Goal contribution of the best players

Now I remember 5 or 6 of him that weren't in the video, one of them was one of his best passes. I think he provided quite a few of them during his time at Sporting Lisbon

 

It doesn’t show him in that YouTube video

The pre assist is here though

0:17

yeah it seems I missed it

Two portions of his career I can’t claim to of watched(extensively)are his stints at sporting Lisbon and his current stint at al nassr.

82 pre assists doesn’t seem too far away from the real number I think (and it is a good number by any standard)

 

He probably did more than 100 in his career

 

I'm sort of confused by the data, do you mean that Lionel Messi's pre-assists to OPTA assists to teammates scoring only, tallies to 161 pre-assists?

127 pre-assists and 30 from the national team does not add up-to 161 pre-assists purely for OPTA assists to teammates.

1) His tallies of pre-assists to OPTA assists that results in the teammates scoring.

2) His tallies of pre-assists to all "assists" that include heavy deflections, that resulrs in the teammate scoring.

I personally think the pre-assist count for Cristiano Ronaldo video was closer in nature to category 2.

If possible, do you have the pre-assists numbers for both category 1 and 2?

 

........










For example .... Ferenc Puskas vs ScoTland .. Away game ! 4 x 2 scoreline ...



Ferenc Puskas ... 2 Direct Assists (Opta Style ) .. to Hidegkuti and another Assist there to Sandor Kocsis ..




1 indirect Pre-Assist ... ( Non Opta Style ...).. rebound the Goalkeeper ..there ...
.....( but Football Manager Style )..

 

great numbers at all ... Sounds.. like Michel Platini ... ( JUventus de Turin ) TeamGoals % !

 

I don’t know if this is true
But if I ‘discover’ upwards of 20 extra pre assists I will make a part 2.

if it is less I’ll just tag you the YouTube match/highlight compilations along with the relevant timestamps


The pre assisted goals will definitely be in two parts though
The first part I will post this morning

The second part will be posted over the weekend.

How 356 goals of the go ahead team with 95 equal goals be a total of 435? https://www.messivsronaldo.app/detailed-stats/match-winning-goals/

 

Remove penalty goals I want to see something

 

I noticed this, at the other end of the spectrum (teams scoring highly - this will be a mixture of course of playing vs teams easier to score against for the player/their team, and high level games where the player and/or his team has an excellent and/or clutch performance):

Mr.Idolo on X: "Some players when their teams score 3 or more goals (high scoring teams) Let's take a look to the stats for each player. https://t.co/GKakGyY88z" / X

I guess he might be a guy who collaborates on the data with Trachta on Twitter (I think a few of you share data don't you, and I know he's a friend of @anamnesis del fútbol ), although I didn't try to verify that and it could be there are some differences in data collected, from different reports etc or using different estimations (though on the face of it Opta and non-Opta assists are being recorded the same way anyway seemingly).

 

Maradona played in that conditions along all his career, some players like Pelé played mostly of the games in the end of the career when the team scoring was very low, but is interesting the data, should be interesting to know also Cruyff pre assists to see how high his contribution grows

 

Messi probably blows Cristiano out the water for preassist volumes... but I doibt this means much. These could be extremely basic nonthreatening back or sidepasses... hardly footballing genius and more likely representative of Barcelona's linkage play

 

yeah, tik taka can inflate the pre assists stats, but even the side passes can be good if you had a good link up play or doing one-twos with teammates depend of the context

 

I am not qualifying all or even the majprity of his preassists as useless. I just really don't think the numbers can be compared and "mean" the same thing. Best is to aggregate in video form and reach a conclusion
