Description
“Football is a simple game based on the giving and receiving of passes, of controlling the ball and making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.”
In Episode 6, we cover the somewhat broad topic of ‘passing’ in football. The most simple element of the game, perhaps, but we look to show how some passes have more value than others.
‘Pass Completion Percentage’ and ‘Total Passes Played’ are great statistics, but do they tell the whole story of a player’s contribution in the game? We look to unpick these terms, and also discuss some of the greatest passes of all time!
