👨‍💻 Xavi will incorporate an innovative software for tactical analysis. He also used it in Qatar.

• The program is developed by Joan Vilà, Xavi's mentor, & the company Kognia.

• The software allows automatic detection of tactical situations.

@ffpolo @EduPolo • The software allows to automatically detect all tactical situations during a match: superiorities, spaces, imbalances and everything.

• This allows coaches to have a basis to work and improve not only collectively, but also individually.

@ffpolo @EduPolo • The software is being improved to also be able to offer real-time data, so that a coach can correct situations in a game on the fly, without having to wait for half-time or review videos after the game to detect errors made.

@ffpolo @EduPolo • Until now, many of the programs that clubs work with provided them with a set of statistics derived from the game or videos of the plays, which later had to be analyzed manually.

@ffpolo @EduPolo • With this new system, thanks to a series of mathematical and computerized processes, all the tactical situations of the game are automatically detected and everything is done objectively.

@ffpolo @EduPolo • The software has recently started to be commercialized and Villarreal has been one of the first to use it. Barcelona will do now.

• Several top European clubs have recently been interested in the project.

@ffpolo @EduPolo • Xavi knows the project well and considers it unique. He had been testing it at Al Sadd and is also one of the shareholders of Kognia.

• Other illustrious shareholders of Kognia include Iker Casillas, Paulo Sosa, Unai Emery and Victor Font.
