Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson sat in his office, holding a copy of The Times in his hand, his face was cloudy, staring at an article in the sports section and reading it over and over again, titled "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels", signed: Qiao Wanxian.

When Ferguson heard that Joe Cannon had published his football philosophy in the newspaper for coaches around the world to refer to, he couldn't believe his ears, how could this be? Even he himself can't be so selfless, even in the face of his assistant Queiroz, he has a lot of hidden skills.

I hurriedly asked the staff to buy a copy of "The Times", and I couldn't laugh and cry when I saw such a spoof article. However, Ferguson and Qiao Wanxian have fought 3 times before and after, without exception, they are the result of failure, facing a person who has experienced 3 consecutive defeats, this is definitely something that the old man has never had in his life, so he has to study!

Ferguson whispered the outline of the article with the newspaper: "The world's martial arts are unbreakable, only fast and unbreakable!" ”

For Chinese kung fu, he still has a little bit of it, and it is very legendary. He frowned and continued to look down, gradually his brow furrowing.

The general content of "invincible" is that no matter how strong a team's defense is, it cannot be an impermeable wall, it must have its own destiny, and once it is discovered by the opponent, it is the moment when the defense line collapses. Then he gave a lot of examples, such as "Iron Head Gong" and "King Kong is not bad or bad", which sounds very bluffing, but they are not invincible martial arts in the world.

In the explanation of "only fast and unbreakable", it mainly depicts the peerless light skills such as "Ling Bo Weibu", "Divine Travel", "One Reed Crossing the River", even if Duan Yu, Wei Xiaobao, and Sikong are not good at picking stars, but relying on the unparalleled light skills in the world, they can be invincible.

There are a lot of "proprietary" nouns of martial arts in this paragraph, which makes Ferguson think a lot to read, but fortunately, after a series of metaphors, he finally ushered in the content of football, which made his eyes widen.

"Speed is the eternal truth! It's not as good as Chelsea, a lot of people ask me how many young players I have bought, and I'll tell you the answer now, young players are energetic and faster! Of course, that doesn't mean I don't like the old players, and it's a well-known fact that passing the ball is faster than dribbling. ”

"When a player gets older and his speed drops, he has to have a great passing ability, which can greatly extend his football life. If two players are at the same level of passing and shooting when setting up, then the faster side must be chosen. Like martial arts, Wei Xiaobao can be unscathed by relying on his 'magic and change', and the players can also greatly make up for the omissions at both offensive and defensive ends by relying on speed. ”

"Of course, speed is only a medium to achieve victory, and the real way to win requires lethal moves. According to the theme of 'martial arts' in this article, the killing moves to win can be divided into external skills, internal skills, weapons and other techniques. As I said before, relying on King Kong's incorruptible defense to win the chance to win is not the work of the top masters, but the internal skills and weapons are the mastery of the real grandmaster-level martial arts masters. ”

At this time, a dense layer of sweat beads appeared on Ferguson's brain, he lifted his glasses, looked at his manuscript paper, and found that more than 30 martial arts "proprietary" nouns that he did not understand had been written on it, which was even more elusive than binary computer proper nouns.

But reading and reading, Ferguson also faintly felt that there seemed to be some truth in it, could it be that this Qiao Cannon really relied on martial arts theory to support the team's tactical system? Ferguson patiently wiped his sweat and continued to read.

"The internal strength in martial arts is the midfield on the football field, and the weapon is the front. I know that it is difficult for readers to have such profound wisdom as me, and I have no choice but to tirelessly solve your doubts. Anyone who has read martial arts novels knows that internal skills are the most difficult to practice and the most difficult to practice, while external skills and weapons are relatively easy. ”

"Although internal strength is difficult, once practiced, it is invincible in the world! Zhang Wuji, who has Jiuyang Divine Skill and Qiankun Great Shift, has no weapons, Wang Chongyang Huashan, who comprehends the innate divine skill, is invincible in the sword, Shaolin Yijin Sutra, and the beggar gang descends the dragon and the eighteen palms are the male martial arts, which is not the truth. It's the same in football, if a team has a superior midfield, then even if it's a 'strikerless formation', it can win! ”

"After my continuous observation, the level of Spanish football in recent years is not high, the front line relies on Raul, and there is Hierro at the back, but what they really develop is a strong midfield, Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Alonso, Garcia and other players, once they mature, that is, when the Spanish team has successfully cultivated their internal skills, then the European Cup and Shijie Cup will be no problem!"

Seeing this, Ferguson was stunned, will Spanish football rise? This Joe cannon is prophesying again? It's just that Spain has been doing nothing for nearly 20 years and has no super strong team, is it really as the article says that it is cultivating internal strength and waiting for the day when the divine power is completed?

