Quantifying defensive pressure on the ball carrier in soccer based on minimum arrival time

Takuma Narizuka, Ikuya Sakamoto, Ken Yamamoto +1

Defensive pressure on the ball carrier is a fundamental component of soccer tactics. Existing pressure measures often involve additional modeling assumptions, which may reduce inte…

A behavioral principle underlying attacker-defender interactions in soccer

Issei Yamazaki, Hirotaka Goto, Kojiro Otoguro +3

Soccer is widely popular for its simple rules and complex yet coordinated play that unfolds on the pitch. Nevertheless, the fundamental mechanisms governing such play are not well…

Evaluating Soccer Player Movements Using the Attacker-Defender Model

Takuma Narizuka, Issei Yamazaki

The present study investigates the attacker-defender (AD) model proposed by Brink et al. (2023), a motion model that describes the interactions between a ball carrier (attacker) an…

Space evaluation in football games via field weighting based on tracking data

Takuma Narizuka, Yoshihiro Yamazaki, Kenta Takizawa

In football game analysis, space evaluation is an important issue because it is directly related to the quality of ball passing or player formations. Previous studies have primaril…
