Team Style.

Possession-Based teams control play with structured passing; Balanced teams sit between the extremes; Direct / Pragmatic teams favour a quicker route forward. Labels use league-relative possession thirds, prioritising drawn matches where tactical effects are smaller.

High Press, Mid Block and Low Block describe the balance of proactive and reactive defending. Proactive Defense % and Step-Out Ratio % are compared with the tournament median to assign the label; these are statistical indicators, not tracked defensive lines.

Aerial / Physical means the share of aerial duels is above the tournament median; Technical means it is below. This describes duel preference, not an overall judgement of quality.

The team’s passes as a share of both teams’ combined passes. This is a pass-based proxy, not a time-based possession measure.

Long passes as a share of total passes. Higher values indicate a more direct route forward.

Passes in the opponent’s half divided by total team passes. Indicates where the team plays when in possession.

Accurate passes divided by total passes. A technical build-up indicator.

Expected goals divided by shots. Higher values describe higher-quality chances rather than greater shot volume.

Key passes divided by shot attempts. Describes the amount of chance creation relative to shooting.

Interceptions divided by interceptions plus ball recoveries. Higher values suggest more active disruption of the opponent’s passing.

Tackles divided by tackles plus clearances. Higher values indicate more attempts to win the ball directly rather than clear it.

Aerial duels as a share of all duels. A proxy for how much a team engages in the air.

The proportion of contested aerial duels won by the team.
