Talk given for Digita Academy
Summary statistics for football matches, such as ball possession and percentage of completed passes, are not always satisfyingly informative about team strategies seen on the pitch. Passing networks and their structural features can be used to evaluate the style of play in terms of passing behavior, analyzing and quantifying interactions among players. The aim of this seminar is to show how some network-based variables can be related to the level of offensive actions and finalizations for a team.
