The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 670 What is a Genius?

I still remember that Ye Qiu once invited Spike, a very famous and authoritative psychology professor from Harvard University, and Stanislas, a famous cognitive scientist from the French National Institute of Medical Research, to give lectures in Theobald, and they They all mentioned a very interesting topic in the lectures without exception, which is genius!
They say that everything in this world is common and interconnected.

Just like what James Cameron mentioned in the movie [Avatar], all animals, plants, humans, and even all creatures on the entire planet Pandora are closely related.

The same is true for the earth, more so for people, and even more so for football and other industries.

So, in the eyes of these authoritative scientific researchers, what is genius?

They think that there is no difference in the essence of each person, there is no distinction between genius and mediocrity, maybe one person is a genius in one aspect, but a fool in other aspects, and another person may be a fool in this aspect , but in a certain aspect he is a first-class genius.

These experts mentioned a very instructive saying that the so-called genius, or the so-called talent, is closely related to whether you focus on a certain thing, and the level of talent is related to your ability to do this. Concentration and the length of time invested are directly proportional!
In order to make it easier for these players and coaches to understand this argument, they often use some football stars as examples, just like Ronaldo, everyone said he is a genius, the most talented after Pele and Maradona, He is also the most talented super genius, and he is a figure at the level of the king of the ball.

"If you read Ronaldo's autobiography or listen to his own words, you will find that he spent his whole childhood with football, even sleeping with football in his arms. He was born in poverty, his only interest in childhood, the only His only form of entertainment is to play football, that's the only thing he can do, and he's only interested in it."

"Assuming that Ronaldo is also interested in football, but Ronaldo has devoted countless time and energy to it. Another peer does not have his concentration and devotion. Over time, Ronaldo's understanding of football and his understanding of football The use of skills is far away from his peers, and what he shows is full of talent, a genius!"

"Then you can look at other geniuses, Ronaldinho, Raul, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben...almost all the so-called talented players basically come here , Their talents, their so-called geniuses, are actually built by their dedicated dedication to football from childhood to adulthood."

"In this world, there is no genius, only hard work!"

Of course, these experts also put forward a point of view, that is, everyone’s growth environment and various subjective and objective factors make their thinking impossible to be exactly the same, and different thinking may cause them to have different opinions on different things. Therefore, the same person appeared. In football, he is a genius, but in other industries he is a fool!
In the same way, those with high football sensitivity and strong thinking ability can make great progress after playing football for four hours, but those with low football sensitivity and weak thinking ability, The same four hours, the same coaches, but their progress may be slower, or even no progress.

This has nothing to do with the level of IQ, but has something to do with the person's hobbies and his concentration.

There may be many people who cannot understand the statements of these experts, and many people may even question their statements, but Christian Eriksson agrees with this statement very much, because this statement makes him very clear Seeing his growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood, because he has been in contact with football since he was three years old.

I still remember that when he was in De Tokmoster of Ajax, Eriksson once heard Ajax's football consultant Bobby Harms tell a lot about the past superstars, and also told I have read the story about Michels, and one of the very instructive things is that the so-called total defense, or the so-called football talent, are actually all running out.

"A lot of people say how good Total Football is, how good it is, and others say how good Tottenham Hotspur are and how good Barcelona are. In the final analysis, all their tactics, all football tactics throughout the ages, are based on the On the basis of running, whoever runs more, is smarter, and is more threatening will be able to dominate the game!"

Many people have not noticed it, or maybe it is because the Eredivisie league where Ajax is located is no longer paid attention to. When Eriksson was in Ajax, his running ability has always been very good, even for a long time. Stay in the first position of the team's running distance, and do not lose to Sandro, a midfielder.

At that time, he averaged more than [-] kilometers in many games at Ajax. With this kind of non-stop running and cruising, he found more and more that if you run more , if you move more and you can focus on the game, you will find that you can capture more opportunities.

I still remember that Peter de Wiesel later went to Ajax to inspect Eriksson. He praised the Dane for his improved passing vision and more threatening passes. Eriksson was modest at the time. Said that it was because he ran more.

Although de Vissel didn't say anything at the time, judging from his expression and the fact that Tottenham Hotspur called him back to North London soon, the team is very satisfied with his progress, especially in the on the run.

However, after coming to North London, the team has higher demands on him.

If you just want to run, anyone can, all professional players can run, but the kind of running that Tottenham Hotspur want is not the kind of aimless running, but a purposeful, clear Know what you want to do, and at the same time not the kind of running that wastes energy at will.

