Exciting hitman Iglesias ranks impressively

As we can see in this video, Real Betis sharpshooter Borja Iglesias lies top of his team’s charts for the close attention he attracts from opposition defenders when receiving the ball (an average of 2.6 metres). Indeed, shielding the ball with players at close quarters is a hallmark of the frontman’s game, which has many facets to it.

If we focus on what all strikers live and breathe for, Iglesias features amongst the league’s top three players for goals per game, with a ratio of 0.65. That comes as little surprise when we note that he lies amongst the top 10 players in the division for shots on target, posting almost 1.5 per outing.

These statistics have seen the Panda bag himself a place amongst the top 15 players in the shot conversion stakes, with an impressive 25.7%. In short, this season has seen the target man combine quantity and quality to offer the Betis faithful a level of efficiency in front of goal that has brought no shortage of excitement and good results.

“Encontramos hasta dieciséis cámaras perimetrales fijas de alta resolución para el tracking óptico”

Estos dispositivos permiten la integración, a través de la herramienta de análisis Mediacoach, de dos tecnologías: tracking y eventing. El tracking se apoya en la información de seguimiento recogida por las cámaras perimetrales del estadio, y permite elaborar métricas como las referidas a distancia recorrida, velocidad máxima y media, o número de sprints. Mediante el eventing se registran los eventos más objetivables: número de pases, córners, o faltas cometidas y recibidas. La información captada a través de tracking y eventing se integra y almacena en el sistema formando un conjunto de datos de gran volumen.
