Summer break, summer slump? Not for those believing in numbers, not for all you analysts out there, not for fans truly following the beautiful game. Who has fired off the most shots, who scored the most? We look at the 2012/13 season of the German team and ask all the tough questions. Who ran the most and who was the fastest? Each day, we'll reveal another revealing number on team.dfb.de. Today: the crosses.
Mountains have 'em, humans do too, their aim can be straight and banana-shaped: the crosses. Even though Manfred Kaltz and Horst Hrubesch did retire their cleats a few years ago, the cross-ball never ran out off fashion. Throughout last season, Germany played 181 crosses. Just one player topped Philipp Lahm, notably a defender. 26 times, Lahm chose to conclude his attack with a cross-ball. Thomas Müller totalled 29 crosses, while Marco Reus finished third with 17 crosses.