You know, many defensive players always complain that the offensive players in the frontcourt do not work hard and do not actively return to the defense, but many offensive players also have problems. He said that if I actively return to the defense too much, firstly, I will consume a lot of energy. There will be less inspiration on offense.

This is actually a kind of self-contradictory thing.

It seems impossible to require a player to have super physical strength and unparalleled foot skills at the same time, because these two things are relatively contradictory and cannot appear at the same time.

So, at Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu will tell you one of their philosophy, balance!
You have to work hard to learn, to grasp that trace of balance, how to take care of defense while ensuring your own offensive threat!

Ye Qiu often said, "People's potential is unlimited. The reason why you feel that you can't do it is because your requirements for yourself are not high enough. When you feel discouraged, when you want to give up, when you feel that you can't do it time, then you hold your heart, tell yourself, grit your teeth, I can do it!"

"As long as you survive this most difficult process, then congratulations, you have defeated yourself and you have made progress!"

In Tottenham Hotspur, Eriksen saw many things. He saw Ramsey running on the pitch and vomiting, but in a blink of an eye he appeared on the pitch again. He saw Couty In addition to training, Neo asked the coaching staff to provide him with physical strengthening training because he found that he lacked stamina.

He also saw Phil Jones doing those boring basic movements every day, which he basically no longer deliberately practiced after the age of ten. He also saw big names such as Messi, Ribery and other superstars doing it every day On the training ground, the training arrangements of the coaching staff are meticulously implemented.

It is impossible for any one person's success to be a fluke!

Therefore, in Tottenham Hotspur, as long as he can get a chance to play, Eriksson will go all out, even if he only appears in cup games or some substitute and rotation games, but he knows very well that these For him, it was a valuable experience, and it was also an opportunity for him to prove his determination and attitude to the head coach Ye Qiu.

In this game, he played on the left central midfielder, similar to Ramsey's position, and he is also performing his duties through running without hesitation. He can participate in offense and organization in the future, and he will also actively participate in the future. Returning to defense, especially playing in the middle, the current middle players are under heavy defensive pressure, and almost no one does not defend.

Although the team was at a disadvantage, being overwhelmed by Everton, and also scored first by the opponent, Eriksson and his teammates were not discouraged. As Phil Jones said when he cursed, it is better to be ahead If you want to cheat a penalty, you are so fucking immoral. Does it mean that we are young and easy to bully?

No matter what, we are all wearing Tottenham Hotspur jerseys, we cannot embarrass the team!
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur launched a round of frenzied pressing against Everton. Eriksson was also up and down in front, running and sprinting back and forth non-stop. The same is true for Neo on the left. This Brazilian also has a tenacity, a tenacity that refuses to admit defeat.

Sandro blocked Pienaar with his body when he dropped back to participate in the defense, intercepted the ball and handed it to Pogba, who quickly knocked back to Nastasic, who gave it to the left. Alba, the entire midfield of Tottenham Hotspur moved forward quickly, turning from defense to offense.

Alba saw an opportunity and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt with a big foot.

At the front of Everton's 30-meter zone, Coutinho, who is short in stature and poor in confrontation ability, used his body to block Heitinga behind him. He looked so weak and vulnerable, But he refused to move his position, even though Heitinga kept running behind him, harassing and influencing him with small movements, but he just didn't move.

When the ball comes, it is almost impossible for Coutinho to beat Heitinga. He is not in the same weight class as his opponent at all. The difference is huge, the opponent can make his body lose his balance with a single force, so he chose to pass the ball.

I saw Coutinho take a step forward, leaning forward, headed Alba's pass to Eriksson who came up behind him, and he lost his balance directly and fell to the ground.

Heitinga raised his arms for a moment, indicating that he did not foul. The referee did not blow his whistle because of the principle of offensive advantage. Eriksson took the ball and took two steps towards the middle, and saw Phil Neville And Fellaini both came over, they both obviously wanted to suppress Eriksson.

Eriksson passed the ball to Raul who retreated, but Phil Neville and Fellaini formed a triangle double-team with Jagielka who retreated with Raul, and Raul immediately passed the ball forward Pushed and knocked back to Eriksson, otherwise he would be double-teamed and unable to pass the ball.

The Dane moved to the middle, Pogba was beside him, and Phil Jones was rushing forward in the distance. Eriksson did not hesitate at all, and once again split the ball from the side, and the ball came from Drenthe Passed from behind, Phil Jones rushed forward quickly, and soon caught up with the ball at the edge of the right corner of the penalty area.

