If we focus on one key player for each team we can make some interesting observations.
-
With such a display of numbers one may ask, Where were the impact players? Let us look at the role of players Roberto Carlos for Real Madrid and Effenberg for Bayer Munich.
-
Roberto Carlos was involved in every cornerkick from the left side, either taking it himself or receiving the pass. He took most of the throw-ins from the left side in the attacking half. The data shows that 50% of his receptions from teammates were in the attacking 1/3rd and 65% of his receptions in the attacking half. Many of Real Madrids shots came from the left side. With a good player like Carlos having so much activity on the left side, was he leaving his team vulnerable in another area?
-
The circle on the left graphics shows Roberto Carlos lost passes in front of the Bayern goal. Was he playing attacker or defender? What was his first responsibility? Take a SecondLook!
-
Effenberg of Bayern Munich can be seen as the playmaker for his team. His completion rate was 69% to 63% for Roberto Carlos. Although only 3 of his passes made it to the attacking penalty area, one did result in a goal. Effenbergs passes were mainly towards the center.
-
The ovals on the right figure show that Effenbergs lost passes were in two zones. The larger number of his losses were in a wide range in the attacking 3rd of the field. He also lost several passes in the defensive 3rd, which resulted in counter attacks by Real Madrid.However Bayern Munich took most of its shots and also scored goals scored in what we call the Winning Tunnel. Effenbergs playmaking helped in creating Bayerns 3rd goal. Take a SecondLook at the first page to see goals scored.
