rebirth
In London, at the Cobham training base, Mourinho walked into the office with a man in a black suit. This man didn't look like a person who had a connection with football, because he didn't have the passion of a football player. On the contrary, he had a hint of indescribable calmness, which made people feel terrible. If a football player was like a liberal arts student and was full of passion at any time, then this man must be a science student or an absolute science student. His rationality can be seen from his face. His whole person was like a huge ice cube, extremely cold.
The two of them ignored the players training on the court and walked straight into the office building. At that moment, a cool breeze blew by with the wind, and the grass in the Cobham training base swayed in the wind.
When, when, when, when.
When the office door was knocked, a 'COME-IN' with a Russian accent sounded, and there was no such polite words as "please" at all, just like the leader heard a knock on the door in the office and shouted casually, "In".
Mourinho pushed the door open and the man behind him glanced at the huge office, and then followed him in. This was his gambling.
In the 13-14 season, Mourinho returned to Chelsea, but at this time Mourinho had no choice but to help him analyze various data. The separation of the two made Mourinho unhappy in everything in recent years, and even the special plan he had been carrying out could not be implemented. After returning to Chelsea, Mourinho heard about something that ESPN had a very capable football data analyst resigned, so Mourinho made a special trip to the United States and invited the ESPN data analyst to Chelsea club. He wanted to complete his special plan to realize his ambitions.
Everyone has seen a news that the media revealed that Chelsea had produced a database of all players around the world after Mourinho joined the team for half a year. Only the core managers of Chelsea can see this data set. There are only two so-called core managers, one is Mourinho and the other is Chelsea's boss, Abu.
This is Mourinho's ambition and his special plan. He wants to create a database that matches all players around the world and create the most scientific team based on the data. However, Mourinho appeared in Abu's office with this ESPN data analyst, which happened to be half a year before the database was taken out. The data analyst was named Song Shiwan. In fact, Song Shiwan's earliest dream was not to become a data analyst. He wanted to become a head coach, but it was so easy to enter in European football? What's more, she is still a yellow person, so she can only settle for the second best and develop in the industry related to football.
Song Shiwan is not a celebrity. He is not worth mentioning on ESPN. He is the most ordinary data analyst. However, he is a very restless person. He hides most of his analysis data and only hand over the data that needs to be handed over according to his workload every month. A large amount of the analysis data is filed on his hard drive. What outsiders cannot know is that this data was recorded by Song Shiwan with his super memory, especially the data of important stars. The preciousness of this set of data is not only attribute digitization, but also Song Shiwan has specially found the team doctor where these players are.
A set of data-based data-based attributes that float up and down has been created. For example, a single attribute 20 is full value, and Ronaldo's shot is 18. With Ronaldo's wave shot, his shooting data is at most between 15 and 18. So how is this value obtained? To calculate the physical strength of Ronaldo when he is fighting with others, to calculate Ronaldo's sense of grabbing points, and to calculate Ronaldo's extraordinary ability. That is to say, this shooting data is a comprehensive attribute. The shooting attribute of a set ball under unmanned interference is definitely different from the real shot. In fact, Ronaldo's set ball attribute is definitely not as high as in the FM game.
This absolutely scientific database has become an important reason why Song Shiwan left ESPN. Since joining ESPN in 2004 and becoming a football data analyst, Song Shiwan has prepared for this database for a full ten years. When ESPN learned about the existence of this database, he wanted to acquire it for US$150,000!
ESPN's whimsical angered Song Shiwan. The reasons they gave were as unacceptable as shit. ESPN said, "This set of data is not authoritative in your hands. You only represent you. With the ESPN platform, this set of data can be considered authoritative data. It surpasses FM, FIFA, PES, etc., which have only been a professional football game production company that has only been a player database. In other words, Song Shiwan has not proved that your data is authoritative, ESPN can.
Bullying people is obviously bullying people. Song Shiwan resigned angrily because of this. He never thought that this news would be learned by Mourinho, who is famous in football. Mourinho also flew to the United States to meet Song Shiwan himself and took Song Shiwan to Chelsea to negotiate with Abu for the price.
It’s really like a road before the car arrives at the mountain. There is another village with dark willows and flowers.
This is the entire purpose of Song Shiwan coming to Cobham Training Base. He wants to work with Mourinho to improve the entire database and create a huge data system exclusive to Chelsea, so as to match the Chelsea lineup and obtain first-hand information from his opponents.
In the office, Abu sat behind the desk, without any intention of getting up to greet him. He put his elbows on the human body mechanics desk, crossed his index fingers and poked his mouth forward, like a boss waiting for his subordinates to report his work.
"Welcome, Mr. Song."
Song Shiwan didn't hear the charm of welcome at all, but he was not angry or anxious. This was a process that must be gone. Before you prove that you have the ability, you are not qualified to ask for anything from others. This is normal.
"I heard that you are very capable, so why don't you show it to me, how about it?" Abu didn't mean to waste time. He is a businessman, and businessmen must look at the goods when buying things.
Mourinho did not interrupt, he has not seen Song Shiwan's database yet. All his understanding of Song Shiwan only comes from "hearding" and if he doesn't verify it, there is no room for discussion on this matter. In fact, Mourinho is definitely not a person who is not cautious in doing things. There are also reasons why Mourinho is brought to him rashly today. First of all, Mourinho is not the treble champion of Inter Milan, and his results in Real Madrid make him unable to have the first place in front of Abraham.
The domineering attitude when he entered Stamford Bridge, after all, Inter Milan's treble champion is a past tense; secondly, Mourinho has matured and is more comfortable in handling interpersonal relationships. He still understands this basic politeness when he asks for instructions early and reports later. Even when introducing Xuerle, Abram was made happy first. Before Chelsea got his ideal score, it was basically unlikely that Mourinho would have the same hegemony as before. Who made the hottest head coach in Europe now become Guardiola and Klopp?
Song Shiwan glanced at Mourinho, calmed down his mind, and asked, "Can you use your paper and pen?"
After Abu nodded, Song Shiwan reached out to take the paper and pen, and began to write down a row of names on the white paper in a very regular manner, Blackman, Cech, Schwarzer, Ilario; Ak, Terry, Cahill, Ashley Cole, Bertrand, Ivanovich, David Luis, Aspiricueta, Carras; Buck, Kolker, Lampard, Mikel, Marta, William, Ramirez, Oscar, De Bruyne, Van Tingker, Essin; Torres, Scherle, Dembaba, and Etoo.
This is the lineup that has passed halfway through the 2013-14 season. Then Song Shiwan wrote horizontally to the position, playing time, goals, assists, shots, shots, shots, fouls, offside, saves, yellow cards, red cards, corner kicks and other data records, and then filled in according to the data, just like a primary school student doing fill-in-the-blank homework.
Use Lampard's data to give an example. Lampard, position midfielder, played 18 times, played 1189’, scored 4 goals, assisted 3, shots 37 times, shots 16 times, fouls 11 times, 2 yellow cards, 8 corner kicks, and the rest of the data is 0.
This is a very standard data-based football, but this data-based football is very general. When Song Shiwan wrote out all the data of Chelsea players in this general way, Mourinho had already widened his eyes. Boas's original records were not as detailed as Song Shiwan. After he and Abu looked at each other, both of them did not say a word. From Mourinho's shock, Abu can see that Song Shiwan is definitely not a verbal person!
Fifteen minutes later, Song Shiwan took another piece of paper and began to write out various data, such as Mata wrote behind it, success rate, position of passing the ball, position of getting rid of the ball, assist position, etc. Then it was no longer data, but a combination of data and stadium thumbnails! Under the white paper, Song Shiwan drew a stadium and began to divide the field on the field, in the four zones of the opponent's half-court atmosphere, one is the midfielder, and the other is the opponent's hinterland.
One is the edge, and the other is the penalty area. Then Song Shiwan drew Mata's transcendence position in the form of dots, and wrote various data under the dots. After writing all this, he flipped the white paper. Song Shiwan continued to draw a thumbnail of the stadium on the back of the white paper of Mata, and wrote out various data of Mata's last season. When the front and back sides were compared, Mata's best position immediately appeared. Last season, Mata was Chelsea's best player with 17 goals, and 21 assists proved everything.
In Mourinho's opinion, Song Shiwan is definitely not a follower of the crowd who determines the lack of staff attributes by relying on rumors. Even the best position requires data comparison on the court to determine it. Do you dare to do it so carefully without real materials?
According to Mata's data, Song Shiwan was accurately calculating the average value of the person at the position through playing time and different numbers of passes at different positions. Finally, after calculating according to his own data peak value of 20, he obtained a 14-16 attribute, and marked with a special symbol of A+.
Is this over?
No!
Song Shiwan then threw the game down and started a complicated calculation. He took out his mobile phone and opened the calculator. He began to enter a lot of data that was simply incomprehensible. In fact, this time Song Shiwan calculated the shooting attributes, and he couldn't see all his background. Finally, after a super operation, Song Shiwan filled in the shooting attributes 12 to 14. Marta's shooting value should be a little higher than this data. However, this season, Marta played too little, and only played 13 times in half a season, and only one shot in 11 shots was directed, which greatly lowered Marta's shooting data. The data only changed every moment to maintain accuracy, even if it was just fine-tuning.
In the end, Mata's data is standard data of 14~16 (A+), shot 12~14 (A), and pass 16~20 (A+~S). Although there are only three items in this data, the calculation program is too troublesome. In the end, Mata's position in the player attributes was determined to be at the A+ position.
Song Shiwan pushed a few pieces of paper in his hand forward and said, "If you want to use a player like Mata well, the key is what you need him to do. If you need to break through, organize, shoot or create opportunities for your teammates, he has no problem at all, but if you need him to insert it during the offense and once you lose the ball, you will enter the defensive state and use the high-pressure position to grab the ball back, then he is a waste, Mata is Mata, not Lampard."
This sentence says that Mourinho is in a crack in his heart. Mourinho has no prejudice against Mata. The key problem is that Mata is not suitable for Chelsea that Mourinho needs...
Song Shiwan has his own hierarchy system for players. This hierarchy atmosphere is known to ordinary players (regardless of age and young, only data), Hope Star, star, known to all the country, famous to intercontinental, superstar, world-class, world-class; ordinary players (blank, no rating), Hope Star (C), star (C+), everyone knows to all the country (B), state-level civilization (B+), superstar (A), world-class (A+), world-class (S).
The evaluation of the level after the level is not just based on the first three attributes. Among them, there is also the most important attribute, Song Shiwan, which is the "spiritual attribute", such as perseverance, dirtyness, etc., Song Shiwan, which is used in FM, can be redefined, but these attributes must not be leaked without signing the contract.
Mourinho immediately thought of targeted training when he saw Mata's data, thereby improving the power of the players on the court. With this set of attributes, he created a complete and meticulous system. With scientific training, diet, rest, game time, etc., he might be able to build a team that dominates Europe... No, the attributes seem to be too few. For players like Mata, the three data of outrage, shooting, and passing seem to be enough. However, today, when the requirements for players are getting higher and higher, there seems to be some things missing, such as what is the first counterattack value after losing the ball? What is the supplementary shot value that is quickly reacted?
The moment Mourinho turned his head and looked at Song Shiwan, he saw Song Shiwan smiling at him calmly. He immediately understood that this was just a inspection. If you don’t give money, this guy named Song would never take out real things!
"Mr. Song, please allow us to discuss it. I promise that I will give you a satisfactory answer within three days." At this time, Abu was not easy to speak. Not to mention how to use such professional things, Abu even if he could understand them, it would be a problem.
Song Shiwan nodded and said, "It should be." After that, he stood up and left.
At the entrance of the Cobham training base, Song Shiwan felt relieved in an instant. He saw Mourinho's heartbeat. He always tried hard to make a move the day before. This sentence is definitely correct. He is about to make a move.
After rejecting the kindness of Chelsea Club to send him back to the hotel, Song Shiwan walked on the road outside the Cobham training base. He needed to calm down his ecstasy heart. Although there was no expression on his face, his heartbeat was accelerating and the feeling of blood rushing could no longer be suppressed. He didn't like this feeling. He liked to face everything coldly and watch others excited about everything he did. This is him, the "plug-in maker" Song Shiwan, the ESPN colleagues' mouth!
Beep! Beep!!!
On the outside of the Kobham base, where there are very few vehicles, a large truck honked its horn and whistled past. Just as Song Shiwan turned his head, the truck suddenly deviated from the direction and rushed out of the road. The front of the car was like a straight pass from the slant sent by a midfielder, rushing straight towards the disappointment... Bang!
Rumble!!!
