The Capello Index

[Sonatine 10132]

What is the Capello Index?

The Capello Index was created in order to benefit all those football lovers that rarely have the opportunity to use an in-depth, objective and understandable analysis system.

 

Football is an unpredictable sport, and for this reason it excites the fans to the point they start imagining themselves as the best player, or manager in the world.

 

Everyday there are discussions about which player was the best one or who was decisive in achieving the victory or the cause of a defeat.

 

How many actually have the right technological instruments or abilities in order to correctly judge a performance? Who can evaluate, with the same detail, 22 players on the pitch at the same time?

 

The Capello Index, thanks to invaluable contribution of Fabio Capello, has benefited from the extreme knowledge and experience of such a successful manager. Thanks to the coordination of a team of professors of the “Bocconi School of Management”, a statistical analysis system has been developed in order to offer a universal and completely objective result.

 

The Capello Index is therefore the first real official football player rating system capable of coherently evaluating the player performance in different leagues and countries. It is also useful in order to know the details and shades relevant to the performances through the expert eyes of Fabio and the use of technology and innovative systems of calculation.

Might cause a few issues if he starts dishing out low marks to the England players with fragile egos, which is probably most of them

The Football Association is reviewing the involvement of England manager Fabio Capello in a player ratings website at this summer's World Cup.

 

Capello has created a storm of controversy by putting his name to the project, which has left senior figures within the FA feeling very uncomfortable.

 

Although the FA have yet to offer an official stance, it would appear Capello will come under pressure to shelve the idea, at least until after the World Cup.

 

The site intends to use the 'Capello Index' to provide performance data on all players within two hours of games ending in South Africa.

 

Already it has been depicted as Capello's analysis of matches being made public, when in actual fact that is not the case.

 

However, the perception is clear for everyone to see and the FA are desperate to avoid any allegation of disharmony in the England camp for what they view as totally unnecessary reasons.

 

Players are notoriously sensitive to their performances being marked and as they currently pay the 63-year-old a £6million annual salary, the FA are questioning why Capello should feel the need to get involved in any outside project, let alone one so potentially inflammatory just before the Italian names his 30-man provisional squad for South Africa.

 

If the project is suspended as predicted, it would also wipe away the suggestion of involvement by Capello's family, although as the data is due to be used the Premier League next season, even a temporary suspension may not appease everyone.

 

In the 'Capello Index', player performances would be marked out of 100 - based on an analysis provided by the England chief.

 

Points are awarded depending on the area of the pitch players competed in and the importance of the match.

 

A four-week trial of the index, limited to players from Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool - rated Ledley King as the best English defender.

 

And Joe Cole was ranked as the third best midfielder, even though his place in the squad Capello names is far from certain.
