Is Neymar really No.1? Here's the football technology that says he is | IQ Onefootball Docs

the objective of size 4 is not to make

money we want to revolutionize football

it's like playing chess and try to be

two steps in front of the opponent it's

the future if you do good things then

your value is is growing and it's good

for something

[Music]

my name is Anthony Beryl 22 years old

and I'm a project manager at SCI sports

right now we're at the head Lac let's

all Melo stadium and tonight there's a

division match Arrakis vs Sparta we're

here to check out the ball change system

during that match voltage is the first

system that could automatically and

autonomously generate 3d data out of

football matches I've always been a

football fan

that's actually how we started by trying

to rebuild football manager by

evaluating every player around the world

a 1 index at one moment we saw the data

that we got from other companies was

just not accurate enough and then we

said well we can continue by using the

data of others or we can try to find a

solution that could track everything in

a match taking the gaming approach with

the passion for football and adding

technology in the entire combination

what we do is we have 14 cameras

installed at a stadium and these cameras

film the match throughout 90 minutes the

challenge years to get synchronicity so

what we do is we use optical fiber to

transport it to a server that is placed

in the control room it's not that fancy

whether everything is working properly

we have five cameras Berg penalty area

focusing on an area as it's the most

crowded area during a game then there's

four cameras aimed at the center of the

page to film the rest of the players and

using a machine learning engine we can

detect players the ball and from that we

can generate statistics and data that

can be used by clubs

sighs boss is working with a lot of

clubs at this moment but we are one of

the first clubs who joined sighs pause

the trainer's they know much more about

the players now the distances the speed

sprints and I'm know much more what kind

of training they can give the players to

get them fed up that's the extra power

we get with this kind of data at this

the dressing room of the our first team

as you see we play a game is evening and

that's why all the shirts and stuff all

ready for the game when I started the

playing professional soccer that's about

16 years ago

sometimes we train with heartrate

systems but that was the only data we

had at the end for all of the clubs it's

good to get more information about the

players you want to have a new team

barber host it's a striker from a set of

Mara at this moment that he came here

because he was an underrated player size

sports said to us we bought him for a

little price from a lower league club

and we sold them to a set achma for a

good price o players gonna use it all so

you make choices which are the best for

their career I know for example that

Memphis depay he made his choice to

Olympique Lyon because of the data of

size pots they can compare clubs and

compare the qualities of a player to

water club needs

[Music]

well although we have the system

installed right now we test and see

whether we can improve the system by

using different type of camera so that's

what we're looking at right now

[Applause]

[Music]

what we're doing here you see if you

cover us and we're looking like how good

is the camera how good can you operate

and let's say very smart condition so

we're looking at let's say the corners

of the squares if the quality is still

good so you see it's already becoming a

little bit blurry and what are we

looking for that we from a certain

distance can clearly identify jersey

numbers so right now we're going to

record a few samples and compare them

afterwards and then we take them back to

the office

this entire block belongs to size pores

and every department is located within a

different office if you look here you

saw the boys of data scouting so you see

a lot of football scores even some

football shirts many of the football

jerseys are from players that we work

with or for or presence from some of our

clients this is where ball james is

developed what we see here is just a

moment of football game we see every

player identified we see the ball

identified we're now tracking the ball

and once you've done that we can

pinpoint which player it is you can

follow his movement what you see as well

as the speed with which the players move

you can zoom in zoom out is not a 3d

model but it's tracked within 3d and to

create this we need imagery from

multiple perspectives so this is a

database this is an example of Neymar

lost somewhere he made a transfer

breaking the transfer record as she went

from Barcelona to publication man the

fun thing about Neymar 3 years ago

we always had Messi or Ronaldo at the

top and since a couple of months Neymar

is our new number one

so is he worth being the most expensive

footballer on this planet according to

our data is and then you might think how

can we validate that we try to predict

the outcome of the matches and to

determine whether we're right of course

you look at the real world would we also

look at how the bookies predict matches

it's a fun thing to realize that you're

actually

outperforming these people make a living

by predicting the matches but the

objective of size 4 is not to make money

we want to revolutionize football
