Ball possession maintenance modeling in games of the FIFA World Cup 2010TM®
Abstract
The objective of this research focuses on developing models for maintaining ball possession in games of FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010TM®. We analyzed the 64 matches of the 32 participating teams, excluding the presence of four games with extension, for a total sample of n = 120 total teams. The playing field was divided into nine zones. It was used as a criterion the total time of possession of teams in the game to sort the top models (MSup, values > 75o percentile, n = 23 teams), general models (MGer, values ≤ 75o and ≥ 25o percentile, n = 73 teams) and lower models (MInf, values < 25o percentile, n = 24 teams). We used measures of centrality and dispersion and plan inference, normality test of D'Agostino-Pearson (k samples, n ≥ 20), one-way ANOVA for repeated measures followed by post hoc Tukey, with p < 0,01. The results of this study indicate that despite the proposed top modelcharacterized by greater time of possession in games in relation to the general and lower model, there was more time of possession only in areas of the midfield and lateral attack.
