Visualization of attack and analysis of play affect goal in soccer game

Abstract

We focus on a visualization of soccer games to show a play leaded a shoot. To visualize attack patterns, it is necessary to reduce paths of attack. The plot is displayed by arrows what show action of ball (pass, shoot and dribbling etc.). And, the plot is separate each attack for that show the track of attack. To show long pass on the summary plot, it become more intuitive. As factorial analysis of goal, we analyze effects of some kind of play. When we analyze effects of the play, factorial analysis can't use all variables. So, we use only especially helpful variables in all variables. Thereby, we make the generalized linear model what use number of the goal as objective variable. In addition, we consider about uniform of attack for each team by the generalized linear model. Moreover, we consider about uniform of higher team and lower team at J. League. In this regard, we consult level of importance for each variable.
