Match Analysis Technology
Helping Develop Soccer in the Philippines
MAKATI
CITY, Philippines – Since
Thomas Dooley was appointed Head Coach the Philippines men’s
national soccer (football)
team has had some impressive results and attained its highest
ever FIFA
ranking. Aiming even
higher and with an
objective to achieve
a finals appearance in the 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup followed by
qualification for the
2019 AFC Asian Cup the
Philippines Football Federation
recently rewarded Dooley with a two-year contract extension.
In addition to the skills, knowledge and experience the former United States team captain has brought to the role, a major addition having a direct impact on the team’s improvement has been his implementation of new systems and technology. This has included California-based Match Analysis’s state of the art video and statistical analysis product suite that has successfully been adopted by the Azkals.
The
new and more in depth analysis program provides coaching staff
and players with
access to Mambo Studio and Tango Online. These cutting edge
tools enable them
to collectively or autonomously analyze performance as part of
their
development. They also receive individual meetings where they
review their own data
and video clips along with team meetings during which:
1.
Opponents are analyzed to discuss expected line-ups, along
with video clips
reviewed of individual players to identify strengths and
weaknesses and what to
expect from their opponents
2.
The Azkals players are shown video clips to improve knowledge
and provide a
greater insight into the tactical aspect of the game
“A
significant change that has had a major impact on our progress
has been the
implementation of Match Analysis’s products and services.
Their tools are unbelievably
powerful and yet extremely easy to use by players and staff.
They have become
an invaluable asset in making our pre and post-match analysis
process much more
efficient and cultivating the long term development of soccer
in the
Philippines. It really is like having another full time coach
in our
organization, freeing up time allowing me to work on other
important aspects of
improving our program,” said Thomas Dooley.
Commenting
on how Match Analysis products are used to enhance the
Philippines men’s
national soccer team the Head Coach said “Tango Online is
excellent for players
to scout their opponent in the palm of their hand online,
24/7. They get to
know their opponents as well as they know their own teammates!
Also, Mambo
Studio video editing software is really easy to use and allows
me to
communicate with my players worldwide by sending customized
video clips to
player’s mobile devices. I can even encode my text message
into the video so
the player understands why I’m sending the clip. If the player
wants to
download the video clip, it’s simple, they just click on the
Tango ToGo
icon! It’s a fast and
efficient way of
getting the message across. Providing players with better
knowledge of the game
along with greater insight into the opposition reduces errors
and improves us
as individuals and a team.”
“I
love the Philippines and its people. It’s a beautiful country
where everyone is
so friendly and always wanting to help, so it makes me
immensely happy that
they have a soccer team to be proud of,” added the Azkals Head
Coach.
“Performances and results are consistently improving down to
the player’s hard
work and dedication to enhance their skill levels and gain a
better
understanding of the technical parts of the game. With the
structure we are
putting in place and the implementation of technology, soccer
in the
Philippines will go from strength to strength and help support
its future
development.”
“It is
fantastic that the
Philippines men’s national teams’ coaching and playing staff
have embraced
Match Analysis products. We are delighted to provide the tools
that Thomas has
incorporated to create a more professional structure that is
bearing fruit with
their greater success on the pitch,” said Match Analysis
President Mark Brunkhart.
“Having known Thomas for a number of years I am really pleased
that he’s been
rewarded with a longer term contract. We look forward to
supporting him with
his aspirations to develop the overall foundations of soccer
throughout the
Philippines.”
