The 29th round of the 04-05 Premier League season was held as scheduled, and Chelsea visited Carrow Road to challenge the "Canary" Norwich. Norwich City were the champions of the Championship last season and are the Premier League promotion team this season. It's a pity that in the first 28 rounds of this season, only 3 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses have been achieved, and the league is second to last with 20 points, and it is almost a foregone conclusion to return to the Championship at the end of the season.

In the face of the weak team, Qiao Wanxian lined up a semi-main lineup and conserved his strength to prepare for the home game against Barcelona three days later.

Qiao Wanxian, who was sitting in the coach's seat, looked very relaxed, not only because the opponent was weak, but also because of his economical use in the league during this time, so that there was still a full 80 ml of Shengyuan No. 1 stock left!

According to statistics, the first 27 rounds of the league cost 79 ml, 20 ml in the Champions League, 16 ml in the League Cup, 3 ml in the FA Cup, plus the 2 ml used in front of Abu when he first applied for the job, and there was just 80 ml left at this time. Facing less than 20 games remaining in the season, the pressure on Qiao Wanxian suddenly decreased.

After months of Shiyan pondering, Qiao Wanxian found that if 3 ml Shengyuan No. 1 was used in a game, there would be a difficult situation in the face of Haoqiang, and it was obvious that the opponent's Shijie-level coach could make up for the impact of 3 "super" players on his side through reasonable tactical arrangements; But when Qiao Wanxian raised the number to 5 ml, teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Barcelona almost had no ability to resist, and could only be beaten passively.

Even if there are occasional unexpected "upsets", Qiao Wanxian is confident that he can make up for the situation by increasing the amount by 2-3 ml. As for confronting famous coaches like Ferguson and Mourinho through tactical adjustments, Qiao Wanxian is not so self-sufficient.

In the face of the weak team, Qiao Wanxian threw out 1 ml of Shengyuan No. 1 to the team's midfield core Van der Vaart, and then sat in the coach's seat and let them fend for themselves on the field.

Seeing Qiao Wanxian as if he was recuperating with his eyes closed, assistant coach Boas was about to move, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Wanxian, that ...... Can I ask a few questions? ”

Qiao Wanxian opened his eyes and looked like stars, and his brows curled: "What's the matter, I can't find my wife and ask me to show you the marriage?" ”

Boas shook his head and said: "It's about your article "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels", I think the truth is profound, the metaphor is just right, and the image is vivid. There are just a few doubts about it, and I have to ask you for advice. ”

Since the article "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels" came out on March 2, it has set off a lot of waves in the entire European football world, especially in the British area, where fans can be heard expressing their opinions on this article almost everywhere.

It's just that most people are ambiguous about the main content of this article, and the only realization is that speed players are the first choice of managers! Of course, famous coaches like Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger will laugh it off, but most of the less successful coaches want to take the plunge and learn to understand the spirit of Qiao Wanxian.

Especially in a match in the German Second Division on March 3, a relegation team defeated the leader Mainz through the study of "speed to win", thus pushing the article "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels" to the top.

Even the ever-rigorous German magazine "Kicker" praised Jowanxian: "He is a winning perfectionist, a well-deserved master of tactics!" After the article "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels" appeared, he was promoted to the ranks of football theory masters! It is highly recommended that the Cologne Institute of Physical Education in Germany confer on him the title of Honorary Doctorate! ”

Of course, the most sensational is in China.

Qiao Wan is bored and often goes to domestic websites, only to know that the Chinese Football Association has issued Document No. 1, which is conveyed to the teams of the Chinese Super League, China A, China B, and China C. Moreover, it is said that the Football Association has declared a total of 7 million yuan of scientific research projects to the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and has carried out theoretical research on the history, development and future of Chinese football in the article "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels" at Beijing Sports University, and has formed a team of more than 20 people with doctors and masters.

In fact, Qiao Wanxian's purpose in publishing this article is just "a fire in the spring", where did he think that he would give some people a blatant excuse to squander, and he felt a little unhappy.

Hearing that Boas brought the topic to this aspect again, his face sank at the moment, and he was not very happy: "What's wrong?" ”

Boas swallowed his saliva, took out a small note from his pocket, and said cautiously: "Wan Xian, after your instruction, I have read a lot of martial arts novels, especially agree with your statement that flying with two wings is fighting left and right, but what are 'Xiao Li Flying Knife', 'Sikong Picking Stars', and 'Lingxi One Finger'?" I don't know? ”

Qiao Wanxian rolled his eyes: "You used to read all the books written by Jin Yong, and you have time to read Gu Long's again!" ”

"Huh?"

