Hapoel Tel Aviv has achieved a remarkable international distinction in football, securing seventh place worldwide for successful line-breaking passes. This finding comes from a comprehensive new study by the Swiss research institute CIES, in collaboration with sports data analysis firm SkillCorner. The study analyzed hundreds of football clubs from 63 professional leagues globally, evaluating their ability to penetrate opponent defenses with intelligent and effective deep passes.
Hapoel Tel Aviv demonstrated an impressive accuracy rate of 83.54% in these types of passes. This places the Israeli club among elite international football giants. The study was led by Dutch club Ajax with 86.25% success, while Hapoel Tel Aviv's performance is noted alongside prestigious clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Qatar's Al Sadd, Scotland's Celtic, and Belgium's Club Brugge.
The SkillCorner technology assesses player positioning, pressure conditions, and accurate forward movement towards the opponent's goal in real-time. A line-breaking pass is defined as one that bypasses the opponent's pressing line, creating a dangerous attacking opportunity. For example, a defender or midfielder identifying a gap and delivering a through ball that neutralizes the opposition's press.
Experts emphasize that the study focuses specifically on the success and accuracy rates of passes executed, not their overall quantity or the number of goals scored as a direct result. Therefore, the statistic highlights precise decision-making and a high success rate when players choose to take risks with forward passes, rather than necessarily indicating constant attacking flow or a high volume of chances created.
