Chapter 637: Playing a Big Game
Harley Street is located in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, south of the London Zoo and east of Hyde Park. It is a very ordinary and unremarkable street with two lanes less than one kilometer long. It has nothing to do with Harry Potter.
People who are familiar with London or London culture know that there is a nickname here, London Famous Doctor Street.
As the name suggests, Famous Doctor Street is where famous doctors live, but Harley Street is most famous not because there is a famous master in Britain and even Europe, but because there are a group of the most outstanding famous doctors.
So much so that in Conan Doyle's famous novel, the great detective Sherlock Holmes faced a person who said that his master was crazy, and he answered like this: "This is Baker Street, not Harley Street. Do you have any evidence to say that?"
In many British classics, the admiration for Harley Street has a long history, and even Conan Doyle's novels alone have appeared many times. It is conceivable that Harley Street has a respected status and influence in the whole of London.
So many years have passed, and today's Harley Street is no longer the Harley Street of Sherlock Holmes' time. Although the buildings on both sides of the street still retain the style of the time to the greatest extent, social changes have completely made this street lose the atmosphere of the industrial era.
There are cars of various brands representing modernity parked on both sides of the road, making this originally narrow two-lane street extremely crowded. Fortunately, this is not a prosperous street, so there is no traffic jam. Occasionally, one or two oncoming cars will dodge each other and pass.
Ye Qiu sat in the back seat, with Mauro Tassotti sitting next to him, Roland Shepas driving in front, and a middle-aged woman named Carly Barnes sitting in the passenger seat. She is a lawyer and also an agent.
"Turn left ahead!" Carly Barnes pointed to the intersection at the end of the street, then turned around and smiled at Ye Qiu, "We're almost there, Mr. Ye Qiu, just a little past!"
Ye Qiu smiled politely and nodded, "It's okay, don't worry!"
After turning left, the car drove forward in the direction of Hyde Park and soon stopped on the sidewalk.
Although this is not Harley Street, it is a famous neighborhood in the past few hundred years. The influence of Harley Street has long been spread. In fact, those who can really live in Harley Street are often those rich people. On the contrary, those famous doctors have been gradually squeezed out of Harley Street and have to open clinics in the surrounding area.
So that today's Harley Street is no longer a street, but a neighborhood.
Jean Pierre Meierseman opened a private clinic here. He came to London with the encouragement of his good friend Bruno Demichelis, the former director of science and technology of Milan Laboratory, but when he came here, he found that it was not so easy to do business in London, especially in the UK, especially to open a private clinic.
Yes, Meyer Seman is the initiator and creator of the Milan Laboratory, and an expert in muscle and cervical diseases. He was once the private doctor of Berlusconi and many wealthy people in Europe and the Middle East, and is also well-known in the industry, but that was in Italy. He is now in London, and he has been away from the clinic for nearly ten years.
As the initiator of the prestigious Milan Laboratory and the most core soul, Meyer Seman has extremely rich experience in this area, and has created countless brilliant deeds in his hands. For example, AC Milan was able to win the Champions League with an old team lineup, and he played a great role.
One of the cases has always been talked about by many Milan fans. That is, Seedorf had a period of continuous groin pain for a year and a half, which made him play very badly on the court and even unable to train normally. Later, Meyer Seman helped him heal his groin injury and stimulated his state.
Many people may find it strange, what did he do?
It's very simple, just pull out one of Seedorf's wisdom teeth, that's all!
There are many examples of Meel Seman. For example, Maldini and Costacurta were able to continue their careers for so long because of Meel Seman. When Cafu came to Milan from Rome, everyone said that his glory days were over, but his performance in Milan has always maintained a very high level.
It should be said that Meel Seman has done a very good job in combining modern technology with the medical field, especially in sports medicine and injury prevention. He is almost an authority. According to Peter Brandt, Meel Seman and others have conducted more than one million similar experiments in total, and the level of injury prevention and control has reached a very high success rate.
Tottenham Hotspur's equipment is undoubtedly the most advanced in the world, and the level of the R&D center is also at the leading level. There are also many talents, including some experts from Oxford and Cambridge, but Meel Seman is still the kind of talent Tottenham Hotspur needs, even Leaf Technology.
You know, Tottenham Hotspur has always cooperated with Leaf Technology, especially in the field of sports medicine, because Leaf Technology has always had the idea of entering the field of medicine and sports health. This is a huge market worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions a year, and Leaf Technology relies on the Android system and its strong market share. It has the potential to enter this field.
Of course, it is not like some companies in Ye Qiu's previous life that launched smart watches or smart bracelets. Ye Zi Technology has always had very high requirements for itself. Wearable devices must launch their own products and at the same time conduct research and development on the outside world. Some technologies and applications are open to investors, but the premise is that they must be innovative products that can continue the glorious brand of Yezi Technology.
For example, Ye Ye Technology is studying the use of its own voice system to act as a personal fitness coach. Through wearable devices, such as bracelets, watches or sensors clipped to clothes, it can sense a series of things such as the holder's body shape, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc. Body data, obtain health status, and then provide targeted guidance, using voice to guide them to perform certain fitness.
