They are more likely to attempt mid- to long-range passes than players who play up front, and in doing so, beat relatively more players.
In four games in September, Osmar passed 331 times, beating 424 players.In particular, Osmar led the pack in short (15 meters or less) and mid-range passes (15-30 meters).The federation commented, “He kept the ball moving with relatively short passes in the defensive zone to maintain stability, and he also supported the attack by controlling the pace in the central zone.”In the final third (attacking area), Pohang’s Wandelsson (43 passes, 67 packed) was the most prolific. In K League 2, FC Anyang’s Baek Dong-gyu topped the packing index 온라인카지노 (207 passes, 321 packed).
