Chapter 542: The Power of Technology
Theobord training base is undoubtedly a brilliant star in the minds of Tottenham Hotspur fans. It is not only the heart of Tottenham Hotspur, but also the youth training camp of Tottenham Hotspur’s reserve army. More importantly, it is the most modern and technological super five-star training base recognized by everyone in the world.
Almost everyone who walks into the Theobord training base will be amazed by everything here. This place is not only picturesque, but more importantly, it is equipped with the world's top high-tech training methods.
With the improvement of Yezi Technology, it is equipped with the most advanced sensors. The football training room has been improved to become more and more advanced, and the training effect is getting better and better. It can also adjust the speed and angle. This is called the mystery of Tottenham Hotspur being able to propose smooth passes and receiving on the court.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration of 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, Theobord has continuously introduced some high-tech equipment, such as anti-gravity treadmills and hypnotic meditation houses. These high-tech training equipment has unknowingly helped players achieve training results and assisted players to make progress. Therefore, in the past few years, it is not difficult to see the achievements Tottenham Hotspur has made in this regard.
The R&D center can be said to be the heart of Theobord training base. Almost all the high-tech equipment, from the gym in the training building to the training grounds of the first team and the youth team, is connected to this short bungalow.
In Peter Brandt's eyes, the most valuable equipment in the R&D center is not the equipment, because after the equipment is developed, it is very easy to build another one, especially with Yezi Technology's scientific research strength as a backing, which is almost nothing.
The key is data, a lot of player data accumulated over the past three years.
Some people may not believe it. After selling Fanny to Real Madrid, there was once when Fanny was injured. Real Madrid team doctor made a very professional diagnosis, but Fanny had some 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 it. As a result, the facts proved that Real Madrid team doctor was outrageously wrong. If he really followed his plan, it might have allowed Fanny to retire early.
It was this storm that made the research center of Theobord training base well known. Everyone knew that Tottenham Hotspur has such a scientific research institution that is far superior to other teams such as AC Milan. Many teams even hope to visit Theobord's R&D center, but they were rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.
What is commercial secret? Commercial secrets are just for you to listen to, not for you to see, and you will be greedy for you to be so greedy
But Theobord training base did not stop at all. Peter Brandt continued to develop and develop. Tottenham Hotspur even supported some college students from Cambridge and Oxford who were interested in sports science, either entered Theobord for scientific research or supported them to form R&D teams.
Recently, a student from Cambridge University proposed a very creative idea to Peter Brandt and was fully affirmed by Peter Brandt. After that, Ye Qiu also agreed to the plan and invited relevant experts from Ye Zi Technology to come to London to participate in the research and development work. In the past few days, engineers have been arranged to form a complete system.
This system is actually very simple, which is to reflect all the data more intuitively through dD animation, so that the team's coaching staff can obtain more detailed analysis results, rather than a lot of data that is dazzling.
But if it were just like this, it would not be worth Ye Qiu's great influence on Ge. What he really values is the application of sensors.
In the past three years, Tottenham Hotspur's training ground has been using sensors, mainly reflected in some parts such as hands and feet, worn by bracelets and foot rings, collecting player data for the research center. However, as the sensors become smaller and more refined, they can be applied to a wider range of fields.
For example, it is like Ribery's injury. If there are accurate sensors that can accurately obtain data on his injured area, such as the pressure on his ankle when he runs normally, the pressure during sprinting, the pressure during movements, etc., then combined with his specific recovery situation, it is easy to get a result. Whether he needs to reduce training and competitions, or reduce training programs in a certain aspect to improve his recovery speed or avoid injuries.
The same method can also be used to maintain athletic state or prevent player injuries, because it can help players intuitively detect 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 judgments can be made.
But don't think that's all, on the contrary, it's just part.
Another very important advantage of data conversion into 30 animation is that it can help the team and coaching team better analyze. Through the comparison between different players, through this simulation technology, we can see the specific technology of this player and other aspects, and see whether he can match the team well.
At the same time, he can also provide a reference to the coaching staff to help players improve their technical movements and details well.
