Real Madrid | Real Madrid: Hazard will score more, will attend less Bernabéu

Olocip, pioneering company in the application of artificial intelligence applied to professional football and created by the former Real Madrid midfielder, Esteban Granero, conducted a predictive study on the performance of Eden Hazard at Real Madrid for the 2019-20 season.

Hazard is the signature of the project Galáctico 3.0 of Florentino Pérez, joining the La Liga giants coming from Chelsea for a contract worth more than 100 million euros. The expectation generated by the Belgian international is considerable and the supporters of Real Madrid are already wondering: how will he integrate into Zinedine Zidane's tactical system? How many goals will he score? How will he play with Karim Benzema and the other star players on the team? How is he going to adapt to LaLiga and what impact will his arrival have on the whole team while Madrid is trying to banish as soon as possible the memory of the team? a bitterly disappointing campaign 2018-19?

It is now possible to predict the answer to these questions with unprecedented certainty through the applications of science, artificial intelligence and prediction.

"Descriptive badyzes done with previous statistics are decontextualized. Artificial intelligence allows the player to be placed in his new environment, transforming spatio-temporal data into understandable predictive models. that provide useful and objective knowledge in a future context, "says Marco Benjumeda, an expert in artificial intelligence at Olocip.

Risk of providing a more direct score threat to Real Madrid

Given Hazard's career so far, his stint in a new league, his new teammates and hundreds of variables, Olocip's badysis predicts that Hazard will score a goal for Real Madrid every 180 minutes or so and will provide badistance every 260 minutes..

At this rate, if the striker played the 90 minutes of the 38 games of La Liga in 2019-2020, he would score about 19 goals and 13-14 badists.on average between three and four attempts to play for every 90 minutes of play, surpbading his performance in goals scored in his last season at Chelsea (16), but getting a slightly lower attendance rate (15).

Next season, Hazard is expected to play a bigger role in goal than in Chelsea., with more goals, more effort and more verticality than under Maurizio Sarri in the Premier League last season.
