Reconstruct the moment: Player POV

Video shows a keeper what happened. A reconstruction shows them what it looked like from where they stood, and that is usually the real coaching point. The goal that looks saveable from the grandstand often isn't once you see the screen, the late sight of the ball and the striker arriving off the blind shoulder from the keeper's own position.

• Reconstructions need Veo's positional tracking on the match. Plenty of matches have video but no tracking, half-pitch JDL recordings especially, and one keeper's season usually has both.
• The test is simple: if there's no camera switcher above the video, the match has no tracking. Untracked moments still play as video; they just can't be rebuilt.
• Check for the switcher on that match before you promise a keeper a POV replay.

Open a keeper from Goalkeepers and pick a moment from their list. Analyse goalkeepers on video covers finding one. On a tracked match, four cameras appear above the video:

• Video, the real footage.
• Player POV, a first-person reconstruction from a player's eyes.
• Aerial, a raised camera behind play.
• Overhead, a flat top-down view of every tracked player.

Picking a camera starts the moment playing in that view.

Player POV is the one that changes conversations. It opens on your keeper's eyes, and it ends the "why didn't you just come for it" discussion, because now everyone is standing in goal.

When more than one of your players is tracked in the moment, a menu with the current player's name appears (its label is Whose point of view). Switch to your centre-back's view of the same moment and ask the keeper what the centre-back needed to hear from them. The list is your own team only, and it goes back to the keeper each time you open a new moment or match.

Aerial is the camera angle nobody filmed: behind and above play, good for judging depth and angles together.

Overhead is the whiteboard. Every tracked player is a numbered disc: your team in blue, the opposition in red, keepers with a yellow ring, and the ball in white. It's the view for structure: the line the defence held, the space behind it, where your keeper started when the ball turned over.

Two tools sit over these views:

• Zones is on from the start, on both Aerial and Overhead. It draws the pitch's vertical channels (wings, half-spaces and centre, split at the width of the box and the six-yard box) and carries both 18-yard lines across the pitch, so a keeper's starting depth reads against something fixed.
• Trails is Overhead only. Tap players to select them; lines join them with the distance in metres, and with Trails on each selected player draws their last 20 seconds of movement. That answers "was he moving early or reacting late" at a glance. Clear removes the selection.

• Tracking decides everything. Player POV, Aerial, Overhead, Zones and Trails all come from it. The roster's Matches column shows, for example, 4 tracked when only some of a keeper's matches have it.
• Reconstructions are estimates. They're built from tracking data: accurate enough for a positioning conversation, not frame-perfect.
• This is for your own review. To put a reconstruction in front of the cohort with a freeze-frame and a question, add the clip to a presentation and set Show as; Analyse goalkeepers on video covers freeze slides. In a presentation the player list also has an Opposition tab, for a striker's view of the same moment.

• Reviews of goals conceded start from Player POV, not the grandstand angle.
• You know which of the season's matches have tracking before you promise a reconstruction.
• Positioning conversations happen over Overhead with Zones on, so everyone is looking at the same picture.
