Mikel Arteta:A Statistical Analysis(下) - 阿森納兵工廠足球俱樂部 Arsenal Football Club

(續上)

---

Playing in the holding midfield role does provide a restriction to someone of

Arteta’s ability going forward. This was evident in season 2008/9 and can

be seen by the stats which show that despite still slotting 6 goals from his

new central position, the bulk of these where from deadball positions and he

had 50% less shots on goal than he had from the previous season when deployed

on the flanks cutting inside. The central position he occupies does see him

much more involved in the play though, as demonstrated in the Chalkboard

analysis above comparing when he plays in a right sided role and from the

centre. In the above games when playing out wide he misfired 23 of his 55

passes in contrast to the following season 2008/9 against Bolton playing

centrally were he accurately shifted 72 of his 86 passes.



MA踢防守(控球)中場的位置確實限制了他向前進攻的能力，這點我們從08/09賽季的統計

數據就可以看得出來，雖然他仍然踢進了六球，但這些大部分都是來自定位球，而且相較

於前一個賽季，他的射正次數比起當時踢邊路的他少了50%。 當他踢中路的位置時，我們

可以看到他在比賽中能更融入整支球隊，這點在下面的傳球路線分析圖中能看得出來：

http://tinyurl.com/3s6lp7p

左圖是他踢右路時(vs. Derby County)的傳球路線圖，右圖是他踢中路時(vs. Bolton)的

傳球路線圖。他踢邊路的那場比賽，有過55次的傳球但只成功了32次；而他踢中路的那場

比賽，不但傳球次數增加到86次，其中更成功了72次。




The below Chalkboard’s show his passing heatmap comparison from the 2008/9

season and the 2010/11 campaign. Notice how in the 2008/9 heatmap he

distributes just 10% of his passes in the final third and is heavily involved

from a defensive point of view, completing 8 out of 10 of his tackles. If you

compare this to the chalkboard (below right) from our most reason game

against Spurs he is much more offensive and his % goes up to 41% in the final

third.



我們接著來看另一張統計圖，這是他在場上「傳球時所處位置」的分布圖(passing

heatmap)，以百分比呈現：http://tinyurl.com/3s8gd78

中間那張圖是08/09年的統計圖，右邊是10/11的統計圖，同樣都是對上烙刺。我們注意到

在08/09年，MA只有10%的傳球出現在球隊的前半場(final third)，因為他投入更多心力在

防守中，這可以從最左圖看出來：08/09年對曼城的比賽，他有過高達10次攔搶，其中8次

成功。如果我們跟最右圖比較會發現，同樣是對烙刺，這一次他竟有高達41%的傳球出現在

球隊的前半場，這個改變是因為10/11年MA在中路的位置更加靠前。




In season 2008/9 Arteta really flexed his muscle as Everton’s centre

midfield hub, and he was instrumental in the Blues surge to 5th place in the

league table and the FA Cup Final against Chelsea. In a cruel twist of fate

his campaign ended prematurely in March as injury would rule him out for

almost a year. Regular’s at Goodison will concur that in the remaining games

of this campaign and during the start of the following season Everton’s

approach was much more route one because of his absence.




