Build-Up — the pass map

Bologna

The football question
How does Bologna 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
Bologna build predominantly down the left, with Skorupski as the fulcrum (22 build-up passes). Only 22% 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 → LW def (10×).

Which lanes actually create the threat

Share of passes played from each lane against its share of the threat (xT) they add. Efficient = more threat than volume, sterile = lots of the ball, little damage.

Chance creation — how the shots come

Bologna

The question
Where do Bologna'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.

Crosses & Cutbacks — squad-wide

Bologna

The question
How does Bologna deliver into the box from wide areas, and what comes of it?

8 crosses: 1 found a team-mate (12%), 0 led to a shot (0%). 0 cut-backs: 0 found a team-mate (—), 0 led to a shot (—).

Inter

The question
How does Inter deliver into the box from wide areas, and what comes of it?

11 crosses: 5 found a team-mate (45%), 1 led to a shot (9%). 2 cut-backs: 2 found a team-mate (100%), 0 led to a shot (0%). A cross starts wide and is aimed into the box; a cut-back starts near the byline and is squared back.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die

Bologna

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 wing in the attacking third: 44% of 16 pass attempts there are lost (7 times). Separately, 23% of all losses happen in the attacking third — a fair share happen deeper, which invites transitions.
