It was found that Ulsan Hyundai, which is leading the way with 6 consecutive victories at the beginning of the professional football K League 1 season, showed strength in the ‘packing pass’ that beats opponents.
On the 11th, the Professional Football Federation announced the players’ activity and packing pass index based on the K-League rounds 1 to 4. Ulsan center back Kim Young-kwon and midfielder Park Yong-woo took first and second place side by side.
Kim Young-kwon beat 369 players with 254 passes in 4 games. He averaged 1.45 per pass. Park Yong-woo followed 330 with 287 passes. It can be interpreted that the two players put strength into the rear build-up, which is Ulsan’s strength, with the packing pass, which is the starting point of the attack.
The packing pass index is the first index introduced by the federation. Packing is a concept devised by German soccer players Stefan Reinartz and Jens Hegeler in 2014, and is an index that indicates the maximum number of players a player can pass or dribble. The federation explained that the purpose is to check the actual performance of players based on various qualitative data. 스포츠토토