在08/09年，MA確實給了Everton的中場不少力，當季Everton能夠排在聯賽第五，並且

殺入與Chelsea的足總杯決賽，MA可說是功不可沒。遺憾的是在當季(09年)的三月，他遭遇

職業生涯的轉折點，他受了嚴重的傷，並且在當季剩下的比賽都缺席，甚至在09/10年他也

缺席了開季的幾場比賽。當時有在看Everton比賽的人都很難不同意，缺少他的Everton，

在該季餘下的比賽以及下季季初的比賽踢得並不好。




Since his return from injury in the 2009/10 season, Arteta has played as a

more orthodox central midfielder with an anchor behind him and an attacking

midfielder in front of him. The Spaniard is fundamental to the Everton

strategy towards games. With him, they will dominate possession and play a

controlled passing game, playing high up the pitch often drawing numerous

free kicks around the opposition area. Without him we will adopt a much more

direct approach. This is shown in the below chalkboard from Everton’s game

at West Ham this season with Arteta and the corresponding fixture last season

without the Spaniard schemer. With him Everton made 429 passes while without

him they registered just 246. Another interesting statistic to note between

these games with and without Arteta is that goalkeeper Tim Howard’s kicking

is noticeably more direct in these fixtures, with him punting 100% more long

kicks out of play in the fixture Arteta was absent compared to the

corresponding game. The conclusion we can draw here is that with him in the

side, Everton play from the back and into midfield whilst without him there

is a greater emphasis to get the ball forward quickly.



09/10年MA從傷兵中回歸之後，他的位置變得比較像是傳統正中場(CMF)，有一個攻擊中場

在他前面、一個防守中場在他背後，MA對於Everton的戰術重要性是無可取代的，有他在

場上，球隊可以牢牢掌握控球權，踢出高質量的傳球比賽，進攻時壓在前半場，使得

Everton能在前場拿到許多自由球的機會。當MA缺陣時，Everton的踢法就變得更加直接，

我們從下圖的比較就可以看出來：http://tinyurl.com/3jq6da6


左圖是MA缺陣時Everton整隊的傳球路線，右圖是則是MA在陣時，兩張圖都是對上West Ham

當有MA在陣中，Everton整場有429腳傳球，但沒有他時銳減到246次，並且起高球的比率也

上升。另一個有趣的統計數據是，連隊內門將Tim Howard都被MA所影響，當他沒上場時，

門將開出遠距離球的次數是他上場時的兩倍，請參考如下圖(左圖沒MA，右圖有MA)：

http://tinyurl.com/3c3gzyu

在此我們的結論是，當MA在場上時，Everton可以從後場到前場慢慢導球進攻，而當MA不

在場上時，Everton則強調將球快速送到前場。




Arteta Importance to Everton

As discussed in this article Arteta provides a good barometer of how Everton

play with his appearance directly affecting the level of possession Everton

accrue in games. A look at the table below shows how vital he is to the Blue

cause. Notice the direct correlation between the games Arteta appears and the

outcomes of games season by season. The clearest representation of this is

the Blues win percentage is 44% with him in the side and just 37% with him

not in the side.



Arteta對於Everton的重要性

文章討論到目前為止，我們已經了解MA對於Everton的重要性，當他在場上時，對於

Everton控球能力的提升是顯著的。下面的表格可以證明他對Everton有多麼重要：

http://tinyurl.com/3qumxyy (Everton有MA的戰績vs.沒有MA)

值得注意的是當MA在場上時與比賽勝負之間的關聯性，最直接的數據是有他在場上，

Everton的勝率是44%，沒有他時則只有37%。



There has been disillusionment this campaign from the Blues faithful on Arteta

's output and this blog has reported on how often a lot of his passes this

campaign have lacked penetration. Indeed, in the games Arteta has missed this

campaign the Blues have more than held their own. This needs to be balanced

by the fact that opponents will always look to press him more in possession

than for example his central midfield partner whether that be Heitinga or

Fellaini.




過去藍軍們對於MA在比賽中能貢獻產出(進球or助攻)的信心似乎有些幻滅，再加上我(原著)

在blog過去也提過很多次，MA傳出的許多球都缺乏穿透性；沒錯，當MA不在陣時，Everton

是能踢得像個樣子，但要特別注意一件事實：對手對於MA的持球時的壓迫遠高於他的隊友

所承受的，舉例來說，像Heitinga或Fellaini就幸福得多。



Arteta: The future

This season has been a disappointing one thus far for Everton’s number ten.

