The Federal Commission for Women's National Competitions of the FFF, validated at its meeting of November 26, 2015, the use of electronic systems for monitoring and evaluation of performance (EPTS) on the players of the PSG. What help Farid Benstiti and his staff to refine their tactical scheme?
Lifts in real time, but not for direct use
FIFA had made it clear during its General Assembly of February 28, 2015, the use of electronic systems for monitoring and evaluation of performance (EPTS) is approved, but the data transmitted can not be received or used in the surface technical during the match. Specifying at the same time that the use of the EPTS is authorized provided that they do not present any danger for the players or match officials.
What remains to be proven, given the number of systems available on the market that have not yet passed into the hands of FIFA Quality Program members for electronic systems for monitoring and benchmarking.
This despite their invitation to the manufacturers to exchange throughout the month of October 2015.
For PSG Benstiti, what gain?
If football is a team sport, where the results of the team are the center of attention, it is clear that the individual performance sometimes weighs heavily on the quality of the game. Also, to align the best team, it is necessary that the players aligned in very good physical conditions. This observation, should be that of the Paris staff, which during the preparation sessions must identify the best elements to determine the game system he wants to put in place before each meeting of women's PSG.
In reality, the coach of the PSG, to make his selection, is usually based on his own observations, the opinion of physical trainers and a multitude of other criteria more or less objective.
Since the beginning of the season, it seems that other extraterrestrial elements were unfortunately taken into account by Farid Benstiti, to deprive some players of playing time.
Results, several international seems to want to leave the ship as soon as others, seem to sink with ... The Titanic effect?
As you have understood, these data could quickly give rise to choices geared towards performance rather than affinities and thus, to limit the sources of dissatisfaction that seem to be topical within the Paris workforce.
Provided, of course, that everything is done in a positive step in the service of the collective rather than to legitimize illogical situations, even unfair.
And if it instilled a bit of madness in the Parisian game? 2nd place and therefore a qualification in champions league are at stake after all ... Case to follow!