For example, suppose a player makes a mistake in passing, and converts data into animation, combined with specific surveillance video, the coaching staff can clearly judge, in which aspect the player has problems when passing the ball? Is his leg strength not sufficient? Or is his body not balanced enough? Or is his heel ball in the wrong position?
If you go further, it can even clearly see how to improve and where to start, which can help players become more efficient and more successful.
This can not only be done in passing, shooting, steal, save, etc., every player in all aspects can get such data and analysis, which will bring huge changes to the entire team and greatly benefit, but will also greatly improve the youth training success rate.
The meditation house is very popular with players for the simple reason. It allows players to relive the moment of their mistakes in a semi-hypnotic state, which makes them feel a little immersive, allowing players to personally understand why they make mistakes.
Because only by figuring out why you make mistakes can you better improve your mistakes.
Now this system is taking another way. It uses the simulation animation generated by data to tell you clearly and bluntly which part of you has a problem in the process of this mistake, whether it is the hand or foot, or what has affected your movement, and directly point it out to you clearly.
You make it clear enough and the player remembers it, and he will pay attention to it next time and then improve it. This is an improvement.
Tottenham Hotspur has accumulated the players' data over the past three years. Although many of the data are not perfect enough, these data itself is the biggest foundation of this system. With such a huge amount of data as support, Tottenham Hotspur has enough ability to complete this system.
Of course, this is not only useful for Tottenham Hotspur, but also for Yezi Technology.
As Ye Qiu said before, in the entire smart ecosystem, wearing equipment will be just an auxiliary and a supplement. Don’t always think about making watches and glasses into mobile phones, because there is no conflict between them. It does not mean that if you have watches and glasses, you don’t need a mobile phone. They should have a reasonable division of labor and complementarity.
Just as voice is suitable for smart cars and smart watches, it must first be a watch. It 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, watches or glasses will replace them with watches or glasses.
For example, on the football training ground, mobile phones are completely useless. Tottenham Hotspur's training ground does not allow mobile phones. How can players train with mobile phones? Even with watches, so Tottenham Hotspur is cooperating with Adidas and Yezi Technology to place sensors on some players' close objects such as sneakers, socks, jerseys, wrist guards, leg guards, etc., which will not affect the players' training and comfort, but can also collect data.
The same is true for wearable devices. Watches and glasses can play some roles when exercising or when some mobile phones are inconvenient to take out, but this is by no means to replace the phone with watches and glasses, because this 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, it would be like Ye Qiu's previous life, designing the watch into something that is old-fashioned like an electronic watch. Even if you add any concepts such as a curved screen on it, it will not change the reality that it is not accepted by the public.
It can be said that Yezi Technology will also gain more experience in sports and wearable devices from this cooperation with Tottenham Hotspur, and can also get a lot of professional opinions and suggestions from Tottenham Hotspur.
"Have you come back from vacation?" Peter Brandt said with envy and hatred 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 would not be unhappy. On the contrary, he was very happy because he clearly saw that if this system and equipment were completed, their workload would be greatly reduced in the future and their work efficiency would be greatly improved.
More importantly, they will no longer be Tottenham's consumables, but rather a department that can help Tottenham generate profits, because they have applied for a lot of patents for this. Once successful, the entire system and equipment will be open to the public.
It can be imagined that football is just one of the markets, but almost all sports and competitive fields of basketball, volleyball, and badminton are potential customers of this system and equipment. By charging patent licensing fees, Tottenham and Yezi Technology will make a lot of profits.
This is the power of technology
"How is it going?" Ye Qiu was not in much good mood and sat down directly in front of Peter Brandt.
He just went to the scene to see the engineers and R&D personnel were in full swing. According to their statement, it is expected that after the team returns to the Theobord training base in August, the entire system and equipment will be debugged, but the next period is still in the running-in period. Only when the running-in is mature and improved can it be considered a success.
But this is just one generation. If the operation is good, they will continue to develop a new generation of products.
"It's almost done," Peter Brandt was very satisfied with the progress. "By the way, I can't follow the team this time in the United States. You have to pay attention to it yourself. I will arrange personnel to go with you. I believe there will be no problems."
