When Angers has the ball, how much of that time is spent building, progressing and creating?
The share of Angers's time on the ball spent in each phase of play, in the order the phases happen. A phase is where the ball is on the pitch (own third, middle third, final third); a transition or a set piece skips the build-up and is counted on its own.

Which Zones Do They Attack Through?
Angers
The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Angers actually do its on-ball work?
Passes on one map, carries (the ball travelling with a player) on the other. Each is binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shaded by its share of that kind of action; the arrows are the real actions.

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.

Angers build predominantly down the right, with Arcus as the fulcrum (22 build-up passes). Only 28% 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.

Chance creation — how the shots come
Angers
The question
Where do Angers'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. Then by how it was set up: a cross, a cut-back, a long ball, a pass into the box, or no pass at all (the player created it himself). So a cut-back from an attacking transition is counted apart from a cut-back in a settled attack.

The question
How does Angers deliver into the box from wide areas, and what comes of it?
16 crosses: 3 found a team-mate (19%), 1 led to a shot (6%). 0 cut-backs: 0 found a team-mate (—), 0 led to a shot (—). A cross starts wide and is aimed into the box; a cut-back starts near the byline and is squared back. Grey ones were tried but no shot came: solid found a team-mate, dashed lost the ball.

On-Ball Value — who moved the game
Every pass, carry, take-on, shot and ball win is worth the change it made to the chance of scoring minus the chance of conceding in the next 10 seconds. A forward pass into space is positive, a lost ball in a dangerous spot is negative. The chart adds the values up as the match goes on.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die
Angers
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. Grey cells are real zones with too few attempts to trust a rate.

Angers
The question
Once the opponent has the ball, how many passes and how many seconds pass before Angers win it back with a defensive action?
Counted over the 24 opposition possessions that Angers ended with a tackle, interception, recovery or challenge. Fewer passes and seconds means the ball is won quickly (a press); more means the opponent is allowed to play before Angers step in. Angers win it after 13.2 opponent passes in the first half-hour and after 3.3 after the hour mark (sooner).

Shape and tactics
How each side set up, and how far from their own norm they played.
How each side played in each third: wide or central, direct or patient, quick or slow, and what its possessions did next. The numbers use every pass, carry and take-on and follow each possession in order; the one-line verdict compares the passing with the league. Tap ? for what a number means.

Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal
Angers
A 90% pass completion can hide a sideways habit. Grading every pass by the threat it adds separates value creation from safe circulation.
Excellent (high xT gain)
9%
Progressive
1%
Neutral / sideways
52%
Safe / backward
38%
10% of passes are progressive-or-better; the remaining 90% keep possession without advancing it. A control-first side — safe in build-up, reliant on a few players for the incision.
