전체적인 해석을 하지 않더라도 그림만으로도 그 특징이 너무 잘 나타나 있습니다.
빌드업이나 빠른템포를 이끌어내는 팀과 지속적인 위협을 가하는 팀 더불어 볼 점유율을 유지하고
수비지향적인지 자정 능력과 카운터 어택이 능한지 등을 보면 확실히 팀의 색깔이 분명해지는것이 보일것입니다.

참고가 되시길 바랍니다.


Everyone's a tactical expert these days – but the good folks at STATS can genuinely analyse players and teams unlike anybody else. 

A lot of data tracking in football is static – that is, it doesn't necessarily evaluate movement, which is obviously quite important when it comes to making reasonable conclusions about tactics. 


STATS measure data in 10 key areas: Maintenance, Build Up, Sustained Threat, Fast Tempo, Direct Play, Counter Attack, Crossing, High Press, Offensiveness and Possession. Together they help paint an accurate picture of any team's style. (Note: percentage points are relative to last season's Premier League averages.) 


Fancy indeed – but more interestingly for you, here's how it actually applied to the Premier League big boys last season.

Arsenal

According to STATS data, Arsenal had the most Fast Tempo possessions in the Premier League last season (i.e. they played twice as quickly as the top-flight average). Unsurprisingly, they predominantly control possession in the opposition half with Build Up and a high level of Sustained Threat phases, while the Gunners are around the top-flight average for Maintenance – which implies they don’t look to control possession in the defensive half.  

In a nutshell, here's the proof that it's all about control for Arsene Wenger, with little emphasis on a high press (unlike some of the clubs below). 

Chelsea

No club in the Premier League achieves Sustained Threat like Chelsea do – the Blues were ranked No.1 for it last season, indicating their dominance in the final third. They were also top for Counter Attacking, which in turn means they're below the Premier League average for Direct Play (ranked 18th). Instead of attempting lots of long passes, they prefer to play up the pitch or on the break.

Everton

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/everton_stats.jpg?itok=15mUrcPn

Everton are close to representing the Premier League average for possession-based styles, and are ranked No.9 for Maintenance, Build Up and Sustained Threat.

The Toffees' Offensiveness value is the lowest of the top seven, and it'll be interesting to see how these values change with the signings that Ronald Koeman has made this summer. In this respect, a lot rests on Davy Klaassen's shoulders. 

Liverpool

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/liverpool_stats.jpg?itok=MYqlTurJ

You already knew that Jurgen Klopp likes his players to run a bit – but here's the stone cold evidence. Liverpool were ranked No.1 for the High Press last year, slightly ahead of Manchester City but a surprising 8% clear of Tottenham.

The Reds are 6% below the Premier League average for Counter Attacks, however, implying they like to transition upfield through Maintenance, Build Up and Sustained Threat areas. Translated: they get the ball in the build-up zone and move it quickly. In his second full season, Klopp will be be hoping his methods are rewarded by consistent results.

Manchester City

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/man_city_stats.jpg?itok=GKqEzFz5

Pep Guardiola's aim is fairly clear: dominate play until opposition sides are squealing out safewords. Manchester City bragged the highest amounts of Maintenance and Build Up possessions in the Premier League last season, as they aimed to quickly move into the attacking half.

Guardiola's men were ranked No.2 for Counter Attacking too, helped by having arguably the Premier League's best player for that particular job in Kevin De Bruyne. With a fresh set of full-backs and Gabriel Jesus in for his first full campaign, what on earth might they be capable of in 2017/18?   

Manchester United

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/man_united_stats.jpg?itok=SE2vY5dE

Believe it or not, Manchester United were ranked second for Fast Tempo play last season (cover your eyes, Louis, you didn't work on all those dossiers for this). United were also the second-highest-ranked team in the top seven for Direct Play (behind Everton), but really we're just going to blame Marouane Fellaini cameos for that – their game is more about building play and keeping control.

