When it comes to vision and decision making, Martin Odegaard is one of the best players in the world. He sees a pass before others and knows exactly what he's going to do with the ball before he receives it.
What's his secret: Scanning
We watched Odegaard for the entire Arsenal game v Fulham counting every single scan. This is what we found...

It makes sense that he's more of a scan king than Messi. Dude is from Scandinavia
😅😅😅😅
Lol
How does it makes any sense? Enlighten me.

This is incredible, the analysis is superb
Thank you bro 💙
There was a cool moment at 4:34 where Odegaard and Partey had a synced scan. Unreal stuff.
Woah, noticed it too
actually his teammates on both sides of him appear to be scanning
Odegaard and Partey had a synced scan. Unreal stuff???
2 team mates looked at each other on a football pitch - Wow!!
@@hanx3560 LMAO

Without a doubt the best extended commercial I've ever seen. Very well done. Wonderful analysis.
Very interesting. Scanning isn't normally a quality we look at when judging a player. Great video. Sub'd.
I’d counter with the point that it is, especially within players in the middle the pitch…I think it’s a trait that more and more people are beginning to realize is integral to a quality baller
Scanning anticipation and body positioning are the most important qualities required from an intelligent world class player.
That's how players like Xavi went unnoticed for years and still remain underrated despite winning 2 Euros and a WC in 4 years as the brains of his national team and club. Average person is pretty dumb, half the population is even dumber than that. That's who is judging footballers.
@@RiceBowl0 Maybe to fans who haven't played??? Scanning is really basic stuff taught at an early age.
@@RiceBowl0 Everyone knows it's integral. Pros just do it without thinking, based purely on instinct. They probably don't even realise how important it is to them.
No one was better than Xavi when it came to scanning. His head was on a swivel!
john terry was better at scanning than xavi. not with the ball tho but with his teammates wife
@@rouen1111 Courtois too
@@rouen1111 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t forget icardi, he’s smooth😂
pirlo as well
Anyone who enjoyed this video go and watch the highlights for Brighton vs arsenal this season to see the best example of odegaard doing this for his assist for martinellis goal. The execution and technique of the pass is amazing but if you slow the video down to 0.25x he scans once before xhaka even passes and then two critical scans to see if martinellis on the same page as him. It’s just phenomenal to look up twice as the balls travelling to you all whist adjusting your body to meet the ball perfectly for the perfect pass. As soon i started watching this video It reminded of that assist cos it’s such a good example of it from odegaard. Great video!!
You opened a door I didn't know existed. Plus, impressive writing and narration to show your analysis
This is a commercial for a reason 😂
Scanning by itself isn't a trait that can be measured by volume alone. The ability to track players in their mind, overall vision and understanding of the game all comes into play when understanding why and when a player Scans. Some players will scan loads and won't see much, some others will scan a couple times and be able to get enough info depending on what they're looking to do once they get the ball.
Yep. Messi doesn’t need to scan much to see the whole picture. For Xavi, I think it’s just an obsession on his part.
What a special player, controls the tempo of the game like Ozil
This guy is just class. Saka is doing great for Arsenal right now, but this guy is my favorite player to watch.
This is the first time I've seen an analysis about scanning this is great content
This is why Odegaard is my favorite player on this arsenal team. His vision is just so good.
Absolutely fascinating. I'm suddenly a much smarter football fan, thanks to the video.
So that's where the 'meta-vision' in blue lock came from...
This is the perfect video to show my players. I preach about Scanning every training session and this video perfectly sums up scanning. Top Suff
Great video
Nobody really talks about things like this
But yet they are so important
Amazingly good analysis. Thank you for sharing!
Great video!! Thanks!! And Martin is insaneeeeeee ❤
holycrap this video criminally underrated. needs massive views
Wow, next level of analysis
Amazing content! I coach a few youth elite players and even in their academies the ignorance for scanning is huge. If i watch a jupiler pro league game, highest level in Belgium, i see a very few amount of players who scan for awareness. There is so much room for improvement and should be added at the basic principles of football.
