Abstract:
For long time now statistic numbers in football represent a well-established reality, and even if they don't constitute an absolute truth they can however give a huge support for a coach and his technical staff. Indeed, in professional football the figure of the match analyst, also defined tactical, is now widespread, with his task consisting on revise and studying the data in order to give an interpretation of the statistic numbers of his team and of the opposing team, from which it's possible to get useful information for the coach and for the players themselves. In any case this figure has always to be a support for the coach, never replacing him. In football today it's really hard for a coach to keep in mind every action he considers important in a game, in that sense videos help the coach to correct any bad situation and/or mistake of the team. But a most important impact than the one of the video can be given by the statistics, knowing how many clean and tackles one of his defenders can do per match, or knowing whether a midfielder prefers the ball clean or to give filtering balls (all that certified by numbers) can take-on a primary importance for coaches of today and of the future above all.
