Build-Up — the pass map

Cagliari

The football question
How does Cagliari progress possession from defence into attack — and who runs it?

Build-up passes grouped into 5 real categories — not the old zone grid, not raw individual lines: CB (passer is a centre-back), Wide→FB, Central, Long Wide, Long Central.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Cagliari build predominantly down the right, with Caprile as the fulcrum (22 build-up passes). Only 38% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing. Their single most-repeated pattern is C def → C mid (6×).

Chance creation — how the shots come

Cagliari

The question
Where do Cagliari's chances actually come from?

Every shot sorted twice. First by the kind of attack: an attacking transition (the shot came within 15 seconds of winning the ball), a settled attack (open play after the team had the ball), or a set piece.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die

Cagliari

Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier.

Their weakest zone is the right half-space in the attacking third: 42% of 19 pass attempts there are lost (8 times). Separately, 40% of all losses happen in the attacking third — a fair share happen deeper, which invites transitions.