VR Training, wow times have really changed
Love this video. I love how you talked about WHEN TO SCAN because not a lot of people know when. I didn’t know when until now. Do more helpful videos like this.
Ödegaard may be good a scanning but the way you switch the letter "L" with "R" is the highlight of this video.
Brilliant stuff mate!! 🎉
Great video! Learned a lot from it.
thank you for this incredible analysis
THATS CRAZY!
of him, but your analysis is superb too!
Thanks for this analysis. As a midfielder I needed to get that type of advice so I'm able to improve my game. Thanks alot
Scanning, composure, and tactical awareness are the difference makers between young academy players and professional footballers.
Isagi would be proud
This channel helped me with my game a lot. Scanning and Receiving 10x your performance
As a brazillian who grew up playing football 24/7 i feel really mad that we only have this kind of advanced football knowledge content online right now, in my turn we had none of this, i use to just play for fun with my friends all day long, rather to focus on improving and etc, i feel that i could have been so much better then i was ( bcz i was good just playing for fun ), my basic idea about football was dribbling and scoring ( mostly dribbling ). I remember that my friends were always mad at me for not defending and not passing the ball.
I make him one of the best midfielders in the world now. Without him Arsenal would be fighting Man Utd and Liverpool for a Champions league place, or leeds and West Ham to stay out of relegation.
there are levels to this game. This was a nice presentation
Btw, the double A in the name Ødegaard is pronounced the same way as in “war”⚔️ 😉
Increeeeeedible video so many players can benefit from this
Magnificent job.
Scanning is something all footballers do passively, basic instinct for anyone who plays the sport. Knowing when to scan is the key part.
Ødegaard has trained this very consistently and specifically with his father (who's a coach in the Norwegian league) from a very young age
True. When Martin was 15 and Real was in for him. A newspaper asked his father what made him so good. The father did not use the word «scan» but described several exercises they did from when he was young to get a updated picture of the field before recieving the ball
This is really, really good. That said, I would encourage you to caveat comparisons. Tough comparing any two players as it's always relative to so many things. Is the opponent playing against a team sitting in? Is the player man marked? Even the conditions dictate this to some extent (the hotter it is the tempo will drop off and everyone typically has more time and space). Ultimately, in order to scan the frequency is typically dictated by time and space (as well as ability). So even analyzing Odegaard in one game compared to another could see a swing in results.
That all said, again, this is fantastic and really glad to see you provide this so both players and coaches alike get some sense of the importance of scanning. Great job here.
really interesting.
Growing up playing football in the 90s "scannning" wasn't a word anyone used. interesting to see this being brought forward.
Never heard before. As a sports person, I should include this scan technique to my game.
Great analysis. Ødegaard also has a very good VR belly.
Thank you for highlighting critical scan technique, will include in my game
Fantastic video. Another thing to add to coaching my sons Under 7s team 😅
brilliant one mate ❤
I didn't even know this was really that big of a thing or at least as high a frequency. I guess it makes sense cause we do it when we drive.
Pirlo was the king of scans, one scan and first touch 60 yards passes...
wow.. I just watch the game without knowing all those tiny details! Just wow!
damn i wish i had your videos when i was younger
This would have been eye opening if I hadn't just watched the KDB documentary about scanning lol!! Odegaard ain't bad though.
Wow great insight!

More like this please
I wish someone taught me about scanning when I was younger. My game improved so much when I learned about it in my 20s
Best football video seen in a long time.
Man has meta vision
I want to make a point sometimes player have insane visualisation like Messi hence doesn't need to perform critical scan every time because he was watching before hand only
wow... insane work by you guys
Awesome vid. Wonder what Thomas Partey’s numbers look like. I feel like he has great spatial awareness.
would love to know Messi's scan percentage when playing centrally. i think it's reasonable for the rate to be a lot lower when playing at RW
He doesn’t really stick to the flank he’s not a real rw
His scan rate was 100%
At PSG it’s prolly a negative number
Messi doesn't scan as much because he's confident in his reactive dribbling. His supreme dribbling ability does two things for him -- first, it keeps him from being dispossessed despite not scanning for potential tacklers, second, it encourages him to take the ball forward himself, which _then_ leads to critical pass opportunities by creating space for a teammate to make a run.
