I was watching the EPL preview show on Mon nite, and one of the features was a new technology that tracks all 22 players on the field and records some serious data on their play...Its some high tech thing using a whole set of cameras and computer technology.
It measures the distance covered by players, percentage of passes that are accurate, also gives an activity map of the hottest places on the pitch where a particular player is, etc etc, it look real dread.
Christiano Ronaldo covered over 10km in the game on Sat gone ! (vs Middlesboro I think)
Could u believe that? Lord.
Steven Gerard I think was closing in on 12km.
That is remarkable, considering plenty of that is sprinting, and u still hadda control, pass and shoot.
Wonder how Stern john's stats will look like