Under Jose Mourinho's tenure the Reds were ranked in the league's top five for Maintenance, Build Up and Sustained Threat. It's all quite balanced for Jose's mob.

Tottenham

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/spurs_stats.jpg?itok=RB0r36iV

Let's just say Mauricio Pochettino isn't keen on kicking it long – only one team ranked below Spurs for Direct Play in the Premier League in 2016/17. The Argentine does like his High Press, mind. Spurs use it far more than the average Premier League side: the fourth-most of any team, in fact. 

Tottenham are above the division average for Build Up and Sustained Threat, but they're ranked sixth out of the top seven (above Everton again; poor Everton) for these playing styles. Are they a little less attacking than everyone thinks?

Every Premier League club's biggest strength and weakness in 2017/18

Arsenal

Strength: Probably the variety of options in attacking midfield. The anchoring position remains a little problematic, with nobody really sure whether Francis Coquelin is quite good enough to fill it, but further forward the range is deep and useful.

Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are the headliners, but Arsene Wenger can deploy any of Alex Iwobi, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to contrasting effect, with Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey also capable of moonlighting in similar areas. The emergence of 17-year-old Reiss Nelson is also intriguing, although probably not quite relevant to the season ahead.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/arsenal_41.jpg?itok=9_a84og8

Reiss Nelson: the teenager is one to watch

Weakness: Defensive stability. Arsenal’s pre-season has been full of experimentation. As recently as the Emirates Cup at the end of July, Arsene Wenger was still trialing a back-three system which employed Mohamed Elneny at its centre. It looked fashionable, it proved that Wenger is open to change, but it didn’t necessarily work. Shkodran Mustafi is still unavailable, so that perhaps confuses the issue, but the lack of a definitive pairing (or trio) so close to the season is a worry.

Bournemouth

Strength: Their forwards. Eddie Howe was accused of overpaying for Jermain Defoe but, while the reported salary and signing-on figures were startling for a player in his mid-30s, he does now have a broad range of abilities at the top of the pitch.

Josh King may not be a pure forward, but he provides many of the same functions; Benik Afobe brings a more traditional, physical threat; while Callum Wilson, though probably now third or fourth choice, is an underrated finisher. Adding Defoe obviously came at a price, but his arrival has Bournemouth looking far more dexterous.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/bourne_0.jpg?itok=u2twavpM

Josh King scored 16 in 36 matches for Bournemouth last season

Weakness: Still the defence. Versatile 22-year-old Nathan Ake and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic have arrived and will help, but the suspicion remains that Bournemouth’s players at the back just aren’t quite good enough. They’ve adapted to their new environment well enough to stay in the division, but they routinely look outmatched against the better sides.

Burnley

Strength: Their home form. Fortress Turf Moor became a bit of myth at the end of last season: Burnley have only won three Premier League games at home in 2017. Nevertheless, lovely traditional ground (with splendid views) though it may be, most teams don’t seem to enjoy their visit.

Admittedly, it’s only a relative strength. Burnley’s home form is good and important because their away performances - not just last year, but in their entire Premier League history - have been dreadful. If they're to see a third Premier League season in succession, their survival efforts will again have to begin at Turf Moor.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/burn.jpg?itok=6kkE1l7f

Sam Vokes applauds the fans who help make Turf Moor a relative fortress

Weakness: Midfielder Jack Cork has arrived from Swansea, but he’s not a signing which solves Sean Dyche’s biggest issue: his team don’t create enough chances. In fact, if their ‘possession, possession, move the ball wide’ method doesn’t succeed, they don’t seem to have an alternative approach.

Brighton

Strength: Individual quality, the type which wins Premier League points, is going to be an issue. Newly promoted teams have survived because of their cohesion before, but Anthony Knockaert will have to produce an excellent season if Brighton are to survive.

The good news is that he’s equipped for the challenge. A delicate but driven player with the ball at his feet, he’s capable of making the sort of impact that Riyad Mahrez did when he emerged from the Football League. It didn't work out for Knockaert with Leicester in 2014/15, but he's come on tremendously since then. 

