- Abstract
e area of tactics in soccer game is of particular importance for modern soccer development. e analysis and improvement of spatio-temporal indicators as well as the game principles related to tactics may be crucial to the achievement of competitive results. is study is aimed at comparing tactical manifestations of the teams competing in the top quality European club competition, the Champions League, and the best Serbian soccer championship by analyzing competitive activity. e results of the conducted research were obtained by observing an overall of 20 randomly selected matches, 10 of the Champions League (CL) and 10 of the Serbian SuperLiga (SSL), which is a sucient number of matches for making conclusions about the competitions respectively. In the previously designed observing protocol, using a method of notation, we analyzed all the attacks completed by shooting at the opponent's goal. e structure of successfully realized attacks was assessed on the basis of: accuracy, types of realized offensive actions; area of starting the action, manner of realization of passes completed (assists) and distance from the goal from which a shot on goal was executed. e study showed that there are certain common characteristics, but also there are differences in the structure of successfully realized attacks between the two analyzed competitions. e teams of the CL competition had signicantly greater number of effective attacks per match (p = 0. 006), they realized their offensive activities with slightly greater number of players (p = 0.002) and number of passes (p = 0.000), whereas there are no signicant differences in the area of starting successful attacks, the manner of realization of assists and distance from which shots on goal were executed. e study results may dene certain guidelines in training technology when preparing the teams of the SSL competition for taking part in the European soccer cups.
