The fans may not be allowed to watch Bundesliga matches from the pitch, but this did not stop the players from doing their best and never show weakness after a nine-week hiatus.
The data collected by the Match Analysis Institute in Potsdam from the resumption of the league competition last Saturday showed that the players covered more areas and there was more power, and a longer net time to enjoy playing the ball and a few wrong passes.
Or, as Freiburg coach Christian Streetch said: "The atmosphere was very strange but the match was not. I had never thought that the features would suffer because of the lack of fans."
The coaches also decided to pay the experienced players and a few attacks and goals were recorded compared to the previous 25 rounds of the league.
12 coaches out of the 18 coaches paid more experience to the players than they did at the start of the season, most of them were Hertha Berlin. The new coach Bruno Labadia paid two players, in the match his team won against Hoffenheim 3/0, they played 500 games more than the players who were pushed by Ante Covic, Jurgen Klinsmann and Alexander Nuri, 1453 games against 900 games.
But in general there was no trend that indicates that experience is what achieves winning matches, as three other teams won after paying players experience, and three teams and three draws also lost.
Many experts feared that stopping would cause players and teams to cover less space on the field, but quite the opposite happened. The teams traveled an average of 116 km, which is the same as in previous games. Running strongly increased from 686 to 7012.
Rapid running also increased from 219 to 220. The only explanation is that the teams allowed it to make five substitutions instead of three, where coaches widely use the temporary rule, and 79 of the 90 rounds available in the previous round were made.
However, Bayer Leverkusen's Bayer Hefferts said he felt the stopping effect and said a 1/4 victory over Werder Bremen "was like a pre-season preparation match."
There were a few stops and time was short. The net time increased by more than two minutes from 55.6 to 57.7 minutes in the match. This may be due to a few errors and a complaint, and perhaps due to the absence of the masses. Less emotions may mean more football. "
The percentage of correct passes in the game increased from 830 passes to 883 passes, as the percentage of correct passes increased from 83 percent to 84.4 percent between the 61 and 75 minutes if the players are active and have a high mental focus.
"We have passed the ball well from behind, this is not the product of the 66-day rest," said Borussia Monaschengladbach player Jonas Hoffman after the 3-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
27 goals per round were less than the average season estimated by 11 29 goals, perhaps this is a coincidence, but the number of shots on the goal fell from 240 to 219, and therefore there were fewer offensive moves on goal in the minutes between 76 to the last of the game.