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/brighton1.jpg?itok=sCYO7k0D

Anthony Knockaert has plenty of potential

Weakness: Goals. Where are they coming from? Glenn Murray scored 23 times last season and was front and centre of Brighton’s promotion push. On past evidence, he won’t come close to that number at the level above.

Chelsea

Strength: Antonio Conte’s iron-clad structure. Chelsea are not a flair team. They may possess players capable of picking locks and pirouetting through gaps, but that’s the velvet glove around their iron fist.

Last season, their success - after the B.C./A.D. crossover at the Emirates - was predicated on locking opponents in their own half for long periods and controlling the centre of the pitch. They stretch the field with their aggressive wing-backs and when defences spread themselves to meet that threat, Conte has the attacking players to exploit the gaps. They won the title last season because they were, by far, the most stable and well-coached team in the division and nobody should expect that to change.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/chelsea_25.jpg?itok=Y_QKqLgR

Chelsea were the best-coached team in the league last season

Weakness: No matter what anybody thinks about Diego Costa, Chelsea will certainly lose something with his departure. The goals and the combinations with Eden Hazard and Pedro will be an obvious miss, but so too his attitude. Costa is a snarling beast of a forward and Alvaro Morata isn’t in any way comparable.

That isn’t to say that he’s an inferior player - in fact, despite what we saw at the Community Shield, he might be a better finisher - but the change and subsequent disruption to the chemistry will be something which has to be overcome.

Crystal Palace

Strength: Their attacking trident. Somewhere between Tony Pulis, Neil Warnock and Alan Pardew, Palace became one of the most lopsided teams in the division. An ageing, porous defence was gradually masked by one of the more talented offensive trios in the country. Yes, there are imperfections to Wilfried Zaha, Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend – and perhaps they are overly suited to a counter-attacking approach – but they possess enough collective ability to be a problem for most defences.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/crystal_palace1.jpg?itok=u6vdUZaB

Christian Benteke's strength is, well, a strength

Weakness: Steve Mandanda’s Premier League career was short and baffling - and he’s now returned to France having played just nine games. It leaves Wayne Hennessey as Frank de Boer’s first-choice goalkeeper by default, which is a situation that must be remedied before the transfer window shuts.

Everton

Strength: Midfield. Looking back over Ronald Koeman’s managerial career, it’s evident that he prioritises the centre of the pitch. His teams typically protect their defence well and, though not necessarily particularly expressive, quickly become difficult to beat by frothing the middle-third waters.

Adding Netherlands international Davy Klaassen to a unit which already includes James McCarthy, Tom Davies, Morgan Schneiderlin – plus the returning Muhamed Besic – only serves to improve an already strong area.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/everton1.jpg?itok=cu8WS6AU

Davy Klaassen just adds to Everton's midfield options

Weakness: Wayne Rooney. Not because he’s a bad player, but because the attention he’ll draw will become draining extremely quickly. Rooney is well past his best, but remains a national point of interest; Koeman will be batting away questions about his ‘best role’ by the middle of September. It’s a deserved victory lap for the player and a nice story, but it’s a poor transfer which will serve little real purpose.

Huddersfield

Strength: A new partnership in midfield. Aaron Mooy was important to David Wagner last season, and so his permanent signing has been good business. It’s also interesting to note the club’s pursuit and capture of American midfielder Danny Williams from Reading. Williams was outstanding in the Championship play-off final, tracking the ball relentlessly. He will prove a valuable asset in the Premier League.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/hudd1.jpg?itok=Hi7pcDX0

Aaron Mooy (left) and Danny Williams (right) could be a key pairing for Huddersfield

Weakness: Goals are a problem here, too. Elias Kachunga looks a fine player, but is more of a winger than an outright forward, while Nahki Wells is (revealingly) available for transfer. Steve Mounie has joined from Montpellier and Laurent Depoitre has been rescued from Porto, so Wagner certainly acknowledges the weakness and has tried to fix it. Both players will need to transition smoothly if Huddersfield are to put enough points on the board to stay up.

