In soccer, it is important that the coach appoints players who contribute to winning the game. It is also important to train such players and pursue prospective players from other teams by scouting. However, the current evaluation of players is often determined by the subjectivity of evaluators. To solve this problem, research is being conducted on indicators that quantify the value of every action. This has made it possible to evaluate players objectively, taking into account all types of attacking actions other than scoring and assisting. On the other hand, in team sports such as soccer, it is clear that there is ``compatibility'' among individual players. Therefore, to improve team performance, it is necessary to not only consider the performance of the individual players, but also the compatibility among the players when deciding on their lineup to participate in a match or when scouting new players. In addition to the performance of individual players, the compatibility among the players varies based on their playing styles. In this study, first the playing style is quantified using non-negative matrix factorization. Then, the relationship between the compatibility among players and their playing styles is analyzed using multiple regression analysis that considers interaction effects.
