About this listen
This episode is Part Two of our in-depth conversation with Paul Brand, continuing our performance analysis series on Strain on the Game.
After breaking down the role of a performance analyst in Part One, Paul returns to take us inside his current role at UEFA as Football Intelligence Lead — analysing Champions League and European competition matches, supporting elite technical observers, and shaping coach education across Europe.
In this episode, we explore:
What Paul’s role at UEFA really involves on a matchday
How analysts support live decisions like Player of the Match
The behind-the-scenes process of producing UEFA tactical articles
How elite insights are translated for coaches at every level
Tactical trends emerging in the Champions League
The fine margins behind half-time tactical interventions
Life after the Premier League and adapting to a new football environment
Whether you’re a coach, analyst, player, or fan fascinated by the tactical and analytical side of football, this episode offers a rare look into how the modern game is analysed, interpreted, and taught at the highest level.