@@CognizantCheddar This!
If your first priority as a center mid is to not be dispossessed, obviously it pays off to be obsessive about pre-touch scanning.
Love thus video mate .... discover it bh accident too
I struggle to do this in games .. will practice it more now
Ok, subbed. Found this in r/Gunners. Pretty impressed!
Maaad insights 👏
You guys need to find a way to make the vr handles work on the feet to make it more enjoyable and also like a game. You'd probably make more sales.
One thing that isn't mentioned in this video, which is critical to his scanning ability, is VR. Ødegaard trains with a Virtual Reality headset for hours a day, just to develop these kinds of skills. Not only has his scanning ability improved, but also his ability to anticipate passes and runs as well as improving his aim and so forth.
didn't finish the video, did you?
We’re the company who makes the VR software 😂
@@Qfreihat That is really weird. If I were to make a bet, I would swear that I did. If I didn't just rewatch the ending, I wouldn't believe you. I did donate blood yesterday, so I may have been lightheaded and delusional. Either that or I live in a VR world. Oh, well. The joke is on me I guess. Such is life.
@@beyourbestpro That is kinda funny to be honest, even though the joke is on me. See my above comment for clarification. 😅
Playing with your eyes focused on your teammates is one the most difficult thing in football
This is really impressive
Great System; cutting edge!❤
As You spoke about pass accuracy I've got a freaky stat for You.
In the World Cup Final Angel DiMaria had a 96.3% pass Accuracy! Unbelievable!!❤🇬🇾😎
Yeah if you watch ao ashi they also explained scanning on football, that experiment on xavi too
this video is amazing, wow
this is art
You know this is a great video when Odegaard himself has seen it
great content
Appreciate it 🙏
That is SCANDALOUS!
Little things like this most dont see. I knew he did it a lot but didn't realise just how much.
Great work m8
From where do you get the data ?
btw messi needs less critical scans because he always knows opponents positions because he runs less & always keeps himself updated that's why most of the time when he is receiving the ball he don't need critical scanning like others, he only does that when he feels like info that is in his head needs to be updated.
That’s my Captain ❤
❤ this guy
So this is the idea of scanning used by Ashito in Ao Ashi.
I wonder how many times Bruno scans ...man just loves Hollywood passes
Nice video!
Maguire needs to watch this video
Maguire could learn from this, bro never scans
INSANE!!!
Bro censored the nutmeg 😭😭💀
Any gunners in the comments to discuss the tactical significance of this? Over the last couple of games where we have struggled, I personally found that martin ended up taking a lot of touches, spending a lot of time on the ball, and not really progressing play very effectively. Based on this analysis, it seems like he is undergoing a bit of an evolution - he's playing lately as a tempo controlling passer and using his dribbling and runs as a second option, leaving his impact lacking in very static games. This is making me think that his role as the right side 8 is a bit wasted, because the rest of our offensive players are left side leaning. All he has is Saka, and if he prefers releasing the ball early, all the opponent has to do is block one fwd passing lane. Meanwhile on the left, you hav gabby, and jesus (and probably zinny wandering around) as an outlet for the right side 8 (usually xhaka). It feels like Odegaard is a fundamentally central player who ends up playing in the right half space because the system and his own workrate makes it barely possible. Any thoughts?
This is making me think I want all our runners within short-passing range of him all the time! Give him as many options as possible to hit. This scanning is not something that is easy to teach - not to mention he is able to reach the crucial players that he locates with his scan more often than not (and he can even make the run himself if our runners drag the defense with them). It's up to the system to give this talent the opportunity to shine.
