Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some football stats lately, specifically looking at Rodri’s passing game at Manchester City. It’s kinda wild how much this guy gets the ball moving, you know? So I started digging into his “pass attempts per game” to see what’s up.
First, I pulled up some basic info. Apparently, Rodri played in 34 Premier League games last season. That’s a lot of football! Then I found this site, StatMuse, that has data on pass attempts per match going all the way back to 2014-15. That’s some serious history right there. According to them, Rodri’s been averaging 85.78 pass attempts per game throughout his career at Man City. Pretty impressive, huh?
But here’s where it gets interesting. This season, his average is even higher! We’re talking 106.27 pass attempts per game. Dude’s a passing machine! I wanted to know what kind of passes he’s making, so I dug a little deeper. Turns out, he’s making about 42.4 medium-distance passes (that’s between 15 and 30 meters) and 11 long-distance passes (over 30 meters) every game.
Breaking Down the Numbers
- Career Average: 85.78 pass attempts per game
- This Season: 106.27 pass attempts per game
- Medium-Distance Passes: 42.4 per game
- Long-Distance Passes: 11 per game
I also stumbled upon some info that said Rodri averages 102.4 passes per 90 minutes played. That just confirms what we’re seeing, right? This guy is central to how Man City plays. Now I know I’ve only looked at Rodri’s stats from two games this season which is nothing, but it’s still pretty wild to me.
So yeah, that’s my little deep dive into Rodri’s passing stats. It’s crazy how one player can be so involved in a team’s game, huh? Makes you appreciate all the work that goes on behind the scenes, away from the goals and the glory. It seems like I learned a lot more about Rodri and his passing stats and how he plays with Man City.
