Resumo(s)
This study aims to illustrate the landscape of passing opportunities of a football team across a set of
competitive matches. To do so positional data of 5 competitive matches was used to create polygons
of pass availability. Passes were divided into three types depending on the hypothetical threat they
may pose to the opposing defense (penetrative, support, and backwards passes). These categories
were used to create three heatmaps per match. Moreover, the mean time of passing opportunities was
calculated and compared across matches and for the three categories of passes. Due to the specificity
of player’s interactive behavior, results showed heatmaps with a variety of patterns. Specifically the
fifth match was very dissimilar to the other four. However, characterizing a football match in terms of
passing opportunities with a single heatmap dismisses the variety of dynamics that occur throughout
a match. Therefore, three temporal heatmaps over windows of 10 min were presented highlighting
on-going dynamical changes in pass availability. Results also display that penetrative passes were
available over shorter periods of time than backward passes that were available shorter than support
passes. The results highlight the sensibility of the model to different task constrains that emerge
within football matches.
