Abstract

The evolution of football in past years can be due, among other aspects, to the enlargement of different views on training and competition. The tasks that regard the preparation of a training process and competitive moments have within them several areas of knowledge. These different areas contribute not only to a better performance of the team but also of its coaches. Within this perspective, game observation and analysis is an important tool, becoming one of the many factors that contribute to a functional and suitable implementation of a training process and, therefore, to a more effective way of competing. This work was carried out within the scope of the 2nd cycle in Sport for Children and Youngsters of the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto, giving an account of the knowledge acquired and the experience lived during a sports season. In order to generate effective and practical information about training with finalizing players, the goal was to compare football players of the U-17 team of Sport Comércio e Salgueiros with those of a futsal team, the U-17 of Póvoa Futsal Club. For this, field notes and images of trainings and games were used as data analysis to recognize the differences between both sports. The main goal was to analyze the offensive phase of the teams, specifically the goals scored. A table with several parameters was created to evaluate the goals, primarily the technical gesture. Concluding, most of the parameters did not illustrate great differences result wise. Even though both sports (football and futsal) are different, we can witness some interesting things throughout the evaluation.
