because if we lose too much of it all wrong, we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary. if you want to be the best and professional football, you're going to have to meet the best players, the best training and the best strategy. and now to stay at the top of the game, it's becoming increasingly important to also have the best i got. so how is artificial intelligence changing? football? could you imagine supporting a football team made off of robots? these robots are already able to play against each other on the football field. the goal of the rather comfortable the noise is that by 2050, that robots will be able to the fate. hope all is well champions. to be honest though it's hard to imagine traditional football fans being that excited about

a verbal football team. but technology is becoming more and more important in sport with a fans like it or not. digital clocks, the documenting yellow and red cards. lines, paypal, kate, the rest in the loop, fly radio. and with the help of video system, the referees of a, of the game is assessed from full angles. pitch side monitors, provide video evidence. it's undeniable. professional football is more technical than ever. you all can raise is responsible for a free innovation at the german football association. known as the day of pay doesn't take me commodities, so technology makes sorta fair. it makes decisions, verifiable, more transparent. decisions can be assessed as right or wrong. the vast majority of decisions can be categorized in this way. but fans on always as enthusiastic, it can take a long time to john to, to be evaluated. this is all pass investing,

even having to be careful that the technology doesn't take over now. and you have to differentiate between times when using it make sense. and when it might endanger the nature of the game on the fantasy, i think you know, to, at the end of the day, it still the referee, who must decide whether the outputs provided by match their perception on the picture appear in the to we even have also my, the volume awesome that's and that's where i applications come in. the world football association fee for has already gradually used a new semi automatic off site detector in tournaments, cameras mounted under the stadium roof and census in the bowls and thought out to an hour assistance. this then calculates the relative position of players and the full 500 times the 2nd defend generates the 3 day models and notifies the referee when a player is offside. someone that goes it the whole boat, the upside. it's not to steal that if it is out of the seas that i,

if it is the, are responsible for the decision on the field of play. they uh, is a controversial topic in football, but it's not going anywhere. so football fans might as well in price that and that's where artificial intelligence can actually help as the tech gets better referees will be able to make better decisions. of course, that means training the systems properly and football authorities do need to ensure it's safe. got it against manipulation by humans, the events and peace of using the up 3 of the from out here been revel reuse. we have deliberately manipulated matches. so of course, when introducing new technologies, we must ensure that they run a secure with is it possible for example, that they can not behind or manipulate it? somebody outside, they have them criminal was money, forget to have them come in order for i models to work. they need a lot of data. luckily football already has bucket loads in modern game analysis there to data types this event on like who passed this? how often, and then there's positional data, profess

a minute from the german sport university. cologne explains. we have a, we see positional data in both football and to handle the video in the corresponding visualized position. data. individual players behavior can be extrapolated from positional data. tactical structures of the team can also be recognized. and hate map show who was with during the game. the daughter is gathered, but track is in chest straps worn by. the players for save is around the pitch and show that the data is transmitted securely. the step to then analyze in real time on line. another way of collecting positional data is to evaluate images using so called computer vision. the one difficulty is that not all players are always visible in the image at all. i could be the solution here to the document hub this to us. i hope people are finding the more data you have,

the higher the probably ability that you will find patterns. those patterns can be used to establish your correlation, which can help predict future outcomes. at the end of the day, football is complex. many parameters play a role, but the more parameters i include in my analysis, the closer am to reality. this includes us, this in new york on that and the importance of data is increasing as is the demand from that journalist. they often considered just as important as traditional assistant coaches, but to be able to use the data extensively, analysts need training that they don't have him skills. most match. analysts don't have the programming skills needed for working with data in a targeted and quick fashion vita so all by the sofa comprehensive data collection exist. mostly in top, you are paying lakes, but in the future, a team's success will depend not only on having the best players and coaches, but also the best program is and it's called cost and the ad in uh,

the best thing. now it's all about who builds the best day i, who as to best parameters and who can use outputs from games or trainings. they must draw the right conclusions, communicate essentials to the players, and ultimately improve training programs to people. what do you think's been towards in 19 and analyzing data as quickly as possible with i? i has become a crucial in professional football and it's even able to predict the probability of injuries england international harry cane has invested in an ios system, which is real time data to maximize training programs. this can prevent injuries and optimize performance or artificial intelligence can also detect exhaustion which could help coaches during matches. they'd be able to take place off the field before they even have a chance of getting injured. this is just one area where coaches could make use of iowa and the tech is already helping them to find weaknesses in the off position.