This kick was pretty good. It was not easy to see Phil Jones and pass the ball in a hurry.

Phil Jones was not too sticky to the ball, because Drenthe followed him, so he saw an opportunity, and even imitated Beckham's posture, opened his arms, swung his right foot, and kicked directly pass the ball.

This cross passed over Drenthe's head, crossed an arc, and landed in the middle of the penalty area. At this time, Raul had already quickly recoiled into the penalty area, ahead of Rodwell, and jumped high. From the beginning, although Rodwell behind him consciously wanted to prevent him from scoring with a header, Raul was smarter, facing the incoming ball head-on, and headed the ball to the ground.

At this moment, Neymar came out from the back, stabbed the ball directly into Everton's goal, 1:1!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the on-site commentator, Neymar opened his mouth wide, let out a loud laugh, opened his arms, and rushed out of the field to the corner stand where the Tottenham Hotspur fans were. An action of raising arms and shouting immediately got cheers from Tottenham Hotspur fans.

"what!!!!!!!!"

All the Tottenham Hotspur players rushed over and hugged Neymar tightly. A group of people hugged tightly on the sidelines. They were sweating profusely, and even wore jerseys and shorts all over their bodies. They are all sticky, but this does not affect their excitement at this moment.

1:1, they equalized the score! ! !

"This goal is very beautiful!!!" The commentator in charge of explaining this game gave a high evaluation of this goal, "Tottenham Hotspur's young players are very impressive , Coutinho is short, but he plays the role of a pillar in the frontcourt, and he just won the ball from Heitinga's physical confrontation."

"Eriksen's running is also very active. He was still returning to defense just now, and he came to meet Coutinho in a blink of an eye, and after he cooperated with Raul's collision with the wall this time, he was assigned to Phil Jones on the right. The kick was really beautiful and thoughtful."

"Phil Jones followed up with this pass, which is very Beckham's posture, and it also made us realize that this player is not only fierce, he also has a technical side, and this The quality of the pass is very high, but the most beautiful one is Raul, a Spanish veteran with rich experience, calm in danger, and headed back to Neymar!"

"The whole offensive routine is transferred from the left to the center, then to the right, and then back to the center from the right. The whole process reflects the characteristics of Tottenham Hotspur's attack. Through this kind of running and passing Stop pulling, it's very threatening!"

After the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff on the sidelines saw the team's goal, many people rushed out of their seats excitedly. Ye Qiu couldn't help standing up, clenched his fists and closed his eyes, obviously heaving a sigh of relief, and then told Mauro Tassotti and others celebrated their return with high fives, walked to the sidelines, and clapped vigorously at the players on the field.

Being able to withstand the pressure to equalize the score when they were behind and under such huge pressure, the performance of this group of teenagers is impressive. Ye Qiu is very satisfied with their performance, very satisfied, and it is even impossible to ask for more too much.

Moyes looked very depressed, because he found that he was the main force, but facing Tottenham Hotspur's second team, he was gradually losing the initiative in the game, especially in the last dozen or so In minutes, it was almost impossible to find an effective way to break the goal of Tottenham Hotspur.

In the past few seasons, Everton has been able to stand in the extremely competitive environment of the Premier League, relying on the team's overall style of play and the high morale of the players, but Moyes also has to admit Now that the game has progressed, they must have a new round of understanding of this group of young players from Tottenham Hotspur.

At least, they are not as weak and deceitful as they seem in their age!
And when Everton kicked off again, Tottenham Hotspur were still pressing and oppressing Everton fiercely, hoping to have a chance to score again, but Everton was obviously on guard this time. The halftime was coming to an end soon, so Moyes' team played more patiently, for fear of being accidentally caught by the opponent again.

The game finally ended in this kind of dull back and forth pressing. The two sides drew 1:1 in the first half, but on the whole, Everton still had the advantage, while Tottenham Hotspur's side although The situation was reversed in the last ten minutes, but the consumption of the players was very high, and it is still unknown whether this style of play can be continued in the second half.

After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, many Tottenham Hotspur players, including Coutinho, Eriksson, Sandro, etc., fell down on the field. When the auxiliary physical energy is almost exhausted, anyone can see that their physical energy is close to exhaustion.

Under such circumstances, it is still unknown whether they will be able to maintain this style of play in the second half, or even the entire game in the second half.
