Volume 1 Chapter 439 Player Database

Ye Qiu doesn't want to be paid more attention to himself, he doesn't want everyone to focus on his dual identity as the largest shareholder of the brokerage company, he wants everyone to pay attention to his identity as the owner of Tottenham Hotspur and the head coach.

But he knew very well that sooner or later the old pattern would be broken, and since Italy was the first to break this pattern a few years later, now he felt that it was up to him to break it and carry it forward.

Eliza is very typhoon, not to mention beautiful, dressed very elegantly, behaves calmly, has a pleasant voice, stands on the main podium, is generous, with her words and deeds, there is a moving flavor, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a woman who is about to run for three, but more like a young girl full of vitality and vitality.

And it is precisely her innocence with a bit of mature charm that is extraordinarily charming.

"What I want to say is that this is not a unique ban of our agency, this is an open platform, and I can even say that in the future, we will gradually transform and be more engaged in commercial development, advertising and sponsorship and other peripheral industries, and gradually break away from the player transfer market."

This is a kind of high-end and low-end difference, player transfer has always been a low-end industry, is hard work, but commercial development and advertising sponsorship, this is the high-end and high value-added sports industry, especially for a professional player packaging and operation, it is simply a profitable business.

From the beginning of Ye Qiu's cooperation with Eliza Moon, they have established that they want to take the high-end route, so over the years, the agent company has developed very rapidly, but there are not many players signed, basically concentrated in the highest-end layer, or the players coached by Ye Qiu, and the others are basically not signed.

This also makes the agency from the beginning with the peers have little competition, but also allows the company to focus more on commercial development and advertising sponsorship and other high-end business, now in the world of all the brokerage companies, they are the most professional and the most capable of operating a player's commercial development and image packaging.

For Ye Qiu and Eliza, since they want to take the high-end route, they have to put themselves in a neutral position and abandon some low-end, low-value-added businesses, so that others are willing to cooperate with you.

Just like Ye Zi Technology's mobile phone, Ye Qiu positioned the highest-end from the beginning, and then opened the low-end market to other mobile phone manufacturers to do, and even Ye Qiu was thinking that if one day Zeus mobile phones could not be sold, he would consider putting it away and specializing in the research and development of high-end mobile phone systems and mobile phone hardware and applications, so as to make himself an innovative company like Microsoft.

"We have created an open platform, it is the largest and most complete player database in the world, we currently have more than 60,000 full match videos in it, and we will add 500 more every week, we have more than 30 professional analysts to analyze and integrate these game videos and data for all football clubs in the world."

There are many teams that have their own player databases, such as Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal, and the more modern scouting systems have such databases, but they must not be so large and complete

But the database is only one part of the story, and the key is in terms of user experience and ease of application.

In addition to the large and complete data of this scout database of the agent company, there are many innovations, and with Eliza Moon showing them one by one, they are all presented in front of everyone on the scene, and they are full of surprise.

For example, the database can allow scouts to edit all the on-ball and off-ball movements of a particular player in a game, or even make a separate video for download, which can make scouting more targeted and more convenient.

In addition, everyone can access this platform through p laptops, mobile phones and other terminals, because on p laptops, there will be special software programs, and mobile phones have special APp applications, and even they can take mobile phones while shooting player videos and upload them to the platform.

Of course, in order to serve every customer, you can choose to keep it private, or choose to make it public.

All agents can also use this method to upload their players' videos and videos, and through the public way, you can βŠ₯ the whole world to watch their players' game videos and videos at the same time, and the platform allows agents to establish files for each player, improve the information, and set up a variety of tags, such as the advantages and disadvantages of their players, some hard requirements for their players' transfers, or some hopes and messages, etc.

Not only that, but the platform also has a dedicated community forum service βŠ₯that allows everyone to communicate openly and confidentially on the forum, and even allows player agents and teams to post player transfer information on it

For example, if my players want to transfer, what kind of team they want to go to, what kind of salary and team positioning they want to get, etc., they can choose to post on the forum, and all those who register in this forum are strictly evaluated.

For example, the team's staff has to provide their own employment reports, agents have to submit their agent certificates, and some commercial users will be introduced one after another, such as some sponsors, some industrial developers, etc.

Of course, for example, some transfer secret sections will definitely not allow sponsors and industry developers to enter, which will ensure absolute secrecy, and even the forum will set up different private sections according to the player's agent and the level of the team, let alone open a private chat.

