In many team sports, the ability to control and generate space in dangerous areas on the pitch is crucial for the success of a team. This holds, in particular, for soccer. In this study, we revisit ideas from Fernandez and Bornn (2018) who introduced interesting space-related quantities including pitch control (PC) and pitch value. We identify influence of the player on the pitch with the movements of the player and turn their concepts into data-driven quantities that give rise to a variety of different applications. Furthermore, we devise a novel space generation measure to visualize the strategies of the team and player. We provide empirical evidence for the usefulness of our contribution and showcase our approach in the context of game analyses.
在许多团队运动中，在球场上危险区域控制和创造空间的能力对球队的成功至关重要。这一点在足球运动中尤为适用。在本研究中，我们重新审视了费尔南德斯和博恩（2018年）提出的观点，他们引入了包括球场控制（PC）和球场价值在内的与空间相关的有趣量值。我们通过球员的移动来确定球员在球场上的影响力，并将他们的概念转化为数据驱动的量值，从而产生各种不同的应用。此外，我们设计了一种新颖的空间创造度量方法，以可视化球队和球员的策略。我们为我们的贡献的实用性提供了实证证据，并在比赛分析的背景下展示了我们的方法。
