Playing style

How Alexander Matthias Blessin's teams play vs league-season peers (2016+)

Descriptive — how a coach's teams play, not how good they are.

Career average

One shape blending all 4 clubs (2016+).

The baseline — each polygon on the right shows how one club's style deviates from this.

balanced profile

+0.25style consistency across 4 clubs

More consistent than 59% of multi-club coaches.

A high score means the same playing style travels from club to club — well above the random-coach baseline (-0.01), so it's a signature, not the squads.
