As a data analyst with a MIT background, I’ve tracked every goal, pass, and defensive shift across 63 matches in Brazil’s U20 league. From razor-thin 1-0 wins to explosive 8-0 thrashings, this isn’t just youth football—it’s a statistical battlefield. Here’s what the numbers reveal about rising power, tactical discipline, and why the underdogs are rewriting the narrative.

As a data scientist from Imperial College London with a master's in sports analytics, I chose to extend my contract with Al-Hilal not for fame—but for the numbers. This isn't about emotion; it's about xG, defensive structure efficiency, and long-term tactical alignment. Here, football is evolving beyond spectacle into science. I’m not chasing trophies—I’m building them, methodically, using R and Python to prove what metrics truly matter.
