Results of the linear mixed models with the physical, technical, and success parameters as dependent variable. The coefficients of the effects (β), the standard error (SE), the 95% confidence interval and the z-and according p-values are presented. The fixed effect playing style coefficient [PSC] and the random effects team and offensive formation are distinguished. If a random effect was excluded the row was labelled with ‘not included’.
