For each player from his high resolution trajectory, spatio-temporal correlation based metrics were calculated with the other players (teammates and opponents) and the ball, in order to identify the highly correlated segments (HCS) .
This study followed a cross-sectional design in which the spatial coordinates of all players were collected, during the entire duration of the analyzed matches. For each player from his high resolution trajectory, spatio-temporal correlation based metrics were calculated with the other players (teammates and opponents) and the ball, in order to identify the highly correlated segments (HCS) . After calculating the HCS for each pair of players, individual scores and team scores were produced and
