Abstract:

The scout is a tool that is able to report to the technical comission members about the main technical-tactic events of a football game. By means of the statistical analysis of the results it is possible to get interesting information that enables us to determine which technical demands should be prioritized during the trainings. Purposes: Identifying and quantifying the main actions and/or interventions of the goalkeeper in official games. Comparing these actions by match and checking his significance. Materials and Methods: Data of the 20 state championship games, which corresponded to the participation of up to 15-year-old goalkeepers on a male football team were collected. A scout model was exclusively developed to fill in the information. The collection of data was undertaken in real time during the games. Results: Defenses (16,06%), outside the goal (17,34%), ball replacement (36,19%), line goalkeeper (30,41%). The total number of defenses was significantly lower than the ball replacementes (p=0,0001) and than the play with the feet (p=0,0024) when compared. By comparing the defenses with the other actions in the games considered state classic, only the actions about ball replacement showed a statistically significant difference (p=0,005). Conclusion: It is noticed that the actions of the goalkeeper vary according to the match demandes. the number of defenses was statistically lower throughout the championchip and, in classics, only for ball replacement. According to the opponents' level of difficulty and the teams' homogeneity the conditioning in performing defenses starts to be fundamental. The results of the study let us conclude that the goalkeeper hes to be complete.
