The aim of this study was to determine the association of playing style and efficacy variables with football success in a professional football league. Match statistics were obtained from 23 football teams competing in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons of the Spanish national league(). Offensive and defensive playing style and efficacy variables were calculated. Pearson's correlation coefficient tests and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to establish the influence of these variables on the number of points obtained at the end of the season and on the ranking position. In isolation, the efficacy of completion showed the highest association with ranking points and position. A two-dimension PCA explained 77.8% of the variance in the ranking position. In dimension-1 (58.5%), game initiative and attack building, and in dimension-2 (19.3%), efficacy of defensive containment and a lower rate of long passes were within the variables that explained more variance in the ranking position. Success in football, measured by ranking position at the end of the Spanish national league, was associated with several playing style and efficacy variables. Overall, a dominant game style with high efficacy to finish attacking plays, and an offensive game initiative, are most associated with successful football.
本研究旨在确定比赛风格和效能变量与职业足球联赛中足球成功的关联。从参加 2017-2018 赛季和 2018-2019 赛季的 23 支足球队中获取比赛统计数据（）。计算了进攻和防守比赛风格和效能变量。应用皮尔逊相关系数检验和主成分分析（PCA）来确定这些变量对赛季结束时获得的积分和排名位置的影响。在独立情况下，完成效能与排名积分和位置的关联度最高。二维 PCA 解释了排名位置方差的 77.8%。在维度 1（58.5%）中，比赛主动权和进攻构建，以及在维度 2（19.3%）中，防守遏制的效能和较低的长传率，这些变量在解释排名位置方差方面具有更大的解释力。通过西班牙国家联赛结束时的排名位置来衡量的足球成功与几种比赛风格和效能变量相关。总体而言，具有高效能完成进攻的主导比赛风格和进攻比赛主动权，与成功的足球最相关。
