Abstract
Social network analysis is the social statistical analysis of any social structure involving a stream of mutual information between observations. In this study we used the results of passes between players in a soccer game. The analysis contents are as follows. (1) Players with important or leading roles are identified. (2) Players are assessed by pass frequency and the success rate of passes. The purpose of this study is for use as basic data for future team strategy, and achieves this by evaluating the role of each individual player within a team. In this study, social network analysis without separating positions is conducted, and is also performed for defensive and attacking positions respectively. The results of this study are as follows: First, when complete team data were available, the players performing leadership roles were Jung-woo Kim, Sung-yeung Ki and Chung-young Lee, whereas Jeong-su Lee acted as a sub-leader. In case of data for defensive positions Jeong-su Lee was a leading player, and in terms of attacking positions, all of the players excelled in the game and could be evaluated as playing lead roles.
