Analysis of technical-tactical principles and playing model in a Portuguese football team
Abstract
Football has been extensively studied in recent decades, due to teams’ constant pursuit of improvements in both individual and collective performance of their players. The game model encompasses technical and tactical principles that guide the players' behavior during the match. Therefore, understanding it is fundamental when analyzing training and game contexts, to generate useful and objective information to assist in the coach's decision-making process. Thus, the present study aimed to understand and describe the playing style of a youth football team, as well as to characterize the offensive and defensive transition phases of the team. In the first stage, the team’s coach answered a questionnaire to identify principles of the game model. The second stage involved the analysis of four games filmed on-site by the author, two at "home" and two as visitors. The study was conducted through descriptive observational analysis. The results indicated that in 49.4% of defensive transition actions and 61.7% for offensive transition, the team executed the principles established in the coach's game model excellently. It was also observed that the team performed better in home games regarding the game principles in the defensive and offensive transition phases. It is concluded that performance analysis in sports is fundamental for the improvement of both individual and collective performance, as this department can generate information that can be used by coaches and players daily, aiming to improve the technical and tactical aspects related to the team's game model.
