Reserarch question: the paper investigates the influence of football clubs investments on their performancen the first division of the Brazilian league. Motivation: Considering football as the most important sport in Brazil, representing a cultural symbol of the country, understanding it better becomes necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the financial amounts involved in the management actions to try to understand the influence of the investments that the clubs make about the marketing and championships improvement and, thus, to be able to delineate the relation between investment and success in Football. Idea: In this perspective, the central hypothesis of this study is that the clubs that present the highest expenditures on soccer will also present the best classifications, since these expenses are related to better training conditions and salaries, which may contribute to the recruitment of the best athletes. Data: The study was conducted with data collected over the internet, using data provided by clubs. Only the clubs belonging to the first division were used, being a total of 19 clubs, divided into 3 groups, according to the investment value in Football. Tools: This study presents descriptive and inferential analyzes, since the qualitative-quantitative approach was assumed as a way of understanding the data. Assuming the number of clubs participating in the study, we chose non-parametric inferential analyzes in the intra- and inter-group evaluations, using the alpha value of 0.05 as criterion. Findings: The results showed that clubs in groups G1 and G2 had similar expenditures dynamics, while G3 group clubs had a slight swing. In addition, clubs in groups G1 and G2 had the largest amount of expenditures, while G3 clubs had the lowest expenditure during the period analyzed. These results demonstrated that the clubs of the G1 and G2 groups achieved the best positions in the championships, corroborating the research hypothesis. Contribution: One can conclude that the investment of the clubs directly influences the classification in the championships, being necessary great investment to conquer the championship. However, this study has some limitations, such as sample size (19 teams only). Therefore, we emphasize the need for new studies.
Research Question: the paper investigates the influence of the size of the squad and the club's expenditures on football in the final classification in seasons 2008 to 2016 of the first division of the Brazilian Football League (Serie A). Motivation: Considering soccer as the most important sport in Brazil, representing a cultural symbol of the country, it is better to make it necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the influence of the size of the squad on the performance of the teams and, in addition, how much the clubs invest in the formation of these squads. Idea: In this perspective, the central hypothesis of this study is that clubs with the highest number of players will also present the best classifications, and the second central hypothesis is that clubs with more investments in football have the biggest squad. Data: (The study was conducted with data collected over the internet, using data provided by clubs. Only the clubs belonging to the first division were used, being a total of 34 clubs, divided into 2 groups, according to the investment value in Football. Tools: This study presents descriptive and inferential analyses, since the qualitative-quantitative approach was assumed as a way of understanding the data. Assuming the number of clubs participating in the study, we chose non-parametric inferential analyses in the intra- and inter-group evaluations, using the alpha value of 0,05 as criterion. Findings: The results show that the size of the squad is not a determining factor in the ranking of clubs in the National League, but the clubs' spending on football is crucial, since the clubs with the highest spent on football were the clubs with the best safety ratings in 4 of 6 Championships. In addition, the results showed that the size of the squad and spending on Football are not related, that is, it's not the size of the squad what determines the cost of football and other factors, such as wages of athletes. Contribution: One can conclude that to the first division of the Brazilian championship of professional football, the number of athletes in the squad is not a determining factor for the position taken by the clubs in the competition, but the value invested in wages, corroborating only one of the hypotheses of study. However, this study has some limitations, such as sample size (only 34 teams), the use of clubs from a single country, and the lack of information from other clubs (not all clubs provide their financial statements through the club or federation website). Therefore, we emphasize the need for new studies.
O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a avaliação financeira de atletas atuantes no continente europeu por meio do website Transfermarkt® (TM) e do jogo Football Manager® (FM), verificando a confiabilidade de tais colaborações para os clubes reais. A amostra utilizada foi composta por 52 atletas, presentes em ambas as plataformas. Eles foram separados em dois grupos de 26 atletas, com o primeiro composto por jogadores profissionais de 18 a 20 anos (G1), e o segundo contando com atletas de 21 a 23 anos (G2). As informações coletadas foram tratadas por meio do cálculo da média (M) e do desvio padrão (DP) dos valores de comercialização dos atletas no início da temporada 2015/2016, sendo apresentados como valores percentuais. Para fins de análise intragrupo, o grupo G1 apresentou uma diferença de 1,2%, apontando um maior valor de mercado dos jogadores do FM. Na análise do G2 o valor encontrado foi de 10,9%, ou seja, o FM apresentou maior valor de mercado para os jogadores desse grupo em comparação ao TM. Por fim, o jogo eletrônico FM e o website TM apresentaram-se como efetivas ferramentas para os clubes de futebol, permitindo um fácil acesso à relevantes informações acerca do mercado.
Football is a dynamic collective sport that involves the actions of players on the field, in addition to the availability and application of player data. Being a sport extensively investigated in terms of performance analysis, there is still a need for more predictive analyzes to better understand the indicators of success. Due to these aspects, this research aimed to verify the influence of the market value of football clubs, as well as the influence of the venue and the tactical/technical aspects - shots on target, corners, crosses, ball possession and passes -, to win Premier League matches. To carry out this research, data from all 380 matches of the PL 2015/2016 season were used. The Transfermarkt website was used to collect the market value of the teams and the Daily Mail website to collect the matches data. Data analysis was performed using the Weka software. The results showed that the market value and the venue, separately, were not relevant to the victories, but when associated to tactical/technical indicators, both contributed with the victories of the teams. Concept A teams, with higher market values, achieved more victories than the concept C teams, with lower market values, in the home games when the aforementioned associations were analyzed. The results of the performed analyzes show that direct and indirect game actions are relevant for teams to win matches played at home, especially for the ones with higher market value.
O princípio da especificidade é o treinamento estar conectado com as necessidades do jogo. Portanto, o treino deve consistir em aprimorar competências e reduzir limitações, desenvolvendo comportamentos rápidos e efetivos por parte dos atletas. Deste modo, o presente estudo apresenta, como objetivo, analisar a condução de uma sessão de treinamento de futebol, de uma equipe brasileira sub-15, sob o princípio da especificidade. A pesquisa consiste em um estudo de caso, de caráter documental audiovisual, na qual o material utilizado corresponde a três vídeos analisados, de uma sessão de treinamento, que contou com a participação de 25 atletas. Como resultados, percebe-se que o princípio da especificidade esteve presente durante toda a sessão de treino, por meio de aspectos como longas transições defesa-ataque, a construção de um modelo de jogo e a comunicação. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o princípio da especificidade se mostra como uma importante ferramenta para a integração dos componentes do jogo e para resolver problemas apresentados pelo complexo cenário no qual o futebol está presente.
