Abstract

Abstract: The trend in recent years of wanting to perfect strategies and tactical approaches has led football to evolve into new approaches that allow for much deeper and more rigorous strategic plans to be analyzed and developed. For this, methods such as the game model have been established, which aims to establish the key game patterns of a team in order to develop a structure that identifies and defines the characteristics of a team. The objective of this work is to carry out a case study that analyzes the game model of a professional soccer team in Germany by visualizing all its league games (n = 25) before COVID-19 and using a descriptive methodology, establishing 2 criteria and 4 elements of analysis. The results indicate, in general terms, that the team analyzed is a team marked by a combinative pattern of offensive play, which tries to unbalance the rival by progression through the central area of ​​the field and which, at a defensive level, is defined as a team that tries to recover the ball as soon as possible, covering the interior corridors, being able to conclude how through a case study we can analyze and study the characteristics of a soccer team.
