Analyzing FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ games from a technical standpoint

Post by OJI »

Here is an upcoming opportunity for us direct, and indirect stakeholders of the Nigerian game to raise our understanding, and look at the game with a different lens.

The new World Cup page on the FIFA Training Centre has been designed as a hub for anyone interested in analyzing FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ games from a technical standpoint. The content will include a range of interviews, videos, articles and podcasts, all contributed by the members of FIFA's Technical Study Group (TSG), an expert team of ex-players and coaches lead by FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development, Arsène Wenger. Their unique blend of on-pitch experience and analytical acumen will help you decode the action on the pitch and read between the lines to understand how matches are won and lost.

A dedicated page on Sunday Oliseh
In the build-up to the World Cup, former Nigeria midfielder Sunday Oliseh shares his memories of playing in the tournament, and highlights some key factors to look out for in Qatar.

Playing at two World Cups
Oliseh explains that the pressure players face in the run-up to the World Cup depends on their individual circumstances. While players going into their first tournament may be looking to show they are capable of playing at the highest level of international football, more established internationals will be aiming to lead their country to the latter stages.

The role of the defensive midfielder
Oliseh started his career as a number 10, and was naturally creative. In that respect, football as a whole has moved towards his playing style, as today's defensive midfielders are expected to attack as well as defend. One thing has remained constant, though: you can't win a major tournament without a solid defensive midfielder.

Memories of 2014, and what to look out for in 2022
In 2014, it quickly became clear that Germany were the team to beat – they dominated all their matches. However, analysing football is a much more complicated task now than it was even eight years ago, and that's where FIFA's new technical analysis tools can play a key role.

The importance of data
Oliseh stresses that analysts and coaches need to use all the data available to them, because talent without a gameplan is not enough to win tournaments. The team that wins the 2022 World Cup will have to score highly across all the key FIFA Enhanced Football Intelligence (EFI) metrics.

What to expect from Africa's representatives
This is a landmark tournament for African football because all five African qualifiers are coached by Africans. Senegal and Morocco look particularly strong, and it will be interesting to see whether Morocco can produce their unique combination of European, African and Middle Eastern playing styles when it really counts.