Leicester

Strength: It should be the Jamie Vardy/Riyad Mahrez partnership, but the latter is expected to leave before the new season begins. Elsewhere, though, Leicester’s midfield looks strong.

Danny Drinkwater is subject of reported interest from Chelsea but should stay, while Wilfred Ndidi is one of the most talented young players in the division and should be recognised as such before the season’s over. Vicente Iborra has also been added from Sevilla, bringing some much-needed depth to the position.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/leics.jpg?itok=zD5OD3Wf

Wilfred Ndidi is 20 years old and improving

Weakness: The full-backs aren’t convincing. Harry Maguire has been signed and will bolster options beyond a creaking centre-back pairing, but Danny Simpson could be improved upon in an attacking sense and Christian Fuchs is now the wrong side of 30. The 20-year-old Ben Chilwell, one of England’s standouts in the European U21 Championship, has a chance of dislodging Fuchs before much longer.

Liverpool

Strength: It’s hard not to like the Mohamed Salah deal. He’s not the kind of player who delivers titles or trophies on his own, but his arrival doubles Liverpool’s supply of the attributes that previously only Sadio Mane provided. Jurgen Klopp needs those qualities, his team looked desperately blunt without them, and so Salah’s arrival will protect their attacking rhythm.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/liverpool1_0.jpg?itok=Wh5jp9M2

Mane and Salah offer pace, movement and attacking dynamism

Weakness: Seasons come and seasons go, but Liverpool never remedy their goalkeeping problem. Not to be unkind, but how many times must they learn this lesson before they address it?

Manchester City

Strength: Surely the forward line. Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne, Silva (David), Silva (Bernardo), Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane. If Pep Guardiola can’t build a title-winning side from that attack, with the additional strengthening at full-back, he will inarguably have failed.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/man_citeh.jpg?itok=_WPF2aMg

Sergio Aguero is just one of City's numerous attacking options

Weakness: Doubts remain about the constitution of their midfield, and new goalkeeper Ederson’s true value. City may be intimidatingly strong, but they’re not without their gaps - and, amazingly, they will start the season still being slightly dependent on Yaya Toure and his 34-year-old legs.

Manchester United

Strength: Their attacking variation. Wayne Rooney has been jettisoned, but Jose Mourinho has a wealth of options at the top of the pitch. Romelu Lukaku has joined, of course, and will compete with Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford for the centre-forward role. Behind that frontline, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata offer two contrasting forms of creation. The combinations aren’t quite endless, but that group should provide a solution to most problems.

And they’ll have to: even with Zlatan Ibrahimovic available to them for most of last season, United scored just 54 league goals - one fewer than Bournemouth. Given the level of investment, that should be a source of acute embarrassment for Mourinho.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/lukaku_15.jpg?itok=gU7rROC8

Lukaku should bring goals - but can he fill Zlatan's boots?

Weakness: Maybe the manager? Not tactically, of course, but Mourinho spent most of last season tripping over his own feet. His habit of castigating players in public and picking fights with rival managers, referees and the press seems to create more problems than he’s capable of solving.

The League Cup and Europa League were nice distractions, but Mourinho has brought a level of belligerence to Old Trafford which doesn’t seem sustainable.

Newcastle

Strengths: Rafael Benitez, unquestionably. He may have his detractors and certainly has a habit of rubbing some people up the wrong way, but Benitez is one of the game’s deepest thinkers and Newcastle will have to hope that he’s able to contort a thin squad in all manner of ways if they are to survive. He’s also politically savvy which, for obvious reasons, is a valuable trait in this part of the world.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/newca.jpg?itok=sGT8dzFt

Rafa Benitez has won the odd trophy or two in his career

Weakness: The ownership. Of course it is, because already the sound of broken promises is leaking out of Tyneside. The squad has not been strengthened as Benitez was evidently assured that it would be and, unless something dramatic happens between now and the end of August, they will approach their first season back in the Premier League from a very weak position.

