After the first five matchdays of Serie A, the first statistics on team performance are starting to come in.
Among the most interesting rankings is that relating to high pressing, a parameter that measures the intensity with which teams attempt to win the ball back in the opponent’s half.
According to a special ranking published by OptaPaolo, Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma, currently leading the league table with Inter and Lazio, occupies second place in this special ranking.
This statistic highlights one of the key characteristics of the Giallorossi coach’s game, based on pace, aggression, and the ability to put pressure on opponents.
Ahead of Roma is Alvini’s Frosinone, who have made a surprising start to the season and currently top the high-pressing league. The Lazio team has stood out for its intensity and organization, garnering attention thanks in part to their unexpected and surprising 2-0 victory in the last round against Como.
