“…'Direct' and 'possession' styles of play are the most commonly described attacking styles (Bate, 1988;Garganta, Maia, & Basto, 1997;Hughes & Franks, 2005;Olsen & Larsen, 1997;Redwood-Brown, 2008;Tenga, Holme, Ronglan, & Bahr, 2010a;Tenga, Holme, et al, 2010b;Tenga & Larsen, 2003;Tenga, Ronglan, & Bahr, 2010;Travassos, Davids, Araujo, & Esteves, 2013). In contrast to 'possession' style, 'direct' play is characterised by longer passes, low number of passes, short passing sequences, and a low number of touches per ball involvement.…”

“…Losing/winning the possession of the ball could be considered consequently a perturbation factor that might increase the chance of destabilising the defence and lead to shooting opportunities [8,9]. In fact, it has been demonstrated that the decreased percentage of accurate passes in the conceding team is an important parameter of the instability of soccer teams at 5-minutes before goal-conceding [15]. In addition, the average transition time from losing the ball to a goal being conceded was 51 sec and most of the goals were conceded in less than one minute after the ball was lost.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the temporal occurrence of losing possession of the ball in soccer and its association with conceding a goal. 19).The results of an independent t testshowed that there was a significant difference (t=2.71, p=0.008) in transition time between youth and senior groups. In conclusion, this study showed that the number of times that the ball was lost increased near to a goal being conceded and the duration of the most recent loss was very close to goal-conceding. Thus effective strategies that have been employed to destabilise opponents include increasing the number of perturbations through losing possession of the ball, speeding up the transition periods and the final strike after the opponents lose the ball.

“…identified various determinants including passing accuracy, shooting accuracy and success, possession, types of passes and passing sequences, attacking third entry, position of attempt and type of shoot, distance covered, formation etc. Another strand of literature focusses on identifying goal scoring patterns (Garganta et al, 1997, Yiannakos & Armatas, 2006, Armatas et al, 2007, Redwood-Brown, 2008, Armatas et al, 2009, Lago-Penas et al, 2010b, Tenga et al, 2010, Ridgewell, 2011, Mitrotasios & Armatas, 2014, Pratas et al, 2012 depending on time of goal scored, sequence of actions prior to goal, passing pattern before goal scoring, area of scoring attempt, type of attack and other situational variables.…”

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.
