Calvo Sotelo, known as El Manchego, secured a draw in their visit to Illescas, a result that ensures their qualification for the promotion play-off. The match was marked by tension and excitement, with both teams fighting intensely for every ball. Ultimately, the draw was enough for the Manchego team to advance to the next phase, where they will face Tarancón.
Data strategy ahead of the play-off 📊
The coaching staff of Calvo Sotelo has implemented a tactical analysis system based on collecting data from previous matches. They study Tarancón's playing patterns, such as their tendency to press in the first fifteen minutes and their effectiveness in set-piece plays. The use of summary videos and heat maps allows adjustments to the defensive setup. The key will be maintaining possession in the opponent's half and avoiding losses when playing out from the back, a weak point detected in recent matches.
El Manchego and its mysterious GPS of victory 🗺️
The team has started using GPS devices in training. The coaches claim they measure fatigue and speed, but the players suspect they are actually looking for who runs the least. The mystery was solved when the assistant coach confessed that he uses the data to know who puts the least effort into warm-up runs. The important thing is that no one loses their way towards promotion, even if it's through the beeps of a watch.
