Overview

The team

Who they are and how the season went.

Who Are They? — Identity

The question
In one read, what kind of team is Venezia and how good was the season?
Read. Venezia currently sit #20 of 20 on 3 points (1W-0D-7L, 0.38 pts/game), scoring 6 and conceding 17 for a goal difference of -11. On the ball they are a balanced-territory team (54% field tilt, #8 in the league); off it they defend with a aggressive high-press (#4 of 23 for press intensity). Across the 8 matches of event data, they create 1.48 xG/game (#7) and concede 1.92 (#22), a net of -0.44 xG/game — the underlying performance matches the actual goal difference.

Season Context — the league table

Match Momentum — when they create and concede danger

The question
Across a whole game, which periods does Venezia 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.

Vision AI Model Insight
Venezia tend to come alive after the break — first-half net xG -2.47, second-half -1.02. Their strongest period is 61-75' (net +0.33 xG); their most dangerous period to face is 76-90+' (net -1.60 xG against them).

Tactical DNA

The football question
In five genes, what is Venezia'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.

Field Tilt — Territorial Control

The question
How much of the pitch does Venezia actually control, relative to the rest of the league?

Field tilt = share of final-third touches between the two sides across Venezia'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; Venezia highlighted. Hover any dot for the team.

Vision AI Model Insight
Venezia post 54% field tilt, ranking #8 of 23 in the league — comfortably above the league mid-point for territorial control, and their 0.38 points/game sits below the league-average return — a real disconnect: their territorial control isn't showing up on the scoreboard the way it should.

Where the time goes — how long each phase lasts

The question
When Venezia has the ball, how much of that time is spent building, progressing and creating?

The share of Venezia'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.

Passing Network

The question
Who actually plays with whom — the real on-pitch connections, not just average positions?

Every pass linked to its likely receiver (the next same-team touch), aggregated into player-pair combinations at each player's average position. Line width = how often the pair combines; colour = threat generated per pass (blue low → red high). Hover a line for the pair, or click a player to isolate their connections.

Which Zones Do They Attack Through?

The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Venezia 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.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Venezia build predominantly down the left, with Stankovic as the fulcrum (317 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 C def → LHS def (88×).

◆ Vision AI Insight
Venezia progress predominantly down the left, with Pérez the busiest midfield outlet (216 progression passes). Only 14% of passes that start in midfield actually break the final-third line — the rest (75%) is recycled back into midfield or (10%) played backward, the hallmark of a side that carries progression itself through midfield rather than just passing through it. Their most-repeated pattern is LHS mid → LW mid (98×) — press that lane and midfield progression stalls.

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 creation4 sections

Chance creation — how the shots come

The question
Where do Venezia'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.

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
Venezia lean left — 43% of their key passes come from that flank and its half-space (38 of 88), most often from Haps (5). They funnel chances into the c of the final third, most often via LW att → C att (15 key passes, most often from Basic). Pérez is the primary source overall. They generate 1.48 xG a game and finish it wasteful — they under-perform their xG, led by Akor Adams (2G), Antoine Hainaut (2G), Richie Sagrado (1G).

Crosses & Cutbacks — squad-wide

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

112 crosses: 35 found a team-mate (31%), 18 led to a shot (16%). 28 cut-backs: 11 found a team-mate (39%), 4 led to a shot (14%). 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.

112 crosses this season (the same crosses as the map above), split into fifteen territories — five channels (both wings, both half-spaces and the centre) by three depths from the halfway line to the byline. 27% come from one territory, the advanced left wing; 4 come from the half-spaces and 0 from the centre.

When they lose it1 section

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.

Pressing — the full picture

The football question
How hard does Venezia 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.

How long they keep it — passes and seconds until the ball is won

The question
Once the opponent has the ball, how many passes and how many seconds pass before Venezia win it back with a defensive action?

Counted over the 243 opposition possessions that Venezia 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 Venezia step in. Venezia win it after 6.4 opponent passes in the first half-hour and after 3.6 after the hour mark (sooner).

Attitude in each third

Every other style number here says how much Venezia does. This says how: wide or central, short or long, patient or direct. Bars are standard deviations from the league mean for passes played from that third; a solid bar marks a dimension where Venezia are genuinely unusual, and a verdict is only written where something clears 0.85 sd — a side that is ordinary in a third is told so rather than given a label for average play.

Reference measured across roughly 3,500 match-teams in this competition, per third, so the comparison is with Venezia's own league. The means behave as football should: width of use grows 21.0 → 25.6 → 31.6 going forward, pass length shrinks 22.7 → 17.2 → 15.5 m, and completion is hardest in the final third. Tempo is integer-resolution because the feed records whole seconds.

Transitions1 section

Transitions — attacking & defensive

The question
When Venezia win or lose the ball, what actually happens in the seconds after?

Reconstructed from the full timestamped event stream: real possession spells (not zone-clustered), and shots that follow a regain within a fixed window. This phase of play needs ordered, per-event timestamps — which every match here carries.

Vision AI Model Insight
Venezia are a patient build-up side: 16% of possessions reach the final third in 3 passes or fewer (#15 of 23), against 30% built patiently over 6+ passes (#10 of 23). Winning the ball back leads to a shot inside 12 seconds 1.75 times a game (#2), and a high regain converts to a shot within 8 seconds 2.62 times a game (#17 of 23) — not yet a major source of chances.

Where do Venezia's corners go?

36 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 is recorded here, 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.

Performance vs Opponent Styles

The question
Not just how Venezia results against a high press or a low block — how does their own play actually change?

Every match split into three tiers by how hard that specific opponent pressed (opponent PPDA — lower means a more aggressive press), matching Venezia's own passing behaviour to the result.

Vision AI Model Insight
Facing a high press, retention drops to 79% vs 86% against a low block (7pt lower under pressure), and directness (long-ball share) sits at 14% when pressed vs 10% against a low block — a mild adjustment, not a wholesale change.

Scouting Summary — the team in brief

In brief. Venezia are balanced-territory with a aggressive high-press. Their attack creates 1.48 xG a game and they concede 1.92 a game. [Event-data based — no tracking, so off-ball structure and marking scheme need video.]

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. This is Venezia’s last 8 matches added up: where the value came from, who produced it, and the six biggest single moves. OBV only measures what a player does with the ball: it shows who added the most on-ball value, not who was the most important player (defending off the ball, positioning and pressing are not in it).

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: xG conceded /game (4th pct)
Sign a defensive organiser / shot-suppressing centre-back. The data flags this because too much xG is conceded (1.92, 4th percentile vs the league).
