Same player🟰same performance❓
A player's performance is influenced by a variety of factors. The clearest way to see this is by analyzing the same player across different contexts: different teams, different tactical roles, or even different interpretations of the same position.
🔴 At Bayern, Kane frequently drops deep to support the build-up, is heavily involved in possession, and benefits from his team creating many high-quality chances.

🔵 Currently playing for England, Kane’s interpretation of the striker position has changed. In the World Cup, he primarily sits up front with far less involvement in possession. Yet his outstanding finishing allows him to convert fewer and lower-quality chances into top ouput.
