Anyone who enjoyed this video go and watch the highlights for Brighton vs arsenal this season to see the best example of odegaard doing this for his assist for martinellis goal. The execution and technique of the pass is amazing but if you slow the video down to 0.25x he scans once before xhaka even passes and then two critical scans to see if martinellis on the same page as him. It’s just phenomenal to look up twice as the balls travelling to you all whist adjusting your body to meet the ball perfectly for the perfect pass. As soon i started watching this video It reminded of that assist cos it’s such a good example of it from odegaard. Great video!!

[@bgonline3401]

Very interesting. Scanning isn't normally a quality we look at when judging a player. Great video. Sub'd.

[@RiceBowl0]

I’d counter with the point that it is, especially within players in the middle the pitch…I think it’s a trait that more and more people are beginning to realize is integral to a quality baller

[@kingkenzokwansa]

Scanning anticipation and body positioning are the most important qualities required from an intelligent world class player.

[@sk8erbyern]

That's how players like Xavi went unnoticed for years and still remain underrated despite winning 2 Euros and a WC in 4 years as the brains of his national team and club. Average person is pretty dumb, half the population is even dumber than that. That's who is judging footballers.

[@acpulse]

@@RiceBowl0 Maybe to fans who haven't played??? Scanning is really basic stuff taught at an early age.

[@only_fair23]

​@@RiceBowl0 Everyone knows it's integral. Pros just do it without thinking, based purely on instinct. They probably don't even realise how important it is to them.

[@georgefalconer9470]

Scanning, composure, and tactical awareness are the difference makers between young academy players and professional footballers.

[@osazebienose3036]

Great video Nobody really talks about things like this But yet they are so important

[@DeJongeVoetballerPodcast]

Amazing content! I coach a few youth elite players and even in their academies the ignorance for scanning is huge. If i watch a jupiler pro league game, highest level in Belgium, i see a very few amount of players who scan for awareness. There is so much room for improvement and should be added at the basic principles of football.

[@nicolascastelli4439]

Scanning by itself isn't a trait that can be measured by volume alone. The ability to track players in their mind, overall vision and understanding of the game all comes into play when understanding why and when a player Scans. Some players will scan loads and won't see much, some others will scan a couple times and be able to get enough info depending on what they're looking to do once they get the ball.

[@Orisha001]

Yep. Messi doesn’t need to scan much to see the whole picture. For Xavi, I think it’s just an obsession on his part.

[@TheFazunkl]

THATS CRAZY! of him, but your analysis is superb too!

[@jkalkstein]

This is really, really good. That said, I would encourage you to caveat comparisons. Tough comparing any two players as it's always relative to so many things. Is the opponent playing against a team sitting in? Is the player man marked? Even the conditions dictate this to some extent (the hotter it is the tempo will drop off and everyone typically has more time and space). Ultimately, in order to scan the frequency is typically dictated by time and space (as well as ability). So even analyzing Odegaard in one game compared to another could see a swing in results. That all said, again, this is fantastic and really glad to see you provide this so both players and coaches alike get some sense of the importance of scanning. Great job here.

[@jovemgafanhoto4512]

As a brazillian who grew up playing football 24/7 i feel really mad that we only have this kind of advanced football knowledge content online right now, in my turn we had none of this, i use to just play for fun with my friends all day long, rather to focus on improving and etc, i feel that i could have been so much better then i was ( bcz i was good just playing for fun ), my basic idea about football was dribbling and scoring ( mostly dribbling ). I remember that my friends were always mad at me for not defending and not passing the ball.

[@danfry909]

Great analysis. Ødegaard also has a very good VR belly.

[@giangole]

Pirlo was the king of scans, one scan and first touch 60 yards passes...

If your first priority as a center mid is to not be dispossessed, obviously it pays off to be obsessive about pre-touch scanning.

I didn't even know this was really that big of a thing or at least as high a frequency. I guess it makes sense cause we do it when we drive.

[@AzuNaKun]

Scanning is something all footballers do passively, basic instinct for anyone who plays the sport. Knowing when to scan is the key part.

[@88Wern3r]

Ødegaard has trained this very consistently and specifically with his father (who's a coach in the Norwegian league) from a very young age

[@jonasmyrholt2103]

True. When Martin was 15 and Real was in for him. A newspaper asked his father what made him so good. The father did not use the word «scan» but described several exercises they did from when he was young to get a updated picture of the field before recieving the ball

He doesn’t really stick to the flank he’s not a real rw

[@justicedemocrat9357]

His scan rate was 100%

[@TheChocolatBlanc]

At PSG it’s prolly a negative number

[@CognizantCheddar]

Messi doesn't scan as much because he's confident in his reactive dribbling. His supreme dribbling ability does two things for him -- first, it keeps him from being dispossessed despite not scanning for potential tacklers, second, it encourages him to take the ball forward himself, which _then_ leads to critical pass opportunities by creating space for a teammate to make a run.

[@kev4the537]

Odegaard saw this. He said it in the newest Unisport video

[@goatxenon]

btw messi needs less critical scans because he always knows opponents positions because he runs less & always keeps himself updated that's why most of the time when he is receiving the ball he don't need critical scanning like others, he only does that when he feels like info that is in his head needs to be updated.

[@kattphatt]

It appears you count head scans by head movement. What about what the eyes are doing? I believe some data may be missing there

[@usenobongeyak2371]

brilliant one mate ❤

[@SoccerDad93]

I think this is one of those skills that should be taught and encouraged EARLY. It really doesn't matter if your overall skills aren't the best yet. The more you scan, the more good plays you'll make even if your skill level is very low. I think it should start being strongly encouraged around 6 or 7. It may look absolutely silly at first, and may even lead to more bad plays than good ones. However, kids learn and adjust quick. So it would likely level out within about 6 months. And if they're skills also improve in that time, just imagine how good a 7 year old that truly scans even once every 10-12 seconds would be as long as they can at least somewhat dribble.

[@d204b207]

to me, this makes it very interesting when martinelli throws up his hands in frustration when odegaard "misses" him for an ez pass in the box and instead does pump fake 1 dribble drop the shoulder and then shoot. its obvious from your video that odegaard knows he is there he is just determined in that moment to be the guy to take the shot, which makes martinelli's frustration justifiable. however, it seems because he know that there is no way odegaard didnt see him so it was a selfish shot from a player who is absolutely not selfish with the ball
