The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 668 Artificial Genius

Defeated Manchester United 8:0 away, Manchester City 5:0 at home, West Ham United 2:0 away, Liverpool 4:0 at home, Tottenham Hotspur played in the devil's schedule at the beginning of the league. The peak stats of the top teams.

You know, in the first five rounds of the league, Tottenham Hotspur encountered four strong teams with the strength to compete for the top four in the league and even the league championship, and they have all won in these four consecutive games. Victory, this is indeed very difficult, but what is even more difficult is that in such a strong dialogue, Tottenham Hotspur played crazy offensive football.

For the crazy performance of the North London team this season, the media have given a very high evaluation. They even believe that Tottenham Hotspur is definitely the most powerful contender for the Premier League title this season. Whether Tottenham Hotspur's strength is declining, it is undoubtedly a powerful counterattack.

Five games, four wins and one tie, this is perfect for Tottenham Hotspur, who is deeply in the devil's schedule.

The team has won consecutively, and the internal atmosphere of the team has been adjusted quite well. After all, everyone has games to play.

The Champions League, the Premier League, the League Cup, the UEFA Youth League, plus the reserve team games that are a bit of a warm-up match, Tottenham Hotspur have played as many as five events so far.

The club has always made reasonable arrangements for which players will participate in which games, especially for the physical condition of the players. They will be arranged to play different games. With the start of the league, especially the Champions League and the League Cup, Tottenham Hotspur, which is fighting on multiple fronts, has also begun to prepare for the entire season.

In other words, the rotation is about to begin.

On the second day after the Liverpool game, Ye Qiu arranged for all the players who participated in Liverpool's starting game to rest for a day, while the other players went to Theobald for training as usual, but he did not plan to go to Manchester to watch Manchester United live. In this focus match with Chelsea, Mauro Tassotti and Peter DeVissel went to the scene.

Now Ye Qiu basically doesn't care about many things, such as the team's training, he basically delegates power.

Mauro Tassotti's ability is indeed very good. Whether he is arranging training programs or guiding players in training, he is a good hand, and he is very careful and meticulous in his work, and he has high requirements for players. , but it's not the kind of hardliner who doesn't know how to communicate with players, or the kind who is very stubborn.

After observing for a period of time, Ye Qiu was very satisfied with the combination of Mauro Tassotti and Roland Shepas, so he simply didn't even attend the coaching staff's daily pre-training meetings, and instead It was Mauro Tassotti who was in charge.

In early autumn, London began to get wet. The asphalt road at the training base was always wet, as if it had just been washed with a sprinkler. If you pay attention, you will find that some flowers, plants and trees on the roadside are always covered with dew. drops of water.

That is the fog, and it is also one of the origins of the foggy London.

Ye Qiu walked from the training building to the research center. He has been in London for so many years, and he has long been used to the climate in London. So when he left the training building, he zipped up the training suit and grabbed the neckline of his throat. Quickly walked towards the research center not far away.

Theobald's research center is mainly composed of three parts, two experimental departments, in the youth team and first team areas, each responsible for one area, and there is also a medical research and development department, located in the research center of the first team However, even players are not allowed to enter this area, which is mainly responsible for the research and development of some medicine, sports, and technology applications.

The experimental department is the Theobald Research Center, which is usually rumored by many outside fans and the media, but everyone in the management knows that this is just an application department. The real core is the Medical Research and Development Department, which is Theobald The heart of Germany, because a series of research conducted here not only affects Tottenham Hotspur, but also affects Leaf Technology, and the entire field of football.

Like the research department of Leaf Science and Technology, Theobald's medical R&D department gathers a group of geeks. They include relevant personnel from famous universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, and even Harvard, as well as leaders in the field of sports medicine. Among them are Some of them used to work in AC Milan's Milan laboratory.

For the medical research and development department, Ye Qiu basically seldom manages it, and even the club doesn't get involved in the management. It mainly relies on Peter Brandt, Meierseman and others to take charge. Ye Qiu and the club belong to that department. Those who want money for money, people for people, and equipment for equipment, let them slaughter them, and count the money with a smile.

Ye Qiu, the experimental department of the first team, comes here often. It is located on the first floor of the research center. There are many kinds of equipment in it. The players have to deal with them almost every day, and many people will take advantage of the training Yu, made a special trip here for extra training, but this kind of extra training has little to do with football.

If you want to practice the ability training with the ball, you have to go to the practice room, or go to a special training ground.

The training in the research center is mainly related to the brain.

"Who's in there now?" Ye Qiu walked to the control room of the meditation room and found that there were people in the four meditation rooms, but they were all lying on a soft sofa bed similar to an operating table, wearing helmets, There are many automated instruments around, so Ye Qiu can't tell who is who.

