Once again - Greece sit back and soak

June 14th, 2008 •  Permalink 

Was that a penalty? Hmmmm, looked like a good shout to me - and with Russia making all the running so far in the first 15 minutes of this Group D clash, the familiar pattern of the Greeks sitting back and soaking up pressure seems to be happening again. A thought that is backed up by the statistics on the Castrol Index even after 15 minutes. Just take a look at the heat maps of the Russian midfield and the Greek defence. Greece are sitting way back and not pushing forward anywhere, let alone down the flanks, while Russia are covering the pitch in the midfield but mostly pushing on.
