Also the official awards from Italy are out. These are statistically based so not necessarily the best. Goalkeeper: Handanovic Defender: Koulibaly Midfielder: Milinkovic-Savic Striker: Quagliarella Player: Cristiano Ronalo https://www.football-italia.net/138193/ronaldo-mvp-serie-awards
I assume you can't win both the best player and the best positional award? Otherwise, it'd make no sense for Ronaldo to not also win best striker.
Wasn't your post a tweet of the same information? I don't recall an answer to my question in your post
Or maybe they judge each position against different stats (eg. a defender gets more value for blocks or clearances than an attacker) but Ronaldo tops out overall. I'm not sure.
https://www.goal.com/en/news/perfor...ad-ligue-1-team-of/1l26isnn0x2t810tj7wm7s5by6 94.4 out of a 100 has to be one of the highest opta rating in Ligue 1 history, surely.
Higher than Messi (I think Hazard would have been #1 for 'big chances' if he had taken more set pieces, but okay)
This is a team made by a VI journalist who has watched "hundreds of matches" (kudos btw how he despite his foreign background speaks without an accent) (there was each week a "team of the week") VI's Süleyman Özturk watched hundreds of matches this season and put together his best eleven of the past season. He discusses them with his loyal sidekick behind the camera Ruben Aartsen. [I included in parentheses the other options he mentions] His team: Jan Oblak (Allison) Andrew Robertson Virgil van Dijk Joshua Kimmich (Alexander-Arnold) Bernardo Silva Frenkie de Jong (Thiago, Busquets) Dani Parejo Raheem Sterling (Hazard) Fabio Quagliarella Kylian Mbappe Lionel Messi On the bench: Matthijs de Ligt Allison Becker Jadon Sancho (Ronaldo) Georginio Wijnaldum ("bit of chauvinism here") Some of the comments by him are very good, others less so in my opinion. Takes too much time to summarize it all but if there are certain questions on reasoning it's possible to translate those.
A few notable things jump out there: - The top 3 for passes in the final 3rd in Spain being Barcelona players (all on the same team)! - Hazard's ratio of passes in the final 3rd to take-ons completed exceeding Messi's (surprising for this season maybe?) - Chelsea's main tactic seemingly confrirmed as "pass to Hazard" anyway! - Salah getting less than half his shots on target, but having the most shots on target in the league!
Yes there was an article in the New York Times a few days ago on the Liverpool data/analytics department and there they were asked which common perception is the least wrong (according to their crunching - some of them deliberately don't watch the matches itself). Their answer was Messi because "as possible number two you are only one place off the mark". This is maybe also interesting (and indeed confirms Hazard is less prone to losing the ball, if they're correct): https://www.sport-english.com/en/ne...-similar-to-lionel-messi-per-big-data-7464360 Although one can't really add two leagues together (and individual stats are also a product of the team...), many have noticed if you combine PL and PD together that then Messi 'only' leads in 8 of the 15 categories. http://www.sportbible.com/football/...p-of-the-stats-in-the-premier-league-20190521 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...Lionel-Messi-NOT-dominant-Premier-League.html https://www.sportskeeda.com/footbal...have-been-so-dominant-if-he-played-in-england Anyway, for my money Pele and Messi are within their context the two most dominant attackers of the television era (while Cruijff was, and to some degree still is, easily the biggest difference maker - I really don't understand those 'Big Four' folks who think G. Muller [not playing in Europe] was better than him in 1969... it's like Krankl (who played in a continental final) > Maradona).
I don't understand the difference here. Are you saying that Pele and Messi were the best at taking their teams to the highest-highs (ie. dominance), while Cruyff was at transforming a lesser team (ie. difference-maker)?
Pour compléter votre statistique, seul Nestor Combin a réalisé cette perfomance avec l'OL en Division 1 : saisons 1960/1961 (15/10) et 1961/1962 (13/10).— Stephane (@OL_HISTOIRE) May 24, 2019 He's streaky but this (balanced) delivery is fairly good.
In a nutshell that's more or less the distinction yes, but then in a more general sense rather than where the team/teams was standing.
Can you elaborate on this? Surely the biggest difference makers and the most dominant players are one and the same thing If one was the analyse in complete isolation the career of cruyff at Barcelona ,ignoring what came before or after it how would you rank it from a historical perspective? How integral is it to his legacy(did it enhance or strengthen it)
I don't think so. For a part that is because it is a team sport, for a part because circumstances and background are not the same. Will do this elaboration at a more appropriate place.

I don't understand any of the variable in this table. Is there like some sort of explanation of what each one means?

Daar kon je op wachten: de UEFA past na de degradatie van Duitsland in de Nations League vandaag in Baku de toernooiopzet een beetje aan. Bij de volgende editie (2020-21) komen 16 landen in de topdivisie, verdeeld over vier groepen van vier. Duitsland keert dus terug in groep A.— Jurriaan van Wessem (@JurrVanWessem) May 28, 2019 "You could wait for that: after the relegation of Germany in the Nations League, today in Baku UEFA adjusts the tournament setup a bit. At the next edition (2020-21), 16 countries will be in the top division, divided into four groups of four. Germany therefore returns to group A." En als de belangrijke landen het een keer niet halen, zorgen we er gewoon voor dat ze het alsnog halen. Maak er gewoon een gesloten systeem van, dan weet iedereen waar 'ie aan toe is. Want in feite is het dat gesloten systeem toch al.— Tardelli (@TardelliNL) May 28, 2019 "If the important countries do not make it, we just make sure that they make it. Just turn it into a closed system, then everyone will know where it stands. Because in fact that closed system is there anyway." ----- https://www.spiegel.de/internationa...a-president-aleksander-ceferin-a-1269128.html I wonder what they will do with the seeding (big advantage). As it stands Spain and Germany miss out to be seeded, but UEFA and FIFA always make amends to their own system.
