Chapter 838: Saint's Black Technology

"Mr. Reid, are your technical analysis of the game video done manually?"
Alexander Otto’s family is engaged in e-commerce, which is somewhat related to this kind of data analysis, so he was also shocked because he could not imagine how this could be done?
The big data of Internet companies collects user behavior through the background.
But Southampton is now using game videos. If you really use people to watch it, it’s just Southampton games and players, it’s still possible, but if you want to accumulate a database of players from all over the world, you won’t be blinded. Way to collect such a huge amount of data, right?
"No, Mr. Otto, we have a set of specialized analysis algorithms, and after accumulation and improvement over the past few years, the accuracy is not lost to data companies such as opta."
Alexander Otto was stunned.
This is too ridiculous, right?
In the past few years, professional football data analysis has become popular, including companies such as opta.
But although these companies have some supporting software of their own, they are more auxiliary.
Their most important analytical method, in the final analysis, still relies on manual labor.
But Southampton can use a set of special analysis algorithms to analyze the game video on the computer, which is incredible.
"Speaking of which, this has a lot to do with Young Master Huan's game company."
Les Reid was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he explained it.
"At that time, Master Huan vigorously promoted data analysis in game companies. For this reason, he also developed a set of algorithms to capture every action of the character in the game and every behavior of the user and analyze it."
This was originally used to make money, for example, to study the situation in which users have the most urge to recharge and spend money to buy props, and then use this to design props or provide other supporting services for game users.
Later, when Southampton's data analysis reached a certain level, it encountered a bottleneck.
Because, as Alexander Otto said, humans can never afford such a huge workload.
Yang Huan was reminded of this set of algorithms of the game company, so he asked someone to study it and see if he could go a step further and develop a set of algorithms that can automatically analyze game video data.
Later, including the famous artificial intelligence expert Demis Hassabis, and his team also joined them, and recruited experts in statistics, machine learning, etc. from all over the world to form a research and development team.
After two years, it took no idea how much money, and no idea how much manpower, financial resources and material resources were invested, and finally this set of data analysis and research system in Southampton was built.
But the harvest is also very rich, that is, Demis Hassabis's research on artificial intelligence has also made breakthrough progress during this period of time.
For example, the test he shocked the world not long ago.
He used a piece of software he developed to play games, including some very popular but relatively simple games.
At first, the performance of the software was terrible, but after several failures, the performance of the software became better and better, and finally even got the highest score of full marks, which stunned everyone.
Because they discovered that this set of software will learn and improve on their own.
This also means that they have made a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence.
And Demis Hassabis also applied this set of algorithms to Southampton's data analysis and research system.
The final result is reflected in this data report in front of Alexander Otto.
They not only analyzed the accuracy of Fabregas' every pass.
The so-called accuracy refers to whether Fabregas’s pass is exactly on his teammate’s idiomatic feet and step points, so that teammates can proceed directly to the next move without adjustment.
At the same time, relevant data such as the error rate will be given.
This is really crazy!
Scroll down further and you can see even more incredible analysis.
For example, the system will analyze the route of Fabregas' every pass, and is it consistent with the running intention of his teammates? Does it match the team's advancement and intentions in this offense? Is this pass the best choice?
The data analyzed is so rich and in-depth, let alone a pass, an attack, even the entire game can be divided into countless extremely subtle processes, and then build a player's progress in the entire process. Route, and the overall progress of the team.
It is said from the outside that Southampton was able to deduce the game before the game, and the result was very accurate.
Before Alexander Otto thought it was a hype in the media, but now, after seeing this analysis system in Southampton with his own eyes, he has to admit that it is indeed quite possible.
Moreover, it is completely foreseeable that with the continuous improvement and upgrade of the Southampton system, the performance will definitely get better and better, the accuracy rate will be higher and higher, and even the result and process of the game will be completely predicted.
This is really ridiculous!
But Les Reid's task is to keep talking, and to keep throwing Southampton's black technology towards everyone in front of him.
In Yang Huan's words, they didn't have to worry about Kuhn and others leaking secrets.
Because these people are all rich and powerful, even if they say a few words in an interview with the media, they must be endorsing the saints. They don't know how the system works and what can be leaked?
"The role of this system is not only for the first team games, but also for the usual training."
Les Reid pointed to the opposite of the office. There were many rooms similar to the hospital ct. Now the doors are closed, and each door has a number plate.