The technician turned around and was not surprised to see Ye Qiu, because he came almost every day, pointing to the surveillance video on the big screen, "Phil Jones, Sandro, Pogba and Neymar!"

After a pause, the technician typed a few times on the keyboard, and the screen immediately switched, "Phil Jones is now seeing some videos of Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien from around 2008 to 2010, Sandro It’s Emerson’s time at AC Milan, Pogba’s Yaya Toure’s, Neymar’s Raul’s.”

After Ye Qiu heard this, he didn't say anything, but just watched the situation in the surveillance video. Several players were lying on it, motionless, because they were all in a semi-hypnotic state, but they were immersed in the scene displayed by the helmet. In front of them, the 3D high-definition video seems to be immersive, and even the whole person, including the body and mind, is integrated into it.

There are testing instruments next to the sofa bed in each meditation room. They will very clearly show the physical condition of the players at this moment, such as their heartbeat, blood pressure, etc. There are a lot of data, so that technicians can clearly understand To the current physical condition of the players, and even emotional fluctuations.

"You are here!" Demichelis also walked into the control room.

Ye Qiu nodded, "How is the situation?"

Demichelis smiled. "Which one do you want to know?"

"You know, we need to rotate players next, especially our midfield!"

Demichelis nodded, "Follow me!"

The two left the control room one after the other, turned around and walked into Demichelis' office. This is also the venue where he specializes in counseling the players' psychology. After the players have received training in the meditation room, they have to come to him. They will receive a period of psychological counseling here, and Demichelis will learn about their progress from face-to-face communication and training in the next few days.

The same is a video and video, and different people will get different results from watching it.

"You know, when we look for templates for players, on the one hand, we consider the existing database, and on the other hand, we consider the technical characteristics of the players, as well as their own conditions, such as personality, preferences, habits, etc., which are all taken into account. Inside!"

The whole process is actually a very complex system engineering, unlike FM football manager, what you see is a lot of numbers, you can compare these numbers and draw a conclusion, that is very simple and easy, but the reality Not so.

It seems that many people say that Nick Powell looks like Pirlo, how can he look like that?
They play very similarly, with left and right feet, good technique, easy handling of the ball... Wait, you can find a lot of similarities.

But you can't train Nick Powell into a player exactly like Pirlo, because Nick Powell is not as smart as Pirlo. Know where your opponents are and where they are going, but Nick Powell may need two eyes.

When Pirlo is under close pressure, he may only need a tenth of a second to decide what to do, because he is very confident and decisive, but Nick Powell will be slightly weaker in this regard, He may need 0 seconds, and this is because he is not as confident as Pirlo.

Of course, this is an elusive psychological condition, but people are just that weird.

Also, after a period of mental training, everyone found a very strange thing, that is, Nick Powell has a strong comprehension ability in many aspects such as running position, passing awareness, technical movement, etc. Very fast, and he mastered it quickly, but he just has no feeling for free kicks. Even though his long and short passes are good, the progress of free kicks is very slow.

But he is very sensitive to long shots. You have no way to understand why he does this, but he is like this!
Therefore, finding a template for a player, or in other words, guiding a player to improve, is actually very troublesome, very complicated, and at the same time requires enough patience and long-term hard work.

"Then you think Phil Jones looks like Essien?" Ye Qiu found it interesting.

Demichelis thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Many things are not the same, but when I was at Chelsea, I carved out Essien myself. I think Phil Jones has many similarities with the early Essien, so I Let him watch some of Essien's later data and videos, and I found that he learned very quickly, especially in terms of running."

Essien also belonged to the type of rampage in the early days, but he gradually became enlightened, especially after Ancelotti came to Chelsea, he helped Essien complete the transformation well, and his running began to become more and more Smart and getting better at passing the ball.

According to Demichelis, the reason why Essien became enlightened is that the player's own efforts cannot be ignored, but the training in the meditation room is also of great help to him.

After Demichelis and Meier Zeman and several other people from the Milan laboratory came to Tottenham Hotspur, they brought a lot of relevant data, which made Tottenham Hotspur develop players and When carving out players, I got a lot of help.

"In the past few days, I have made Phil Jones repeatedly watch videos of himself running around and making some stupid mistakes. I believe this will allow this player to better integrate into the game and control himself at the same time. Emotions."

Some players are not good at controlling emotions, just like firecrackers, they get angry and get angry when they are violated, and they are easy to lose their minds. In the process, he will gradually develop a kind of resistance, and then after the same situation occurs again, he can control his emotions better.

In fact, relevant training is also available in the military. For example, they will repeatedly let the soldiers relive the scene when the bullet hit the body, and even let them have a kind of immersive pain, which can help them better overcome the enemy. Fear of injury and pain, and something to help post-war soldiers get out of the shadow of war.

