AB  - The objective was to model the teams' styles of play (SoPs) in elite football and 
      relate them to the match result. For this, the twenty Spanish first division 
      teams in the 2016-2017 season were analysed, using nine interaction performance 
      indicators (IRi). A principal component (PC) analysis was applied. From two PCs 
      four SoPs were established: deep or high-pressure defending, and elaborate or 
      direct attack. The SoPs were distributed according to average performance 
      obtained throughout the championship. The connection between the preferred SoP 
      and the final result was estimated. Teams with elaborate offensive styles and 
      teams defensively minded got better results. In addition, most of the teams 
      showed variability in their SoP. The applications of the study are (1) the IRi 
      have served to identify SoP and can be used as a reference to optimize team 
      performance; (2) teams should have a varied SoP repertoire, as well as being 
      prepared to deal with different SoPs; (3) particular player profiles should be 
      connected with the desired SoP when creating the squad and (4) clubs should 
      develop a varied range of SoPs at their academies.
