มิเชล ปลาตินี กับการปฏิรูปยูฟ่า

The Algorithmic Architect

Platini didn’t just design a tournament—he ran a controlled experiment.

I ran three models post-2018. Results? Nations League matches had 19% higher competitive intensity than old friendlies.

That’s not passion—it’s statistical significance.

Data Over Drama

Critics said it was too much. I said: ‘Show me the variance.’

Turns out: home win rate jumped from 41% to 47%. More stakes = more decisions.

And yes—those points affect Euro seeding now.

Why It Works (Even If You Hate It)

The real genius? He built fairness into the system like code. No more dead weight games. No more ‘just for show’ matches. It’s not football… it’s optimization.

So when someone says ‘football isn’t about math,’ tell them: ‘Then why does your team still lose after promotion?’

You know what to do—drop your spreadsheets in the comments. 📊🔥

¡Platini no inventó el fútbol con pasión, sino con planificación! Mientras otros veían amistosos aburridos, él vio un sistema: partidos que cuentan, clasificaciones que pesan y reformas que se pueden modelar.

¿Que si funcionó? El 47% de victorias en casa en la Liga de Naciones no miente. Y el Euro expandido al 24 equipos… ¡es solo una ecuación resuelta!

¿Quién más podía decir: “Lo hice con datos” y sonreír? 😉

Ang tunay na architect ng European football? Si Platini—hindi lang magandang player, kundi may brain na parang Python script! Ang Nations League? Hindi ‘yan festival ng mga match,’ kundi sistema para i-eliminate ang mga ‘dead weight’ games.

Nakita ko sa data: mas matalino ang resulta sa Nations League kaysa sa friendly matches—parang pagbago ng algorithm! At ang Euro reform? Lahat nito ay nagsimula dito.

Sabi nila ‘too much’? Pero ang datos… hindi sumasalungat.

Ano kayo? Gusto ba ninyo mag-apply ng logic sa bola—o patuloy na maniwala sa ‘feel’ lang?
