Potential Penetrative Pass (P3)

Abstract

To score goals in football, a team needs to move forward on the pitch and there are various ways to do so. Depending on the game plan & philosophy; some teams prefer to play long balls from either wings or defense. Others, prefer to penetrate in depth with passes and outplay the opponent players. To objectively & in an automated way evaluate how teams play penetrative passes compared to the number of times they had the potential to do so, the "Potential Penetrative Pass (P3)" concept is presented here.
