"If I have to make a tackle, I have made a mistake" I have tried to measure overall defensive impact, beyond individual defensive actions. Plotting relative threat by direct opponents against team-wide defensive performance leads to the graph below. ๐Ÿงต

1. Serie A teams concede a low total volume of open play xG, but a higher % of threat is created by strikers ย ย 2. Bundesliga teams concede high xG and Premier League strikers struggle to generate threat, which explains many failed transfers

3. Arsenal's Gabriel and Saliba are both excellent, as is Juan Foyth ย 4. Eric Garcia struggles to defend his direct opponents Article available on @Offmatch_io, which also covers full backs๐Ÿ‘‡ offmatch.io/en/article/evaluโ€ฆ

Using StatsBombโ€™s open data, I calculated xG prevented by each block during the four most recent major tournaments. The tables below reveal the 15 best players in terms of shot-blocking across and within the last two World Cups and EUROโ€™s. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿงต
