The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 355 Boss, big money, do you want to do it?
"Hey, Peter, I, Roland! Let me tell you, there is a very shrewd investor who is interested in your research project. If you want to, immediately bring all your materials and things and rush to Jin Slim .”

"Big money?" Peter Brandt on the phone must have bright eyes.

Ye Qiu and the others who were listening on the phone couldn't hold back their laughter. Roland leaned over and nodded, "Big money, absolutely big money, the kind that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per minute, it's Euros, not Zimbabwean dollars, yes, Come right away, hurry up, I'll leave after a while!"

Just because of this phone call, Peter Brandt, a poor fellow, skipped class in the middle of the class. He is probably the only teacher at the University of Amsterdam who skipped class in the middle of the class, right?
In the end, when this guy spent more than 20 minutes, panting and carrying a lot of things, he ran to Slender Jin and saw Ye Qiu. fat man.

"Okay, okay, if you want to hit him, punch him a few times, anyway, he is so fat, it won't hurt, don't put on airs over there!" Ye Qiu was on the side, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, urging Peter? Brandt hastened to do it.

Fatty Luo has a sad face, who am I doing this for, big brother?

On the contrary, Peter Brandt didn't move anymore, he pushed Fatty Kailuo angrily, and sat down next to him to eat.

"Tell me, what exactly are you researching?" Ye Qiu asked with concern.

Ye Qiu still knows Peter Brandt very well. This middle-aged professor's research ability is definitely not bad, especially in the field of sports. The reason why Ye Qiu has managed to manage the team with few injuries over the years is that he definitely He is behind the scenes.

Of course, the injuries mentioned here refer to avoidable injuries. For example, players are injured due to fatigue, during the game or some unpreventable injuries, which are not included in this, because it is impossible for any team to completely Avoid injuries.

Peter Brandt stuffed several pieces of dumplings into his mouth viciously, munching, and casually took out one of the documents he brought, and handed it to Ye Qiu, meaning, you See for yourself and don't bother me eating.

Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled wryly. He still respects Peter Brandt very much, because Peter Brandt is his wife Huang Chu's senior, and the two are also good friends, so Peter Brandt's family has a relationship with Ye Qiu's family. very close.

Recently, Peter Brandt organized graduate students from the university and other people who were equally interested to conduct research on a piece of data, and here we must mention a piece of data that Ye Qiu asked to write before. suite of software.

The functions of this set of software are very diverse, mainly around the preparation of a head coach and coaching staff, analysis of opponents, post-match summary archives, etc., and one of the functions is somewhat similar to OPTA's data analysis, mainly Analyze factors such as distance traveled, speed, and so on for each player in games and training.

Ye Qiu attaches great importance to running and speed, but he never pays attention to the player's 30-meter speed test. He only pays attention to the first 5 meters, especially the first 10 meters and the first [-] meters.

For example, some people questioned Van Persie at the beginning, thinking that he was not fast enough, but Ye Qiu directly slapped him in the face, saying that Van Persie's speed is well-known in the Chelsea team. But what Ye Qiu was talking about was the starting speed, because this is the most important thing in a football game.

Van Persie is flexible, quick to start, and has few injuries. His weakness is mainly in the upper body. Ye Qiu even asserted that if Van Persie strengthens the strength of the upper body and continues to maintain a healthy body, he will be the strongest attacker in the world. .

Of course, Peter Brandt didn't know, Wenger in Ye Qiu's previous life once said this.

Because Ye Qiu attaches great importance to running, this set of software has worked hard on this aspect. Peter Brandt formed a research team after Ye Qiu resigned. The game and all the UEFA Champions League knockout matches and finals are systematically analyzed, and the game data of more than 50 professional players are obtained from it, and then classified.

A speed below 11 kilometers per hour is considered not running or fast walking, 11-14 kilometers is considered jogging, 14-19 kilometers is considered half-speed running, 19 kilometers to 23 kilometers is considered fast running, and more than 23 kilometers is considered high-speed running. According to the statistics of the running distance of the league, a median value is given, and the running distance varies according to the style of each league.

For example, in La Liga, the team's average running distance is 11 kilometers, but in the Premier League, it is relatively more. In the whole team, each position is different. The midfielder runs the most. Over 393 kilometers, the wingers are next, and the full-backs are third, followed by the forwards and the central defenders. The central defenders run the least, but they are also more than 12 kilometers.

"Can you see the meaning of this?" Peter Brandt seemed to be trying to test the school.

Ye Qiu looked at this report, which differentiated the running distance and speed for each position, and even gave the difference in running distance and speed between different types, different leagues, and different styles of teams. Accurate to how many meters.

This is indeed a very cumbersome set of research. It can even be said that it is absolutely boring research in the eyes of many people, because you can't see any use at first glance, but Ye Qiu feels that it is not simple.

First of all, obtaining such accurate values ​​can make the club more aware of the situation of itself and the opponent, and even get the performance and status of the opponent's players from the accumulation of data. You can fake anything, but you can let the players run against each other on the court. Does distance lie?Fake your speed?
Of course, there are too many mysteries and elusiveness in the player's body, so Peter Brandt is also working hard to grasp a certain probability through the precise calculation of the large database, and then understand a player's state and psychology.

To give an example, suppose you use this set of data software in a game and find that a player runs less and slower than usual. Combined with the situation on the court, you may conclude that the player's state It's worse, and your tactics can use him as a breakthrough point. For example, the offense uses him as the breakthrough direction, and the defense tries to force the opponent to give him the ball as much as possible.

Also, through this set of data, you can understand the physical condition and injury of the players, and formulate the team's training program based on this, so as to avoid unnecessary injuries or cause excessive fatigue to the players.

Finally, after this set of data is completed, when the team introduces players, it can be used as a set of auxiliary tools for evaluating players based on this set of data. For example, if you want a full-back, you need him to run back and forth in a wide range. It is necessary to be able to jump in to attack, but also to be able to retract to defend, so it is not accurate to rely on watching the game alone.

Why is it inaccurate?

Because the game is deceiving, especially through the game video, the degree of deception is higher.

This is why old people say that what the real head coach and the fans see in the same game are completely different.

And this set of data and analysis will undoubtedly provide evidence for the team, not data evidence, but a comparison, from which to compare who is more in line with the team's requirements and who is more suitable for the team's tactical system.

This is exercise science. It looks boring, tedious, and boring, but it actually has a profound impact.

Even Ye Qiu was thinking that even if he knew the meaning behind it and asked him to do it himself, he would definitely not have that kind of patience, and only a true scholar like Peter Brandt has the research spirit and patience to complete it it.

When Ye Qiu was thinking and watching this report, everyone around was silent, but Peter Brandt saw hope in Ye Qiu's eyes, and when he raised his head, he laughed: "Boss, Big money, do you want to do it?"

That flattering look looks like a street lady in the De Wallen district of Amsterdam, which makes everyone shudder.

"How much?" Ye Qiu asked very politely.

Peter Brandt opened his palm, "The preliminary estimate is 50 euros!"

"Deal!" Ye Qiu immediately made a decision, "But I also have a request. You continue to be my physical coach and plan to build a new training base. I plan to build a sports science center in the training base and invest 500 million. You Come to be the person in charge of this center and be responsible for forming a team!"

"Really?" Peter Brandt slammed the table hard, "No problem, we don't even need to sign the contract, I'll go with you!"

He can still trust Ye Qiu's words, not to mention that Ye Qiu is rich now, even if he has no money, Peter Brandt will not think too much about a word he says, and just follow him, at least these years Ye Qiu has never Let him down.

"Have you heard of the Milan laboratory?" Ye Qiu asked again.

"You want to poach them?" Peter Brandt was a little strange.

"Damn it!" Ye Qiu shook his head. The Milan Lab is very famous, but in fact, they may not be so great in the field of sports, because many teams have similar institutions, but the names are different. , such as the Brazilian national team, Nike has long supported them to build such a team, and Adidas also supports Ajax to build the same organization?

"I have been to Schalke 04's training base before, and I can really feel that it is modern, with very advanced equipment, and its concept is also in keeping with the pace of the times and technology. Then I went to the United States again, Although the United States is a football desert, do you know that the research on sports medicine in the United States is very advanced, and there are many advanced instruments and equipment. "

Peter Brandt has the right to speak on this point, so after hearing Ye Qiu's words, he nodded in agreement. In terms of sports medicine research, the United States is indeed ahead, because their NBA, baseball and rugby All attach great importance to research and development in this area.

"I did some calculations. How much does it cost to import a set of advanced facilities from the United States? One or two million US dollars, more than one million euros. Even if we want to build an entire sports science center, spending several million euros will be overwhelming. Yes, although this money can introduce a very good cost-effective star from the transfer market, what we get is the long-term benefit of the club!"

"Of course, the introduction is only one aspect. In the future, there will be maintenance, upgrades, and employee allocation. It is initially estimated that 500 million euros will be invested in the establishment of such a sports science research center, and another 100 million euros will be invested in it every year in the future. The least, but I still think it's a good deal, as long as it works, I think it's worth it!"

When talking about this, Ye Qiu proudly smiled and said: "I believe that there is no owner of any football club in the world who knows better than me that if a team can minimize the impact of injuries, it will be more important to a football team." It's amazing what a team can do."

Ye Qiu and Eliza have been saying for a long time that football is a very strange industry. It is very open, but it is also very closed. It is open enough to allow any media to participate, and it is so open that there is nowhere for commercialization. It is not there, but it is also very closed, so closed that it is almost isolated from the outside world.

