Chapter 2 Using the Calculator Player
"Hey, Song, good morning!" A man in a dark blue sportswear stood at the gate of Yaqi Town with his briefcase and was greeting Song Shiwan who had just arrived.
Song Shiwan responded enthusiastically at the gate of Yaqi Town: "Hello Dave, if you wipe off the lip marks on your shirt, maybe your wife won't make things difficult for you after you go home."
After the two of them smiled tacitly face to face, they entered Yaqi Town together.
Yaqi Town is the training base of Leeds United. Here, they have trained countless young talents. Until 2014, players of Milner and Lennon still have players of Leeds youth training on the field.
The moment Song Shiwan stepped into Yaqi Town, he instantly felt a sense of comfort. The broad vision was the unique style of Yaqi Town. The unique green of winter came into view. The grass floating in the wind, the earthy atmosphere wrapped in the wind, and the perseverance outside the training ground standing in the cold wind immediately made people feel a wonderful visual experience like an outing. There is another thing that makes Song Shiwan feel comfortable. This is the ocean of real data floating. He can immerse himself in all data and keep soaring, making the whole world belong to him... The person who once wanted to become a coach but became an ESPN data analyst can now fulfill his dreams, and perhaps he can use his talent in data to make himself closer to his dreams. Is there anything more wonderful in the world?
By the way, who was that person just now? How could he call out his name by opening his mouth?
After pulling himself out of his mind, Song Shiwan suddenly asked himself a question, which almost stumped him. He seemed to have not known that guy very much!
oh!
Song Shiwan remembered that in the information I saw last night, there was this person, Leeds's coach Dave Harrison, who is a typical "Imperial Party" and a loyal supporter of Young Marshal O'Liley; and Kevin Bryville, who will become an assistant coach next year, on an equal footing with him, and is still a coach, is the "Post Party" and the chairman Ridzdale. Why can Song Shiwan be able to separate out the "Post Party" of the Imperial Party? It's very simple. After Leeds United was relegated, Ridzdale refused to hire a famous coach, and it was Kevin who led Leeds to continue to sink.
This starts with Leeds United's brilliant results in the 2000-2001 season. In that season, they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup and eventually lost to Valencia, which is Cooper's team. At that time, Ridzdale and Olilet were still in the honeymoon period. Olilet was full of energy and Ridzdale was ambitious, and the entire Leeds United had the momentum to become a new Premier League champion. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, especially the lack of experience caused by the unreasonable age structure in the team made Leeds United worse day by day, in order to settle the money.
Selling Ferdinand became the fuse for Ollinale and Ridzdale. The two broke up completely. It is said that they did not speak when they met at the club. In the end, Ridzdale won the 15th place in the Premier League at Leeds United and ended his Leeds career. He did not say that Leeds' ranking was related to his selling of players, nor did he say that Ollinale was fired because of the breakup with the other party. The two were completely contrary to each other.
It is an important period when Leeds United is about to collapse. Ferdinand's departure kicks off. However, at this time, Leeds United's coaching staff is full of talents, including future Manchester United reserve coach Warren Joyce, former goalkeeper Steve Sutton of Nottingham Forest, and a famous figure, Brian Robson!
Don't be excited. There are differences between Robson and Robson Jr. In England, where Robson was coached by the Elder Robson Jr., the former captain of England, the former head of Manchester United, and now the coach of Leeds United.
Leeds United has such a brilliant coaching lineup, is it still difficult to cultivate talents? Unfortunately, they met a gambler chairman who was eager to succeed, and the chairman lost the bet.
When Song Shiwan stood at the door of Yaqi Town, he remembered the extremely brilliant white rose, and even more about the super lineup of the White Rose coaching staff, and why Oliley appeared at his home...
Leeds United has been very unlucky in the past two seasons. Last season, Leeds United started to sign up crazily and ranked first in the standings for a while. In the end, because the players were too young and lacked experience, they finally ranked fourth. Unfortunately, they failed to win a seat in the Champions League. This incident has hit Leeds United too much, and it is so big that they have to sell people! Leeds United has made another effort this season and is still strong now. After 20 rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal ranked first with 11 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in 20 rounds; Newcastle 12 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses
The same score ranked second because of goal difference; Leeds United ranked third with 10 wins, 8 draws, 2 losses, 38 points; followed by Liverpool with 37 points and Manchester United with 36 points, fourth, fifth, Liverpool still had one round less. At this time, the pressure of Ollie Lai came. Under the financial crisis, the two giants Liverpool and Manchester United teams were chasing their butts and ran away. The long-term depression made Ollie Lai physically and mentally exhausted. He planned to relax but didn't want the reporter to see it, so he went to Song Shiwan's house to have a few drinks. As a result, Song Shiwan got drunk first, Ollie Lai drank alone, and finally got the news that Ferdinand was sold.
