Abstract(s)
The aim of the present study was to identify the importance of the
goalkeeper’s chance to shoot at goal as an outfield player in elite
futsal according to critical and situational variables. The sample
consisted of 11,446 actions corresponding to 1325 matches from
the Spanish Futsal League in the seasons from 2010 to 2015. Binary
logistic regression and classification tree multivariate models were
used to identify the best predictor variables related to the chance of
shooting as a criterion of success. Results from the binomial logistic
regression emphasised the success relationships when the teams
played at home, against an equally ranked opponent, during
balanced matches, and had up to two fouls. When the teams were
drawing or losing, the actions of goalkeeper as an outfield player
were unsuccessful. The classification tree results identified a greater
chance of shooting in balanced matches during the playoffs, and
with no more than two fouls. Negative effects were observed during
the regular phase and when used by the teams in the final moments
of a match. The identified trends will allow futsal coaches to recognise
the most suitable situations for achieving success when using
an attack with the goalkeeper as an outfield player.
