Spain, Primera Division (Liga BBVA) 2013/14 Previews

The Liga BBVA or dribbling is one of the determinants of football action , as for winning a game is necessary to have several players who dominate perfectly this type of play . Dodge is named differently depending on where in the world we are, but manages to do all of deception and speed of execution a perfect weapon to unbalance games. We look at the teams in the league that more turns used in the first half of the 2013-14 League.

Barcelona was Spain Liga BBVA 2013/14  in the 228 turns over the first 17 league matches . The Tata Martino completed 55.4% of his attempts to dodge , figures which later analyze individually. Few shade the Catalans in a statistic that is closely linked to the rate of ownership of the team and the creativity of the players.

In fact, at the other end of the Barcelona Levante is Joaquin Caparros , who completed just 81 turns provides an average of 4.7 per game. The data can be dramatic if we think there are skilled players who are able to string four or five consecutive turns in the same action , would be talking about these players can get in a play what the Levante in a match total .

Behind the overwhelming dominance of Barcelona lies the Granada , the other team of over 200 turns in this league. The incidence of Brayan Angulo, Piti , and especially Brahimi, has been vital in the possibility that Granada is the second major league team that takes more turns on. Yacine Brahimi is currently the league footballer of the highest number of turns has been achieved, even above the stars of Barca . The Algerian player dribbles with fortune once every 15 minutes, an average that makes Granada a more dangerous team . The Lucas Alcaraz are twelfth at this time.

Behind the two giants of the turns is Spain, Primera Division (Liga BBVA) 2013/14 Real Madrid, too far away though. Carlo Ancelotti 's men managed to complete 172 turns in the first 17 days , with fairly low effectiveness rate that exceeds by some 40% . Undoubtedly, this is an aspect to improve for the Madrid side , as their figures are worrying compared to Barcelona , especially in the section % correct .

Teams like Villarreal and manage Rayo Vallecano also hover in the top ranking of dribbles in the league. In the Yellow Submarine out the Aragonese Cani , a whole life insurance in this type of play . Villarreal completed 168 turns , ten more than his nearest rival , which is none other than the Rayo Vallecano de Paco Jemez .

Again, not surprising that the whole vallecano again be at the top of a statistic that rewards creative actions . Rayo Vallecano is distinguished by an innate facility for driving the ball and freedom however, makes it extremely vulnerable in defense . Jemez team is brave, and this incidence is noted in the table turns in the league.

Neymar and Messi Barcelona players are more turns have succeeded. Argentine absences have enabled new hurdle overcome signing him in the statistics. Both are close to 50 turns in the first 17 days . Umpire is Andres Iniesta , who turns over 40 and and a 64 % effective , confirming its high incidence in this type of play .
