DBasia.news – Football in the modern era provides a lot of convenience to search for strengths and weaknesses of opponents. Only with a touch of the mobile phone, all information is available. Argentina national team defender, Juan Foyth also uses the technology.
The 21-year-old player, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has a unique way to see the strength of the opponents he faces. Foyth uses WyScout’s media analysis and exclusive subscription to ‘spy on’ his opponent.
“That (WyScout media analyst) was given to me by my agent (Daniel Bolotnicoff) and I paid it exclusively to analyze rivals,” said Foyth, as reported by Marca.
“You write the names of the players and there all your best information and movements appear … and then there I try to analyze who I will face and their characteristics.”
So far this method has worked well for the Estudiantes academy product. Foyth, who has only played two caps with Argentina, performed well in both matches in the Copa America 2019 against Qatar (Argentina won 2-0) and Venezuela (Argentina won 2-0).
Foyth played in two different positions in the two matches, namely center-back and right-back. He performed well against Qatar and Venezuela. Foyth may continue to use the application during the 2019 Copa America semi-final.
Argentina will fight Brazil at the Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto in the 2019 Copa America semi-final, Wednesday (3/7) 7:30 a.m. WIB. Foyth won’t necessarily played by Lionel Scaloni in the match, however, he will still use WyScout to analyze the opponents.
Different from the opponents he has faced, Brazil is of course studded with quality players who plays in Europe. Foyth needs more than just a media analyst to spy on the opponents.
