00:00But you know that this argument, used to try and justify that one team would be favored by the refereeing,
00:04'is not valid
00:04Just because team A has twice as many penalties over a period of time X doesn't mean that...
00:08'a B team over the same period X'
00:09That it means that Team A is favored by the refereeing is irrelevant.
00:12I see this argument used extremely often to explain that, for example, Real Madrid is a club favored by
00:17arbitration
00:17Since I'm a heroic coach, I'm obviously not going to defend Real Madrid.
00:20We know very well that Real Madrid has a slight advantage over other teams
00:23But if you're going to denounce it, you might as well do it properly.
00:24Anyway, even Diego Simon explained it
00:26Of course, Real Madrid is a team that attacks a lot, that is very often in the penalty area.
00:30adversary
00:31And it's actually mathematical.
00:32The more time your attackers spend in the opponent's penalty area per match
00:35The higher the risk of a penalty
00:36Especially since in Ligue 1 we have defenders who are sometimes a little unbalanced.
00:39So I am convinced that if we replace Real Madrid with a team that has absolutely no connection
00:43positive or negative with arbitration
00:45We will see a significantly high number of penalties
00:47Conversely, a small team, for example, will therefore play a much more home game.
00:51in his camp
00:51Bah will give away fewer penalties because their attackers will maybe be in the opponent's box 6 times.
00:55in 90 minutes
00:56Where Real Madrid would be, I don't know, 40% of the time
00:59If by pure chance you want to demonstrate that Real Madrid is favored by refereeing
01:03What needs to be done is to assemble a committee of objective people
01:05Not Real Madrid fans, but not Barcelona or Ticco fans either.
01:08I don't know anything about Burnley supporters
01:10Those guys should watch all of Real Madrid's matches.
01:12And these guys make a note every time they see an hour of arbitration in their favor
01:15of Real Madrid
01:15And an hour of refereeing decisions against Real Madrid
01:17We will do an accounting review
01:18We can do the same with the other two big clubs in La Liga
01:21And then we can have a reasonably accurate analysis of who has an advantage in La Liga and who doesn't.
01:25And finally, this is a really good way to prove that a statistic alone does not prove
01:29Nothing
01:29Whether we're talking about refereeing or even football
01:31For example, you take a somewhat isolated statistic.
01:33Well, that often doesn't mean much.
01:34With isolated stats like that, you could even make guys like Lucas Chevalier look like great goalkeepers.
