Getting started with the Montpellier OM stats
I was sitting at home yesterday morning and thought, “Hey, how did Montpellier OM play in that last match?” You know, I’m a big football fan, and I like to keep up with all the updates, so I decided to dig in and share my little project here.
Finding the game data online
First thing, I grabbed my laptop and opened it up. I started typing into the search bar to look for Montpellier OM’s latest game. It took me a bit because I had to check a few places – you know how it is, I didn’t want just any old info. I clicked through some pages until I found one that had the details from their recent match. The stats weren’t easy to read at first, all squished together, so I copied them down in my notes app to make sense of them.
Then, I watched the game replay real quick. I sat there with my coffee, rewinding bits to see what happened. Montpellier was playing, and I jotted down some notes about how they looked on the field. Stuff like passes and shots – it was a bit messy, but I focused on the key parts so I could piece it all together.
Putting the analysis together
Next up, I took all my notes and started analyzing it myself. I mean, I’m not some big expert, but I compared the stats to see how they performed. Like, Montpellier had a lot of attempts, but they didn’t score much in that game. It seemed like their defense was solid early on, but things went downhill later. I used a simple table in my word doc to break it down:
- Shots: Took plenty, but many missed – felt sloppy.
- Pass accuracy: Started strong, then got worse over time.
- Final score: Lost, which wasn’t surprising after what I saw.
This part got me a bit frustrated because the numbers didn’t tell the whole story. I had to add my own thoughts, like how the players moved slow in the second half. But hey, it came out okay after some trial and error.
Wrapping it up for the blog
Finally, I typed up my whole process in a doc and got it ready for sharing. I double-checked my notes, fixed some spelling errors, and hit publish. Now it’s live, and I hope you find it useful! It was fun to do, even though it took a couple of hours to finish everything.
