Al Ittihad, the UAE-based football club, has launched a new initiative aimed at improving the performance of its players by analyzing their assist data.
The initiative, which was announced on Wednesday, will see Al Ittihad work with the French midfielder N'Golo Kanté to analyze his assists and identify areas for improvement in his game.
Kanté, who joined Al Ittihad from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, has already made a significant impact on the team, scoring 11 goals and providing 24 assists in just 27 appearances this season.
However, the club is keen to ensure that he continues to perform at the highest level possible,Football Vision Network and believes that analyzing his assist data can help them do just that.
"We are very excited about this initiative," said Al Ittihad CEO, Mohammed bin Sulayem. "We want to ensure that our players continue to improve and reach their full potential."
According to the club, the analysis of Kanté's assist data will be carried out by a team of experts who have been specially selected for the job.
"The goal is to provide us with valuable insights into how we can help N'Golo improve his game," said bin Sulayem. "By working closely with him, we hope to see him continue to make a significant contribution to the team."
The initiative comes as part of Al Ittihad's wider commitment to developing the next generation of talent within the club. The club has invested heavily in youth development programs in recent years, and aims to continue doing so in order to build a strong and sustainable footballing legacy.
Overall, the launch of this new initiative marks another important step forward for Al Ittihad, as it looks to maintain its position as one of the top clubs in the world.