I don't think there is much to do about this, and probably we shouldn't either. I want to mention that White (and sometimes even Partey) is often combining with Saka and Ödegaard, but I agree that they look quite isolated on the right. I think it all comes down to how our opponents set up defensively. In the Newcastle game we got a first glimpse of it and from the Everton defeat and onwards most teams have been staying very low, compact and slightly tilted to our right once we get the ball to about half way up the offensive half right flank, all in order to limit the workspace for 7 and 8. This is one of the key elements that enabled Trossard's assist hat-trick. With this distribution of about 3 players on the right and 4 on the left we have equal threat on both sides when in possession.
In my view the only time Martin can have many threatening passing options is before opponents have the chance to return to their box. When he gets the ball slightly beyond the center line is where I think he shines the most and where the subject of this video is most convinient. Thats why I like when he gets to press the centre backs so he can get in position quickly once we gain possession. No doubt the best player in the league this season is Norwegian, but its a close call wether he wears red or blue.
@@Kalliniho that's a fair point and I think we agree they if defensive opponents set up with a focus on one side, it opens up chances on the other. I just have this dream of a system where we get partey and martin in perfect balance through the middle and a combo of an unstoppable dribbler and a tricky line breaking operator on each side. I think trossard and martinelli on the left are everything I could hope for. Maybe trossard moves over to give that option for saka and esr takes over that role for Gabby? As you said, our fortunes seem to have shifted from right to left recently and i feel like it's only a matter of time until defensive teams adapt. Is there a world in which we find the perfect balance or is it a matter of switching things up off the bench to catch opponents off guard...
I don’t understand your analysis at all honestly. Very static games? All our games are static. We play for possession and most teams play low block against us. Recycling the ball until a chance presents itself is our most fundemental game plan. Ødegaard is the main creative point of this setup down the right, either dragging players away from Saka or playing the necessary supportive passes or the final through ball. We don’t have the rotational option on the right as we have on the left, where the striker switches with left wing and vice versa. This is why Xhaka is not dallying as much on the ball as Ødegaard, because we have more players on the left. Zinny also comes in to middle from the left while White stays much wider and also further back. Ødegaard therefore has a lot less support, but with his phenomenal passing foot, press resistance and ability to switch it over to the left, he doesn’t need that many options close to him. He’s also a great defensive attribute in our first press, which you can definitely see we are missing when Vieira is playing that position. I don’t get what you are trying to suggest saying that his position on the pitch is made “barely possible” by the system and his work rate. Barely doesn’t get you top of the league at the end of March.
If you've noticed, most of our creativity on the left actually comes from Zinchenko, and the one doing the "wandering around" is Xhaka. Essentially, both Zinny and Ødegaard have very similar playmaking styles, the only difference is that one comes from deep midfield while the other comes from the half spaces. I'll elaborate this further if you want me to.
Also, Arteta's tactics during his first few months as Arsenal manager will give you a reason or two as to why your idea of a central 10 would possibly not work. The general idea is that Arsenal would start games with Özil as the central 10, but somehow, Özil would end up in the right half space during the attacking phase. If he were to stay central, not only would you lose a player in a crucial attacking position, but you'd also leave yourself vulnerable to counters.
The thing is that a central 10 simply doesn't exist in today's game, honestly I can't name a team who plays such a system anymore.
Do a scan on a sunday league pitch 😂😂😂
"The players who scan a lot are more likely to make successful forward passes." That explains why Odegaard's teammate Elneny only passes backwards- because he never checks his surroundings.
playing in spain and being taught your game in spain provides this skill.
It appears you count head scans by head movement. What about what the eyes are doing? I believe some data may be missing there
Ppl think hes ghosting whole times he's waiting for the right moment.
Messi is so good at scanning that he doesn't need to scan he can imagine what is going on without looking
No he can't 😅
Ohh my god i dont know what to say thanks for this video
Hahaha you’re welcome 😆
I would really like if you could feature other players like Ozil, Zidane and Pirlo.
I so more vedios on CZcams pass there and show love by subscribing
scanning speed is the biggest asset of any midfield player.
Insane
