Who Are They? — Identity
The question
In one read, what kind of team is Al-Ittihad Alexandria and how good was the season?
Read. Al-Ittihad Alexandria currently sit #6 of 20 on 7 points (2W-1D-1L, 1.75 pts/game), scoring 4 and conceding 3 for a goal difference of +1.
On the ball they are a balanced-territory team (49% field tilt, #12 in the league); off it they defend with a passive / low-block (#13 of 20 for press intensity).
Across the 4 matches of event data, they create 0.93 xG/game (#11) and concede 0.91 (#9), a net of +0.03 xG/game — the underlying performance matches the actual goal difference.

Match Momentum — when they create and concede danger
The question
Across a whole game, which periods does Al-Ittihad Alexandria actually dominate for chances — and which periods hurt them?
Net xG (created minus conceded) in each 15-minute window, summed across the whole season's matches — above the line is time they dominate for chances, below is time it hurts them. Real on-clock shot timing, the only event type on this platform with a genuine in-match timestamp.
dominant (net xG for)conceding (net xG against)
Vision AI Model Insight
Al-Ittihad Alexandria tend to come alive after the break — first-half net xG -0.87, second-half +0.97. Their strongest period is 61-75' (net +0.62 xG); their most dangerous period to face is 31-45' (net -0.51 xG against them).
Tactical DNA
The football question
In five genes, what is Al-Ittihad Alexandria's footballing identity?
Each gene is a 0–100 score — the team's league percentile across the metrics that define that phase of play. It distils the whole report into an identity fingerprint: the taller the gene, the more that trait defines them.

Part 3
In Possession
Where they play, how the ball travels, how they progress it, and whether the passing actually creates value.
In possession · phase 1
Build-Up
Field Tilt — Territorial Control
The question
How much of the pitch does Al-Ittihad Alexandria actually control, relative to the rest of the league?
Field tilt = share of final-third touches between the two sides across Al-Ittihad Alexandria's matches, the standard proxy for territorial dominance. Plotted against points per game for every side in the league — the real question isn't just who controls territory, it's whether that control actually converts into results. Dashed lines mark the league average on each axis; Al-Ittihad Alexandria highlighted. Hover any dot for the team.
Vision AI Model Insight
Al-Ittihad Alexandria post 49% field tilt, ranking #12 of 20 in the league — below the league mid-point, spending more of the game defending their own territory than dictating it, and their 1.75 points/game sits above the league-average return — a real disconnect: their territorial control isn't showing up on the scoreboard the way it should.
Which Zones Do They Attack Through?
The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Al-Ittihad Alexandria actually do its on-ball work?
Every pass and carry Al-Ittihad Alexandria makes, binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shown as a % share of all on-ball actions.
Vision AI Model Insight
Their single busiest zone is the centre of the middle third (11.3% of all actions). 62% of actions run through the inside lanes (centre + both half-spaces) versus 38% down the two wings — an inside-dominant, half-space build. By third: 30% defensive, 49% middle, 21% attacking.
Build-Up — the tactical board
The football question
How does Al-Ittihad Alexandria progress possession from defence into attack — and who runs it?
The board is the picture: each flow line is one of their most-repeated build-up passes — it brightens from blue to red toward its destination (where the threat lands), its width is how often it is played, and travelling particles show the direction. Toggle the overlays to isolate lateral, forward or switch passes; hover any line and the sidebar names its dominant passer.
Origin Fans — where they can actually go
The four busiest build-up origins, each fanning into the directions they really pass in. Blade width is how often that direction is used, colour is the threat it adds. The spread is the point: a narrow fan is a predictable side you can press on one shoulder, a wide one keeps its options open.

Real Team Shape — from player average positions (not a schematic)
The board above is the pattern; this is the evidence — the eleven most-used players at their true average on-ball positions this season, named, with each one's actual side-aware role. Dot size = minutes played.
◆ Vision AI Insight
Al-Ittihad Alexandria build predominantly down the left, with Mostafa as the fulcrum (158 build-up passes). Only 27% 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 LW mid → LHS mid (34×) — deny that lane and you slow their whole build.

Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal
A 90% pass completion can hide a sideways habit. Grading every pass by the threat it adds separates value creation from safe circulation.

Chance Creation
Chance Creation — the tactical board
The football question
How does Al-Ittihad Alexandria consistently create dangerous chances — from which zones, and who creates them?
Each flow line is one of their most-repeated creation patterns (key passes — the pass before a shot). Watch the lines brighten from blue to red as they converge on the danger zone, which glows and pulses where the ball arrives; width = how often, particles show direction. Toggle to isolate the side it comes from; hover any line and the sidebar names its creator.
Danger Funnel — which service carries threat
Every key pass pooled by where it was played FROM, then drawn with its arrow width set by total xT rather than by count. A zone that produces a lot of cheap balls shrinks; one that produces a few decisive ones dominates. Where this disagrees with the volume map, the volume map is the misleading one.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Al-Ittihad Alexandria lean right — 41% of their key passes come from that flank and its half-space (13 of 32), most often from Awad (5). They funnel chances into the c of the final third, most often via RHS att → C att (5 key passes, most often from Wahid). Wahid is the primary source overall. They generate 0.93 xG a game and finish it clinical — they beat their xG, led by Hossam Hassan (2G), Isaac Saviour (1G), Nour Alaa (1G).