typically match analysis takes place on screen. look here at the german sport university cologne daughter is collected and analyzed, such as police opponents behavior corner kicks, for example, precise, but time can see your 1000. i need you to analyzing a game with video data would take us about 8 hours depending on how many parameters we include, put if we have position data and analyze it with our software, the same task it takes need seconds. so we can evaluate a lot more games in a shorter time. there's a clear advantage for those teams already working with a lot of those who can evaluate more games will more readily recognize hutton's in opponents tactics. and based on that training plans can be tailored for each new opponent. part is less than 10 you a minute says the effectiveness of a new tactical approach can be tested to see and as

a team have access to data from the job input, this wake up kind of what is what these annoying talk to can. you can test new group tactics or new skills beforehand. we can test those things here at the sports university and say the next day whether it made a difference or not. i thought the sliced list is good. until today, such a game starts would become apparent only over the course of the season, or even after a few to fates. but now price stays. an analysis allows for more targeted training tactics that the idea is unsuccessful. are avoided the daniel mehmet football success con, own lead, be planned on a computer who's put this in spots on the other side of the field on the football differs from many other sports in that there was a large element of chance. we're talking 42 percent of all goals scored in unplanned actions that can be trained and defense why the game will always remain

a bit mystical. maybe that's why it's so exciting effect also functions. football will always have that unpredictable element which makes it so loved by millions across the world. but algorithms could still help with many important questions. like how can players improve the game even further? or is it worth buying a certain player? that's what german analysis platform play a is attempting to achieve with their system. top and bottom talent as they spa the on demand document, hudson. the data gives talent visibility, and the more data we have the board visible global talent will be for us. personally, i believe that a i will completely change football and democratize football mia means was i'm gonna have to show klein or mission. so the more accessible data becomes, the easier it will be for smaller clubs who don't have 2050 head scouting teams to find claims for their ranks. this could be the,

the didn't i couldn't find city. i didn't get a bunch of the highlight platform play uh, analyzes data to find the next generation of football stubs making recommendations to clubs on who to look out for play, use as data from football associations, but also it collects its own missing all of human 9 snorted sheets to then we also note whether someone scores a one new oral for new whether someone passes forward or backward 6 got whether it happens under pressure, whether it triggers something since whether it influences the rest of the game. this involves 400 data points, which we have converted into 12 mega matrices, 12 data points that are most important for a particular position, and just to just to be might be of interest to them. today play a composite and compares data from close to a 1000000 football games. what small 300000 players are documented in the system, such as buying unix, jamal, and we'll see all put in seattle and copeland kind of. yeah,

it's fine. extreme to know plans via i can see what his potential is on our end as a club. i can plan for that. yeah. i see. 2024 is he's here and after that to lose a little momentum. yeah. but not significantly in 2025, 2026. you'll continue to play at the top of this game and position the role of the met him. i mentioned it to make his claim the i o i can calculate players. future performance with an a press is 90 percent accuracy. to further improve the full costs of frequently monitored and results scrutinized. could this main goodbye for its human kind of puts me in these that fire stick and my son, vincent, of the honest dusty machine and runs us as i can. and the question implies a kind of fear, a few of that machines will take over football and everything else too. i don't believe that will happen. it will never happen in my by even to my thoughts that of

i'm of the mention on with progress. it always depends on whether we can approach innovation fearlessly, bravely and wisely, to make better decisions. not on, i thought best of it and tried on suppression, embracing tech. it can only be beneficial for football, unfortunately based system still on available for everyone. some of them such as play a, a currently only focusing on the men's game. and it's clear that to use a line football the moment you need cash. so we'll artificial intelligence actually make the game better, or will it just make the beach club strong go let us know what you think and see you next to the what do you see? it really is possible to reverse age researchers and scientists

all over the world for a no race against time. they are peers and arrival with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube, dw documentary people and trucks in job trying to feed the city center or read the straight pieces to explain the around the world more than 150000000 people. we

ask mine because no one should have to make up your own mind. dw, may 4 mines the the joy of a wedding in tens in the they're one of these beautiful women. and every day life in germany, christie and kaiser is a doctor at a german university clinic. his wife, irene, comes from townsend in a couple live together in my book. and i have 2 daughters, christy and dreams of moving the whole family to townsend and where he wants to work as a doctor. irene, though,

is less than enthusiastic. this began in 91 tons in the wood. i don't necessarily want to be the longer to the plan. so the music, i would never leave my children here and your life. and let me think about it, take the kids and they do have it in the middle of this. you know, i mean, easily that's fine. i have a southern clear that could be an opportunity for me to go there for a few years. i'm probably out to move the content as long as it works for the family. if somebody give me time, the irene and christiane met in 2010 when he was until them in jars for a medical research project. irene's home was right on the mountain. vinnish flu, martin, one of the morning i passed by a building site. you know, i mean time town it was then among old a male construction was a young.
