Metrics to Measure the Center of the Team

This chapter discusses a set of metrics involving the Geometrical Center (or centroid) of one or both teams. Each section describes a different metric, including the associated formulae and definitions, representations if valid, and an interpretation on what the metric can convey the user. The following measures will be presented: Geometrical Center; Longitudinal and Lateral Inter-team Distances; Time Delay between teams’ movements and Coupling Strength. The case studies presented involve two five-player teams in an SSG considering only the space of half pitch (68 m goal-to-goal and 52 m side-to-side) and another eleven-player team in a match considering the space of the entire field (106.744 m goal-to-goal and 66.611 m side-to-side) even though only playing in half pitch.
