Build-Up — the pass map

Rayo Vallecano

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

Chance creation — how the shots come

The question
Where do Rayo Vallecano'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

Rayo Vallecano

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: 45% of 22 pass attempts there are lost (10 times). Separately, 55% of all losses happen in the attacking third — a fair share happen deeper, which invites transitions.
