The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 531 The Power of Technology

Theobald Training Base is undoubtedly a bright star in the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur fans. It is not only the heart of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the reserve youth training camp of Tottenham Hotspur. The important thing is that this is the most modern and technological super five-star training base recognized by everyone in the world.

Almost everyone who walks into Theobald Training Base will be amazed by everything here. It is not only picturesque, but more importantly, it is equipped with the world's top high-tech training methods.

Under 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 also be adjusted, which is called by many people as Tot The reason why Nam Tottenham can present the mystery of smooth passing and receiving cooperation on the court.

Of course, saying this would exaggerate the significance of the training room, because the most important thing is the player's own technical level.

In the past two or three years, Theobald has continuously introduced some high-tech equipment, such as anti-gravity treadmills, hypnotic meditation rooms, and these high-tech training equipment help players achieve training effects unconsciously , assisting players to improve, so it is not difficult to see what Tottenham have achieved in this regard in the past few years.

The research and development center can be said to be the heart of Theobald training base. Almost all high-tech equipment, from the gymnasium in the training building to the training grounds for the first team and youth teams, are almost all connected to this piece of low bungalow.

In the eyes of Peter Brandt, the most valuable thing in the R&D center is not the equipment, because after the equipment is developed, it is very easy to rebuild another one, especially with the scientific research strength of Leaf Technology as the backing, it is almost nothing thing.

The key is the data, a pile of player data accumulated over the past three years.

Some people may still not believe it. After selling Van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid, Van Nistelrooy was injured once. The Real Madrid team doctor made a very professional diagnosis, but Van Nistelrooy had doubts about it, so So I called Ye Qiu, extracted some of his past data and injuries from the research center, and then found another expert in Madrid to make a diagnosis. It turned out that the team doctor of Real Madrid was wrong. If the plan is carried out, it may cause Van Nistelrooy to retire early.

It was this turmoil that made the research center of Theobald Training Base widely known. Everyone knows that Tottenham Hotspur has such a scientific research institution far surpassing other teams such as AC Milan, and even has many players. The team hoped to enter Theobald's research and development center for a visit, but they were all rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.

What is a commercial secret?Commercial secrets are only for you to listen to, but not for you to see, it will kill you!
But the Theobald training base did not stop at all because of this. Peter Brandt continued to develop, and Tottenham Hotspur even supported some players from Cambridge and Oxford. College students who are interested in science, either enter Theobald for scientific research work, or support them to form a research and development team.

Recently, a student from Cambridge University proposed a very creative idea to Peter Brandt, which was fully affirmed by Peter Brandt. Afterwards, Ye Qiu also agreed to this plan and invited Leaf Technology Relevant experts came to London to participate in the research and development work, and in the past few days, engineers have been arranged to come to build the entire system.

This system is actually very simple to say, it is to show all the data more intuitively through 3D animation, so that the coaching staff of the team can get more detailed analysis results, instead of a lot of people watching Dazzling data.

But if it's just that, it's not worth it for Ye Qiu to make such a big move. What he really values ​​is the application of sensors.

In the past three years, Tottenham Hotspur's training ground has maintained the use of sensors, mainly in some parts such as hands and feet, which are worn by means of wrist and ankle rings to collect player data for the research center , but as the sensor has the ability to become smaller and more refined, it can be applied to a wider range of fields.

To give an example, just like Ribery's injury, if there is an accurate sensor, the data of his injury can be accurately obtained, such as the pressure on his ankle during normal running, or the pressure during sprinting , or the pressure when doing movements, etc., then combined with his specific rehabilitation situation, it is easy to get a result, whether he needs to reduce training and competitions, or reduce a certain aspect of training items to improve his performance. Speed ​​of recovery, or avoiding injury.

The same method can also be used to maintain the state of motion, or to prevent player injuries, because it can help players to detect very well and intuitively which specific details have problems or hidden dangers through daily training. , Through long-term data accumulation and comparison, a conclusion can be clearly reached and a judgment can be made.

But don't think that's all there is, on the contrary, it's just part of it.

Another very important advantage of converting data into 3D animation is that it can help the team and the coaching staff to analyze better. Through the comparison between different players, through this simulation technology, it can be seen that this A player's specific skills and other characteristics to see if he can cooperate well with the team.

At the same time, he can also provide a reference for the coaching staff to help players improve their technical movements and details.

