The fundamental purpose and goal of the thesis is to present football formations with numerous derivations and performance of these in the phase of attack at the 2016 UEFA European Championship; as well as techniques of achieving goals, divided into two basic variables: organizational form of the attack and length component of finishing the attack.
By analysing the games at the Euro 2016, we determined particular regulations of the football game in the phase of attack by the best European teams. We presented football formations in terms of achieving goals in the phase of attack: successful completion of actions from wing positions, the centre and the counter-attack, including continuous rapid attacks and continuous attack.
The basic formation 1 – 4 – 3 – 3, also defined as 1 – 4 – 5 – 1 currently represents the most common choice in football arrangement. To elaborate, we found out that the most commonly used formation is 1 – 4 – 2 – 3 – 1. In terms of achieving goals, teams that played the basic formation 1 – 4 – 4 – 2, were the most effective. Teams using continuous attack were the most successful in finding space on the pitch; while the counter-attack and the continuous rapid attack were used equally. Teams that used the formation 1 – 4 – 4 – 2 (in the line) were the most effective in counter-attack and continuous attack. Continuous rapid attack was used by the team with the formation 1 – 3 – 5 – 2. Length component of finishing the attack from wing positions represents the most successful form of achieving goals, with teams that were dominating the formation 1 – 3 – 5 – 2. The middle attack is the most successful for teams with the basic formation 1 – 4 – 3 – 3 or its derivative 1 – 4 – 2 – 3 – 1.
