Volume 1 Chapter 542 The Power of Technology
Theobald training base is undoubtedly a bright star in the hearts of Tottenham Hotspur fans, it is not only the heart of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the reserve army youth camp of Tottenham Hotspur, and more importantly, it is the most modern and high-tech super five-star training base recognized by everyone in the world.
Almost anyone who walks into Theobald's training base will be amazed by everything about it, not only is it picturesque, but more importantly, it is equipped with some of the best high-tech training methods in the world.
With the improvement of leaf technology, equipped with the most advanced sensors, the football training room has been improved more and more advanced, the training effect is getting better and better, and the speed and angle can be adjusted, which is known by many as the secret of Tottenham Hotspur's ability to come up with a smooth passing and receiving coordination on the pitch.
Of course, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that the training room is all about the skill level of the players.
In the past two or three years, Theorebold has been introducing some high-tech equipment, such as anti-gravity treadmills and hypnotic meditation houses, and these high-tech training equipment have unconsciously helped players achieve training effects and assist players to make progress, so in the past few years, it is not difficult to see what Tottenham Hotspur has achieved in this regard.
The R&D center is arguably the heart of the Theobald training base, with almost all the high-tech equipment, from the gymnasium in the training building to the training grounds for the first team and youth teams, almost all connected to this low bungalow.
In Peter Brandt's eyes, the most valuable equipment in the R&D center is not those equipment, because after the equipment is developed, it is very easy to build another one, especially with the scientific research strength of Leaf Technology as the backing, it is almost nothing.
The key is the data, a lot of player stats that have been accumulated over the last three years.
Some people may not believe it, after selling Vanney to Real Madrid, there was a time when Vanney was injured, and the Real Madrid team doctor made a very professional diagnosis, but Vanney had doubts about this, so he called Ye Qiu, extracted some of his past data and injuries from the research center, and then found another expert in Madrid to diagnose, and it turned out that Real Madrid's team doctor was ridiculously wrong, if it really went according to his plan, it might make Vanney retire early.
It was this turmoil that made the research center of Theobald's training base widely known, and everyone knew that Tottenham Hotspur had such a scientific research institution far beyond other teams such as AC Milan, and even many teams wanted to be able to enter Theobold's R&D center to visit, but Tottenham Hotspur refused.
What is a trade secret? Trade secrets are only for you to listen to, not for you to see, and to kill you
However, the Theobold training base has not stopped at all, Peter Brandt has continued to develop, and Tottenham Hotspur has supported some students from Cambridge and Oxford universities who are interested in sports science, either to enter Theobold for scientific research or to support them in forming research and development teams.
Recently, a student at Cambridge University proposed a very creative idea to Peter Brandt, which was fully affirmed by Peter Brandt, and then Ye Qiu also agreed to this plan, and invited relevant experts from Leaf Technology to come to London to participate in research and development.
This system is actually very simple, that is, all the data is more intuitively reflected through dD animation, so that the team's coaching staff can get more detailed analysis results, instead of a lot of dazzling data.
But if it's just that, it's not worth Ye Qiu's excitement, what he really values is the application of sensors.
In the past three years, Tottenham Hotspur has maintained the use of sensors on the training ground, mainly in the hands, feet and other parts, through the way of hand and foot bracelets to collect player data for the research center, but as the sensor has the ability to make smaller and more refined, it can be applied to a wider range of fields.
For example, if Ribery's injury has accurate sensors that can accurately obtain the data of his injury, such as the pressure on his ankle when he runs normally, or the pressure when he sprints, or the pressure when he does movements, etc., then combined with his specific recovery, it is easy to get a result, whether he needs to reduce training and competitions, or reduce a certain aspect of training, to improve his recovery speed, or to avoid injuries.
The same method can also be used to maintain the state of movement, or to prevent player injuries, etc., because it can help players to intuitively detect which specific details have problems or hidden dangers through daily training, and through long-term data accumulation and comparison, a conclusion can be clearly reached and judged.
But don't think that's all, on the contrary, it's only part of it.
Another very important advantage of converting data into 30 animations is that it can help the team and coaching staff to better analyze, through the comparison between different players, through this simulation of skills, to see the specific skills of this player and other characteristics, to see if he can have a good match with the team
At the same time, he can also provide a reference to the coaching staff to help the players improve their technical movements and details.
