This makes it possible to analyse crucial aspects such as movement without the ball and thus optimal movements, game choices, and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team, which allow for an objective and qualitative evaluation of the performance.

“For the final calculation were considered the matchdays from 11 to 13 of Serie A 2024/2025.”

Marcus Thuram, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Mateo Retegui were named Serie A Player of the Month for August, September, and October, respectively.