To give an example, suppose a player makes a mistake in passing the ball. By converting the data into animation and combining the specific surveillance video, the coaching staff can clearly determine which aspect the player is in when passing the ball. What's wrong?Is it because the strength of the legs is not enough?Or is his body not balanced enough?Or is his heel contact with the ball wrong?
If you go a step further, it can even let you clearly see how to improve and where to start, which can help players become more efficient and more successful.

This is not only in passing, shooting, stealing, saving, etc., in all aspects, every player in all positions can get such data and analysis, and this will bring huge benefits to the entire team Changes will bring great benefits, and will also greatly increase the success rate of youth training.

The reason why the meditation room is very popular with players is very simple. Through hypnosis, players can relive the moment when they make mistakes in a semi-hypnotic state. It is a bit immersive and allows players to understand why they made mistakes.

Because only by figuring out why you made a mistake, can you better improve your mistakes.

But now this system is taking another way. It uses the simulation animation generated by the data to tell you clearly and straightforwardly which part of you has a problem in the process of making mistakes, whether it is a hand or a foot. , or what affected your action, I will point it out to you directly and clearly.

If you speak clearly enough and the player remembers it, he will pay attention next time and improve. This is a kind of progress.

Tottenham Hotspur has accumulated player data for the past three years. Although many of the data are not perfect, the data itself is the biggest foundation of this system. With such a huge data as support, then Tottenham Tottenham have enough ability to complete this system.

Of course, this is not only useful for Tottenham Hotspur, but also for Leaf Technology.

As Ye Qiu said before, in the entire smart ecosystem, wearable devices will only be an auxiliary, a supplement, instead of always thinking about turning watches and glasses into mobile phones, because there is no difference between them. The conflict does not mean that if you have a watch and glasses, you don’t need a mobile phone. There should be a reasonable division of labor and complementarity between them.

Just as voice is suitable for smart cars and smart watches, he must first be a watch. We must figure out why people wear watches, and then further develop the functions of watches on this basis. In some places where mobile phones are inconvenient, the watch Or glasses to take its place.

For example, on the football training ground, mobile phones are completely useless. Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground is not allowed to have mobile phones, and with mobile phones, how do players train?Even wearing a watch is not enough, so Tottenham Hotspur is cooperating with Adidas and Leaf Technology to put sensors on some personal items such as sneakers, socks, jerseys, wrist guards, shin pads, etc. Player training and comfort can also collect data.

The same is true for wearable devices. Watches and glasses can play a role when exercising or when some mobile phones are inconvenient to take out, but this is by no means to let watches and glasses replace mobile phones, because it is impossible of.

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, it will be like Ye Qiu's previous life. It is designed as an old-fashioned electronic watch, even if you add some intelligence to it, such as a curved screen, it will not change the reality that it is not accepted by the public.

It can be said that Leaf Technology will also gain more experience in sports and wearable device research and development from this cooperation with Tottenham Hotspur, and can also get a lot of professional experience from Tottenham Hotspur. Sexual comments and suggestions.

"Back from vacation?" Peter Brandt said enviously when he saw Ye Qiu walk into his office.

Now the entire Tottenham Hotspur first-team coaching staff, only his group is still working, and everyone else is on vacation.

But he will not feel unhappy, on the contrary, he is very happy, because he clearly sees that if this set of system and equipment is completed, their workload will be greatly reduced in the future, and the work Efficiency will be greatly improved.

More importantly, they will no longer be Tottenham Hotspur's consumables, but a department that can help Tottenham Hotspur generate profits, because they have applied for a lot of patents for this. The entire system and equipment will be open to the outside world.

It is conceivable that football is only one of the markets, but basketball, volleyball, badminton and almost all sports and competitive fields are potential customers of this set of systems and equipment. By charging patent licensing fees, Tottenham Hotspur and Leaf Technology All will benefit greatly from it.

This is the power of technology!
"How's it going?" Ye Qiu wasn't in a good mood, and sat down in front of Peter Brandt.

He just went to the site to take a look. The engineers and R&D personnel are intensively debugging. According to them, after the team returns to the Theobald training base in August, the entire system and equipment will be debugged. After a period of time, it is still in the running-in period. Only when the running-in is mature and the improvement is complete, can it be considered a success.

But this is only one generation, and if it works well, they will continue to develop new generations of products.

"It's almost there!" Peter Brandt was very satisfied with the progress, "By the way, I can't accompany the team for 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. of!"

