At Concordia Hamburg, Schwarziptelligenz - Kicke decides

Oberliga Hamburg 1

* Home page * Gameday * Table

In the future, Concordia Hamburg's Physiotherapist hurries to the place to provide an injured player will trigger hectic operation in thousands of living rooms. Reason: The Oberligist leaves a community of so-called "managers" in real time via app and Internet forums from the Season 2021/22 starting on Friday on Friday 2021/22, who will be replaced in the case described above. And not only that.

The "Schwarziptelligenz", such as club president Matthias Seidel - by the way, the founder of the Internet portal "transfermarkt.de" - that community repeatedly refers, should become the decisive factor in "CORDI". Under the project name "Rock IT", the users should set the starting position and also interfere in scouting and transfers. "Open only if the managers can demand a concrete player or just a specific player profile, say that the association will give the order to commit a fast center." Because the system in its current form tested for two dressing games is by no means carved in stone. "That's the exciting, if you are now quasi of hour zero, that you can develop the project," says Seidel.

Important was the association that all protagonists face this form of power distribution positively. That's the case, underlines Seidel, who told that even players were even changed to Concordia or remained at the club because they would find this project so interesting. And coach Frank Pieper of Valtier, who must put his power to a large extent in user hands? He feels the "enrichment and competitive advantage", so Seidel, and if you come to a visualize that the community will get many statistical measured variables such as duel ratio or mileage of a player from a professional data supplier during the 90 minutes in addition to the live stream of the game in real time. If one demonstrates which competitive advantage could be meant. Because only the few top league trainers will have such data at hand at hand.

Using lightning surveys, the decisions are made, in the games of Concordia will be a so-called "connection man" on site, which immediately passes the coach the commands of the users immediately. Can Pieper from Valtier no longer decide? It is not that extreme then, because the head coach has so-called "Joker", with which he can overrange the Schwarziptelligenz. But he has to earn this joker first, especially through games obtained. This comes in situations to carry in which the coach has an information advantage. Seidel: "This can then be the case, for example, if the coach looks deep in the eyes of one of the managers of the managers and sees that this makes a rather less self-confident impression or when the coach - for example due to a tactical changeover of the opponent - another player type as the needs determined by the users. " But Pieper needs that Joker from Valtier. Not quite clear is whether Joker is equal to Joker, or if you need more Joker's blockade more joker than, for example, for a change in the 90th minute at 3: 0.

Trainer question under certain signs

The coach as a partner of the mass - yet what if the coach himself is the crossfire of the criticism? Here is conceivable that the users can also push through a coach change, but not at any time. "One could install conditions, for example, that only then can be tuned via a coach change if at a defined time the team is worse than a specific table space and / or if there was a certain number of defeats in a bit," says Seidel, It refuses that users have to deal with such a far-reaching step after smaller failures. "That's not fun for the people when a joke in a single defeat in an otherwise good season immediately puts the coach question." It just need to be reliable rules, says Concordia President.

All coordination processes would have to be "practicable", so Seidel, which is important at the same time that the "clubhealth" remains preserved despite everything. Just so change the club colors or the logo, which will not be possible while the jersey design or the choice of the training camp would be more topics that could judge the community. Seidel pushes another example associated with the stadium experience on the matchday: "The managers could also specify whether we want to grant mothers on Mother's Day free admission."

Incidentally, the managers can participate not only from the home sofa, but also on site. Seidel wants to set up an area in the stadium in which community members can meet and vote from there. Of course, among other things, it requires a stable internet connection, after all, the performance values ​​of the players in the live stream and the all-decisive votes on objections must work reliably.

Reliable and clear are also the goals of the association: the regional league should be. This was done in summer a lot on the transfer market. "The squad definitely has the potential for the top three," says Seidel. First - this shows the past - you do not have to be mandatory to jump into the 4th league, since just in the Oberliga Hamburg last some teams had renounced their rise right, be it Victoria Hamburg or Martin Harnik's Tus Dassorf.

Seidel and his fellow infrastructure work in parallel, although a stadium project in an industrial area of ​​the Wandswisten district administration was first rejected and thereby laid on ice: with the district division TSV Wandsetal was a lease on the use of Dessem Sportpark Hirschenfelde, the 650 seats and Total space for the 1000 viewers offers, signed. The local Blomkamp gives Seidel, be a more "unsightly" sports field and is also needed for the great demand for youth football.

Although the Sports Park Hirschenfelde is in principle regional league, but for so-called "security games", as against the VFB Lübeck or Altona 93, would have to be retrofitted. "For this, a sum of about 30,000 euros would be necessary," says Seidel, who also sets the Schwarzniptelligenz: "That's exactly what the managers might tailor the managers to the stadium in the event of a case. Or if you rent a different stadium for this sum. "

Sabotage of competition?

A spark skepticism remains whether the hamburgers do not make themselves prone to the competition with their project. So that any sabotage attempts from fans of other clubs do not lead to success, loud Seidel need a "critical mass" from 3000 to 5000 participants. In this regard, "Cordi" is on a good way. The conversation is that every manager gathers more and more voting rights over time, the more often he participated in votes in the past. In addition, technically worked on surveillance tools, so that foreigners can not make club-damaging decisions.

Incidentally, the idea of ​​such a fan democracy is Neu, Fortuna Cologne also tried between 2008 and 2011 also on a similar project. But from a competitive advantage, a disadvantage became. Seidel got exactly and explained in an example why it has failed at that time and what Concordia wants to do differently: "At some point, the users were also able to vote how much salary should get a possible newcomer and then waited the competition and then shortly before contract signature Just stopped a few euros and already the Fortuna was pronounced. " So without the "clubhealth" addressed by Seidel, it will probably not go.