The current technology has developed to the point that when the holder is doing some kind of exercise, such as running, if the speed is too fast, the steps are too long, or the feet are raised too high, or the hands are waved too vigorously, the voice system can Point it out directly and correct it.
Of course, there will be many corresponding things, and Yezi Technology is also trying to cooperate with some famous brand watch manufacturers to add some intelligent devices to the famous brand watches and try to innovate the watch industry.
All these require strong and in-depth sports medicine research in the laboratory.
This is also an important reason why Ye Qiu came to Harley Street in person to visit Meier Seeman.
After getting out of the car and walking into a clinic called Mayel Seman, Carly Barnes went directly to the end to look for someone, while Ye Qiu, Mauro Tassotti and others were watching from the outside. Looking at it, I felt a little deserted. Almost as soon as I turned my head, I saw a Belgian with a semi-bald forehead walking out. Besides Carly Barnes, there was another person beside him.
Ye Qiu also knows this person, Bruno Demichelis, an important expert in Chelsea's medical department and a former authoritative expert in Milan laboratory psychology. Ancelotti personally recruited him to the Cobham training base, but now Ancelotti After losing power, his life would probably not be easy. After all, Ye Qiu knew Pini Zahavi's character very well.
"Welcome, Mr. Ye Qiu!" Mayerseman and Demichelis both greeted him with smiles, obviously a little surprised.
When Ye Qiu found Carly Barnes, the latter was originally going to call them to inform them to meet, but Ye Qiu still came in person because he was not acting as the boss of Leaf Technology, but as Tot He comes as the owner and head coach of Nam Hotspur, which requires him to show his sincerity.
Is there anything more sincere than Ye Qiu's visit in person?
"Mauro!" Meierseman went up to meet Mauro Tassotti and was polite.
"It's true of you that you didn't even notify me when you came to London!" Mauro Tassotti has a good relationship with Meierseman. After all, they have four years of working experience together. Although they are not good friends, in the end At least there is still some friendship.
According to Mauro Tassotti, both Meerseman and Demichelis are typical scientific research experts who are not good at socializing or engaging in intrigues, so that AC Milan announced that it would streamline departments. , increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and then operate on the scientific research department of the Milan laboratory, which has contributed most to helping the team win the Champions League, and they can't resist.
If it were other people with a desire for power, they would have used their right to speak to compete with you for power.
After winning the Champions League, AC Milan took action on the Milan laboratory, and the projects of the R&D department were gradually suspended. By around 2009, the technology of the Milan laboratory was basically still at the level of 2007, without any progress. Later, I even turned back.
Back then, Kaka once bombarded the Milan team doctor, and the Ronaldo incident made the Milan laboratory bear the blame.
At that time, the Brazilian performed very well, but he had pain in his thighs and could not perform very well. The Milan laboratory said that he was overweight, muscle burden, etc. However, after Ronaldo successfully lost weight, the problem still existed, so that Ronaldo went to Inter Milan's team doctor for testing. The latter believed it was a calf Achilles tendon problem and asked Ronaldo not to participate in the game.
But the Milan laboratory believes that Ronaldo can definitely play. His so-called pain is more of a psychological effect and shadow. However, after reluctantly playing, Ronaldo's price was to be carried off the field on a stretcher. At that time, everyone including Milan fans heard that he was He yelled, "I shouldn't even be playing!"
Since then, the reputation of the Milan laboratory has declined. Kaka was injured many times, and even Nesta and others were injured repeatedly. In fact, they could not escape the links of the Milan laboratory. At that time, fans all over the world were surprised. What happened to the illustrious Milan laboratory? It turned into what it is now?
The answer is simple. AC Milan’s so-called streamlined department policy not only caused the Milan laboratory to lose the ability to conduct further research, but also caused many of the agency’s technologies to be in a degraded stage. You must know that modern technology is changing with each passing day, let alone a few years. Even if it takes a year, half a year, or even a few months, you may not be able to keep up with the times.
It is also because of this that Bruno Demichelis went to Chelsea with Ancelotti, and Meierseman also left the Milan laboratory in frustration. The departure of the two souls made the Milan laboratory Already exists in name only.
The clinic's business is obviously not good. After all, many wealthy people have their own private doctors. In the field of football clubs, more people still admire Milan Laboratory, and many people don't even know Meerseman.
After Ye Qiu and the others met, they went to the reception area to sit down. Meerseman also introduced the situation of Milan Laboratory under Mauro Tassotti's question. After all, Mauro Tassotti left AC Milan in 2006, and many things happened after winning the Champions League in 2007.
"Why is it so short-sighted?" Mauro Tassotti sighed helplessly after listening to Meerseman's statement.
Meerseman laughed, "You know, when everything goes well, people always feel that it's enough and feel satisfied, so they want to start doing something, such as deleting some things that seem insignificant at ordinary times, so that they can save a lot of so-called expenses." The words are full of irony.
