Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate open-play crosses at the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament, with spe- cific reference to the mechanism and match status of the crosses. Descriptive statistics (i.e., frequency counts and percentages) and chi-square tests of association were used to analyse the data. The study observed a total of 949 crosses, resulting in 20 goals scored (2.1%). Descriptive statistics highlighted that offensive teams had more goal-scor- ing attempts when they used counter-attacks (18.6%) compared to organized (18.2%) and direct (10.9%) attacks. A greater number of goal-scoring attempts were observed when teams used out-swinging crosses (17.4%) as opposed to in-swinging (15%) and straight (13.5%) crosses. There was a significant (p < 0.05) association between the type of attack and match status. Winning teams preferred to adopt a counter-attacking style of play; losing teams used more direct attacking strategies, and drawing teams utilized more organized attacks. Losing teams took the highest number of crosses from Zones 1 (61.1%) and 2 (56.7%) compared to other zones. These findings provide practical implications for football coaches to tailor match tactics to replicate crossing scenarios at international competitions.
2018年世界杯传中机会分析
本研究的目的是调查2018年国际足联世界杯比赛中的公开比赛传中,具体涉及传中的机制和比赛状态。使用描述性统计(即频率计数和百分比)和关联的卡方检验来分析数据。这项研究一共观察到949次传中,其中有20个进球(2.1%)。描述性统计数据强调,进攻型球队在使用反击时(18.6%)比有组织进攻(18.2%)和直接进攻(10.9%)有更多的进球尝试。当球队使用外摆传中(17.4%),而不是内摆传中(15%)和直线传中(13.5%)时,可以观察到更多的进球尝试。攻击类型与比赛状态有显著相关(p < 0.05)。获胜的球队倾向于采用反击的打法;输球的球队使用更直接的进攻策略,平局的球队使用更有组织的进攻。输球的球队从1区(61.1%)和2区(56.7%)接到的传中次数最多。这些发现为足球教练量身定制比赛战术以复制国际比赛中的传中场景提供了实际意义。
