| Centre of the Game (CJ) | ||||
| With pressure | 2 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
| With no pressure | 37 | 28 | 21 | 12 |
| Spatial Pattern of Interaction Between Teams (CEI) | ||||
| Versus offensive live | 0 | 0 | 6 m | 0 |
| Versus mid line | 9 k | 21 | 13 l | 6 |
| Versus back line | 21 j | 18 | 2 | 7 |
| Note. PPspia = Short penetrative pass preceded by and individual action; PPlpia = Long penetrative pass preceded by an individual action; PPspca = Short penetrative pass preceded by a collective action; RDB = Ball recovery or ball development before the penetrative last pass; RDBbc = Ball recovery or ball development before the last pass by ball control; RDBrb = Ball recovery or ball development before the last pass by running with the ball; RDBsp = Ball recovery or ball development before the last pass by a short pass. Frequencies with different subscripts at each column and criterion differ at p = .05, one-tailed z-test. | ||||
