Identificação de potenciais "camisas 10" no futebol a partir da análise de indicadores técnico-táticos

Abstract

This research aims to identify young football players who have transversal characteristics to "Nº 10 shirt" (or playmaker). To this end, based on studies on the subject, six technical-tactical guiding indicators were defined for this investigation, namely: pass, reception, offensive set-pieces, assistance, shots, and interactions. The study, of a descriptive nature, correlational character, and quantitative approach, had a sample composed of 56 players belonging to the eight clubs with the best campaign in the IV Ipiranga Sub 20 International Cup - 2019. Each team was analyzed in 5 successive games and the selection of players took place using a minimum minute rule, corresponding to 315 minutes. From the observation of the match videos, the LongoMatch software (version 1.3.6) was used to collect the data. Intra-observer reliability was determined using Cohen's Kappa index. In the IBM SPSS software (version 25), descriptive and inferential statistical analyzes were performed. The results found showed that all the variables proposed by the study - except assistance - contributed to the prospecting of potential "Nº 10 shirt". It was also found that the receptions and shots made within the penalty area, as well as the achievement of goals, for example, were not essential to determine these players. In total, 14 players were identified with characteristics like those observed in "Nº 10 shirt", being ten midfielders, three forwards and one full-back. Among these, the player of Internacional's team, who played with the number 10 shirt during the competition, was the one that stood out the most. Regarding the characteristics that best determine the technical-tactical profile of a "Nº 10 shirt", it was noticed that the component formed by the indicators pass, reception and interactions, is the most relevant, followed by the component composed by the offensive set-pieces, and finally, the component related to the shots. This study appears as an alternative for researchers who wish to work on this theme, since there are few studies in the area.
