The intuitions of Billy Beane, historic gm of Oakland in baseball, have also made inroads in football: from Brentford to the ideas of Blessin, the new Genoa coach, a journey into the mind of those who can no longer do without big data to play football
Matthew Benham can’t stand some things. In order: the defeat, the liars, the gossips who prick his Brentford and the word “Moneyball”. That is the film with Brad Pitt about the miracle of the Oakland Athletics in baseball, which thanks to the revolutionary method based on the analysis of the statistics of their GM Billy Beane in the late 90s became a squadron in the MLS. Benham, owner of Brentford in Premier, hates the combination. It annoys him.
