Possession – Possessions are defined as one or more sequences in a row belonging to the same team. A possession is ended by the opposition gaining control of the ball.
The success of a football team depends a lot on the individual players making up that team.

It is therefore important to take into account both the position and the league when evaluating individual football players or football teams.
