Abstract

This internship report was carried out within the scope of the 2nd cycle of the Master's Degree in High Performance Sports Training, Faculty of Sport, University of Porto. The main objective of the work focused on the subject of observation and analysis of the opponent's game, and how this dimension influences the planning and preparation of the training in order to increase the performance indexes of the team in the competitive moment. We verify that the game model and the training model are dimensions that are not independent of the model of observation and analysis of the opponent, but rather have a high degree of dependence. Game analysis is an indispensable method of evaluating and controlling performance and training. In this line of reasoning, the definition of the strategic plan for the next competitive moment has to contemplate the characteristics of the previous game and those of the game that is approaching. We also conclude that the strategic-tactical plan of a team can not disrespect the principles of the game's game model, and may make the training process counterproductive, intervention at this level should refer to the emphasis on inherent dynamics and behaviors to our play, in order to cancel or take advantage of the characteristics of the opposing team. Finally, we conclude, that this process must condition the decision of the player but never decide for it. I think that this work presents itself as a simple but contributory contribution to a topic that has already been explored but little operationalized, uniting the three dimensions of analysis, training and football game.
