Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of performing different type of passing triangulations in the own half on the ball possession and progression in professional football. A total of 70,653 triangulations in the own half that took place during 380 matches from the Spanish La Liga 2018/2019 were analyzed by using event data provided by StatsPerform. All triangulations were classified into two groups: (i) one with triangulations involving a side lane repetition and (ii) a second group with those triangulations without a side lane repetition. Considering this classification, we conducted two complementary analyses: one differentiating these two types of triangulations and another considering what kind of plays contained lateral lane repetitions, paying special attention to plays that ended in the loss of the ball. In both analyses, results show the same conclusion: a triangulation in which side lane is repeated or a play in which at least one side lane repetition is included have a greater tendency to finish with a turnover than other types of triangulations or plays in which this type of side lane repetition does not appear. © 2022 Federacion Espanola de Docentes de Educacion Fisica.