The 3year table at the start of this article illustrates this point perfectly

in that his tackle completion, chances created per 90 minutes and shots on

target ratio’s are all down on previous season figures although his passing

accuracy continues to be steady on 83%. With a new contract signed it will be

interesting to see where David Moyes sees Arteta fitting in for the following

years. With Jack Rodwell knocking on the door for a regular spot in central

midfield and Steven Pienaar’s much expected departure it would leave Everton

with an unbalanced midfield top heavy in central midfield but weak on the

flanks. With no money in the Goodison coffers it could be that Arteta is

switched out to the flanks where of course he enjoyed his most productive

campaign output wise in the 2006/7 campaign. Whatever the future holds, the

diminutive Spaniard has been a tremendous servant to the club and it is a

pleasure to watch him on his game.



Arteta的未來

這個賽季(10/11)對Everton的當家10號(MA)來說，是個令人失望的賽季。下表是近三年MA

的技術統計數據：http://tinyurl.com/44m4r9d

從中便可得出以上的結論。雖然他的傳球成功率還是能維持在83%，但無論是攔搶成功的

次數、平均每90分鐘所創造出的射門機會或者是每場平均射正次數，這三年來每一年都在

下滑當中。


隨著MA簽下新的合約，David Moyes要把MA擺在哪個位置呢？Jack Rodwell逐漸在CMF這個

位置展露頭角，Steven Pienaar預期將會離隊，球隊的中路人才濟濟但邊路缺乏球員，正

缺錢的Everton看起來可能會把MA移回在06/07年所踢過的邊路，這也是他加入Everton以來

攻擊產出最多的位置。


無論未來會發生什麼事，這個西班牙小巨人對於Everton已經有過巨大的貢獻，看他在場上

踢球絕對是一件令人賞心悅目的事情。

翻譯後記：

從這篇文章及統計數據可看出，MA幾乎是中場的多面手，在Everton從SMF、DMF、CMF到AMF

都曾踢過，並且能夠勝任愉快。重點是，他在英超已有多年經驗，能適應眾多絞肉機對他

激烈的逼搶，買他過來不僅是在某種程度上代替小法的位置，更是把經驗值帶給眾多小將

們。雖然本文作者在這篇文章以及另一篇文章(http://tinyurl.com/3ngeac5)都曾提到

近幾年MA的表現下滑還有在Everton的影響力也下降，我想這是由於他08/09年那次嚴重受

傷所造成的影響，雖然如此，我還是很期待MA在槍手的比賽，若放在對的位置與戰術體系

，我想他還是一個稱職的控球中場與playmaker，特別是他有一腳quality FK & cross。

若球隊遭遇傷兵問題，他也可以客串中場多個位置(前提是他自己不要受傷XD)，希望槍手

其他球員能更多分散對手對他的注意與壓迫，讓他能發揮更多創造力！



另外，上一篇文有板友問到Arteta與 Hazard 跟 M'Vila的不同，雖然我對後兩者並不太熟

(其實三者都不能說很熟 XD)

但從從一些影片或文章看起來，這三個球員有頗大的不同。


Arteta是全能的中場，幾乎每個位置都踢過，與後兩者比起來最大的優點是豐富的英超

賽場經驗，這對我們年輕的中場來說，是一件很重要的事，溫格能在這麼短時間內簽到他

我認為已經非常厲害，是個很棒的補強!


Hazard的位置應該是AMF / SMF / WF，感覺上跟C羅有點像，有很強的過人能力跟速度，

他來能補強我們的邊路，並替中路注入速度跟創造力，所以如果下季能拿到是很好，

但有眾多豪門虎視眈眈.....我覺得可能要拿出35M以上才有一點機會簽到，後來想如果

短短幾天能簽到這位，不是Lille的主席一時頭暈就是溫格有他的裸照...XD


M'Vila的位置是DMP，感覺跟Makelele有點像，攔截、絞肉能力出色，這也是我們很需要的

類型，恰好能替上Song跑動覆蓋不足的弱點，這也是個年輕好物，沒拿點錢出來是搶不到

的...感覺以教授的思維，會花大錢在他身上嗎? 教授似乎會更願意去簽Hazard


Gotze我就真的不了解了，我也對他很好奇，是否有板友願意發文介紹的~