Crosses & Cutbacks — squad-wide
The question
How does Al-Ittihad Alexandria deliver into the box from wide areas?
28 crosses (10 completed) and 15 cutbacks (6 completed) this season across the whole squad — two separate wide-delivery patterns, each its own map with a completed/failed filter. Neither is a tagged event on this data source, so both are inferred from pass geometry — the intended end point of a failed attempt is still real data: a cross starts from a wide channel and is aimed into the box; a cutback starts almost on the byline but is squared back rather than driven forward, aimed centrally around the box.
How hard and how high they press, where they win the ball back, and where they concede it and get hurt.
Pressing — the full picture
The football question
How hard does Al-Ittihad Alexandria press, where, and does it actually work — beyond a single PPDA number?
A composite Pressing Index built from four event-derived dimensions, each ranked against the league. Not one metric — intensity, height, effectiveness and opponent disruption together. The pitch shows every defensive action (the only five events this data records); the white line is the average height that feeds the score. Toggle by action type below, hover any dot for the player.
Ranked #13 of 20 for press intensity, this is a low block. 31% of defensive actions happen in the middle & attacking thirds, at an average height of 28. Of recoveries, 42% are won high up the pitch.

Honest limit — no transition timing
This source has no cross-event clock or possession sequences, so genuine transition metrics — 5-second counterpress, time-to-recover, press→shot within 10s, and xG/xT generated after a high regain — cannot be computed and are deliberately left out rather than estimated. Every number above is a direct read of recorded defensive actions and opponent passes.
Vulnerability Map — how opponents hurt them
The report flipped: where do opponents create their threat against Al-Ittihad Alexandria? 196 opponent progressive passes and 43 shots faced (3.6 xG against) across the season.

How Do They Concede?
The question
Where do the goals against Al-Ittihad Alexandria actually come from — open play, dead balls, and who supplies them?
Every goal Al-Ittihad Alexandria conceded across the loaded matches — the opponent's shots in Al-Ittihad Alexandria's own matches — plus every individual opponent key pass faced, each drawn as its own real arrow (not zone-clustered) with the % share of each zone behind it.

Set pieces
0 · 0%
Penalties
0 · 0%
Vision AI Model Insight
3 goals conceded. 100% come in open play; set pieces account for only 0%, so dead-ball defending is not the main issue. 0% are headers — aerial defending is not where the damage comes from. Their supply line runs mainly through the right wing of the attacking third (24% of key passes faced) — that is the zone to shut off.
Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die
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.

Their weakest zone is the right wing in the attacking third: 42% of 90 pass attempts there are lost (38 times). Separately, 29% of all losses happen in the attacking third — a fair share happen deeper, which invites transitions.

Where do our own corners go?
20 corners taken this season, split by which flag they were taken from — arrows from the flag, dots at the delivery point, shaded by % of that side's corners landing in each zone (same treatment as the concede map below). No swing-direction (inswinger/outswinger) data exists in this event feed, only a start and end point per pass, which cannot show how the ball curved — so this shows what is genuinely knowable: where it lands, and short vs actually delivered. Tap or hover a dot for who took it and the match; filter to one match below and the shading recomputes for just that game.

Recruitment Intelligence — profiles to sign
The question
If you were sporting director, which player profiles would move the needle most?
Each recruitment target is derived directly from the team's weakest areas vs the league — the gap, why it shows in the data, and the profile that closes it.
Need — bottom-third: press intensity (PPDA) (35th pct)
Sign a high-energy presser to lift defensive intensity. The data flags this because the press is passive (14.64, 35th percentile vs the league).
Need — below-average: field tilt % (40th pct)
Sign a possession-controlling midfielder to win the territorial battle. The data flags this because they get pinned back (48.69, 40th percentile vs the league).
Need — below-average: progression /game (40th pct)
Sign a progressive passer / ball-carrier to break lines. The data flags this because progression is limited (45.50, 40th percentile vs the league).
Scouting Summary — How to Play Them
How to play them. Al-Ittihad Alexandria are balanced-territory with a passive / low-block. They sit off, so patience and width are needed to break them down;
their attack runs at 0.93 xG/game — containable, and they concede 0.91/game (solid).
Deny the box entries through their strongest channel and force them wide.
[Event-data based — no tracking, so off-ball structure and marking scheme need video.]
Player Role Architecture
The question
Who does what — and what tactical job does each key player actually perform?
The nine most-used players (450+ minutes), each with the role their event fingerprint points to — not just their listed position.
