Description
Expected Goals traces the remarkable rise of data analytics in football, revealing how statistics moved from the margins of the sport to the center of decision-making. From Liverpool to Leipzig and beyond, it explores the innovators, clubs, and ideas that have reshaped recruitment, tactics, performance, and the way the modern game is understood. Rory Smith combines vivid reporting with sharp analysis to tell a compelling story of technological change, institutional resistance, and the continuing tension between numbers and instinct. The result is an insightful portrait of how data conquered football—and changed it forever.
