Currently, one of the biggest concerns for coaches and trainers, and even more so in this period with new coaches’ staff of the teams, is the rapid construction of the style of play in order to permit players to quickly assimilate certain behaviors. The style of play intends to define the behaviors or solutions that the players and the team must implement to be able to meet key football objectives, which are to score and prevent the opposite team to score. This implies that, through instructions and/or training tasks, the players will be able to respond effectively in concrete game situations. For example, when the opposition team applies a high pressure producing a turnover in a given area of the field. Nevertheless, this concept raises several questions: Are there ideal solutions for match situations, which, despite similarities, will never be exactly the same? Should specific behaviors be automated or stabilized, or should we prepare the player to face unpredictable situations? Who will perform better — teams trained to execute and repeat certain behaviors or teams prepared to adapt to changing competitive environments? One of the premises that needs to be clear when trying to answer these questions is that team sports involve processes of cooperation and opposition, where the behavior of players on a team has to be predictable enough for their teammates, and unpredictable enough for their opponents (Hristovski, 2017) to meet specific goals (for example, winning one-on-one situations) and the global goal (winning the match). If we take a look at the upper panels in Figure 1 we can see a situation in which the central midfielder of the first team of Barcelona FC, Sergi Busquets, is trying to give continuity to the play, avoiding the pressure from his direct opponent. In the upper left panel, it looks like Busquets is going to pass the ball to his fullback’s right. However, if we look at the next second at right we can see that the way he positioned his leg was simply a resource used to communicate false information to his direct opponent. This meant that Busquets’ subsequent dribble was not predicted by his opponent and thus he was able to withstand the harassment and progress with a pass to the opposite side of the field. The lower panels correspond to a game situation in which Barcelona FC usually comes out playing the ball short, using the goalkeeper. In the bottom left panel we can see how the team moves into position as it usually does so that the goalkeeper can pass (the ball) to one of the teammates closest to him. Faced with this common player configuration, the next situation —as depicted in the lower right panel — is unpredictable, with the goalkeeper Cillessen sending a long pass to the opposite end of the field, behind the opponents’ line of defense, which is not very common for Barça, resulting in a more predictable response for some of Cillessen’s teammates than from his opponents.
