This is awesome. Where does the raw data come from? I'm curious how they collect such detailed data (e.g. is there someone tracking every time a specific player takes a certain action?).
There are some companies working in this space, like Opta and Statsbomb. As far as I know, they both use a mix of image processing and humans to collect the data.
It takes a lot of work, but also supports a huge and growing industry. E.g. data scouting is increasingly used by clubs to increase the pool of potential hires.