Ye Qiu also knew about this a long time ago. Peter Brandt needs to stay and take charge of Theobald's research and development work, and the North American trip is only a short time. The main purpose is to collect some player data and provide some training for the season. For reference, it's not a big problem. It won't matter if he, the head of the department, goes with him or not.

"What? It doesn't look like you're in a good mood?" Peter Brandt noticed Ye Qiu's expression, a little depressed.

"How could you be in a good mood after being poached at the door of your house?" Ye Qiu joked.

Peter Brandt laughed out loud. At least in his opinion, Ye Qiu can still make a joke now, proving that he doesn't really have any big problems, or in other words, his unhappiness is only temporary , it will be fine after some time.

For a person of his level, there are very few things that can make him unhappy.

"I heard that the poaching of Tottenham Hotspur outside is very fierce!" Peter Brandt stood up, a little bit sighing, "This reminds me of Ajax in the 90s. Almost every summer, all the giants and the Wolves stared at Ajax, just like a perverted old man staring at a beautiful woman who took off her clothes."

"Wow!" Ye Qiu did not expect that Peter Brandt, who usually looked like an old pedant, would have such a serious side, and he laughed in surprise.

"I'm not wrong, this is the most vivid metaphor!" Peter Brandt replied seriously.

But sometimes, jokes and jokes are the most humorous jokes told with the most serious expressions. This kind of comedy works best.

So, Ye Qiu really laughed out loud.

"But sometimes, I also wonder, which team, even those rich teams, has not been poached? And who can guarantee that their players will always be loyal to themselves? ?”

What Peter Brandt said made Ye Qiu associate and resonate.

In fact, all giants will inevitably have troughs and peaks. They have poach others, but they also have times when they are poached. But the reason why the giants are rich is because they face these difficulties. , can have a good mechanism to avoid risks and crises.

If you are allowed to have smooth sailing forever, let’s not talk about whether it is possible, but just say one thing, that is, when a crisis comes, it will be a disaster for you, so many times the team’s signings and sales are not just to make up for freshmen Blood stimulates the competitive atmosphere within the team and completes the function of metabolism. More importantly, it forms an anti-risk mechanism.

Assuming that the current group of Tottenham Hotspur players are allowed to stay until retirement, what will the result be?

The answer is that Tottenham Hotspur may completely lose its competitiveness after five years, because everyone has lost interest in the status quo of the team, lost its freshness, and even the players themselves have lost their fighting spirit.

Therefore, sometimes being poached or recruited is not necessarily a bad thing.

"You see, Ajax were scooped up horribly and went through a period of lows, but how would you have gotten into Ajax without Mr van Prager announcing in '99 that he was bringing in some graduates from the sports academy from the outside? coaching staff, and without you, how could Ajax usher in a revival?"

"Crisis is a crisis, it is because of danger that there is opportunity!" Peter Brandt didn't know when, what he said was always the same, and there was a little bit of truth in it, which was something Ye Qiu had never done before. thought of it.

"Don't look at me with such eyes, I'm right, but you rarely sit and chat with me like this!" Peter Brandt's words sounded, and Ye Qiu felt weird, as if a little bit. .ambiguous!

But he knew very well that Peter Brandt had a wife and children, and his sexual orientation was absolutely normal!
Having figured this out, Ye Qiu walked out of Peter Brandt's office, continuing to work without disturbing the Dutch doctor.

Immediately after he went out, he called Peter Kenyon.

"I agree with Real Madrid's transfer of Gareth Bale and Arbeloa, but said that they are not for sale. I think their offer is too low. If you have a good talk with them, at least you have to raise the price. "

"Leave it to me!" Peter Kenyon understood what Ye Qiu meant, and immediately nodded in agreement on the phone.

After Ye Qiu quickly hung up the phone, he called the chief scout, Peter DeVissel, who was on vacation. After all, scouts don't have vacations. This old guy is lazy, so Ye Qiu told him unceremoniously. , The team needs a left back, preferably one with stronger defensive capabilities.

Peter DeVissel also said on the phone that he would give Ye Qiu a report within three days. After all, Tottenham Hotspur's scouting system is now computerized, and coupled with the huge data in the player database, it is very easy to find Ye Qiu. A left back, no problem.

After finishing these things, Ye Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, and completed one thing on his mind.

But just as he hung up the phone, before he even put it back in his trouser pocket, the phone in his hand rang again.

Caller ID, Messi!
