Among the other things that Mirwan Suwarso said in explaining the change of Como coach Moreno Longo, there is also this. A non-trivial step. «Are you asking me why I made this choice? In fact the situation has been monitored for some time: we have seen that the performances in the last three games have continued to decline. Como is the team that concedes the most chances when they are ahead, and also the one that is least likely to score again after taking the lead of the match. We are also the team with the fewest touches in the opponent’s half. The results obtained so far have given us a favorable position in the rankings. But we believe it is necessary to act now so that the new manager can have enough time to prepare for the January window.”
Does it remind you of anything? Yes: the study of numbers to judge a football match. A trend that is becoming increasingly popular in football, but which has to do with football up to a certain point.
In fact, it is taken into consideration by football clubs with foreign ownership close to basketball or baseball, disciplines where statistics are much more decisive and explanatory. These words cannot fail to be linked to Billy Bean’s visit to the stadium, in the match against Catanzaro. The king of algorithms, the man who changed the way of making the baseball market, a new consultant for football teams including Milan (coincidentally owned by the Americans) and who inspired the character played by Brad Pitt in the film “The art of winning”, was next to Suwarso.
And now the possibility is taking hold that in the future the choice of players can be made according to that philosophy. These words demonstrate it.
