Ahead of England’s FIFA World Cup opener against Croatia, ITV used Opta data to highlight a more balanced distribution of assists across the pitch.
At UEFA EURO 2024, 60% of England’s assists came from the right attacking third.
Under Tuchel, that figure has fallen to 42.1%, with a greater share now coming through the middle and from the left.
Another example of how Opta data helps broadcasters add context to the action and bring tactical stories to life for millions of fans.