Boas's eyes widened, and he was speechless in a daze, this Joe cannon is too ruthless, right? I heard that there are some Jin Gu Liang Wen Si in martial arts novels, you don't plan to let me read them all, right? I'm a soccer coach!

At this time, the cheers in the Carlo Road stadium were loud, Qiao Wanxian looked up and couldn't help laughing, Norwich actually took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 12th minute of the game, leading 1:0.

'It's strange that Chelsea are falling behind? It's unbelievable, looking at the sidelines, Joe Cannon is laughing! Haha, there is such a well-established manager standing in ...... Well, sitting on the sidelines, the performance of the players on the field is not going to disappoint. With more than 70 minutes to go, it's unclear what the next game will hold, but there should be no suspense about a Chelsea victory. ”

In fact, this is also true.

In the 23rd minute, Guiza received a wonderful pass from Van der Vaart and shook off the gap to equalize;

In the 43rd minute, Kaka unleashed a card shot from outside the penalty area, and after a beautiful arc, Chelsea took the lead;

Kaka was replaced by Parker in the second half, with Chelsea's midfield in the hands of Dutch newcomer Donny van der Vaart, who did not disappoint the Blues fans.

In the 58th minute, he sent another wonderful pass, and the left-back Bridge on the back row volleyed from a small angle and scored another goal;

In the 75th minute, Van der Vaart, who had two assists in the game, finally scored, Joe Cole broke through the side of the ball, Van der Vaart faced the defenders who pressed forward, faked a shot, toe pick, and the ball was hoisted into the far corner of the goal. With his calm judgment and excellent footwork in front of goal, the young Van der Vaart showed his master's style, and his outstanding performance even won the applause of many home fans.

The score of 4:1 was not impressive, but it was enough for Qiao Wan to leave the Carlo Road stadium with his head held high.

Interestingly, when the two coaches shook hands at the end of the game, Qiao Wanxian found that Norwich coach Waddington's face did not have a little bit of defeat and loneliness, but a little more awe and joy, and as soon as he shook hands hurriedly, he lowered his voice and asked: "Mr. Wan Xian, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Huh?" Qiao Wan was stunned.

Waddington continued to lower his voice, as if he was hiding some secret: "Mr. Wan Xian, I have repeatedly read your "Football Philosophy from Martial Arts Novels" several times in the past few days, and I have some personal experience, can I consult you?" ”

Qiao Wan smiled idly, he wrote an article in a daze, this treatment seems to have become a university professor?

On the court just now, Qiao Wan closed his eyes and pondered how to make Lucy and Cheryl agree to share the same bed, but was interrupted by Boas because of this question, he felt very annoyed, almost kicked him, and was disturbed when he was thinking about it, that was the most unappetizing thing, but he still patiently explained to Boas for a while, no way, who called us the mentor Qiao Wanxian!

Hearing such an inquiry again, Qiao Wanxian complained a few words in his stomach, first waved his hand to greet the audience in the stands, and then put on a chic and free posture towards the camera on the side, and after brewing his emotions, he said in a deep tone full of majesty: "May I ask." ”

Qiao Wanxian had a calm smile on his face, but he said in his heart, buddy, are you mistaken, you are older than my father, please don't look at me with such eyes. Damn, I'm just a football coach, and I'm not a superman on Earth, so your eyes are too outrageous......

Waddington's face was full of sincerity and humility: "Mr. Wan Xian, you said that football speed is supreme, so can I understand it like this, if I send 10 fastest players, the team will have a hope of relegation?" ”

Qiao Wanxian looked at ease under the camera's shooting, and said lightly: "Speed is not just the running speed of the players, there is a lot of bread here." Including reaction speed, ball speed, attack speed, defense speed, passing speed, shooting speed, etc., running speed is just one of them. My purpose in writing this article is to give coaches a deep understanding of football theory, which takes a long time to achieve true victory. ”

After thinking about it, he cheekily added: "There are no shortcuts in football, and success can only be achieved after decades of accumulation." ”

"But...... But you're only in your twenties, aren't you? Waddington looked at him suspiciously.

Qiao Wan swallowed his saliva and said unashamedly: "Me? Of course, I don't have shortcuts, my success lies in hard work, in genius! As Thomas Edison famously said, 'Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.' But that 1 percent of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99 percent of perspiration. Do you understand this time? ”

In the middle of three or two sentences, Waddington felt confused, every sentence of this Qiao cannon was cloudy and foggy, and it felt more difficult to understand than Einstein's theory of relativity. It's just that he really can't pull his face down anymore and ask shamelessly, and it's really embarrassing to face the teachings of a younger generation.
