Sky Sports recently shared each Premier League player's fastest speed in 2024/25. Compiling the data by club revealed an interesting fact about Liverpool.
Watching the Bayern-PSG game yesterday made me wonder how important sprinting is for the success of the team. Both sides seemed to be constantly sprinting in and out of possession which made it a very chaotic game.
Would you say speed trumps tactics at CL/PL level?
That’s a good question. As important as having speed is, I’m not sure it would trump tactics entirely. I suppose it’s like most things in that player quality matters most of all and the best players are rarely the slowest!
Great stat and an enjoyable read.
