Abstract
According to the rules of the soccer game, a team consists of 11 players on the field (one of whom is the goalkeeper) who, according to their activities and position on the field are defined as defensive, midfielders, and strikers. Additionally, in relation to the playing position and the tasks deriving from these positions, the players of a team can be classified as midfielders, wings, defensive and offensive players. Analysis of application of certain soccer technical elements, depending on the team position of the players is the base of planning and operationalization of the training methodology and training of every professional soccer team. The research results were obtained from a group sample of subjects and the data were collected about each player's ball activities. Thus, they were divided into 5 sub-samples: central defensive (CD), defensive wing (BD), defensive midfielder (DM), offensive midfielder (OM) and strikers (N). The observation protocol was used for each game separately, and each player individually. A total of 5 variables were observed: kicking the ball, receiving the ball, dribbling, taking away the ball and carrying the ball. Based on the obtained results it is concluded that most kicking and ball receiving were deployed by defensive midfielders while taking away the ball, as technical element was mostly used by defensive players. The largest number of dribbling were performed by offensive midfielders who are given the responsibility and creativity in the attack phase because by longer ball control by carrying and dribbling they create a surplus of players on a particular part of the field. Offensive midfielders and strikers much less participate in the activities of their team.
