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 at Theobald, and they Without exception, they all mentioned a very interesting topic in their lectures, 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 living things on the entire planet Pandora are closely connected.

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

So, according to these leading scientific researchers, what is genius?

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

These experts have mentioned a very enlightening statement. 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. The length of time you invest in concentration is directly proportional to it!

In order to make these players and coaches understand this argument more easily, they often use some football stars as examples, just like Ronaldo. Everyone says that he is a genius, the most talented after Pele and Maradona. He is also the most talented super genius and a ball king level figure.

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

"Suppose that Ronaldo is also interested in football, but Ronaldo has invested countless time and energy in it. Another person of the same age does not have his concentration and investment. Over time, Ronaldo's understanding of football will change. The use of skills is far beyond his peers. What he shows is his talent and genius! "

"Then you can look at other geniuses, Ronaldinho, Raul, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robben... almost all so-called genius players basically came through this way. , Their talents, their so-called geniuses, are actually built by their dedicated investment in football from childhood to adulthood.”

"There is no genius in this world, only hard work!"

Of course, these experts also put forward a point of view, that is, because of their growth environment and various subjective and objective factors, their thinking cannot be exactly the same, and different thinking may cause them to have different views on different things. sensitivity, so the same person appears. In football, he is a genius, but in other industries he is a fool!

In the same way, those who are more sensitive to football and have stronger thinking ability can make great progress by playing football for four hours, but those who are less sensitive to football and have weaker thinking ability can make great progress. It's 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 to do with the person's interests and hobbies and his focus.

There may be many people who cannot understand what these experts say, and there may even be many people who question their statements, but Christian Eriksen strongly agrees with this statement, because these words make it very clear to him Seeing his growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood, because he has been exposed to football since he was three years old.

I still remember that when he was playing for Detok Mostert at Ajax, Eriksson once heard Ajax football consultant Bobby Hames telling many stories about past superstars, and also told One of the very instructive things about Michels' story is that the so-called total offense, or the so-called football talent, actually comes from running.

"Many people say how powerful and outstanding Total Attack and Total Defense is. Others say how powerful Tottenham Hotspur is now and how outstanding Barcelona is. In the final analysis, all their tactics, all football tactics throughout the ages, are based on the establishment of On the basis of running, whoever runs more, is smarter and 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 Eriksen was at Ajax, his running ability has always been very good, even for a long time. Maintaining the first position in the team's running distance, he did not lose to the midfielder Sandro.

At that time, he averaged more than 13 kilometers in many games with Ajax. With this kind of non-stop running and cruising, he discovered more and more that if you run too much, , if you move more and you can focus on the game, you will find that you can capture more opportunities.

Remember that Peter de Visser later visited Ajax to inspect Eriksson. He praised the Dane for his improved passing vision and more threatening passes. Eriksson modestly said at the time that it was because he ran more.

Although de Visser didn't say anything at the time, from his expression and the fact that Tottenham Hotspur recalled him to North London soon, the team was very satisfied with his progress, especially in running.

However, after coming to North London, the team's requirements for him were also higher.

If you just want to run, everyone can do it, all professional players can run, but the kind of running that Tottenham Hotspur wants is not the kind of aimless running, but a purposeful one, knowing clearly what you want to do, and not the kind of running that wastes energy at will.

You know, many defensive players always complain that the frontcourt offensive players don't work hard and don't actively return to defense, but many offensive players also have problems. He said that if I actively return to defense too much, firstly, my physical energy will be greatly consumed, and secondly, my inspiration in attack will be reduced.

This is actually a kind of self-contradiction.

It's like it's impossible to ask a player to have both super physical strength and unparalleled footwork, because these two things are inherently contradictory and can't appear at the same time.

So, in Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu will tell you one of their ideas, balance!

You have to work hard to learn, to grasp that little balance, how to balance defense while ensuring your offensive threat!

Ye Qiu often said, "Human potential is unlimited. The reason why you feel that you can't do it is because you don't set high enough standards for yourself. When you feel discouraged, when you want to give up, when you feel that you can't do it, then hold your heart and tell yourself, grit your teeth, I can do it!"

"As long as you can hold on, and get through this most difficult process, then congratulations, you have defeated yourself, you have made progress!"

In Tottenham Hotspur, Eriksson saw a lot of things. He saw Ramsey running and lying on the court vomiting, but in a blink of an eye he appeared on the court again. He saw Coutinho asking the coaching staff to provide him with physical training after training because he found that he didn't have enough endurance.

He also saw Phil Jones doing those boring basic movements every day, which he basically stopped practicing after the age of ten. He also saw big names such as Messi, Ribery and other superstars, who meticulously implemented the training arrangements of the coaching staff on the training ground every day.

There is no chance of luck in the success of any one person!

Therefore, in Tottenham, 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 are valuable experiences for him, and they are also opportunities for him to prove his determination and attitude to head coach Ye Qiu.

In this game, he played on the left central midfielder, similar to Ramsey's position, and he also performed his duties by running at his own pace. He can participate in the attack and organization forward, and he also actively participates in the defense backward, especially in the middle. Now the defensive pressure of the middle players is very heavy, and almost no one does not defend.

Although the team is at a disadvantage, being pressed by Everton, and the opponent scored first, Eriksson and his teammates are not discouraged. As Phil Jones said when he was cursing, he wanted to cheat a penalty when he was leading. It's really shameless. Is it because we are young and easy to bully?

No matter what, we are all wearing Tottenham jerseys, and we can't lose face for the team!

