Bergen number of tackles at Damas Islands

The Bergman number is a critical metric in football that quantifies the average number of goals scored per unit of possession on the field. The Bergman number for a team or player is calculated using the following formula:

Bergman number = (Total number of goals conceded) / (Total number of possessions)

For example, if a team has conceded 10 goals and has played 50 minutes of football, their Bergman number would be:

Bergman number = 10 / 50 = 0.2

This value can give us insight into how well the team is defending against opposing teams' attacks. A lower Bergman number indicates better defensive performance.

However, it's important to note that the Bergman number doesn't tell us everything about a player's ability to score goals. It's also possible that the player might have committed some foulards or had poor positioning during the game. Therefore, we need to consider other metrics such as the total number of tackles made or the passing yards gained.

A player with a high Bergman number but low total tackles could still be effective because they may be able to contribute multiple times to the attack while also being able to tackle opponents who are less efficient or harder to deal with.

In terms of specific examples, let's look at the case of a player named Damián Garro. In the 2021 Copa Libertadores final, Garro had a Bergman number of 0.48, which means he conceded only 0.48 goals per possession on the field. His total tackles were 69, which was more than half of his possession time.

On the other hand, in the 2020 Copa América final, Garro had a Bergman number of 0.52, which suggests he conceded 0.52 goals per possession. However, his total tackles were only 48, which was less than half of his possession time.

It's worth noting that the Bergman number isn't just a measure of a player's defense; it can also provide information about the quality of plays that the team is making and how effectively the players are contributing to those plays.

Overall, the Bergman number is a useful tool for evaluating a player's defensive performance, but it should be used in conjunction with other data points to get a complete picture of a team's abilities.