The annual fee for each user is 10,000 euros, but does not take a cut from the player's transfer and commercial sponsorship

From this point on, everyone can rest assured that there will be no need to worry about leaks, because it will be difficult for journalists and fans to enter it, and it will also be able to ensure that privacy is not leaked to the maximum extent, and at the same time, a part of the benefits will be shared

In less than 20 minutes on stage, Eliza kept showing a variety of perfect services and facilities on the platform, especially some humanized designs, such as player selection can be screened and selected according to age, whether it is the European Union, location, etc.

"Not only this platform, but every year, we will hold two forums like this, which will be scheduled for the last few days of summer transfers and winter breaks, and from next season, we will gradually open the access to the forums for teams from La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1, and finally transform the forum into a global football economic forum"

Eliza Moon said this ambitious goal and expectation at the end of her speech, which shocked and amazed everyone present, because if it really goes that far, it will completely revolutionize all existing transfer models.

Ferguson, Wenger and others all sat in the first row, accompanying Ye Qiu, and none of them thought that Ye Qiu's launch would be such a big deal, which was not only shocking, but simply wanted to break the current transfer and football market pattern.

If this platform is really made, the flow of players in the future will become more convenient and efficient than it is now.

Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but think of Platini's appreciation of Ye Qiu a few days ago, and now that he thinks about it, Platini obviously knows the ideas and creativity of Ye Qiu and Eliza Moon, so this time Secretary General David Taylor will be allowed to come to the scene to show that this initiative has been affirmed and supported by UEFA

"This big deal of yours is indeed big enough" Wenger sat aside and said to Ye Qiu with a wry smile.

His team has been playing for so many years, and has accumulated nearly 10,000 players' data collection, and the video is less than one-tenth, but now Ye Qiu's shot is 60,000 video videos of the whole game, and they are from all over the world, so that the players' videos will definitely be more and more comprehensive, which is indeed terrifying.

Data is king, and everyone knows that the more data a platform like this collects, the more attractive it becomes.

Ye Qiu smiled, but in his heart, he was thinking that the scouting system of the Dutch team has accumulated over the years is beyond the reach of other league teams in a short period of time, especially for teams like Ajax, Eindhoven, and Feyenoord, their collection of players from all over the world is amazing.

Of course, 60,000 is just the beginning, and more will be collected in the future, but when the time comes, it will have to be done by agents and part-time scouts from all over the world, after all, one person, or even a group of people, will never be able to compare to the general public.

"I'm very strange, since there is such a platform, why do you want to have a forum?" Ferguson asked, frowning.

Ye Qiu smiled, "The platform is the platform, the forum is the forum, and the forum will be held in the next few days in the transfer market, the purpose is to attract those teams who are still hesitating, and provide them with an opportunity to meet the player's agent face-to-face, or the other club's officials, face-to-face, and win trust." ”

"Maybe they had already talked about it before they met, but for the sake of safety, they decided to find a chance to meet, and the forum provided them with such an opportunity, and of course, there are other benefits, such as the major football associations and even the UEFA registration office will be located in the forum venue."

After hearing this, Ferguson couldn't help but nod again and again, and asked with a smile: "Frankly, how many customers do you have now?" ”

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, "This is confidential"

When Ferguson and Wenger heard this, they immediately laughed and scolded, and they even played mysterious.

Benitez on the side said coldly, "There seem to be several teams in La Liga that have joined." ”

When Fat Bei said this, Ye Qiu couldn't deny it, and nodded with a smile, "That's why we are so confident that we will join La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 next year, and even the Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League, and complete the celebration of major European leagues." ”

When he said this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but say again: "Actually, I don't know if you have noticed it, maybe you haven't noticed, that is, the salaries of players are rising, the salaries of head coaches are rising, the salaries of coaching staff and even employees in many clubs are rising, but the salaries of our scouts seem to have not increased for many years." ”

According to a detailed market collection report obtained by Ye Qiu, the average salary of scouts in England's four professional league clubs is basically based on the principle of distribution according to work, which means that you can only get a fee for each player scouting report you submit, and the average is four pounds

Of course, scouts can get a monthly salary from the club every month, but this salary is so low that you can't even believe in yourself, and you can't even support yourself, let alone your family, so you have to find another well-paid job for yourself to support yourself, so most of the scouts are part-time.

The reason why Sevilla FC has been able to bring in so many cheap stars is that they have 700 scouts outside, but all of them are part-time, and each scout submits an analysis report of a player to get an income ranging from four to ten euros depending on the report, and their base salary is almost negligible.

So, for Sevilla, it's not difficult at all to feed these scouts.