For example, if a player makes a mistake in passing the ball, the coaching staff can clearly determine what is wrong with the player's passing through the data into animations and the specific surveillance footage. Is it because the leg strength is not sufficient? Or is his body not balanced enough? Or is his heel in the wrong position?
If you take it a step further, it can even ⊥ you see exactly how to improve and where to start, which can help players become more efficient and more successful.
This can not only be used in passes, shots, tackles, saves, etc., in all aspects, every player in all positions can get such data and analysis, and this will bring huge changes to the whole team, produce great help, and will also greatly improve the success rate of the academy.
The meditation room is very popular with players for the simple reason that it allows players to relive the moment of their mistakes in a semi-hypnotic state through hypnosis, which is a bit immersive and allows players to experience what they are doing wrong.
Because only by figuring out what mistakes you make can you better improve your mistakes.
And now this system is going in a different way, he uses the simulation animation generated by the data, very clearly and straightforwardly, in the process of your mistake, which part of the problem occurred, whether it is the hand or the foot, or what affects your action, directly and clearly pointed out to you.
You say it clearly enough, the player remembers it, next time he will pay attention and improve it, that's an improvement.
Tottenham Hotspur has accumulated data from players over the past three years, and although many of these data are not perfect, these data themselves are the biggest foundation of this system, and with such a large number of data as a backing, then Tottenham Hotspur has enough ability to complete this system.
Of course, it's not just for Tottenham Hotspur, it's also for Leaf Tech.
As Ye Qiu said before, in the entire intelligent ecosystem, wearable devices will only be an auxiliary and a supplement, and don't always think about making watches and glasses into mobile phones, because there is no conflict between them, not that you don't need a mobile phone if you have watches and glasses, there should be a reasonable division of labor and complementarity between them.
Just as voice is applicable to smart cars and smart watches, he must first be a watch, and he must figure out why people want to wear watches, and then further develop the functions of the watch on this basis, and replace it with watches or glasses in some inconvenient places for mobile phones.
For example, on the football training ground, mobile phones are completely useless, and Tottenham Hotspur's training ground is not allowed to have mobile phones, and with mobile phones, how can players train? Even a watch can't be carried, so Tottenham Hotspur is working with Adidas and Leaf Technology to put sensors on some players' personal items such as sneakers, socks, jerseys, wrist guards, and shin guards, which will not affect the players' training and comfort, and can collect data.
And the same is true for wearable devices, when exercising, or when some mobile phones are inconvenient to take out, watches and glasses can play some role, but this is by no means to let watches and glasses replace mobile phones, because it is impossible.
In Ye Qiu's words, it must first be a watch, a watch that can attract people to buy and make people feel satisfied, and then it is a smart wearable device, otherwise, just like Ye Qiu's previous life, the watch is designed to be a vulgar thing similar to an electronic watch, even if you add any intelligence to it, concepts such as curved screens can't change the reality that it is not accepted by the public.
It can be said that Ye Technology will also get more experience in the research and development of sports and wearable devices from this cooperation with Tottenham Hotspur, and can also get a lot of professional opinions and suggestions from Tottenham Hotspur.
"Coming back from vacation?" Peter Brandt saw Ye Qiu walk into his office, and said with a look of envy and hatred.
Now the entire Tottenham Hotspur first-team coaching staff, his group is still working, and everyone else is on vacation.
However, he will not be unhappy, on the contrary, he is happy, because he clearly sees that if this system and equipment are completed, then their workload will be greatly reduced in the future, and the work efficiency will be greatly improved.
What's more, they will no longer be consumables for Tottenham, but a department that can help Tottenham Hotspur generate profits, as they have filed a number of patents for this, and if successful, the entire system and equipment will be open to the public.
As you can imagine, football is just one of the markets, but basketball, volleyball, badminton, and almost all sports and competitive fields are potential customers for this system and equipment, and Tottenham Hotspur and Leaf Tech will benefit greatly from the licensing fee.
That's the power of technology
"How's it going?" Ye Qiu didn't have much of a good mood and sat down directly in front of Peter Brandt.
He just went to the site to take a look, engineers and R&D personnel are in full swing of debugging, and according to them, it is expected that after the team returns to the Theobald training base in August, the whole system and equipment will be commissioned, but the next period of time is still in the run-in period, only the run-in is mature, improved and perfected, can be regarded as a success.
But this is only one generation, and if it works well, they will continue to develop a new generation of products.
