Football Actions

Methodology of work, analysis and processing of football situations, which is used by the world leader Wyscout

Wyscout is one of the most influential companies in the world of football analysis and scouting, having become an indispensable tool for clubs, analysts and coaches. The platform is used by thousands of professional teams around the world - from academies to elite clubs in the top leagues.

It offers a huge database of matches, players and teams, combined with a detailed video library and precise statistics. Wyscout can be used to perform both individual player analyses and comprehensive tactical analyses of teams and matches.

The system allows for the breakdown of game situations - from passes and shots to complex actions such as off-ball movement, pressing and positioning. It also allows for comparison between players and tracking their development over time.

Wyscout essentially combines data and video into one powerful tool that turns analysis into football science.

*Each video starts with a freeze frame and continues after a few seconds*
