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.
In your own build-up area, play on one or two touches: don't try to dribble past their press, and keep first touches clean.
45% of their high regains come straight after the opponent tries to dribble past someone or takes a bad touch (league median 29%); only 18% come from forward passes.
Copy the sides that escaped it: Lecce got out 80% (long on 20%).
Average escape rate against them is 52%.
Their most dangerous route through midfield: Douglas Luiz takes it into the final third with a short pass (right). Cut that lane before the ball reaches him.
25 times in the window, 28% end in a shot vs 13% for their other routes.
Avoid conceding corners; mark Bremer first.
25% of their corners end in a shot; first contacts: Bremer (6), Nico González (3), Jérémie Boga (2).
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. Juventus attack left to right.
attacking → · shaded = the build-up zone
407 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.

664 progression phases. Dot = the median spot of a player's touches in this phase; size = share of touches; lines = consecutive touches between two players.

564 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%.
207 in the window. The press on a build-up = the first two rows: 28 (3.5 a match).

The opponents who went long most (36% of build-ups) got out 47% of the time; those who mostly played short (18% long) got out 58%. That is a lean, not proven at 20 matches (p=0.2674).
Best escapes: Lecce 80%; Atalanta 62%; Lazio 61%. One dot per match; hover for the opponent.

12.8 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. Juventus's goal is on the left. Central attacks carry more xG for every team, so compare with Juventus's own attacking xG in the same kind of channel (centre, or the average flank): left 43% conceded vs 36% own, right 40% conceded vs 36% own, centre 16% conceded vs 29% 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.

Won high = the ball won in the opponent's own third. Forced long = the opponent left its third with a long ball (then either lost it in that possession, or kept it).

Fast = the keeper's side reached its final third within 15s of the save. Quick = first pass within 6s.
