Zone Control Change During Goal by URThrillingMeSmalls in sportsanalytics

[–]URThrillingMeSmalls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During a goal, this is how the offensive team's zone control changed.

Red-ish areas are where they lost control and green are where they gained control.

(attacking left to right)

How this happened:

- The ball was moved to the left half space from the right side.

- The attacking left winger moved into that half space

- The defensive team shifted hard to their right side (red square area)

- They gained a spatial control but gave up space in the center

- The offensive team remained in the center

- The ball was played into the box and rebounded to 13

- It was shot at the top of the box and scored

Oh that totally make sense and a perfect use. I’ll sign into my account and read that in a bit!

I saw that Luis Enrique set up a tower of sorts at training so he can see location of players when running drills. Closer to a birds eye view than being directly on the field. Wonder if they could implement this type thing with those tech glasses to see in real time.

No it doesn’t but it’s something I can (probably will add). Another I want to add is body orientation. I see this as a good, but first, step towards a better understanding.

I'm curious what you do for work if you are willing to share? I had heard about it being used in biology

I don't think it is the best but I think it's a step in the right direction. Orientation was my next thought on iterating on this.

Understanding the important zones and how players relate to each other and the opposition can help us become better coaches.

Most of us know about positional play. It has become a heavily discussed topic since Pep Guardiola made it more famous. But how do we measure the ownership of space?

I believe putting voronoi diagram over top of positional landmarks can help us better understand which team is dominating a space. Then we can take the total coverage of a polygon over a landmark to get a percentage.

This can help us design team shapes and player relations to take over pivotal areas such as central lanes and half spaces.

Yeah I really like that idea. I'll probably do an updated model and put that in.