In the last ten minutes of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur launched a round of crazy pressing against Everton. Eriksen was also up and down in front, running and sprinting back and forth. Coutinho was the same on the left. This Brazilian also had a tenacity and a tenacity of not admitting defeat.

When retreating to participate in defense, Sandro blocked Pienaar with his body, and passed the ball to Pogba after stealing it. The latter quickly knocked it back to Nastasic, who passed it to Alba on the left. Tottenham Hotspur's entire midfield quickly pushed forward and turned from defense to offense.

Alba spotted an opportunity and passed the ball directly to the front court with a big foot.

At the front of Everton's 30-meter area, Coutinho, who was short and had poor confrontation ability, used his body to block Heitinga behind him. He looked so weak and vulnerable, but he refused to move his position. He allowed Heitinga to squeeze him from behind and harass and influence him with small movements, but he just didn't move.

The ball came, and it was almost impossible for Coutinho to compete with Heitinga. He and his opponent were not in the same weight class at all. It would be strange if he could compete with him. He also had no chance to stop the ball and turn around, because the physical gap was too great. The opponent could make him lose his balance with a force, so he chose to pass the ball.

Coutinho took a step forward, leaned forward, and headed Alba's pass to Eriksson who came up behind him, while he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Heitinga raised his arms for a moment to indicate that he had not committed a foul. The referee did not blow the whistle because of the principle of offensive advantage. After Eriksen got the ball, he took two steps to the middle and saw Phil Neville and Fellaini coming over. They obviously wanted to suppress Eriksen.

Eriksen passed the ball to Raul, who was retreating, but Phil Neville and Fellaini formed a triangle with Jagielka, who was retreating with Raul. Raul immediately moved the ball forward. Push and knock back to Eriksen, otherwise he would be double-teamed and unable to pass the ball.

The Dane moved to the center, Pogba was beside him, and Phil Jones was rushing forward quickly in the distance. Eriksen did not hesitate at all. He took the ball again and the ball went from Drenthe. Passed from behind, Phil Jones rushed forward quickly and quickly caught up with the ball at the edge of the right corner of the penalty area.

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

Phil Jones wasn't too attached to the ball because Drenthe was following him, so he caught a chance. He actually imitated Beckham's posture, opened his arms, raised his right foot, and kicked it directly. Cross the ball.

This cross passed over Drenthe's head, drew an arc, and landed in the middle of the penalty area. At this time, Raul had already quickly rushed back into the penalty area, jumping high before Rodwell. Although Rodwell behind him consciously wanted to prevent him from scoring with a header, Raul was smarter, facing the ball head-on and heading the ball towards the ground.

At this moment, Neymar came out from behind, took a stab, and drove the ball directly into Everton's goal, 1:1!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Following the on-site commentator's exclamation, Neymar opened his mouth wide, laughed loudly, opened his arms, and rushed out of the stadium, rushing to the corner stand where the Tottenham Hotspur fans were, and did A cheering move that immediately received cheers from Tottenham Hotspur fans.

"ah!!!!!!!!"

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 their jerseys and shorts. 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 responsible for commentating this game gave this goal a high evaluation, "Tottenham Hotspur's group of young players are very impressive. , Coutinho is short, but he plays a pillar role in the frontcourt, and he just won the ball from Heitinga's physical confrontation. "

"Eriksson was also very active in running. He was returning to defense just now, but he came to meet Coutinho in the blink of an eye. Moreover, after he and Raul hit the wall this time, he was assigned to the right wing for Phil Jones. This kick is really beautiful and very thoughtful.”

"Phil Jones's subsequent pass was very Beckham-like, and it also made us realize that this player is not just fierce, he also has a technical side, and this The pass was of high quality, but the most beautiful one was Raul. The Spanish veteran is experienced and calm in danger, and headed the ball back to Neymar! "

"The entire offensive routine shifts from the left to the center, then to the right, and then from the right back to the center. The entire process reflects the characteristics of Tottenham Hotspur's offense. Through this kind of running and passing, Stop pulling, very threatening!”

After the Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff saw the team's goal on the sidelines, many people rushed out of their seats excitedly. Ye Qiu couldn't help but stand up, clenched his fists and closed his eyes. He was obviously relieved, and then followed Mauro Tassotti and others celebrated their return with high-fives. They walked to the sidelines and applauded the players on the court.

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

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

In the past few seasons, the reason why Everton has been able to stand in the extremely competitive environment of the Premier League relies on the team's overall style of play and the high morale of the players, but Moyes also has to admit that , now that the game is going on, they must have an updated understanding of this group of young players from Tottenham Hotspur.

At the very least, they are not as weak as they appear to be at their age!

When Everton restarted the kick, Tottenham Hotspur still launched a fierce press and pressure on Everton, hoping to have a chance to score again, but Everton was obviously on guard this time. The half was about to end, so Moyes' team also played more patiently, fearing that the opponent would accidentally seize another opportunity.

The game finally ended in this dull back-and-forth pressing. The two sides tied 1:1 in the first half, but overall, Everton still had the advantage, and although Tottenham Hotspur's side The situation was reversed in the last ten minutes, but the players were very depleted, and it is still unknown whether they can continue to adhere to this style of play in the second half.

After the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, many Tottenham players, including Coutinho, Eriksson, Sandro, etc., fell down on the court, looking almost exhausted. Anyone could see that their physical strength was almost exhausted.

In this case, whether they can continue this style of play in the second half, or even whether they can last the entire game in the second half, is still unknown.
