“…This result shows that expert players have great anticipation capacities, corroborating the finding of Ericsson (2003) that experts seem to be better at catching early relevant indicators of the specific task. In our study, Messi and Ronaldo seem to create positional advantages in relation to the rival goal by using their attention abilities to better anticipate the outcomes of their actions and the actions of opponents (Afonso et al, 2012). So, in direct relation with the ball, they have already prepared conditions to have higher success in attacking situations.…”

Research in soccer has traditionally given more weight to players' technical and tactical skills, but few studies have analyzed the motor skills that underpin specific motor actions. The objective of this study was to investigate the style of play of the world's top soccer players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and how they use their motor skills in attacking actions that result in a goal. We used and improved the easy-to-use observation instrument (OSMOS-soccer player) with 9 criteria, each one expanded to build 50 categories. Associations between these categories were investigated by T-pattern detection and polar coordinate analysis. T-pattern analysis detects temporal structures of complex behavioral sequences composed of simpler or directly distinguishable events within specified observation periods (time point series). Polar coordinate analysis involves the application of a complex procedure to provide a vector map of interrelated behaviors obtained from prospective and retrospective sequential analysis. The T-patterns showed that for both players the combined criteria were mainly between the different aspects of motor skills, namely the use of lower limbs, contact with the ball using the outside of the foot, locomotion, body orientation with respect to the opponent goal line, and the criteria of technical actions and the right midfield. Polar coordinate analysis detected significant associations between the same criteria included in the T-patterns as well as the criteria of turning the body, numerical equality with no pressure, and relative numerical superiority.

“…Decision-making is considered to be a complex phenomenon, involving perception, anticipation, attention, memory and motor action (Afonso et al, 2012). Hence, decision-making includes both cognitive ("what to do") and motor ("how to do it") components.…”

“…This information is considered essential for good performance in unpredictable sports (Romeas et al, 2016). According to Afonso, Garganta and Mesquita (2012), decisionmaking depends on visual perception, focusing attention, anticipation and memory. Equally, it is worth emphasizing that motor action can influence the result of the decisionmaking (Lopes, Magalhães, Diniz, & Albuquerque, 2016), mainly in young athletes.…”

“…Considering the notes of researchers who specialize in the area of decision-making in sport (Afonso et al, 2012;Araújo et al, 2015), three hypotheses have been formulated: (a) the greater the intensity of the cognitive anxiety, the worse the performance will be in the passing decision-making; (b) the greater the intensity of the somatic anxiety, the worse the performance will be in the passing decision-making; and (c) the greater the intensity of self-confidence, the better the performance will be in the passing decision-making.…”

It is not known if competitive anxiety affects decision-making performance in athletes. This study aimed to analyze the effect of competitive anxiety on passing decision-making in young soccer players. This is a prospective study, whose sample consisted of 40 soccer athletes of the under-17 category. The Portuguese version of the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2R) was filled out by athletes 45 minutes before the start of a soccer match. Decision-making was evaluated in a real game situation. The analysis and categorization of actions were based on the Game Performance Assessment Instrument. The results showed significant influence of cognitive anxiety (R² =.20; p = .001), somatic anxiety (R² = .45; p = .001) and self-confidence about the passing decision-making index (R² = .31; p = .001). It was concluded that competitive anxiety can be considered an intervening factor in decision-making of the pass of young male soccer players.Keywords: test validity, scaling, elderly, depression

“…However, Forsman et al [17] investigated the development of tactical skills in a task that was not game-related, which is not specific to match demands. therefore, the scores presented by the U-14 athletes might not adequately represent the ability to solve problems in game situations, which are characterized by unpredictability, complexity, and time pressure [1,18]. In this sense, the assessment of tactical skills development through representative tasks can better evaluate longitudinal changes in tactical skills.…”

Purpose. Players' tactical skills are crucial for a successful, high-standard career in soccer. Although recent studies propose and apply the analysis of young players' tactical skills through the understanding of their knowledge about tactical principles, no research has compared the development of these specific tactical skills throughout a soccer specific season in different youth academies. this article aimed to compare the development of tactical skills in U-14 and U-15 soccer players throughout a season. Methods. the tactical skills of 30 athletes (16 U-15 and 14 U-14) of a sports club were evaluated during 10 months with the system of tactical Assessment in soccer (FUt-sAt). the incidence of tactical principles and the percentage of successful principles in offense and defence were compared with the use of a two-way ANOVA (category × time). Results. reduction was observed in the incidence of actions of offensive unity in the U-15 athletes throughout the season and a higher incidence of offensive coverage compared with U-14. Moreover, U-15 athletes increased their percentage of successful actions, both offensive and defensive, and presented a higher performance than U-14 players. Conclusions. tactical performance of U-15 soccer athletes increases over a sports season, which is not observed in the U-14 category, although players from both groups presented changes in the incidence of offensive and defensive tactical principles. this supports the non-linearity of tactical skills acquisition and development in soccer, as well as justifies the need of constant assessment during the training process across the ages.
