Tactical analysis in Soccer matches is based on making an exhaustive observation about our team or the rival, analyzing those aspects that interest us for our team. You can carry out this analysis on your own team or also on the rival team, it can be carried out collectively or individually depending on the purpose of the analysis.

Team technical report
Analyzing a rival or our team we focus on different sections
What is the structural organization like:
- Defense of 3 (3-5-2, 3-4-3, …)
- Defense of 4 (4-3-3,4-4-2,…)
- Defense of 5 (5-3-2, 5-2-3, …)
This organization can vary throughout the match to change strategy to try to create more danger in the rival goal or defend better against opposing attacks.
Furthermore, the organization of the field is usually different if you are in the offensive or defensive phase.
You can carry out this analysis both on the rival team and on your own team.
Another important aspect to take into account is which behaviors are repeated the most within the game.
Offensive behaviors:
- Analyze ball exit
- Its progression mechanisms
- Occupation zones under attack
Defensive behaviors:
- High block pressure
- Middle block pressure
- Low block pressure
Transitions
- Quick withdrawal
- Pressure after loss.
Resumption of play (fouls, offsides...)
Direct play
Short game:
Seeking to organize the attack
Looking for long displacement
Actions from set pieces
We focus on which are the most decisive players of the rival on these occasions, since it can give us information about what we can find on the day of the game in this type of plays, and if we have to mark some players in particular when an action of this type is going to be carried out.
In addition to analyzing the type of rehearsed plays that they usually make at each moment of the game.
Player technical reports
We must evaluate the players when we have to do recruitment work to incorporate new players into our team or to analyze them for the next game.
Analyze the most relevant characteristics of that player
- Fast
- Skillful
- Technical
- Good aerial game
- Great physical power
These are some of the possible advantages that a player can have and then channel them, either for a recruitment issue, or to analyze their own players.
