Research on The Offensive Characteristics of La Liga Team Based on Social Network Analysis

Abstract

To explore the difference of social network parameters between the network of passing before scoring and the network of passing before missing the goal, and to explore the correlation between social network parameters and team performance, this paper establishes the offensive pass network of 20 teams in the La Liga from 2017 to 2018, and 11 social network parameters are calculated. The Pearson correlation test is used to explore the linear correlation between 11 social network parameters and team performance. The results show that the linear correlation between the network parameters of passing before scoring and team performance is stronger than the network parameters of passing before missing the goal. According to the results, we can provide reliable and effective information to the football coaches to help improve the performance of football matches.
