Gabriel Rojas recibió su primera convocatoria a la Selección Argentina.
Uno de los mejores laterales en el continente, con mucha profundidad y con una alta eficacia en los centros, lo que lo convierte en un constante creador de ocasiones.

Been making a concerted effort to learn deeply about football data analysis and how those numbers are applied. Really interesting but personally feel like a decent amount of the data applications are underbaked with unaddressed assumptions.
Data is a convincing story to sell to decision makers and more convincing than eye-test or qualitative justifications and especially to those unfamiliar with football deeply, numbers can paint an enticing picture.
But yeah, I feel like a lot of the data stuff, at least in the past, although partly useful makes jumps too great when posing their conclusions.

Something short on this
On avg, a team's PPDA decreases by about 0.17 when facing Wolves this season
I.e. if a team normally averages 9.5 PPDA, against Wolves they may average 9.33
PPDA is influenced by several factors and isn't always reliable for estimating "press intensity"

@umirf1 One of the big issues football data faces right now is a disconnect between what something is measuring & what it's used for/how it's used PPDA is a perfect example. It doesn't measure pressure. It's just an avg of the number of passes allowed vs defensive actions...
