According to the exhibit below, the best soccer player in the final match of the Gold Cup between Mexico-USA, played on Saturday, June 25, was Landon Donovan, followed pretty closely by Michael Bradley and Carlos Bocanegra. In fact, we can distinguish two different groups; those who obtained a score above 100, and those who were below. Another way to look at it is to relate them to average. As we can see, only the first 5 player are above it (123). It is, therefore, very difficult to win a final match or any competition having more players below the mean than those above it, when a team is formed by at least 11 excellent players. These values are obtained by a methodology developed by Sergio Ramos Osorio, that quantifies every participation of a soccer player in a play. Their participation can be good, very good or excellent or its negative counterpart. Each of these qualitative evaluations receives a quantitative value, summing up to obtain a total score for each player.
These values are used as an indicator to the coach or team owners to make the necessary changes in order to increase
competitiveness; then, these same values are transformed into financial statements, obtaining a cost-benefit relationship and, as in any other asset, a net return.

Oh! Very very good evaluation. El método de evaluación me pareció muy accesible y entendible para cualquier Directivo que desee evaluar a su equipo, Sólo falta que llegue a las manos indicadas para que
cobren los que realmente saben y salgan a cuadro los de más alta puntuación.
Sugerencia: envíale un ejemplar (del Libro) a la Universidad del Foot Bol, estoy segura que les va a ser de gran utilidad.
