Data

Yesterday at 07:08 AM

CR confirmed that our recruitment was based on data. So, with footballers knowing how important that is to their careers, does it mean players are playing to suit their personal data scores?

Does it prevent them from trying something creative in case it goes wrong because it will get recorded as a stray pass? Does it therefore encourage them to undertake a simple sideways or backward passes merely to get a uccessful pass recorded?

I'm starting to wonder whether players are more interested in their personal data scores than being free to help the team succeed. Do their agents drill this into them?

Dunno......perhaps I'm talking nonsense in an attempt to find answers????

I would really like to know what data headings players are scored against