Just like Tottenham Hotspur's training base, Ye Qiu even thought, how little attention must be paid to endure such a bad training base?However, with so many head coaches in Tottenham's past, no one is willing to say that they are willing to fight for it. The same is true at Chelsea's Harrington training base.

Another point that can reflect the closure of football is the Milan laboratory.

There is no need to say that fans and professionals have unequal information, so they regard the Milan laboratory as a treasure, which can’t be helped, but you must know that such a set is very common in other competitive fields, and it can even be said to be backward Institutions are very rare in football.

The reason why Ye Qiu felt this way was that in early May, 5 Tottenham Hotspur players had a collective food poisoning incident. Many conspiracy theorists said it was poisoning. Don’t be ridiculous, this is a criminal offense. Who would be so stupid to poison for a league ranking?

This is the mistake of Tottenham Hotspur's internal staff, and it is the stupidity of their internal staff that caused the team to be so ridiculous and generous, and at the same time made the team bear a big scapegoat.

Therefore, Ye Qiu's attitude is very resolute and affirmative. Reform, from top to bottom, he wants to reform every inch of Tottenham Hotspur and everyone, and he is ready to bear the consequences for this. ready.

He won't follow Abramovich's way of throwing money like crazy, he can't afford it, people sell oil, the money is too much to spend, but Ye Qiu's money can't be spent like Abramovich , so he has to worry about spending, but he will not be stingy with the money that should be spent. The important thing is to spend it worthwhile.

As for the second thing, Abramovich's method is not sustainable and lacks long-term planning. Ye Qiu dismissed get out of class and hired Mourinho, but the two have different styles. Drastic reforms, Ye Qiu dismissed get out of class, and Mourinho also carried out drastic reforms to Ye Qiu's team. It is difficult to calculate how much money was lost.

Chelsea still won the Premier League title this season, but it is the only one, and the lead has been closely pursued by Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. Under such circumstances, everyone knows that Chelsea's advantage is not that great, It could be reversed at any time.

Moreover, I believe many people are wondering, how long can Abramovich's spending money last?

The Premier League finally came to an end, and Chelsea won the Premier League championship this season without any risk. This made everyone in Chelsea excitedly take to the streets, boarded an open-top bus, and started their parade around the city.

Abramovich stood at the office window at Stamford Bridge, watching the team board the bus and slowly walk forward holding the Premier League trophy, but he could feel that the fans seemed no longer so happy Crazy, because this is Chelsea's three consecutive Premier League titles.

This season, there is nothing but a Premier League, and even lost the Community Shield. Compared with Ye Qiu, Mourinho's first season in charge of the team is really hard to say, especially for him. Ye Qiu's character is so unruly and rebellious, which really dissatisfied Chelsea fans who are used to Ye Qiu's reserved and kind personality.

Standing in front of the window, watching Mourinho standing on the bus, Abramovich thought for no reason, "If it was Ye Qiu, he probably wouldn't have boarded the bus, would he?"

After thinking about it, he quickly smiled wryly, because it was Ye Qiu who he remembered, who actually sued him.

"They are very smart. Eliza Moon is indeed a very shrewd woman. She didn't ask for arbitration from the FA and the Premier League like Arsenal. Instead, she asked for arbitration on the one hand, but at the same time directly announced to the media and put pressure on her." , Now we are clearly breaking the rules!" Although Pini Zahavi is unwilling to admit it, in fact, he really has nothing to do now.

Frank Arnesen, the technical director of Tottenham Hotspur, Abramovich poached a lot of money to Chelsea to take charge of the youth training and scouting system, but when poaching people, Frank Arnesen and Tottenham There is still a contract between Hotspur, and Chelsea's approach is indeed a violation, and this matter has caused a lot of trouble.

If Tottenham Hotspur just applied for arbitration from the FA and the Premier League like Arsenal did when they poached Ashley Cole from Chelsea, Chelsea would not take it too seriously, but now even the media There was a commotion.

In the past period of time, Chelsea really gave people the image of unscrupulous poaching. From Peter Kenyon to Frank Arnesen, they all followed this path, but for Frank Arnesen, Abramovich must Got it, because he always felt that he really owed the Danes in the past.

At the beginning, he had already promised the position of technical director to Frank Arnesen, but because Ye Qiu was in high demand at that time, Abramovich sacrificed Frank Arnesen in order to stabilize Ye Qiu. Fortunately, Pini Zahavi introduced He went to Tottenham Hotspur, but who would have thought that Ye Qiu would become the owner of Tottenham Hotspur and directly complained about Chelsea's poaching.

If this matter cannot be settled, the people below will definitely not be convinced, especially Pini Zahavi.

"Where's Ye Qiu? I'll talk to him!" Abramovich decided to come forward in person.

"He seems to have gone to the Netherlands and hasn't come back yet, but I can arrange it." Pini Zahavi said.

Abramovich shook his head, "No, don't show up, I'll call him myself!"

At the very least, he still has Ye Qiu's cell phone number.
