“…Visual analysis is nowadays common in many sports. [8][9][10] The general popularity of soccer led to various approaches which focus on different aspects of the game, including passing behavior 11,12 and formations. 13 Other approaches focus on a subset of aspects of the game like dynamics of different zones 14 or trajectory visualization.…”

The performance of soccer players is commonly rated by soccer experts for each match as well as over a tournament or during a season/year. However, these ratings are mostly subjective. We instead propose a visual analytics approach for a more objective, data-driven analysis of soccer players’ performances. We introduce data-driven ratings for various aspects, which can be combined by interactively assigning weights to compute an overall score as well as individual scores for passes, duels, and shots. Our tool supports comparative visualizations at a global level that can be adapted to different analysis tasks as well as in-detail analyses of individual events of the game. We apply our approach to data gathered during the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship and perform in-detail analyses of individual players in selected matches.

“…Un ejemplo de estas interacciones son las triangulaciones Sumpter, 2013), definidas como la relación posicional entre dos o tres jugadores del mismo equipo, los cuales pueden conectarse a través de una secuencia de dos pases consecutivos en una misma jugada. El concepto de triangulación destaca en el comportamiento táctico grupal para generar ventajas colectivas, fomentando la cercanía y densidad de jugadores ofensivos con el fin incrementar la eficiencia en los pases, aspectos que resultan clave para mantener la posesión del balón (Chassy, 2013;Malqui et al, 2019).…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el efecto de realizar diferentes tipos de triangulaciones de pases en campo propio sobre el mantenimiento de la posesión del balón y la progresión del juego en fútbol profesional. Un total de 70,653 triangulaciones en campo propio, llevadas a cabo en los 380 partidos de la liga española de fútbol masculino de la temporada 2018/2019, fueron analizadas utilizando datos de eventos proporcionados por StatsPerform. Dichas triangulaciones fueron clasificadas en dos grupos: las que suponían una repetición de carril lateral y las que no. Teniendo en cuenta esta clasificación, se realizaron dos análisis complementarios: uno diferenciando estos dos tipos de triangulaciones y otro atendiendo a las jugadas en las que estaban presentes, prestando especial atención a cuáles terminaron en la pérdida de balón. En ambos análisis, los resultados arrojan la misma conclusión: una triangulación en la que se repite carril lateral o una jugada en la que haya incluida al menos una repetición de carril lateral tienen una mayor tendencia a terminar en pérdida de balón que cualquier otro tipo de triangulación o jugada en la que no se incluya este tipo de triangulación. Palabras clave: analítica de fútbol, eventos, pases, rendimiento, posesión, carril lateral. Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of performing different type of passing triangulations in the own half on the ball possession and progression in professional football. A total of 70,653 triangulations in the own half that took place during 380 matches from the Spanish La Liga 2018/2019 were analyzed by using event data provided by StatsPerform. All triangulations were classified into two groups: (i) one with triangulations involving a side lane repetition and (ii) a second group with those triangulations without a side lane repetition. Considering this classification, we conducted two complementary analyses: one differentiating these two types of triangulations and another considering what kind of plays contained lateral lane repetitions, paying special attention to plays that ended in the loss of the ball. In both analyses, results show the same conclusion: a triangulation in which side lane is repeated or a play in which at least one side lane repetition is included have a greater tendency to finish with a turnover than other types of triangulations or plays in which this type of side lane repetition does not appear. Keywords: football analytics, events, passes, performance, possession, lateral lane.

“…Tracking and sensing technologies are used to collect spatiotemporal information within the match. Recently it has been widely explored in football as, for instance, in [16], [17]. Additionally, data that surrounds sports can enrich the context information and may be also considered being referred to as meta-data, as in [18].…”

The present work describes the application of information visualization techniques to better understand the behaviour of a forecasting model designed to predict football match scores based on past confrontations. We have run the forecasts during the 2019 season of Brazilian National Championship and, once it was over, we gathered data to observe the performance of the forecasts, based on a set of evaluators we propose. The main contribution of this paper is the introduction of visual devices, each attached to one of these evaluators, designed to enhance interpretation of the performance of forecasting models in general and sports forecasts in particular. We also present other visualizations that help taking notice of particular features of the championship and the forecasts.