"There is our virtual training ground. We will analyze the characteristics of the players based on the game and training data collected on weekdays, and then send them to the virtual training ground for special training to help them recover as soon as possible, or It is to integrate into the team, even to improve one's own shortcomings, to enhance one's own strength."
"The equipment used inside is all tailor-made for us by the WeChat company, and the materials are also derived from the real game scene, so that the players can be immersed!"
WeChat’s virtual reality and augmented reality technologies are well-known all over the world.
Previously, the mass-produced developer version has already been sold, causing a wave of frenzy around the world, and the effect is said to be lifelike.
The mass-produced version can achieve this level. It is conceivable that the tailor-made version will definitely be even better.
Kuhn, Otto and others are no longer shocked now.
Because they all started to feel numb.
They found that the black technology in this Southampton training base is really not ordinary.
There are so many that make them a little weird.
They even wondered how much manpower, material and financial resources Yang Huan has invested in this team and in this training base in the past four years?
Add up, I'm afraid it should be a pretty amazing number, right?
He is simply a lunatic!
He is probably the only one in the world who can do this!
Of course, the world is so easy to make money as he is, I am afraid it is the only one!
Les Reid waited until everyone laughed at what he had just said, smiled slightly, and led everyone to the second floor.
And this time, Kuhn and others finally met a player.
It turned out to be the Argentine player who just switched from Real Madrid to Southampton this season, Di Maria!
Looking in from the window of a room on the second floor, Di Maria was talking with a middle-aged British man inside. It seemed that the atmosphere was very good, and the Argentine couldn't stop laughing.
"That is our sports psychology zone. Inside it is Dan Abraham, a famous European sports psychologist."
Les Reid introduced with a smile.
"Di Maria was somewhat resistant to joining the Premier League, mainly because he was worried that his own physical condition could not adapt to the Premier League. Therefore, after Dan Abraham made a psychological evaluation of Di Maria, he believed that he did not have the psychological qualities to play the game for the time being and needed further Psychological counseling."
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized.
No wonder Di Maria is no longer visible in the Community Shield.
It turned out that it was not the so-called refrigeration by Bielsa, or conflict with the team, but the psychological quality.
"But, Les, how can you be sure that Di Maria's mental quality is not enough?" Otto asked curiously.
is not that right?
Even inquiries, the player can lie.
Les Reid nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. This is indeed a problem. In fact, when Dan Abraham talked to Di Maria for the first time, he noticed that he was very wary. ."
"A brand-new environment, a family that does not speak English, and a strange city that cannot be integrated at all. This can cause fear and insecurity. This is something everyone will have, no matter what kind of occupation, any person, Inevitable."
Everyone also nodded together, this is indeed the truth.
"Even though Di Maria was reluctant to admit it at first, he was persuaded after a few exchanges with Dan. From his open letter to Real Madrid fans, clarifying that he did not leave the team voluntarily, it is not difficult to see that he is against Real Madrid’s feelings are very deep, maybe, that’s his dream, and it’s also the dream of many South American players."
Everyone nodded again.
South American players like Barcelona and Real Madrid very much because of their similar culture and language.
"In the same case, we have studied Arsenal's Ozil."
At this point, Les Reid smiled awkwardly.
"Although Özil has joined Arsenal for a season, we still believe that he has not played his true level at all. The main reason is not physical, but psychological."
"So, we are not in a hurry to let Di Maria play. Although we really need a player of his level, we pay more attention to whether he can get rid of his demons and show his highest level in our glory stadium."
When Les Reid talked about this, Kuhn, Otto and others were full of admiration~EbookFREE.me~ They have seen a lot of teams, and there are even giants like Bayern Munich. If you truly value talents and put people first, only Southampton can really admire them.
Yang Huan once said in an interview with the media that the most important thing about Southampton is the gathering of talents.
This is true for management, and so are players.
From Yang Huan's idea of ​​running Southampton, it is not difficult to understand why people including Les Reid, Bielsa, Andris Junker are willing to stay in Southampton.
There is also a group of players from the first team who clearly competed so fiercely, but one by one they were still willing to stay in Southampton, and some even gave up the high salaries of other teams.
After all, it is because in Southampton, they are willing to sacrifice money in exchange for some things.
For example, the club pays attention to and helps them.