At this time, not only Ollillie was under tremendous pressure, but even Ridzdale's capital chain was completely broken, which led to Leeds's second place finishing the 5th, but had to sell people on a large scale to fill the gap. The decline of Leeds United began to appear. The most hateful thing is that Leeds United sold people in a low position except Ferdinand! The only remaining veterans continued until Leeds United declined to the 15th league next season, and finally relegated the following year. After the relegation, Leeds United's lineup was completely different from before relegation. All players were used by Ridzdale to pay off their debts, and the White Rose completely withered.
Hi.
Thinking of this, Song Shiwan sighed. The tragic character created a glorious and tragic team, but it was eventually ruined by the gamblers. Ollillie never asked Ridzdale to buy Ferdinand. This was completely Ridzdale's own decision. If it weren't for the gambler's chairman's gamble, Leeds United would not have been like this slowly under such a luxurious coaching lineup.
"What are you thinking? Song! Hurry up, call you."
Dave, who had just walked into Yaqi Town, ran out again and shouted at Song Shiwan.
The word "boss" at Leeds United has not appeared in the head coach for a long time. This title has its own master, that is, the person who completely defeated "Brian Clough" in the Leeds United era and won the European Expo Cup (now the UEFA Cup), and eventually became the head coach of the national team. This person is Leeds' eternal pride "Don Levi". The dirty Leeds looks like Don Levi looks and never knew there were rules on the court, but they always won and won the trophy. From then on, no one deserved the title of "Boss" in the Wilkinson era or Graham.
The moment Song Shiwan entered the training base in Yaqi Town, the sharp-eyed David Oliley saw him at a glance. He obviously hadn't had sleepy dark circles on his eyes, but you can never see that he was sleepy on the training ground: "Song, you're here just right, hurry up, are you ready for the guard information I asked you yesterday?"
Before Song Shiwan could speak, Oliley opened his mouth and said, "What do you think of Lucio from Alegre International?"
"Lucio?" Song Shiwan shook his head and said, "It is unlikely. First of all, Brazilian clubs have always used players as commodity training, especially clubs like Alegre International. They have never seen much money in Europe. Since we have had news that Ferdinand was smashed with 19.5 million, they will definitely treat us as a tycoon. I think if Leeds buy Lucio now, they probably wouldn't consider our financial situation. Who made us sell Ferdinand just now? However, Lucio's comprehensive ability is very good, his return to defense is fast enough, and his experience in playing forward gives him the ability to get the ball in dangerous places. If he stands on the back line and forms a central defender partner with Woodgate, I think he can be a ball out of the ball. If he stands on the back line and forms a central defender partner with Woodgate, I think he can be a ball out of the ball.
Guard... This person's short pass success rate on the back line is as high as 97.3% (the short pass success rate is a death requirement on the back line. I believe that no team dares to use players with a short pass success rate below 95%). The success rate of long passes to find a forward is relatively low, only 12.14%. However, he has the ability to bring the ball to the midfield on the defense line and organize the first wave of offense. This is due to the dribbling skills of playing the forward. Within this distance, his goal-conceding rate is as high as 96.75%. That is to say, as long as he stands on the back line, the opponent will not easily treat him as a breakthrough. Oh, by the way, this is not his complete data when he was in Brazil. The key point is that Lucio is just 22 years old and has high potential."
After thinking for a while, Song Shiwan continued: "But he also has shortcomings. He is still too young and not mature enough, and he is a little frizzy. After getting the ball, he always thinks about rushing out. If he uses him, he must change his shortcomings and also give him a back midfielder who specializes in protecting his position. The main reason is that we don't have time to wait for him to mature. His maturity may be 10 years later. Who can guarantee that he will be enlightened when he comes to England? No one can guarantee it!"
Song Shiwan talked about his own opinions in a plain manner. This is what their group of data analysts like to do on ESPN. They put out all the data of stars to fight against Qin Qiong, and the battle was reasonable and well-founded.
The entire coaching staff who were listening on the side were stunned, completely, completely stupid!
What time is now?
2002!
Computers have just been popularized in the club's office during this period, and computers are used to build copywriting. When did these coaches hear such accurate data analysis? And, too, the two digits after the decimal point were all formed!
Ollillie asked after a long time of recovery: "How did you get those data just now?"
"Calculation, look, a player's defensive success rate is compared with the breakthrough rate of the forward or front midfielder who is facing. After the probability of each game is combined, divided by the game, the data for a single season will come out. This is just an average value, and it's okay for reference. If players are introduced completely according to the data, there are still big problems, such as the ups and downs of the state, which is something that cannot be evaluated by numerical values..."
"Stop!" Oliley quickly called the brakes. He didn't want to continue hearing the data. The feeling of being too big had already appeared. Drawing data on the tactical board was something the Italian did, and it was incompatible with the English head coach Fengma Niu: "I believe you, tell me who should I buy."
Once Song Shiwan fell into the ocean of data, he would be extremely calm, and his whole body was like a piece of ice, as if he was in a cold air: "Give me a calculator."
calculator?
All the coaches are crazy. This is Leeds United's training base, not a bank. Who has nothing to do with a calculator on the training ground?
At this moment, O'Liley quickly took out his wallet and car keys from his pocket and threw them to Dave-Harrison and said, "Dave, drive my car to buy it immediately and come back as soon as possible!"
