Ligue 1 Uber Eat centre-back data analysis a THREAD:
I compiled a list of all U28 CBs with over 540 minutes played since the beginning of the 20/21 season.
I used data to analyse the 16 players on the list.
@potpanmanF1 Albon on a podcast made an interesting point. He suggested at the start of the season the car is easier to handle, but, as the season develops, the setup moves more in Max’s favour and the car becomes more difficult. Which could suggest Perez’s form could be okay to begin with.
Medina now occupies the left side of a back three for Lens. He is integral for moving the ball up the pitch for Lens, breaking the press making 6.43 progressive passes p90. He is a fantastic tackler who wins 71.4% of his tackles Vs dribblers. Well worth keeping an eye on.(2/2)
ONES TO WATCH:
1.🇦🇷Facundo Medina - 21 - 1.84m - £7.20m - RC Lens
Medina arrived in Ligue 1 in the summer for £3.15m from Talleres. He has had a brilliant start to life at Lens, carrying his form over from Argentina. Having previously played as a LB in his younger years,... (1/2)
3.🇫🇷Mohamed Simakan - 20 - 1.87m - £13.50m - Strasbourg
This is Simakan's second season playing senior football with Strasbourg having come through their ranks. He had a very solid first season and was constantly linked to a move to a bigger club with the likes of Milan... (1/2)
All good things come to an end.
Liverpool and I have decided not to continue our agreement about the throw-in coaching after five great seasons.
I´m proud of being a part of taking LFC from 18th to 1st in the Premier League on throw-ins under pressure. 1/6 (video in the end)
The criticism’s of Pelé on here are 99% nonsense.
I assure you, he played at the very highest level possible, and he completely dominated everyone on the planet, South American teams, Europeans teams, World Cup level etc.
And he wasn’t a striker, he played like a false 9.
