How much data is helping Germany into the European Cup semi-finals? -Big data, euro-IT information
CNBC, according to foreign media reports, data for Germany soccer national team a competitive advantage. SAP and Germany Football Association jointly developed two large data analysis applications, helping Germany team euro 2016.
One-fourth 2006 World Cup final, Germany and Argentina a penalty showdown, when goalkeeper Yansi·laien (Jens Lehmann) had brought a wrinkled piece of paper. It was his goalkeeping coach for his cheat sheet, including how to stop Argentina tips for potential penalty taker. Germany eventually won a penalty by 4:2 score.
10 years later, Germany current keeper Manuel Neuer (Manuel Neuer) to much more sophisticated "weapons". The weapon also helps him in the European Cup semi-final with Italy suffocating blocked each other's penalty shoot-out success, Germany 6:5 to score the semi-final. In the semifinals, Germany lost 0-2 to France were eliminated.
Two insights into the opponent's application
Germany Football Association to join hands in a software company SAP has developed two technologies, aims to tap the potential of big data analytics, found an opponent's strengths and weaknesses before the game. First application SAP Challenger Insights provides an opponent's characteristics, defensive style, attacking style and formation information. Another Penalty Insights Function is an application designed to help the goalie and coach know opponent penalty habit.
Players and coaches in the locker room with iPad Pro tablet computers to use the two apps, are driven by SAP HANA cloud platform.
SAP global sports and entertainment Manager Stephan Wagner (Stefan Wagner) to CNBC said in a telephone interview, "they can see in real time the opponent's lineup will be like, will help the players to stay focused. ”
Wagner explains, for example, if maliao·GE CE (Mario G?tze) know to Challenger Insights application one opponent, he can find the player's personal data, weak points and as many as six shows video clips of their ability on the pitch.
In order to gain a tactical advantage, in the past, many teams before the match in a last-minute lineup changes, playing opponents off guard.
"Generally, all teams will be against the rival squad prepare printing information, and opponents as soon as lineup changes, all information will be useless. "Wagner said.
Challenger Insights to development applications and SAP jointly Sporthochschule sports University Cologne, campaign for euro 2016 Germany team collected and analyzed data on all competitors and their players. When opponents change the lineup, and coaching can be done by simple drag-and-drop functionality in the application of simulating those lineup changes.
Penalty Insights Function development, Wagner said Germany team put forward a key demand: the application to do simple enough to facilitate players to analyze the data themselves.
For example, Neuer can through the application view which players more has may penalty penalty, they in huge pressure Xia (they of team whether in behind) usually will has how of performance, they more of will ball played to goal of right Shang angle also is left Xia angle, they penalty penalty Shi of approach attitude, other of game situation Xia and will has how of performance, such.
Those historical reference data provided by the Heim:Spiel, processed by the SAP. This application also has a player in a specific game situation penalty video clips, video video database from third-party providers.
"A new generation of players interested in data, analysis reports they would like to see the game ... ... They can accept this new technology. "Wagner said. Germany team players most of the millennial generation are keen on technology.
First data analysis
In fact, the Germany Football Association in cooperation with SAP has more than 10 years, mainly back-end operational cooperation.
And it's the first time I tried large data analysis during the 2014 World Cup, which Germany team eventually won the Championship. SAP Germany developed a Match by the Football Association Insight application, allowing coaches to study on the screening of video footage to the players how to behave in a particular situation, you can analyze the game data. SAP also provides a mobile application called SAP Team One App, players and coaches to share on video, graphics, tactics as well as internal communications.
After the end of the 2014 World Cup, SAP turns the application into a commercial solution. The business solution called SAP Sports One sold mainly to the football club.
