“…When a team attacks from the wide, the centre backs of the opposition gets more time and can anticipate the crosses. This result is juxtaposed to Mara et al (2012), which showed that in 2010-11 season of W-league 13 24% goals were scored from crosses. That might be a serious difference between women's game and the men's game.…”

Abstract. In order to find the determinants of non-penalty goals scored per match, in association football (soccer), this paper developed a regression model consisting of 8 explanatory variables, based on observations for 98 teams playing in the top tiers of club football in England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy. We started with a framework that considered twenty-one different pitch actions that included both technical and tactical variables. Using data for the 2015-16 football season we narrowed down to the 8 variable model. The paper used a log-linear regression model in order to remove heteroscedasticity. The model estimated the number of non-penalty goals per game with error of less than |0.33| for 93 teams out of 98. For 52 teams the margin of error was less than |0.1|. Shots from penalty box per game, share of shots from goal box in total shots and long pass accuracy were found to have statistically significant positive impact on non-penalty goals scored per game. Share of long passes in total passes and crosses per game have significant negative impact.

“…These conditional demands, especially those in reference to high intensity, have increased in professional soccer in recent years (Bradley et al, 2015). Multiple variables of the situation such as the location (Castellano, Blanco-Villaseñor, & Álvarez, 2011), the competitive category (Di Salvo, Pigozzi, Gonzalez-Haro, Laughlin, & De Witt, 2013), the opponent's level (Folgado, Duarte, Fernandes, & Sampaio, 2014), the tactical system (Tierney, Young, Clarke, & Duncan, 2016), the playing style (Morgans, Adams, Mullen, McLellan, & Williams, 2014), the demarcation (Andrezejewski, Chmura, Pluta, & Konarski, 2015), the origin of the players (Casamichana & Castellano, 2014) and the time with and without the ball (Da Mota, Thiengo, Gimenes, & Bradley, 2016), condition the quantity and the intensity of the efforts demanded during the competition.…”

Background: The analysis of the efforts performed during a soccer match and its relation with the competitive success still presents numerous questions. Objective: 1) To describe and compare the physical demands (total covered meters and meters covered at high speed ranges), between the teams of the Spanish First and Second Division league. 2) To determine if the distance covered of the teams is related to the sports success (final classification, the points obtained and the goals in favour and against). Method: A total of 712 games (First and Second Division) were analysed using a computerized multi-camera system (Mediacoach, Mediapro and LaLiga ©). In order to quantify the physical performance, the following distances were recorded: total distance (TD), the distance covered between 21-24 km/h (DHI) and distance covered above 24km/h) (DVHI). In order to quantify the sports success, we considered the final classification, the obtained points as well as the goals in favour and against. Results: The total distance covered by the teams of the First and Second Division Leagues was similar, however, the distance covered at high intensity and distance covered at very high intensity was greater in the teams of the First Division (p<0.05; d of Cohen >1.2). No relations were detected between the meters covered and the recorded success indicators. Conclusion: This data should be taken into account by the coaches and physical trainers when guiding the training process of

“…In team sports, and specifically football, these procedures have facilitated the interpretation of the dynamics of play devised to score goals. (Clemente, Martins & Mendes, 2016;Mara, Wheeler & Lyons, 2012;Perl, 2001). Network analysis allows for the study into passing frequency and the establishment of probabilistic relationships between people or certain areas of the playing field.…”

IntroducciónEl análisis del rendimiento deportivo se ha transformado en los últimos años por el gran volumen de datos y la velocidad con la que se adquieren. Su análisis ha permitido establecer indicadores de rendimiento, facilitando la toma de decisiones de los distintos miembros del AbstractThe aim of this study is to analyze the attacking behavior of the team Real Club Deportivo Español over the seasons . To achieve this, the proposal is made to evaluate networks depending on the areas of the field where the ball was passed until it reached the final third. The passing impetus in the team that can be ascertained from this network over the two seasons under analysis allows us to capture the dynamics of offensive play throughout said period. It can be observed that the closing down of the flanks and a sturdy inside defense lead to ball recovery in interior zones, thus facilitating attacking play with the ball and bringing about counterattacks down the wings. Irrespective of the recovery zone (own half or opponent's half), the progression of the attack emerged through a direct clearance along the flanks to feed finishing zones. The use of this type of analysis allows for the identification of the most likely channels to be chosen by a team to reach the final third. Future records that contemplate the type of recovery and ending, as well as the players taking part in the sequence would allow for the application of other techniques and methods, along with the analysis of the main components or factorial analysis to reduce the dimensional nature of the data involved, thus obtaining the correlation of all those categories that define each sequence or pattern of offensive play.
