Analysis of performance of the brazilian football selection in the 2018 football World Cup

O futebol é um dos esportes mais populares do mundo, todavia, ainda é pouco estudado em relação as suas variáveis técnicas. O conhecimento dos eventos que ocorrem na partida pode ser mais uma ferramenta na preparação de um time. A utilização do scoult, o conjunto numérico de dados de um time durante determinado jogo, tem sido cada vez mais utilizado. Objetivou-se analisar o desempenho da seleção brasileira na Copa do Mundo FIFA 2018. Foi um estudo quantitativo, descritivo observacional e documental, no qual se analisou os 5 jogos do Brasil. Os resultados mostraram que a seleção teve uma posse de bola superior aos seus adversários em 4 dos 5 jogos, apresentando uma média de 55,6%. Durantes os jogos, a seleção trocou 2839 passes, 2501 certos, resultando em um aproveitamento de 88%. Os achados revelaram que o Brasil finalizou a gol 103 vezes, uma média de 20,6 chutes por jogo, marcando em sua participação 8 gols, o que representa um baixo aproveitamento nas finalizações. O time sofreu apenas 3 gols, tendo uma campanha de 3 vitórias, 1 empate e 1 derrota. Conclui-se que o Brasil apresentou um aproveitamento muito bom de posse de bola e passes, todavia, o desempenho nas finalizações foi ruim, visto que embora a equipe tenha apresentado um número elevado de finalizações, teve uma média baixa de gols na competição, o que pode ter contribuído para sua eliminação precoce na competição.
