Abstract

In modern football, success depends not only on players' physical fitness but also on the effective use of tactical strategies. As such, developing appropriate tactics is crucial to a team's overall performance. This study aims to identify the key criteria and behavioral sequences associated with tactical implementation during matches by the U21 football team of An Giang province, Vietnam. To achieve this, the study employed a combination of methods including document analysis, surveys, pedagogical observations, and statistical techniques. The research involved 30 male players from the An Giang U21 team, with observations conducted over 19 official matches. Findings revealed two main categories of tactical criteria regarding attacking and defensive tactics, as well as two corresponding types of tactical behaviors reflecting offensive and defensive strategies in match play.
