چکیده

هدف از پژوهش حاضر بررسی تأثیر همه‌گیری کووید 19 و عدم حضور تماشاگران بر نتایج تیم‌های پرهوادار فوتبال در لیگ برتر خلیج‌فارس بود. در این پژوهش نتایج تیم‌های استقلال، پرسپولیس، سپاهان، تراکتور و فولاد خوزستان در نیم‌فصل اول لیگ نوزدهم (با حضور تماشاگران) و نیم‌فصل اول لیگ بیستم (بدون حضور تماشاگران) با استفاده از آزمون تی مقایسه شد. تحلیل یافته‌ها نشان داد که نتایج تیم‌های میزبان بدون حضور تماشاگران تفاوت معناداری با نتایج آنها با حضور تماشاگران در ورزشگاه ندارد. این عدم معناداری در تعداد بردهای خانگی تیم‌های میزبان، تعداد گل‌های زدۀ تیم‌های میزبان و تعداد کارت‌های قرمز داوران به تیم‌های میزبان مشاهده شد. این در حالی است که در تعداد کارت‌های زرد داوران به تیم‌های میزبان تفاوت معنادار بود. هرچند تماشاگران همواره نقش مؤثری در موفقیت تیم‌های میزبان داشته‌اند، اما تقویت توانایی‌های تاکتیکی و تکنیکی بازیکنان و تیم‌ها، کنترل هیجانات و استرس و فشارهای روانی بازیکنان و از همه مهم‌تر آشنایی با جو و محیط مسابقه و عادت کردن بازیکنان به حضور تماشاگران در ورزشگاه‌ها سبب شده است تا تیم‌ها و بازیکنان مهارت لازم به‌منظور کنترل فشار تماشاگران را فرا گیرند و حضور تماشاگران بر نتایج و عملکرد آنها بسیار کمرنگ شود.

چکیده [English]

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Covid 19 pandemic and the absence of spectators on the results of popular football teams in the Persian Gulf Premier League. The results of Esteghlal, Perspolis, Sepahan, Tractor, Foolad FC clubs at the first round robin stage of nineteenth season (with spectators) were compared with their results at the first round robin stage of twenty season (without spectators) using a t-test. The analysis of the findings showed that the results of the host teams without spectators were not significantly different from the match with presence of spectators at the stadiums. This lack of significance was observed in the number of home wins, the number of host teams’ goals scored, and the number of red cards shown to the host teams. However, there was a significant difference in the number of yellow card shown to the host teams. Although spectators always play an important role in the success of the host teams, strengthening the tactical and technical abilities of players and teams, managing the emotions and stress of players, and above all knowing the atmosphere and competitive environment and getting players used to spectators’ presence at the stadiums have caused the teams and players to acquire the necessary skills to control spectator pressure. Therefore, the effect of spectator presence on the results and performance of teams has been greatly diminished.
