The round table \u201cData Analysis at the Service of the Game\u201d<\/strong>, moderated by Sara Carmona<\/strong> (Head of Data at YouFirst) and David R. S\u00e1ez<\/strong> (CEO of Sports Data Campus), brought together diverse profiles such as Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00f3n Sandoval<\/strong>, Miguel \u00c1ngel Ferreira<\/strong> (Sporting CP), and Ibai G\u00f3mez<\/strong>, aiming to provide a comprehensive perspective on the role of data<\/strong> in professional football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The discussion explored different approaches and helped bridge the potential generational gap<\/strong>, showing that all roles within the game share a common language: performance-driven analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a coaching perspective, Sandoval<\/strong> emphasized that data should not dehumanize the player<\/strong>, highlighting a key idea: \u201cdata is a narrative.\u201d<\/em> For him, competing without data is no longer possible, but its true value lies in interpretation and context<\/strong>, ensuring that information is filtered to avoid player overload<\/strong>. He stressed the importance of adapting insights to both individual and team contexts, using data as support for decision-making<\/strong> and communication within the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Miguel \u00c1ngel Ferreira<\/strong> provided a more structural view of data usage within a club. He explained how data was first introduced in the scouting department<\/strong>, later evolving into a dedicated analysis unit<\/strong> capable of producing reports that deliver actionable insights for both players and the club. Today, data is also applied in areas such as load management<\/strong>, injury prevention<\/strong>, and physical performance monitoring<\/strong>, becoming an integral part of daily operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From a hybrid perspective, Ibai G\u00f3mez<\/strong> highlighted the importance of data in his transition from player to coach. His methodology relies heavily on both opponent and self-analysis<\/strong>, supported by a technical staff with specialized data roles. His playing experience also allows him to better understand the emotional context of the dressing room<\/strong>, promoting clear, accessible communication where data enhances rather than restricts player creativity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the round table reinforced the idea that data is not an end in itself<\/strong>, but a tool that serves the game. Its real value lies in the ability of professionals to interpret, contextualize, and communicate it effectively<\/strong>, always respecting the essence of the player and the dynamics of football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The round table \u201cData Analysis at the Service of the Game\u201d, moderated by Sara Carmona (Head of Data at YouFirst) and David R.
