The data presented in Table 3 allow formulating of several
conclusions, including:
− offensive and defensive players make more than
twice as many passes of the ball capturing the play
space (on the average 24 passes) than offensive
players (on the average 9 passes) or defensive
players (on the average 11 passes),
−
worth highlighting is particularly high activity of Xavi
in performing ball passes capturing the play space
i.e. 31 passes,
− please note also the fact that offensive players i.e.
Ronaldinho and Eto’o make fewer passes capturing
the play space (6 and 8 respectively) than players
fulfilling mainly defensive tasks i.e. Zambrotta (10
passes) and Touré (17 passes),
− effectiveness of passes capturing the play space
made by offensive and defensive players is twice
as high (on the average 20 effective passes) than
for defensive players (on the average 9 effective
passes) and nearly four times higher than for players
fulfilling mainly offensive actions who make only
6 effective passes on the average,
− also the worth of passes capturing the play space
made by offensive and defensive players is twice
as high (on the average 80 scores) than worth of
passes by defensive players (on the average 36
scores) and three times higher than worth of passes
by offensive players (on the average 26 scores),
− outstanding accuracy of passes to partners made
by Xavi (112 scores) is worth highlighting.
The data presented in Table 4 allow formulating of
the following conclusions:
− the players fulfilling mainly offensive tasks receive
three times more passes capturing the play space
i.e. on the average 20, than defensive players (on the
average 7) and twice as much as offensive and defensive
players who receive 12 passes on the average,
− particularly frequently the passes are received by
the offensive player Messi i.e. on the average 28
passes in the game,
− similarly, offensive players dominate with respect
to effectiveness and worth of received passes, with
the differences which are lower, and they are equal
in the case of effectiveness: 15 to 7, with respect
to defensive players, and 15 to 11, with respect to
offensive and defensive players, and in the case of
worth: 55 scores to 25 scores with respect to defensive
players, and 55 scores to 31 scores with
respect to offensive and defensive players,
− in this area, the actions of Eto’o (66 scores) and
Messi (75 scores) are particularly valuable,
− similar differences in activity and worth of making passes
to individual players indicates a similar level of undertaken
risk that is receiving similarly difficult passes.
The data included in Table 5 indicate certain regularities
in play positioning by the players of FC Barcelona team:
