After a little bit of a wait, adidas have revealed their first round of professional data captured by their revolutionary Speed_Cell on board their adidas miCoach F50‘s, with Dani Alves the first to have his statistics made public.

Widely regarded as one of the best full-backs in the world, Brazilian Alves becomes the first professional player to have the data captured by his football boots made available on adidas’ miCoach platform.

Captured during Barcelona’s 2-2 draw in the Copa del Rey with arch-rivals Real Madrid, Alves data is online as of today – allowing fellow miCoach users to compare metrics like top speed and distance covered across 90 minutes, and more static football fans to check out the effort put in by a top professional in 90 minutes.

An interactive version of the data is also available on the miCoach website.

– Dani’s maximum speed was a 29.25 km/h – an impressive speed against formidable opposition.

– He reached his red sprint zone 48 times during the 90 minutes.

-The intensity breakdown shows that Dani’s hi-intensity distance of 1,228 m – the distance he covered in the yellow and red zones – was as often in his red zone as his yellow zone. This demonstrates that his change of pace and 90-minute stamina are potent weapons on the right-hand side for his team.

– It also shows that Dani is always on the move and causing problems for the opponents’ left wing, racking up a distance of 8.964km during the match.