Ferguson smiled, who knows what will happen in the future? This Qiao cannon will make a big fuss, shake his head, and continue to look down.

"Martial arts fans understand that it is too difficult to cultivate internal strength, and it takes decades of perseverance, so there are martial arts masters who practice 'external skills + weapons', and the most typical example is Italy. Italy has lacked midfielders in recent years, and Pirlo is difficult to support alone, relying on steel defense and an invincible super striker, relying on external defense and counterattacking with weapons, making it difficult for countless teams to compete. ”

"However, this kind of martial arts in Italy is not the right way, and it may be a short-term victory, but it will never be long-lasting! It's a pity that the French team Zidane, Makelele, Vieira and others are getting old and close to the edge of death, and the top internal strength has almost dissipated, otherwise they will win Italy! ”

It's only 2005, and it's not yet time for France to lose to Italy in the 2006 Shijie Cup final. Aren't you talking about the philosophy of football, why are you always making random predictions, and the media is overwhelmingly reporting you during this time, so you can't stop a little? ”

After reading an article for more than 50 minutes, Ferguson read all nonsense, and what he wanted most was some tactical description of Chelsea so that he could find flaws in it and guide United to victory over Chelsea. When he looked down further, Ferguson's eyes lit up because he finally saw the word "Chelsea"!

"But only practicing internal strength is inevitably a bit monotonous and boring, friends who have read martial arts novels can't find that most of the people who only practice internal strength in their lives are people with defective personalities, such as Shaolin Abbot, Guo Jing, Zhang Wuji, Shi Potian, etc., such characters make people love and hate, pedantic and hateful, far less than Yang Guo, Ling Hu Chong, Feng Qingyang is so lovely. The same is true for football, if you only rely on a strong midfielder to control, the scene will inevitably seem a little boring, so what is the purest martial arts cultivation method? What is the most exciting football? There is only one answer: Chelsea! ”

"If you use martial arts to describe Chelsea, it is the 'internal strength + weapons' model, and football is the perfect combination of midfield and striker. The Chelsea midfield is guided by Kaka, Keane, Lampard, Van der Vaart, Makelele, Duff and others, and the front line has Rooney, Owen and Torres to kill with one hit, this is the top martial arts, this is the most beautiful football philosophy! ”

"Of course, the 'internal strength + weapon' mode belongs to the ultimate martial arts, if ordinary people want to practice, it is difficult to reach the sky, as for my Qiao Wan Xianweishenme can be trained out of such a Chelsea, it is thanks to my super personality charm......"

"Whew!" Ferguson almost blew up his lungs in anger,,! It seems to make some sense, but in fact it has no connotation, such an article has a fart in addition to attracting gimmicks?

The old lord studied hard for more than an hour, and when he saw such a result, he directly rubbed the newspaper and threw it away......

……

Madrid, Spain.

Mourinho delivered a newspaper at his desk, and the club's general manager, Baldano, said with a facial expression: "Look at it, the football article written by Jovan, so that you can study it, don't wait until you lose to Chelsea in Europe to know that you regret it!" ”

Baldano and Mourinho have a bad relationship, because the strong Mourinho has almost robbed him of all the functions of the general manager in football, and Baldano is from football, of course, he does not want to be in charge of basketball alone, and he is dissatisfied.

Baldano left, Mourinho didn't even look at him, picked up the newspaper and took a look, "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels"?

Mourinho was a little curious, but when he looked at the signed "Qiao Wanxian" again, he suddenly pouted and smiled disdainfully, directly threw the newspaper aside, and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, it's just a fake empty cliché......"

……

Beijing, China.

Nan Yong has just been appointed party secretary of the Football Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of China, becoming the top official in charge of the Chinese Football Association. However, he can't be called the number one, because there are two vice presidents of the National Sports Bureau in charge of football above his head, Xie Yalong and Yang Yimin, and the serious overlap in responsibilities makes Nan Yong, who has three fires in office, try his best to plan to catch fire.

Suddenly, I heard that there was an article in the British "Times" written by Qiao Wanxian, a famous Chinese football coach, "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels".

"Hey, Secretary Liu, immediately convene all A-level head coaches across the country to Beijing to hold a seminar, and before the start of the Chinese Super League next season, Comrade Qiao Wanxian's article "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels" will be studied deeply and extensively! …… Yes, that's right, let the relevant departments have to give way, this is related to the future and development of Chinese football, and it is the most important thing! …… Who? Which Zhong reporter? Oh, that little girl, uh...... Well, let her wait for me at the old place at night......"
