Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the shots taken by the teams finishing in the top 4 and bottom 4 in the Turkish Super League 2020-21 season; To examine the relationship between the parameters of attack style (AS), pass style (PS), shooting action (SA), ball kicking style (BKS), shot zone (SZ) and shooting pass zone (SPZ) and shooting result (SR) with the end-of-season point rankings. As a result, the differences between successful and unsuccessful teams were examined according to the shoots taken and the end-of-season point rankings. In the study, all shots taken by the teams in the top 4 and bottom 4 according to the points ranking in the Turkish Super League 2020-21 season were analyzed.

SPSS 26.0 program was used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistical methods were used to evaluate the study data. For the normal distribution of the data, the Shapiro Wilk test was applied to check the skewness and kurtosis values. Shots made as a result of the data collected; It was analyzed according to the parameters of attacking style, passing style, ball kicking style, shooting action, shooting results and success situation.

As a result; A statistically significant difference was found between the teams in the first 4 places in the end-of-season points ranking and bottom 4 in the CPB, SZ and SS parameters (p <0.05). As a result, in the light of these data, it can be concluded that the shoot is made with a direct kick from the foot after a flowing play, from the Outer Lane 1 (OL1) or Inside Lane (IL4) CPBs, from the pass thrown from the ground to the Middle Goal Zone 2 (MGZ2) shooting zone, the shoot increases the goal scoring rate has been determined.