Yes, there’s a danger which results from making too many alterations and attempting to buy security creates its own problems, but Newcastle have failed to find the middle ground between stick and twist.

Southampton

Strength: Their flexibility. Southampton are a great success story and that’s primarily because they’ve been able to see trouble ahead. Last season was underwhelming and Claude Puel’s football was often anaemic, but they have a habit of changing manager without breaking stride.

Mauricio Pellegrino will inherit some issues, not least the disconnect between the side’s midfield and its forwards, but why - given the recruitment team’s track record - would anyone doubt that this is the start of another growth phase?

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/southam.jpg?itok=7BzdobDt

Mauricio Pellegrino has some issues to solve

Weakness: Still, the absence of a true central playmaker is a concern. Manolo Gabbiadini is a fine finisher and he’s surrounded by some dynamic players, but the Italian needs a foil - or at least some support - and one hasn’t arrived (yet). Mario Lemina has joined from Juventus, for a club record fee no less, but his attributes will mainly be of value from deep and Pellegrino still needs an extra body at the top of the pitch.

Stoke

Strength: There isn't much to choose from, is there? There’s some background noise about the club potentially signing Andriy Yarmolenko, which would obviously be nice, but otherwise it’s been a quiet summer. The loss of Marko Arnautovic is also dispiriting - maybe descriptive, too, given that he chose to join a club who don’t outwardly offer anything particularly grand.

At a stretch, the defence remains relatively stable. Jack Butland is capable of becoming Joe Hart’s long-term successor in the national team, Glen Johnson, Erik Pieters and Ryan Shawcross all return, while it looks like Bruno Martins Indi is set to sign a permanent deal this month.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/stoke_c_0.jpg?itok=GINhbcqN

Jack Butland is a Stoke positive

Weakness: The same again: all the weaknesses they had are worryingly familiar. Mark Hughes’ midfield has needed refreshment for several seasons and Darren Fletcher doesn’t offer that new life, while the lack of goals in the Premier League last year was troubling. Peter Crouch was the club’s top-scorer in 2016/17 and there’s nobody in the current squad who looks capable of reaching double figures - not even new signing Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

Swansea

Strength: Gylfi Sigurdsson will be a huge loss, but Spanish midfielder Roque Mesa is an interesting signing and, in Fernando Llorente, Alfie Mawson, Martin Olsson and Ki Sung-yueng, Swansea have retained some of their most important parts. The club have also added support in a few areas: Tammy Abraham bears enough comparison with Llorente to be considered a genuine back-up, which is an important development.

Perhaps, though, Paul Clement is their real strength. He certainly blended some necessary pragmatism into the club’s ideals upon arrival and, while retaining most of its aesthetics, the native style wasn’t quite as naive under his watch. Clement can be capable of mishaps - the game of many, many crosses against Middlesbrough last season being one - so his reign is cause for cautious rather than conclusive optimism.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/clement.jpg?itok=hykL5OhS

Paul Clement got a lot right at Swansea in the second half of last season

Weakness: Jordi Amat has left on loan and Federico Fernandez didn’t have a good season last year. Swansea needed to upgrade at centre-back and their failure to do that is a little baffling. Similarly, while Kyle Naughton played his part in the survival effort, there are better full-backs around.

Only Hull (80) conceded more goals than Swansea (70) in the Premier League last season, so the defence is still a major concern.

Tottenham

Strength: The first XI. If football was solely an 11-player sport, Tottenham would be considered among the title favourites. They’re talented, settled and have quality in every area. The Jan Vertonghen/Toby Alderweireld pairing is the best centre-back combination in the country, Mous(s)a Dembele and Victor Wanyama comprise probably the most balanced deep-lying midfield pairing, while Harry Kane is obviously an elite forward.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/spurs1.jpg?itok=xW3Venju

Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld: a dynamic duo

Weakness: The obvious: Tottenham have done nothing in the transfer window. The reasonable elements within their fanbase concede that the first team doesn’t require much investment (and that improving upon it under the current wage structure would be extremely difficult). However, the failure - or reluctance - to add any sort of depth will likely prove a serious error of judgement.