The truth is actually the same, it's just that Ye Qiu applied this series of techniques to football.

For today's Tottenham Hotspur, the body can be built at will, and the technology can be sculpted to the maximum. Even in theory, as long as there is enough data in hand, as long as two people have temper, personality, The mental awareness and other aspects are exactly the same, so they can copy two identical players.

Of course, this is theory, but people are unique, so no two players are exactly the same, only close.

"I don't think Pogba is like Yaya Toure at all. The two of them are very different!" Ye Qiu thought of Pogba, who is also a young player that De Vissel is very optimistic about.

"De Vissel said he was a bit like Gerrard with a more refined technique!" Demichelis said with a smile, "But the problem is, I don't have Gerrard's data, so I was wondering, are you Consider bringing in Gerrard?"

"I'm thinking about it!" Ye Qiu scolded with a smile, bringing in Gerald?Not to mention the rich and powerful Liverpool now, even the Liverpool team in the previous life probably would not be able to sell Gerrard, and because Pogba resembles Gerrard in some aspects, Gerrard must be introduced. Wiesel also said that Sandro is like Vieira in some aspects and Emerson in some aspects, but where can these two players be introduced?
Demichelis was also joking, and after hearing Ye Qiu scold him, he couldn't help laughing, "This is our next research direction, we can no longer rely so heavily on the data brought by player templates, we need It has its own set of data related to the various abilities of the players at each position."

This kind of data is not the number of passes, the number of crosses, the number of dribbles, etc. It is purely for fans to see, and the data that the research center needs is a 38-meter pass. The most accurate, the relationship between the direction and the ball-touching part, even down to the angle, position, and force of each toe when it contacts the ball.

This is data that most people don't want to understand at all. It is very boring, but it can clearly tell the researchers why the ball can be passed so accurately and just right, and then follow this pattern. Cultivate and sculpt your players' passes.

"Yes, the template template is always just an imitation. What we need to do next is to help players create a set of data tailored for them according to their physical condition, psychological quality, and mental state, and then use this A set of data to train and cultivate them, and urge them to grow!"

This is what Ye Qiu said, the key step in creating a genius.

But everyone must be clear, even if this step is successful, it does not mean that anyone can become a genius, become the top superstar, because there is a cost involved.

That is to say, if there is a player who is very timid, easily flustered, and his basic technical skills are also poor, then you will undoubtedly need to pay a lot of energy to cultivate such a player into a top superstar. It is not cost-effective to invest huge resources and bear huge risks of success or failure.

And in theory, even if a player is successful, he has a comprehensive and superb variety of football skills, and he is also very good at using these skills, but the question is, how much he can play on the court is another question.

Therefore, artificial geniuses, or even high-tech things can only be used as an auxiliary forever.

Man, as the spirit of all things, can never be artificially created, or even completely controlled by technology.

This involves another problem, that is, the more advanced your technology is, the more complicated and elusive people will be!
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, he couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Demichelis again, "You're asking me for money!"

Demichelis laughed, "I need a brand new set of equipment, and at the same time build a brand new data analysis system!"

To put it bluntly, they just want money!

All R&D needs money and continuous investment, so why AC Milan finally couldn't bear it after two or three years in the Milan laboratory, and suspended the research of the medical department, because all R&D It's a money-burning thing.

Ye Qiu is not Galliani, nor Berlusconi. He is very aware of the importance of research and development, and he is also very clear that this project will have a revolutionary effect on the future of Tottenham Hotspur, and even the future of football. .

When Tottenham Hotspur can artificially create the most comprehensive and outstanding talented stars, all other teams can do is sit and wait for death. This will be a revolution for football!
In Ye Qiu's previous life, Barcelona, ​​through youth training, built several players in batches with the ability to stop the ball, pass the ball, escape and run without the ball. They completely changed the situation of the entire football world and completely dominated Ye Qiu. Football in Qiu's previous life.

If Tottenham Hotspur can create talented superstars in batches, not to mention success in the end, even on the road to success, it will be enough for Tottenham Hotspur to rule the entire football world and completely change the existing football world. pattern.

There is no doubt that this is what Ye Qiu and Tottenham want to do!
Compared with such gains, the investment in the entire Tottenham Hotspur research center is only a few million pounds. Now Demichelis wants to introduce equipment and build a brand new analysis system, which at best is hundreds of thousands or nearly a hundred pounds. An investment of [-] pounds, this amount of money is nothing to Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur!

"If the performance of the players satisfies me, I will consider agreeing!" Ye Qiu said before leaving.

But actually, Demichelis knew that Ye Qiu would definitely agree.

He wasn't threatening, nor did he think Ye Qiu was the winner, but because Ye Qiu recruited them to Tottenham Hotspur, he wanted them to do these things, would he disagree?
