deterministic chaos, attractor, game configurations, matrixAbstract
The aim of the article is to present the nature of the football game, which contemporaries approach as a dynamic system with a tendency to chaotic behavior, connecting it to several scientific disciplines. Relevant studies, which interactively connect football theory with several other disciplines, have pointed out important characteristics of the nature of the football game, which are not sufficiently visible through the prism of traditional science. The analysis of scientific articles highlights: dynamism, complexity, chaoticity, uncertainty, confrontation, reversibility, nonlinearity, flexibility, attractors, fractals, iterations, degrees of freedom. The team is seen as an open dynamic system that has the ability to self-organize and overcome itself. From the point of view of ecological psychology and dynamic systems, the athlete is a complex dynamic system whose subsystems are constantly interacting in order to make firm decisions . The player notices changes in the game scenario, existing constraints, predicts the possible course of the game and makes decisions from a wide range of possibilities that are sometimes unexpected. Speed of recognition of frequently repeated game states, appreciation of role in existing offensive and defensive matrices will enable more effective and efficient behavior at all levels of team organization in both phases. The ability to understand these deep processes of play is identified with sense of play.