"Almost" Peter Brandt was very satisfied with the progress, "By the way, I can't accompany the team on this trip to the United States, you have to pay attention to yourself, I will arrange people to go with you, I believe there will be no problems"
Ye Qiu also knew about this for a long time, Peter Brandt needed to stay and sit in the research and development work of Theobold, and the North American trip was only a short time, mainly to collect some players' data and provide some season training camps! For reference, it's not a big problem, and it won't make any difference if he, the head of the department, goes with him or not.
"What? Doesn't seem like you're in a good mood? Peter Brandt noticed Ye Qiu's expression, a little depressed.
"How can you be in a good mood when someone digs into the corner of the wall and digs into the door?" Ye Qiu made a joke.
Peter Brandt laughed, at least in his opinion, Ye Qiu was still able to make jokes now, proving that he didn't actually have any big problems, or rather, his unhappiness was only temporary, and it would be fine after a while.
For someone of his level, there are very few things that can make him unhappy.
"I've heard that the poaching of Tottenham Hotspur is very fierce outside," Peter Brandt stood up, a little embarrassed, "It reminds me of Ajax in the 90s, when almost every summer, all the big teams and wolves stared at Ajax, like a perverted old man staring at a beautiful woman who was stripped naked." ”
"Wow" Ye Qiu didn't expect that Peter Brandt, who usually looked like an old pedant, would have such a heavy taste, and he was a little surprised to laugh.
"I'm not wrong, it's the most vivid metaphor," Peter Brandt replied in a serious way
But sometimes, jokes are jokes that tell the most humorous jokes with the most serious expressions, and this kind of comedy has the best effect.
Therefore, Ye Qiu really laughed.
"But sometimes, I wonder which team, even the big teams, who hasn't been poached? Who can guarantee that their players will always be loyal to them? ”
Peter Brandt's words made Ye Qiu have some associations and resonances.
In fact, all big teams will inevitably have troughs and peaks, they have poaching others, but there are also times when they are poached, but the reason why giants are giants is because they can have a good mechanism to avoid risks and crises in the face of these difficulties.
If you will always have smooth sailing, let's not talk about whether this is possible, just say one thing, that is, when the crisis comes, it will be a disaster for you, so many times the team recruits and sells, not only to replenish fresh blood, stimulate the competitive atmosphere in the team, and complete the function of metabolism, but also more importantly, to form an anti-risk mechanism.
What would happen if Tottenham Hotspur's current group of players were allowed to retire?
The answer is that Tottenham Hotspur may be completely uncompetitive after five years, because everyone has lost interest in the current state of the team, lost its freshness, and even lost the fighting spirit of the players themselves.
Therefore, sometimes being poached or recruited is not necessarily a bad thing.
"You see, Ajax has been poached miserably and has been through a period of slump, but how would you have been on the coaching staff of Ajax if it hadn't been for Mr Van Praag who announced in '99 that some of the sports academy graduates would have been brought in from the outside world, and how could Ajax have a resurgence if they hadn't brought you in?"
"Crisis crisis, it is because there is danger that it is organic" Peter Brandt didn't know when he said it, and the words he said were all set in a set, and there was even a little bit of truth, which Ye Qiu had never thought of before.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm not wrong, it's just that you rarely sit like this and talk to me about your heart" Peter Brandt's words sounded, Ye Qiu felt weird, as if it was a little ambiguous
But he is well aware that Peter Brandt has a wife and children, and his sexual orientation is absolutely normal
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu walked out of Peter Brandt's office and did not disturb the Dutch doctor to continue his work.
As soon as he left the house, he made a phone call to Peter Kenyon.
"Agree with Real Madrid's transfer of Gareth Bale and Arbeloa, but say that it is not for sale, I think their offer is too low, you have to talk to them again, at least you have to raise the price a little bit."
"Leave it to me" Peter Kenyon understood what Ye Qiu meant, and immediately nodded on the other side of the phone in agreement.
Ye Qiu quickly hung up the phone, and then called the chief scout Peter Devisel, who was on vacation, after all, scouts have no holidays, this old guy is lazy, so Ye Qiu unceremoniously told him that the team needs a left back, preferably a stronger defensive ability.
Peter De Visser also said on the phone that he would give Ye Qiu a report within three days, after all, now Tottenham Hotspur's scouting system is informatized, coupled with the huge data of the player database, it is not a big problem to find a left-back.
After doing these things, Ye Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and completed a task on his mind.
But just as he hung up the phone, and before he could even put it back in his trouser pocket, the phone in his hand rang again.