Lots of data analysis techniques to provide the competition. Wagner pointed out that, in theory, SAP for the Germany Football Association development and application of technology can be used to provide coaching tactics and strategy advice, but the two sides have no intention to go this direction. "We and Germany national team share a common philosophy: they have a coach, they have a coaching team, who make game decisions. We just provide the facts to help them make decisions. ”
大数据是如何助德国队打进欧洲杯半决赛的？ - 大数据,欧洲杯 - IT资讯
据国外媒体CNBC报道，大数据给德国足球国家队带来了竞争优势。SAP和德国足协联手开发了两款大数据分析应用，助德国队征战2016欧洲杯。
2006年世界杯四分之一决赛，德国与阿根廷点球决胜负，当时的门将延斯·莱恩（Jens Lehmann）随身带了一张起皱的纸。那是他的守门教练写给他的备忘单，包含如何阻挡阿根廷潜在的点球手的小贴士。德国最终以4比2的比分赢得点球战。
10年后，德国现任门将曼努埃尔·诺伊尔（Manuel Neuer）则拥有更为先进的“武器”。该武器也帮助他在欧洲杯半决赛与意大利令人窒息的点球决战中成功阻击对方的点球手，让德国队以6比5的比分晋级半决赛。而在半决赛中，德国队0-2不敌法国队被淘汰。
两款洞察对手的应用
德国足协携手软件公司SAP开发了两项技术，目的是挖掘大数据分析的潜力，在赛前发现对手的强点和弱点。第一项应用程序SAP Challenger Insights提供对手的特点、防守风格、进攻风格及阵型方面的信息。另一项应用程序Penalty Insights Function则旨在帮助守门员和教练了解对手球员罚点球的习惯。
球员和教练可以在更衣室利用iPad Pro平板电脑来使用那两款应用，它们由SAP HANA云平台驱动。
SAP体育与娱乐全球总经理史蒂芬·瓦格纳（Stefan Wagner）在电话采访中向CNBC表示，“他们可以实时看到对手的阵容会是什么样，能够帮助球员们保持专注。”
瓦格纳举例解释道，如果马里奥·格策（Mario G?tze）想要在Challenger Insights应用上了解一下某一位对手，他可以找到该球员的个人数据、强弱点以及多达六个显示其在球场上的能力的视频剪辑。
为了获得战术性优势，过往很多球队都会在赛前的最后一刻更改阵容，打对手个措手不及。
“通常来说，所有的球队都会针对对手的阵容准备一些印刷资料，而对手一旦改变阵容，那些资料全都会没用。”瓦格纳说。
为了开发Challenger Insights应用，SAP联手体育大学Sporthochschule Cologne，为征战2016欧洲杯的德国队收集和分析所有对手及其球员方面的数据。当对手改变阵容时，教练可以通过简单的拖放功能在应用中模拟那些阵容变化。
Penalty Insights Function的开发方面，瓦格纳称，德国队提出了一项关键的要求：该应用程序要做得足够简单，方便球员自行分析数据。
例如，诺伊尔可以通过该应用查看哪些球员更有可能罚点球，他们在巨大压力下（他们的球队是否处于落后）通常会有怎样的表现，他们更多的将球踢到球门的右上角还是左下角，他们罚点球时的助跑姿态，其它的比赛形势下又会有怎样的表现，诸如此类。
那些历史参考数据由Heim:Spiel提供，经过SAP的处理。该应用还配有显示球员在具体比赛形势下罚点球的视频片段，视频来自第三方提供商的视频数据库。
“新一代的运动员对于数据很有兴趣，他们想要看到比赛的分析报告……他们都很能接受这种新技术。”瓦格纳说道。德国队的球员大多数都是热衷于科技的千禧一代。
初尝大数据分析
事实上，德国足协与SAP已经合作超过10年时间，主要是后端运营方面的合作。
而它第一次尝试大数据分析是在2014年世界杯期间，那一届德国队最终问鼎冠军。当时SAP给德国足协开发了一款名为Match Insight的应用程序，让教练可以筛选比赛视频片段来研究球员在特定情况下会如何表现，还可以分析比赛数据。SAP还提供了一款名为SAP Team One App的移动应用，让球员和教练可以在上面共享视频、图像、战术以及进行内部沟通。
在2014世界杯结束后，SAP将该应用转变成一项商业解决方案。该名为SAP Sports One的商业解决方案主要卖给足球俱乐部。
很多的数据分析技术会给用户提供比赛意见。瓦格纳指出，理论上，SAP用以为德国足协开发应用的技术可用来提供执教战术和策略方面的建议，不过双方都无意往这一方向探索。“我们与德国国家队有着共同的理念：他们有教练，他们有教练团队，他们来做比赛决策。我们只是提供事实数据来帮助他们做决策。”
