Purpose –The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of match status on the physical and tactical behaviour of football (soccer) players in SSGs. Method – On two separate days a total of 12 SSGs of four minutes (and two minutes of rest) were played (GK + 4 vs 4 + GK) by 11 talented U-19 football players. Starting score-lines were randomly manipulated (0-0, 2-0 or 4-0). The players were instructed to win the game despite the starting lead or lag. To obtain data the Zephyr’s BioharnessTM 3 was used. Heart rate and GPS data were used to calculate multiple variables, categorized into physical (mean and maximal heart rate and mean and maximal speed) and tactical variables (length, width, lpw ratio, surface area, longitudinal and lateral stretch indices) and were categorized into different match statuses (-6 until 6). Results – MANOVA analyses showed that for winning and losing heart rate was higher than when drawing and that the degree of winning and losing influenced physical and tactical behaviour. For the tactical variables it was also found that when losing the length of the team is larger and when winning the width of the team is larger compared to drawing. Conclusion – In SSGs the behaviour of teams is influenced by match status and teams seem to be linked. Physical effort is higher during losing and winning compared to drawing. Additionally, teams play more in the longitudinal direction when losing and make more use of the width of the pitch when winning. Keywords: association football – soccer – small sided games – physical behaviour – tactics – match status – score-line – psychological momentum – dynamical systems theory
