We Counted Every Time Odegaard Checked his Shoulder in a Game

When it comes to vision and decision making, Martin Odegaard is one of the best players in the world. He sees a pass before others and knows exactly what he's going to do with the ball before he receives it.

What's his secret: Scanning

We watched Odegaard for the entire Arsenal game v Fulham counting every single scan. This is what we found...

It makes sense that he's more of a scan king than Messi. Dude is from Scandinavia

[audrinemukisa]

This is incredible, the analysis is superb

[Bandy]

Without a doubt the best extended commercial I've ever seen. Very well done. Wonderful analysis.

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!!

There was a cool moment at 4:34 where Odegaard and Partey had a synced scan. Unreal stuff.

[bgonline]

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

[kofio]

No one was better than Xavi when it came to scanning. His head was on a swivel!

[SatouKazumaa]

This is the first time I've seen an analysis about scanning this is great content

[superAweber]

You opened a door I didn't know existed. Plus, impressive writing and narration to show your analysis

[stellar]

This guy is just class. Saka is doing great for Arsenal right now, but this guy is my favorite player to watch.

[hmzhus]

What a special player, controls the tempo of the game like Ozil

[nicolascastelli]

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.

This is why Odegaard is my favorite player on this arsenal team. His vision is just so good.

[shantshafwhaanjulius]

This is the perfect video to show my players. I preach about Scanning every training session and this video perfectly sums up scanning. Top Suff

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

[gooner]

Absolutely fascinating. I'm suddenly a much smarter football fan, thanks to the video.

[osazebienose]

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

[mahendrajaya]

holycrap this video criminally underrated. needs massive views

[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.

there are levels to this game. This was a nice presentation