There is another type of scout who specializes in tactical scouting, which is called tactical scouting, that is, scouting opponents, which is done by watching the game, so when they submit the game report and analysis, they can get reimbursement for the cost of tickets and some appropriate travel expenses, but the average reward for each game is four pounds in the Premier League.

But if you look at it this way, you may think that tactical scouts are obviously much more profitable than player scouts, but the problem is that tactical scouts must write a match analysis report after observing the game, and each team has requirements for the length of the game analysis report in order to avoid scouting fraud, at least 10 pages or more, and even up to 20 pages.

Tottenham Hotspur currently has a scouting system with less than ten real full-time players, including Peter de Visser, and the other nine full-time scouts are either in charge of analysis and collection at the Theobold training base, or they are distributed all over the world, specializing in a certain area, developing the club's scouting network and system, and of course attracting some part-time scouts to work for the club.

Next, according to Ye Qiu and Eliza's vision, the platform will also absorb this huge group of scouts, expand and improve the platform's player database in the shortest possible time, and they also believe that this can create a new opportunity for scouts to change the traditional interests and working models between them and the club

Ye Qiu even asked Eliza to contact Sky TV to see if the other party was willing to sell OpT.

After the data company was acquired by Sky TV, the scale gradually expanded, but he did not have many employees, only a few dozen people, and the company was not large, but it was already a very authoritative banner in football data, and now it was able to obtain tens of millions of euros in turnover every year by selling data alone, but the overall market value was not too high, and the acquisition was not difficult, but it was a very necessary supplement to the scouting data platform, after all, the concept of platform building is that data is king, and OpTAR authoritative data is undoubtedly necessary.

After Eliza Moon introduced the features and services of the player database platform, the football economic forum officially began, but don't imagine that it will be an orderly venue, because you will be disappointed.

Although everyone who entered the venue looked polite and polite in well-fitting suits and carefully selected ties, when the forum began to operate, you will find that they are all rushing forward completely regardless of their image.

Because this year's forum attracts teams from all four levels of England, and the most notable of them is undoubtedly the 20 Premier League teams, so the Premier League teams, especially the top ones, have attracted the most independent agents, who want to recommend their players to these clubs.

For a while, the areas where these clubs are located are overcrowded and overwhelmed, and in terms of the number of people on the scene, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have attracted the most independent agents, while Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton and other teams are close behind, and the others are similar, and even many Championship teams are also quite popular.

For these clubs, they have nothing to lose, and participating in such a forum allows them to get the data of many players submitted by their agents, and it is also a platform for them to present themselves to all teams and agents.

Ye Qiu and the others all smiled bitterly when they saw such a lively and chaotic scene.

"Perhaps, you guys will be interested in VIp," Ye Qiu smiled and suggested a separate area next door.

The so-called VI is actually some big-name agents, such as the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes's agency arranged for a vice president to come to the scene to recommend his players to some potential customers, and Brazil's Juan Figer, who also arranged for his son and an executive to come to the venue.

Even Ferguson's son's agency came, but they didn't know the specific content and project beforehand.

After hearing this, Ferguson seemed to be really moved, and walked over with a smile, ready to see and know, and by the way, it would be good to know a few people, after all, he has been mixed in the football circle for many years, and there are still a lot of familiar agents, and there will naturally be some independent agents along the way who will stuff some players' information and reports into Ferguson's hands.

The Scots seemed to be quite happy too, and laughed and laughed.

Seeing that Ferguson was gone, Wenger and Benitez also left one after another, and Mourinho glanced at Ye Qiu with some envy and hatred, and also walked towards the VIp box where Jorge Mendes was, even if he was not very willing, but he had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Ye Qiu in terms of innovation.

Ye Qiu was not too surprised by the chaos on the scene, because this was a rare opportunity for independent agents, and they didn't hurry up to recommend their players to the football club?

Don't think that only the big teams attract the attention of agents, in fact, on the contrary, as long as you know how to operate, small teams often have many advantages that big teams do not have, and even small teams will have more opportunities.

Ye Qiu has a hunch that there will not be too many transactions after the most difficult of this year's football economic forum, and if there is no accident, it should be a small team, which is an experience of losing money and making money, but it is an important process and stage for the player database platform to make its name and gradually build this football economic forum into a brand.

Ye Qiu himself doesn't need any players, and at present, Tottenham Hotspur is very reasonable on all fronts, and he has no need for the time being.

But he didn't have this kind of thought, but it didn't mean that no one would take the initiative to come to the door.

In fact, it didn't take long for an independent agent to come to the door and come to recommend their players
