  • Coupe Du Monde 2010 : Les 24 Bleus Sélectionnés – 1Jour1actu.Com – L&
    19 mai 2010 L’actu du jour Coupe du monde 2010 : les 24 Bleus sélectionnés Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena sont sur la liste des 24 Bleus sélectionnés pour la Coupe du monde 2010, qui se tiendra du 11 juin au 11 juillet en Afrique du Sud. Ces trois joueurs ont créé la surprise, car ils n’ont jamais encore porté le maillot bleu de l’équipe de France ! Le gardien de but Cedric Carrasso, le défenseur Marc Planus et le milieu offensif Mathieu Valbuena.(©AFPPHOTO/NICOLAS TUCAT/PIERRE ANDRIEU/GERARD JULIEN) D’où vient le mot « football » ? Le mot « football » vient de l’anglais « foot » qui signifie « pied » et « ball » qui signifie « ballon ». Ce nom a été repris dans la plupart des pays du monde, à quelques exceptions près. Par exemple, les Italiens parlent de calcio, qui désigne un « coup de pied », et les Américains jouent au soccer. Le football est le sport le plus pratiqué dans le monde. Que dit l’actu ? Le suspense est terminé ! Enfin presque… À moins d’un mois du début de la Coupe du monde, la liste des 24 joueurs français sélectionnés a été révélée ce lundi. Grosse déception, donc, pour les 6 joueurs, qui figuraient sur la liste des 30 noms retenus, la semaine dernière, et qui se voyaient déjà sur les pelouses d’Afrique du Sud. Parmi eux, Hatem Ben Arfa, Adil Rami ou encore Mickaël Landreau. La liste finale ne devait comporter que 23 noms mais, suite à la blessure au mollet de William Gallas, le sélectionneur Raymond Domenech a choisi de conserver un bonus, en attendant de connaître l’état physique du défenseur.

  • Flow Motifs in Soccer: What Can Passing Behavior Tell Us?
    Journal of Sports Analytics 5 (2019) 299–311 299 DOI 10.3233/JSA-190290 IOS Press Flow motifs in soccer: What can passing behavior tell us? Joris Bekkers and Shaunak Dabadghao∗ Department of Industrial Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands Abstract. Passing is an important and crucial aspect of winning a soccer match. It plays a big role in important decisions made by managers and owners when buying/selling players, picking offensive/defensive strategies and defining a style of play. In this article we show how to support these decisions by analyzing the unique passing behaviors (motifs) of players and teams from the patterns in their passing-possession data. We analyze individual players as well as teams based on the diversity and frequency of their involvement in different motifs. We gather passing and possession data from 4 seasons (2012–15) of 6 big European leagues with 8219 matches, 3532 unique players and 155 unique teams and apply the network motif concept to study the patterns. By introducing an expected goals model we build on the motif concept to measure the effectiveness of styles of play. We also make use of a novel way to represent the motif data (the radar graph) to make comparisons between players and teams across multiple seasons. We show how this analysis can support scouting for players and managers, identifying unique players/teams, finding relationships between position and style and in finding a suitable replacement for La Computadora. 1. Introduction these websites. This opens doors to extract a lot of hidden information on player and team behaviour by In today’s world we see an increasing trend in the devising new metrics and studying the data using availability of data.