Ye Qiu had known this a long time ago that Peter Brandt needed to stay and take charge of Theobord's research and development work, and North America only took a short time to collect some players' data and provide some seasonal training camps! Reference is not a big problem, and whether he, the department manager, will not have any impact.
"What? It seems that I'm not in a good mood?" Peter Brandt noticed Ye Qiu's expression and was a little depressed.
"How could I feel better when I was poached by someone to the door of my house?" Ye Qiu joked.
Peter Brandt laughed. At least in his opinion, Ye Qiu could still make jokes, proving that he actually had no big problems, or that his unhappiness was only temporary, and it would be fine after some time.
For someone of his level, there are few things that can upset him.
"I heard that the poaching of Tottenham outside was very fierce," Peter Brandt stood up, sighing a little. "This made me think of Ajax in the 1990s. At that time, almost every summer, all the giant teams were staring at Ajax with the Wolves, just like a lustful old man staring at a beautiful woman who took off her clothes."
"Wow" Ye Qiu didn't expect that Peter Brandt, who looked like an old pedantic, actually had such a heavy taste, and laughed a little surprised.
"I'm right, this is the most vivid metaphor." Peter Brandt answered very seriously
But sometimes, jokes are to use the most serious expression to tell the most humorous jokes, and such comedy works best.
So, Ye Qiu really laughed out loud.
"But sometimes, I also wonder which team, even those giant teams, has anyone not been poached? And who can guarantee that their players will always be loyal to them?"
Peter Brandt's words made Ye Qiu feel some associations and resonance.
In fact, all giant teams will inevitably have troughs and peaks. They have times to poach others, but they also have times to be poached. However, the reason why giants are giants is that they can have a good mechanism to avoid risks and crises when facing these difficulties.
If you are always smooth sailing, let’s not talk about whether this is possible. Just say one thing, that is, when a crisis comes, it will be a disaster for you. Therefore, many times, the team’s signings and selling are not just to replenish fresh blood, stimulate the competitive atmosphere within the team, and complete the metabolic function, but there is also a more important point to form a risk resistance mechanism.
What would the result be like if Tottenham Hotspur's existing group of players are waiting until retirement?
The answer is that Tottenham Hotspur may completely lose its competitiveness in five years because everyone has lost interest in the team's current situation and the sense of freshness, and even the players themselves have lost their fighting spirit.
Therefore, sometimes being poached or recruited may not be a bad thing.
"Look, Ajax was poached to death and experienced a trough for a while, but if Mr. Van Prager had not announced in 1999 that he would have introduced some sports graduates from the outside world, how could you enter Ajax's coaching staff? If you were not introduced, how could Ajax have a revival?"
"Crisis and crisis are because of danger, and there is opportunity." Peter Brandt didn't know when he said something, and he actually had some great truths, which Ye Qiu had never thought of before.
"Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. I'm right, but you rarely sit like this and talk about your worries with me." Ye Qiu felt strange and a little ambiguous when Peter Brandt said this.
But he knew very well that Peter Brandt had a wife and children, and his sexual orientation was absolutely normal
After understanding this, Ye Qiu walked out of Peter Brandt's office and did not disturb the Dutch doctor's continued work.
After leaving the house, he immediately called Peter Kenyon.
"Agree with Real Madrid's transfer to Gareth Bale and Aveloa, but said it was not sold. I think their offer is too low. If you talk to them carefully, at least you have to raise the price."
"Leave it to me." Peter Kenyon understood what Ye Qiu meant and immediately nodded on the other side of the phone to agree.
After Ye Qiu quickly hung up the phone, he called Peter DeVisel, the chief scout who was on holiday. After all, the scouts did not have a holiday. This old guy is lazy, so Ye Qiu told him without hesitation that the team needs a left-back, preferably with stronger defensive ability.
Peter DeVisel 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 informatized, and 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 breathed a sigh of relief and completed a thought.
But just as he hung up the phone and hadn't even put it back in his pants, the phone in his hand rang again.
Chapter completed!