Watford

Strength: The new midfield, formed (at least in part) from Nathaniel Chalobah and Will Hughes, should be very productive. Those two players in particular will complement each other nicely and, because of their shared technical ability, should improve under Marco Silva. Pre-season predictions are always idealised and so - yes - Chalobah and Hughes could encounter growing pains at a new level, but for now both look like smart additions.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/watford1.jpg?itok=cWQDUG4A

Watford's Hughes (left) and Chalobah in their England U21 days

Weakness: Still the transience. Watford exist season-to-season and in both of their last two Premier League campaigns, have effectively signed off when they’ve assumed themselves safe. Silva was presumably given some assurances over the stability of his job, so maybe he’ll be able to cure the culture a bit.

He’ll need to. Nobody seems to have noticed, but Watford finished 17th last season and were very fortunate that Sunderland, Middlesbrough and pre-Silva Hull were so hopeless.

West Brom

Strength: Laugh away, but it’s Tony Pulis’s style of football. He may attract negative assumptions by the dozen, but how many other managers could take such an ordinary group of footballers - because, sorry, but that’s what West Brom are - and guarantee them Premier League safety? It’s not exciting, it’s not something which fires supporters’ enthusiasm, but it is impressive.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/pulis_1.jpg?itok=j-e5WgBb

Tony Pulis: no crowd-pleaser, but knows what he's doing

Add Jay Rodriguez to the ‘strength’ column, too: a cultured footballer who’s good in the air and will prove to be exactly the sort of attacking part that Pulis knows what to do with. A very good signing.

Weakness: The post-40-point blues. It’s the standing joke: as soon as a Pulis teams feels safe, their level of application falls through the floor. Last season, they didn’t win a single game between the middle of March and the end of May. That has to go, because as long as that mentality remains, the club are toughening their own glass ceiling.

West Ham

Strength: A growing maturity, seemingly. The difference in West Ham from a year ago is dramatic: there has been no shouting on social media, no look-at-us transfer culture and, a few errant tweets aside, very little negative PR. In its place has risen a calm, strategic approach to the transfer market which has systematically allowed the curing of long-standing weaknesses.

A new goalscorer, a much better goalkeeper, plus two strong Premier League performers in Marko Arnautovic and Pablo Zabaleta. For once, West Ham’s strength has been their recruitment.

image: https://images.cdn.fourfourtwo.com/sites/fourfourtwo.com/files/styles/inline-image/public/west_ham_1_1.jpg?itok=7hyeDsPy

Marko Arnautovic should prove a fine summer signing

Weakness: It’s an unfair point, because clubs can’t be expected to tackle every issue they have inside a single window, but the lack of depth is still a concern. An injury to Cheikh Kouyate would cause significant issues in midfield, for instance, as would the absence of Winston Reid in defence.

There’s a month of window left, so maybe West Ham are still pursuing players, but the peril of having a thin squad is an annual problem in the East End and staff shortages could well undermine another season if they’re unlucky.

일부 ‘친환경 계란’이 알고보니 ‘살충제 계란’인 것으로 드러나면서 국민들의 불안감이 커지고 있다. 일부 농가들이 사용금지 살충제를 사용해온 배경에는 살충제 성분인 피프로닐 성분 등에 대해 자체 기준조차 설정하지 않은 채 느슨하게 대응해온 정부가 있었다는 지적이 나온다.

농림축산식품부는 유럽지역 계란에서 피프로닐 성분이 검출된 것을 계기로 ‘살충제 계란’ 파문이 확산되고 난 뒤인 지난 7일부터 일부 산란계 사육 농장을 표본으로 뽑아 잔류농약 검사를 실시했다.


