Premier League first round data: Guess who is the fastest? Who runs the most without the ball?

After the first round of the Premier League, who left a deep impression on you, and who made people feel disappointed? Every fan's feelings should be different, but the level of the data should not be biased depending on the different ideas. Recently, data statistics company Opta announced some of the "most data" in the first round of the new season's Premier League, including who runs the most, who runs the fastest, etc. These "firsts" may not necessarily mean that its creator must have performed well, but they are also an interesting reference.

First, let’s take a look at the ranking of “coverage distance”, which is what we often call “running distance”. The first place is not very famous, it is Manchester City's midfielder Nico Gonzalez. Since Manchester City played a total of 103 minutes against Wolves, the 23-year-old Spanish midfielder may have a point-of-hour advantage, but 12.23 kilometers is already a pretty good result, 0.6 kilometers higher than Leeds United midfielder Stach, who ranked second. By the way, the top five players all have a running distance of more than 11.5 kilometers, and they play as midfielders or central defenders. This is really a position where you have to work hard both front and back.

As for the fastest speed, the current Newcastle United is a bit of a laughing and proud heroes, and the two fastest players in the first round are under their command. The new Ellanga ran at a speed of 35.9 kilometers per hour, but he was not the first one - the first one was Anthony Gordon, who was now forced to center as a winger. The latter score is 37.01 kilometers per hour. This has not surpassed the fastest speed of the Premier League last season - Tottenham defender Van Devin's 37.12 kilometers per hour, but it is also very close.

Elanga previously played for Nottingham Forest and was one of the main offensive initiators of the Forest. Now that he has transferred to Newcastle, another winger in the original team, Hudson Odoi, seems to have more opportunities to hold the ball. According to statistics, Odoi dribbled the ball and moved 265.3 meters in the first round of the Premier League, which was farther than any other non-defensive player. What is quite interesting is that the second and fourth place on this data list are from Manchester United. Mbomo dribbled the ball 240.8 meters, while Cunya had 236.7 meters. Among them, Cunha's forward dribbling was 201.3 meters, which is also the highest defensive player in the first round, which shows the new impetus brought to Manchester United by the two new players.

Of course, if you talk about single dribbling, Semenho's long-distance run is undoubtedly the best in the first round. Before breaking Liverpool City for the second time, the Bournemouth winger dribbled the ball and sprinted for a full 52 meters. Since relevant statistics were found in the 2015-16 season, this length can rank among the top 100 million in the Premier League. When Semenho showed his might, the new player Wilz, who spent more than 100 million pounds, received "different evaluations". Some people think he is not adaptable to the local environment, while others think he is already getting used to it. One thing that is certain is that Wilz himself worked very hard. Although he did not play all the game and was replaced by Chiesa in the 82nd minute, he still created the best data in the first round of the Premier League: when he was in possession of the ball, Wilz had a total of 35 runs without the ball, and the distance without the ball was as high as 1,054 meters, which was unparalleled in this round.

In addition, Wilz has 429 high-intensity runs, with a speed of at least 17 kilometers per hour, and is also the first in the first round of the Premier League. With these data as a base, Liverpool fans don’t have to worry about Wilz’s work attitude and his belief in trying to integrate into the new environment.