After a deep sigh, Meerseman said, "Remember? In the past, we would let the players eat some carbohydrates, such as pasta, in the locker room 20 minutes after every game. Remember?"
"Well, this habit seems to have started after you came!" Mauro Tassotti thought for a while and said.
"Yes, this can provide the players with some energy they need after the game, and it is also very effective in maintaining physical functions. The players responded very well to it, but it was later stopped because they felt that it had no effect and was a pure waste of money. The game was already over." Meerseman shrugged and said helplessly.
Demichelis shook his head sarcastically after hearing this and said, "Although the laboratory is used by the competitive department, the medical research and development department has been closed. Without the support of the medical research and development department, what can the laboratory do? That is, the number of injured players and the date of injury of the players are growing rapidly. As for the so-called streamlining, how much money has been reduced? Is this streamlining meaningful?"
This is indeed a very interesting question. Perhaps as the operator of the club, Berlusconi or General Manager Galliani, a little bit adds up to a lot, and they can streamline as much as possible, but behind the streamlining, the price paid has made the team lose more painfully. Whether this streamlining is meaningful or not, it depends on one's own opinion.
"Gene!" After chatting for a while, Mauro Tassotti made an invitation on behalf of Ye Qiu, because with Ye Qiu's identity and status, to be honest, if the invitation was rejected, it would be really embarrassing, so Mauro Tassotti took the lead, and then Ye Qiu made the final decision.
"You know, in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur has always insisted on investing in sports medicine. We have our own R&D center and data analysis center. We have the most advanced equipment and talents in the world. We invest a lot of money in this area every year, and we have cooperation with many large companies, professional institutions and top universities."
Tottenham Hotspur's investment in sports medicine has been widely reported by the media in the past few years, and Tottenham Hotspur's injuries in the past few seasons have been very well controlled. Many people even think that Tottenham Hotspur's ability in this regard has even surpassed Milan Laboratory.
Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur are very clear about their own abilities. They still have a big gap with Milan Laboratory in many projects, but in keeping up with the times, they have greatly surpassed Milan Laboratory. After all, many of the equipment and technologies that Ye Qiu Technology has tailored for Tottenham Hotspur are not available in Milan Laboratory.
Moreover, Tottenham's Theobald has many advanced equipment that other teams around the world dream of. These have ensured Tottenham's injury control and prevention in the past few seasons, but a lot of money has been invested every year, at least more than 1 million euros.
"To be honest, Gene, our current research center is not only involved in physical testing, injury prevention and control, but also not only in statistics of players' data. We have developed a system that can make players' data into animations, so that we can understand the players' every move more clearly, even every change of their touch on the court."
"Not only that, our meditation room has a 3D effect, which can restore everything on the court and training ground to the maximum extent, and make it as realistic as possible. At the same time, we are also conducting research on many projects, because we are trying a field that no one has ever tried before, such as spiritual training!"
The two aspects mentioned by Mauro Tassotti are indeed major breakthroughs. The reason is very simple. If we can really understand the players' every move clearly, even the angle and strength of each touch, then football technology will have no secrets for Tottenham Hotspur.
It should be said that with the current high-tech means, applied to youth training, it is not difficult to create a player whose physical fitness is close to or similar to that of a superstar in all aspects, but it can only be in terms of physical fitness.
But Tottenham Hotspur's words are very clear. They have a template-based ability, that is, as long as this technology matures, they can help a player in the technical formation stage to get as close to a certain template as possible, or even a combination of multiple templates.
A player is mainly composed of three areas: body, technology and consciousness. The body is the simplest, the technology is the second, and the consciousness is the most complex. With the ability of the Milan laboratory in the past, it can only achieve physical control, but Tottenham Hotspur can sculpt the player's technology to the maximum extent, which is a very big progress and breakthrough in itself.
And if they really develop a training method at the level of consciousness, then they can train the players they want at will, because youth training itself is shaping a player's body, technology and consciousness.
According to Tottenham Hotspur's scientific training method, they can almost mass-produce top stars such as Messi, Ribery, and Cristiano Ronaldo, or even more perfect stars than them.
Of course, this is a theory, and it is like this in an ideal state, but people are very complex, including many irreversible factors such as uncontrollable personality, but you have to know that being able to achieve such a huge breakthrough is itself a great feat that will change the world of football.
Many people may think that this will make football boring.
This statement itself is wrong, because if this makes football boring, then what is modern football?
In the past, did Maradona, Pele and others have such high technological assistance, such scientific and targeted diet and nutrition requirements? Can the physical fitness of people at that time be compared with that of today?
But now which club in the world does not control the diet of its players? Which club does not conduct scientific training and strengthening of the players' bodies?
Has football become boring because of this?
Meierseman and Demichelis were both shocked, because only they could understand what Ye Qiu and Tottenham Hotspur would bring. It was simply to subvert the existing football order and pattern, making everything that the so-called superstars have now become within reach and become a kind of popularization.
Perhaps, to put it in the words of the Chinese Internet community, Ye Qiu is playing a big game of chess!