이 검사가 진행되고 있던 지난 14일 경기 남양주시 소재 8만 마리 규모의 산란계농장에서 생산된 계란에서 피프로닐 살충제가 검출됐다. 벨기에·네덜란드·독일·스웨덴·영국·프랑스·아일랜드 등 유럽에서 최근 유통된 계란에서 검출돼 국제적인 파문을 일으킨 바로 그 성분이다.

국제 식품 농약잔류 허용규정인 코덱스가 규정하고 있는 계란의 피프로닐 검출 기준치는 ㎏당 0.02㎎인데 이 농가의 계란에서는 ㎏당 0.0363㎎의 피프로닐이 검출됐다. 피프로닐은 개·고양이의 진드기·벼룩 등을 없애는데 사용되는 살충제 성분으로 닭에는 사용이 금지돼 있다. 세계보건기구(WHO)는 피프로닐을 다량으로 섭취하면간장·신장 등의 장기가 손상될 가능성이 있다고 경고한 바 있다. 그럼에도 정부는 피프로닐에 대한 별도의 기준치 없이 코덱스 규정을 바탕으로 표본 검사만을 실시해 왔다.


농식품부 관계자는 “지난해 9·10월과 지난 5월 일부 표본을 대상으로 실시한 검사에서는 피프로닐 성분이 검출되지 않았는데 유럽지역의 살충제 계란 파문 이후 한결 강화된 표본검사에서 이런 결과가 나왔다”고 밝혔다. 당국의 느슨한 대응 속에 일부 농가들이 폭염 때 늘어나는 진드기 등을 잡겠다며 피프로닐 성분이 들어있는 살충제를 사용했을 수 있음을 보여주는 대목이다. 남양주의 농가 측은 당국의 조사에서 “인근 농가에서 진드기 박멸에 효과가 좋다는 얘길 듣고 사용했으며 문제가 되고 있는 피프로닐이 들어있는 줄 몰랐다”고 밝힌 것으로 전해졌다. 경기 광주시에서 6만 마리의 산란계를 키우는 다른 농가의 계란에서는 ‘비펜트린’이라는 농약 성분이 기준치를 초과해 검출되기도 했다.

당국은 산란계 농가가 닭장에 살충제를 뿌리는 과정에서 살충제가 닭의 몸속으로 들어가 계란에까지 영향을 미쳤을 가능성이 있는 것으로 보고 있다. 진드기 등을 구제하기 위해 살충제를 뿌릴 때는 닭장에서 닭을 빼낸 뒤 해야 하지만 일부 농가들이 이를 지키지 않는 경우도 있는 것으로 전해지고 있다.

당국은 진드기 등이 극성을 부리는 여름철을 맞아 다른 농가들도 피프로닐 등이 들어있는 살충제를 사용했을 가능성이 있는 것으로 보고 17일까지 모든 산란계 사육 농장을 대상으로 검사를 실시하기로 했다. 


일각에서는 산란계 뿐만 아니라 육계에서도 살충제가 사용되는 경우 치킨 등도 살충제에 오염돼 있을 수 있다는 우려를 제기하고 있다. 이에 대해 전문가들은 육계는 산란계와 달리 속성으로 키워 출하하기 때문에 살충제를 쓰기가 쉽지 않으며, 당국의 검사도 한결 강력하게 진행되기 때문에 오염 우려는 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 보고 있다. 

그러나 일선 학교에서는 학교 급식에서 계란은 물론 닭고기가 들어가는 메뉴까지 당분간 제외시키려는 움직임을 보이는 등 국민들의 불안감은 더욱 커지고 있다. 


이번 사태로 국내 계란의 대부분을 차지하는 ‘친환경 계란’에 대한 불신이 확산될 것으로 보인다. 지난해 말 기준으로 3000마리 이상을 사육하는 산란계 농가 1060곳 중에서 780곳(73%)이 친환경 인증을 받아 계란을 생산해 왔다. 국내에서 생산되는 계란의 80∼90%는 친환경 계란인 것으로 알려졌다.
