A influência do resultado momentâneo da partida na amplitude e profundidade da circulação da bola em pequenos jogos no futebol

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to compare the width and depth of the teams' ball circulation in situations of winning, drawing and losing in soccer small-sided games in GR + 3vs3 + GR format. Methods: The sample consisted of 20 U-17 soccer players from a Brazilian elite club. The width and depth of the ball circulation were evaluated through the variables NVC (number of corridor variations) and NVP (number of depth variation), respectively. The values of NVC and NVP were compared between the three possible situations of momentary outcome (winning, drawing and losing), by the ratio between the values found for both variables and the time of possession of each team's ball. To compare the values in the three partial results, one-way ANOVA (NVC) and the Kruskall-Wallis test (NVP) were used.Results:The results showed that there were significant differences in NVC and NVP values, with both suffering a decrease in winning situations compared to losing situations. Conclusion: It is concluded that the momentary result of the match influences the ball circulation patterns in small-sided games. Therefore, coaches can simulate situations of winning and losing during the training in order to trigger certain behaviors on the part of the players.
