The analyst<\/a> is a person who is part of the team’s coaching staff and analyses individual and collective performance, as well as that of the opposition, with the aim of being better prepared for competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their work is not only on the day of the match or the days leading up to it, but during the week they\u00a0have to\u00a0organise their time properly to be able to complete all their duties. To do this, they\u00a0follow a\u00a0microcylce\u00a0with which they\u00a0organise themselves in the following way:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Start of the week<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

Analyse the implementation of the game model in the\u00a0previous\u00a0match to select the training content for the week ahead.\u00a0From this point, the staff can focus the work of the training session\u00a0to improve the needs according to the\u00a0previous\u00a0game. For example, work on the improvement of some offensive concepts in the build-up moment, since the team had some difficulties in that moment of the game.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. During the week<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

To make videos of the training sessions to\u00a0identify\u00a0the players’ level of understanding of the tactical concepts worked on.\u00a0For example, analyse how the players\u00a0are able to\u00a0solve the situations of high pressure of the opponent in the build-up moment and where they can have more difficulties.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Midweek<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

Analysis of the last three matches of the opponent, with the aim of producing a report on their strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0For example, in which phases and game moments the opponent can create more problems and in which we can find some advantages. This will serve as starting point to prepare the match plan.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. End of the week<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

Collect information about the opponent and the characteristics of the players we will face in the next match to give more specific information to our players.\u00a0It is often useful to know the main strengths and weaknesses of the direct opponent that a player will be facing. For example, that our right winger knows the characteristics of the opponent\u2019s left back, or that our centre-backs receive information about the forward.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. During the match<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n

Live analysis for a first-half report to improve the team’s performance in the second half, and a second-half report to start the post-match report to begin the following week again.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n

It is clear, then, that the role of the professional analyst goes beyond the live analysis of matches and opponents. It has now become a fundamental source of information for any team and, as such, it is key that the work is properly organised.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
