Inventory after April Fool's Day: "Small Wuxiang Gong" and "Nine Yang Manual" on the football field

On April Fool’s Day yesterday, were you confused by how many messages that were hard to distinguish between true and false? Bayern will play a warm-up match with the National Football League at the Bird's Nest. Will Lahm succeed Grindel as chairman of the German Football Association? "When a fake is true, it is also true, and when it is true, it is false." In a media era that is already filled with a large number of unscrupulous media to gain traffic, even if there is no April Fool's Day, people have already lost it.

But now that April Fools’ Day has passed and life has returned to normal, should we understand the true meaning of April Fools’ Day? As Leslie Cheung sang: Wrong is never right, truth is always true. The saying that all things come from the heart, doesn't it just prove that "it is difficult to draw bones when painting people's skin"? How many fools are imitating other people's ideas without any innovation? Putting aside appearances, how many imitators are there in football who don’t have the essence? Today, we will discuss this topic.

Football is a world of rivers and lakes. Recently, the author came across a fallacy, claiming that the "Nine Yang Manual" is just in name, but it is actually a derivative of "Little Wuxiang Gong". Today, let’s start with Jin Yong’s martial arts that best matches the history of football. "Nine Yang Manual" can never be a derivative of "Little Wuxiang Gong"! After Zhang Wuji practiced the "Nine Yang Manual", it took only one day to practice "The Great Shift of the Universe" to the seventh level, which Yang Dingtian could only reach the fourth level in his whole life. Although this is quite similar to the situation when Jiumozhi challenged the seventy-two stunts of the Shaolin Temple, this cannot be the basis for the "Small Wuxiang Gong" to be the "Nine Yang Manual".

First, many years before Zhang Wuji, Zhang Zhenren’s master, Master Jue Yuan, had accidentally learned the "Nine Yang Manual". However, he did not know how to do any one move, but he could suppress it. He Zudao, who lived among the "Three Sages of Kunlun", seriously injured Xiaoxiangzi on the top of Mount Huashan. The bystanders at that time were Wu Jue, Wu Se Zen Master and others. Could it be that they couldn't tell the truth from the lies based on their level?

Secondly, since "Little Wuxiang Gong" can imitate the moves of various schools and sects in the world, why did Master Jue Yuan still not know how to use even half a move when he was forced into danger by He Zudao? Facts have proved that the "Nine Yang Manual" can only help practitioners learn all martial arts in one go. It cannot "copy on the gourd" like "Little Wuxiang Gong". You still need to learn specific moves or mental methods.

Thirdly, "Small Phaseless Skill" cannot allow practitioners to gain endless internal power like the "Nine Yang Manual". This was clearly shown when Zhang Zhenren met Zhang Wuji again. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the "Nine Yang Manual" can make practitioners immune to all poisons and have extremely strong self-healing capabilities. As the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, Wu Yazi was left disabled for life after falling off the cliff, while Zhang Wuji recovered quickly after falling off the cliff. Zhang Wuji could easily recover whether he was stabbed by Zhou Zhiruo or received a full blow from Master Jue. Besides, how many years has Wu Yazi practiced the "Small Phaseless Skill"? How many years has Zhang Wuji been practicing the Nine Yang Manual?

Therefore, truly superb martial arts cannot be imitated without the essence. Let’s get back to the topic. In today’s football world, how many coaches are practicing “Little Wuxiang Kung” but claim to be “Nine Yang Manual”?

Loew. In the 2018 World Cup, Loew still insisted on possession tactics and got stuck in them, which eventually led to the German team being eliminated from a group with weak opponents. Loew is very persistent in ball control tactics, but he has no understanding of the true meaning of Guardiola's ball control tactics. He can be called a toddler in Handan.

Antic. In the 2013 Chinese Super League, Luneng is eager to overthrow the emerging Evergrande and regain its position as the dominant player in the Chinese Super League. To this end, Luneng invited Antic, who had coached Real Madrid and Barcelona. That season, Luneng imitated Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, and eventually fell into second place behind Guangzhou Evergrande with a huge points difference.

Surrey. This season, Sarri came to Chelsea with the mission of changing the offense. However, at the end of the season, Chelsea fell into a new cycle and the results did not change. Sarri hopes to imitate the "Three Deaths" system he established in Naples, but has never been able to successfully implement it in the Premier League.

Kovacs. In 2002, defending champion Bayern were eliminated at the bottom of the group stage. Lizarazu criticized Bayern for blindly following suit and losing the foundation of the team. However, Bayern coach Hitzfeld was also a man of honor at the time and no longer had to prove himself. Sixteen years later, current Bayern coach Kovac claimed at his first press conference that he would continue the tactical system established by Van Gaal and continue Heynckes' Bayern style. The results are also obvious.

Chinese football. Chinese football has always been learning from the great powers, but it has never known who it is learning from, let alone what it has learned. The Chinese football practice is based on the Murong family's "Dou Zhuan Xing Shi" in Suzhou. It is also a superb martial arts, and it was enough to gain a foothold in Asia at first, but in the end it turned out to be the same as the arrogant Murong Fu, and became a joke. Jin Lao said that "repay others with their own way" is quite meaningful, but in the end, he ended up "reaping what he sows". The current weakness of Chinese football has nothing to do with the talent of Chinese football. It is all the consequences of self-sowing.
