> Packing is the measurement of how many opposition players are beaten by a pass (or dribble or other move).
This is what the Italians really do well with their "verticalizzazione" (I guess "verticalization" would be the closest English translation, even though I'm not sure that's a word yet), i.e. deep passing when you're (usually) 30 to 50 meters outside the opposing post. For an excellent example see this YT video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWr1tTFt7a4) of Sarri's Napoli doing it (Sarri is now Chelsea's coach, that should be interesting).
