Champions League - Tuchel on the wealth of data in soccer: you have to be selective

Thomas Tuchel has explained how he deals with the wealth of data in professional soccer. "To be honest, we have everything at Bayern Munich. That is important. But I don't think you can forget to rely on your experience," said the FC Bayern Munich coach at the Ispo sporting goods trade fair.

As a coach, you have to rely on what you see on the pitch, what you feel. "That's why it's nice to have all the data. In the end, you have to find the data that suits your style and how the game should be played," explained the 50-year-old, who was a coach at Chelsea FC and Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Munich and also managed Dortmund and Mainz in the Bundesliga.

It is important to be able to reduce the amount of data. "It's very important for a club to have all the data. For us as coaches, it's important to reduce it and then use the reduced data to reduce it again and give the players a minimum of input," Tuchel explained. You can then specify clear requirements, but still give the players enough scope for creativity. However, data would also provide evidence if, for example, you were not satisfied with a player's running performance.
