Analyzing Line-Breaking Passes with Luiz Fernando Silva

MyGamePlan

Football Analytics Platform

Al Taawoun FC’s Data & Performance Analyst Luiz Fernando Silva takes us inside his approach to analyzing the opponent’s line-breaking passes - and walks through how he built his own metric and the workflow around it, including:

‣ Defining the pass (between the lines, inside the block, forward, short/medium)

‣ Spotting patterns to see where opponents are weak or can hurt you

‣ Turning this into usable information for the staff and players

His custom metric is applied across all games, so he can base his work on a full season of an opponent instead of being limited to just 2 or 3 matches.

For the full 8-minute breakdown of his metric and workflow, watch here:
