🔵⚪️Doncs aquesta tarda he decidit fer uns conceptes de les samarretes que ha presentat avui l'Espanyol. 🪄 Afegint un parell de detalls i descartant d'altres, crec que queden uns bons conceptes. Potser són idees pels 125 anys? 😜 #RCDE #Kelme

Hem tornat 💙🤍🫶🏽 @RCDEspanyol #RCDE

Obviously this is a very reductionist view of the game, and does not describe the complexity with which Bayer's game situations are generated,but I do try to explain how the actions happen that have generated so many goals and contribute to the German team's season history!🏆⚫️🔴

🔴⚫️Some conclusions: ⚡️quick playing situations, less than 14 seconds 🤏🏽few passes to generate goals 🎯accumulation of players in the area 💡understanding of game situations 🫂lines together when the score is in favour, fast counter attack

⚔️Bayer vs teams faced 👟in the last 15 minutes only 4 teams have a better shooting average than Bayer, but the Germans are still well above overall average(1.45-0.73 and 0.56-0.24 xG) ⚽️if we look at goals, only 2 teams have a better average and still above overall (0,71-0'15)

First of all, they accumulate many players inside the area and at the front 🔙thanks to this, they manage to occupy space behind the defenders' backs 🎯they identify the space they have to attack by freeing themselves from the mark

And how are those goals with a pass from the flank and a finish in the central area?🤔

But, in which zone are goals scored? ⚽️ as we can see in the image, goals are scored in the central area (81.82%).🛤️ where is the last pass given? 🏃🏽‍♂️ only 3 goals have been through passes from a central area, the 86.36% have been from the side↩️

Considering that, how long do Bayer's attacks last?🤔 ⏱️18 of the 22 goals have been scored in 14 seconds or less 6⃣19 of 22 it only took a maximum of 6 passes to score the goal!

Rapid attack situations with the following principles: 🫂defend with the lines together and close to the ball 👁️fix the defender 🏃🏽‍♂️occupy space between defenders

And what are the goals like when the team is winning? when they are winning, most of the time they have had an offensive transition situation or organised attack - in offensive transition situations they have the lines very close together (video next)
