Abstract

Abstract Background Transitions in football are pivotal moments in the game, carrying significant tactical and strategic implications. Despite the lack of a consensus on the exact definition and duration of transitions, their importance is evident in the analysis of football matches. Clear connections exist between performance indicators, team play styles, and specific game moments. The evolution of game analysis, facilitated by technology employing spatial, optical, and motion sensors, has heightened the recognition of transition actions. Methods This narrative review synthesizes perspectives on transitions from various authors and investigates how these perspectives have evolved over time. By utilizing real-time analysis through advanced technology, the review aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of transitions in football. Results Counterattacks are identified as a key outcome emerging from transitions, affirming existing literature suggesting that each transition prompts a response from the opposing team. The review underscores the need to objectively define the dichotomy of transitions in terms of the moment of play and style of play, mitigating overlap and confusion. Conclusion Transitions are complex phenomena occurring independently of ball possession. Understanding their classification, determinants, and outcomes is crucial for optimizing team performance. By shedding light on the multifaceted nature of transitions, this review contributes to a more nuanced comprehension of this critical aspect of football strategy.
