Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of soccer tactics utilizing a “half-space” based on the five-lane theory systematized by Pep Guardiola. Data were obtained from 18 official games in the England Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, including eleven games against Manchester City FC (ManC) coached by Pep Guardiola and seven games between the other teams. Thirteen items that were related to tactics using halfspace were analyzed (ex. number of attacking using half-space) on each game. ManC had more penetration into the penalty area, and more received the ball in the half-space (pockets) within the PA. However, the large number of defensive players in the PA was existed due to possession attacking tactics (spent time to attack) in ManC. Therefore, although soccer tactics utilizing a half-space can make more opportunities to penetrate the PA and shoot, the large number of defensive players in PA makes it more difficult in the shooting situation. Therefore, the team’s score may depend on the shooting ability of the player who shoots (the finisher).
