Abstract

Training and observation and match analysis in Football are domains considered essential to achieve the success of clubs and players. This can be seen by clubs' investments in human, material and informatic resources available and essential to these functions. Match analysis is a complement, that is known by coaches as fundamental to achieve competitive results. Thus, this process has also been recognized as influential in team training process. With this document, it is intended to understand and expose the internship developed at Sporting Clube de Braga first team, concretely in the technical and match analysis departments. The opportunity to develop this professionalizing internship had the intention of allowing me to obtain a theoretical and practical knowledge at the level of Observation and Match Analysis in a high-performance context, that is, all its dynamics and lastly but equally important, its connection and influence in training process and tactical and strategical planification. As a result of constant reflections, lived experiences and information gathered in the literature, it is concluded that: 1) the analysis of the team and the opponent assume an increasing preponderance in the preparation and competitive performance of the teams; 2) the fusion of the analysis process with training assumes great importance to provide the players with more and better information in preparation for the competition; 3) the analysis process must be adaptive in relation to the moment and the context; 4) the analyst assumes himself as an extension of the technical team in the way that he seeks to filter the information, serving as a facilitating element in planning and strategic execution; 5) the match analysis is assumed to be influential in sports performance and in the formative performance of soccer athletes and coaches.
