or she can select their preferred formation based on the strengths of the players they have available. A lot of skilful centre backs? Play three and give them the licence to get forward.

    any centre forward needs an eye for a goal, great shooting ability and excellent close control.
  • Daniel M.has quoted4 years ago
    This position is expected to produce goals as well as assists, and therefore strong shooting is needed, as well as the ability to make great runs and have an eye for a goal.
  • Daniel M.has quoted4 years ago
    Superb short and long passing is needed.

    Number Ten

    In the old days, this player would be known as the second striker; in the present game the number ten is the playmaker, the maestro, the glamour player – even more so than the centre forward.

    Central Midfielder

    Stamina is a must. Old school managers refer to this as a ‘good engine’; it is that ability to keep moving, supporting the attack one minute, tracking a run the next and then winning a 50/50 tackle.
  • Daniel M.has quoted4 years ago
    a good short passing ability is very useful
