By marking every point at which the ball was played just before each of the Real Madrid shots during the Champions League season, we can get an overall picture of how they create successful attacks. Figure 7.12 is a risk map showing where the ball was played in the 15 seconds leading up to a shot from the 20m by 20m area in front of goal. The darker areas show places where there is a high risk of a Real Madrid shot from the danger zone coming within the next 15 seconds; the lighter areas show places where the risk is low. Corners are one clear risk-zone and, not surprisingly, if the ball is already in the box then the risk of a shot is high. But the most interesting risk zone is the hot area outside the box on Real Madrid’s left. This area of the pitch is mainly Summary from last timeoccupied by Marcelo, who comes up on the left wing, and Ronaldo, who is more central. It is from here that dangerous chances are created. ‘Football looked at in a very different way’ Pat Nevin Soccermatics ‘Every football nerd’s dream.’ FourFourTwo Football – the most mathematical of sports. From shot statistics and league tables to the geometry of passing and managerial strategy, the modern game is filled with numbers, patterns and shapes. How do we make sense of them? The answer lies in modelling – mathematical processes more usually applied in biology, physics and economics.

    MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015 SPORTS England dump hosts Canada Canadians collapse in tears VANCOUVER: England scored twice in three first-half minutes then held on to beat hosts Canada 2-1 on Saturday and book a spot in the Women’s World Cup semi-finals against Japan. The hosts had been hoping to secure the semi-final spot against the defending champions on Canada Day, July 1, in Edmonton but instead it was England who moved into the last four of a World Cup for the first time. England coach Mark Sampson paid tribute to the opposi- tion and fans. “I have never been in a stadium as loud, as pas- sionate for their team as that was, they couldn’t have pushed us any further we had to really, really dig deep today to get the result we wanted,” he told reporters. “They’ve shown a desire I have never seen in an England team before to hang on in there and get us through to the next round.” Without a men’s or women’s World Cup title since 1966, and exasperated by another failure at the men’s U21 European Championships, the “Lionesses” have become the toast of England. “We’re history makers again, only the third England team to get to a semi-final, we have now joined that 1966 and 1990 club, very, very proud of the whole group,” beamed Sampson. EDMONTON: Japan’s Nahomi Kawasumi (9) and Australia’s Samantha Kerr (20) battle After conceding just one goal in four matches, Canada sur- for the ball during second half of FIFA Women’s World Cup quarter-final action.

    e-Journal n°27 – September 2019 A Word From… The « OL ANG’ELLES » Team A new season has begun, racing along at the same frantic pace at which last season ended. This edition covers the start of a new season with the same lofty goals: The team aims to defend all its titles and win every available trophy—now 5 in total—even as the competition gets tougher every year. For the OL ANG’ELLES, we aim to once again be present for every match throughout France and in Europe, even as the number of games increases. Avaldsnes / Norway Amsterdam / Netherlands Wolfsburg/Germany Chelsea/England Budapest/Hungary The 1st title has already been secured. Lyon defeated the North Carolina Courage in the United States to take home the WICC title. It’s a tournament that is gaining significance and getting ever closer to a sort of Club World Cup. Even though Lyon won the treble in 2018-19, some of the victories were not easy to come by last year, as Ada explained to OLTV after last year’s final in Budapest: « It was incredible season because it wasn’t obvious that we would win the treble…we showed we can come through even in the difficult moments, and we showed again that we are the best team…it’s a dream ». The presence of Gérard Houiller at practices and many of the matches at the end of the season was a clear precursor to the overhaul of the coaching staff at every level of OL Féminin. A completely new staff, changes to the administrative structure… A new season has begun…but in what mood? Will there be improved relationships with the fans? Will more games be held in full D1 stadiums to build off growing interest in the women’s game following the World Cup?...at least 1 of a possible 5 titles is already in the bag! Mailing Address: OL ANG’ELLES – 11 Impasse Jules Verne – 38080 L’ISLE D’ABEAU Telephone: 07.83.16.21.48 - [email protected] Awards… UEFA Trophy Of the 3 Lyon players named finalists for the title of UEFA’s Women’s Player of the Year, alongside Ada and Amandine, it was LUCY who ultimately took home the trophy.
