Each line is generated from a finding that cleared its evidence bar; nothing here is a generic coaching point. The grey line says what it rests on; the button opens the sequences.
Copy the sides that escaped it: Barcelona got out 87% (long on 27%), Rayo Vallecano got out 80% (long on 0%).
Average escape rate against them is 61%.
When you win it, go down their left side immediately.
55% of the xG they concede after losing the ball comes down their left side (56 attacks, 12 shots), against 35% of their own attacking xG through that channel.
Avoid conceding corners; mark Nemanja Gudelj first.
21% of their corners end in a shot; first contacts: Nemanja Gudelj (3), Martín Satriano (2), Enes Ünal (1).
Where each player takes the ball in each phase of their possession, and who passes to whom. Event data has no off-ball positions, so this is the shape of their touches — the standard event-data proxy. A phase is defined by where the ball is, so the dots sit inside that phase's third (shaded): read the order and the width, not the depth of each line. Getafe attack left to right.
attacking → · shaded = the build-up zone
476 build-up phases. Dot = the median spot of a player's touches in this phase; size = share of touches; lines = consecutive touches between two players.
attacking → · shaded = the progression zone
679 progression phases. Dot = the median spot of a player's touches in this phase; size = share of touches; lines = consecutive touches between two players.
attacking → · shaded = the final third zone
472 final third phases. Dot = the median spot of a player's touches in this phase; size = share of touches; lines = consecutive touches between two players.
Tackles, interceptions, recoveries, blocks, challenges and fouls in the opponent's final 40%.

The opponents who went long most (31% of build-ups) got out 57% of the time; those who mostly played short (15% long) got out 65%. That is a lean, not proven at 20 matches (p=0.4188).
Best escapes: Barcelona 87%; Rayo Vallecano 80%; Athletic Club 72%. One dot per match; hover for the opponent.

13.2 opponent attacks per match after winning the ball in open play that broke forward fast or reached the final third. Shading and % = share of the xG they produced, by the channel they used. Getafe's goal is on the left. Central attacks carry more xG for every team, so compare with Getafe's own attacking xG in the same kind of channel (centre, or the average flank): left 55% conceded vs 35% own, centre 31% conceded vs 29% own, right 14% conceded vs 35% own.
Every real turnover, named by the situation it came from. "Fast" = the side with the ball reached the final third within 10 seconds. Only real turnovers appear here: for everything the press wins high, including restarts it forced into an error, see "Every ball won in the opponent’s third" in the press section.

Every controlled possession is typed by how it was played, and every real turnover (a possession that was established and then lost) by what the losing side was doing, how it lost the ball and what the winner did next. "Settled" = sustained or worked possessions; "unsettled" = short, second-ball, counter and direct possessions.

Fast attack = their final third or box reached within 10s. Secured = kept 10s+ or 4+ passes. Lost straight back = controlled, then lost within 5s. Can’t keep it = won the ball but never got it under control (cleared it, headed it away, blocked it or lost it at once).
Each phase split into the situations it is made of, every row with its league median and clips. Shots are their own category: a possession that ends in a shot has finished, it has not lost the ball.
