Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

"Ye Chen, get on the boat!"

Master Wu Neng, stepping on a flat boat, appeared in front of Ye Chen.

He looked at his disciple with a smile on his face, with a look of approval on his face.

Ye Chen was surprised to find that not only was the lake calm as before, but even the lotus leaf road had disappeared.

He jumped onto the boat with one stride.

"Master Wu Neng, you have a boat, why didn't you tell me just now?"

"There is a boat, but did you dare to sit on it just now? Didn't you say that even if there is a boat, it will be swallowed by the fire." Wu Neng said with a smile.

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment.

Master Wu Neng carried Ye Chen, and the boat slowly swam to the shore.

The surface of the lake is mysterious, the sky is bright and the air is clear, the wind is smooth, and it is a beautiful scenery in spring.

Ye Chen glanced at the Wu Neng monk beside him, and couldn't help asking:

"Master, why is Xuanwu Lake still as calm as before when it was blown by wind and fire? This disciple is stupid, so please enlighten me, Master."

Master Wu Neng stood firmly on the boat with his hands behind his back, using his internal force to drive Xiao Zhou forward.

"Ye Chen, remember, the wind hasn't moved, the fire hasn't moved, it's your heart that's moving."

"This Xuanwu Lake is the inner lake of my Shaolin. For thousands of years, it has been calm and calm. How has it ever been blown by wind and fire? If you understand it, you will understand it."

Ye Chen was very surprised.

Since the wind and fire have not moved, could it be that Master Wu Neng meant that the fire just now was all his own illusion?

Master Wu Neng always only spoke half of what he said, Ye Chen understood that he had to realize it by himself.

Back on the shore, Ye Chen went ashore and looked around.

Not only was the lake as calm as ever, but even Ami Island, which I had worked so hard to endure the scorching flames, disappeared into the lake.

The wind is not moving, the fire is not moving, it is your heart that is moving...

Ye Chen suddenly raised his head, his eyes shone with the brilliance of wisdom.

"Master, the disciple has enlightened!"

He performed Buddhist rituals to Master Wu Neng.

"The so-called fire on the lake and the fire lotus on Ami Island are all hallucinations of the disciples."

"There has never been a big fire in Xuanwu Lake. This tormenting flame was ignited in the hearts of the disciples."

"The one who can extinguish this fire can only ignite himself!"

Master Wu Neng's eyes lit up and he showed a loving smile.

"You have to tie the bell to untie it, Ye Chen, you have enlightened well, you enlightened wonderfully!"

He put his hand on Ye Chen's shoulder and continued:

"Ye Chen, let me remind you that my Shaolin iron cloth shirt golden bell cover not only covers myself, but also covers the world. Buddhism is to help all living beings."

After speaking, Master Wu Neng turned around and left, disappearing without a trace.

"Cover the world, save all beings..."

Ye Chen opened his eyes, and on the terrace of the San Siro apartment, he recalled Master Wu Neng's deep Zen teachings.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the loss against Manchester City is because Inter Milan is far inferior to Manchester City?

There is a difference in the value of the two sides, but the scene is not so ugly, the whole game is suppressed by the opponent.

Even the whole team only had one shot!

As for Ye Chen himself, when he played against Manchester City, his performance was not satisfactory, at least he himself was very dissatisfied.

Why?

It's because of fear!

Because of the fear of Manchester City's strength and the fear of Guardiola's tactics, the whole team, including Ye Chen, played timidly and did not dare to move forward.

I always thought that as soon as the formation pressed forward, Manchester City would hit the gap behind.

But football games are like this, the more you are afraid of your opponent, the worse you will be playing!

Dare not to make moves, dare not press forward, and dare not boldly cooperate with the opponent's attack, always shrink back conservatively, trying to wait for the opponent's mistake and steal a ball.

In this kind of game, if you are short of your opponent at the beginning, you will lose your momentum!

Wanting is even more wishful thinking!

It's like the fire that ignited on the surface of Xuanhu Lake.

In fact, it is all an illusion, and it is caused by the demons in the heart!

If you want to extinguish the fire of demons, you have to bravely rush into the fire, face the fear, and defeat them, as Master Wu Neng taught!

The sun went down for a long time.

Ye Chen got up and looked at the stars twinkling in the sky, which was vast.

He clenched his fist tightly and yelled at the sky:

"Fuck him!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host, the Iron Cloth Golden Bell Cover has been upgraded to level two!"

"Strong 85-95!"

"Reward a new skill: Leadership Star!"

"Skill Effectiveness: The host gave an encouraging speech in the locker room, and the team's morale soared to 99+!"

In the past, the morale of the whole team was soared through speeches in the locker room. In this way, it was either a top coach, a superstar of the team or the boss of the locker room.

For example, Mourinho is a master of speech.

Once the team falls behind in midfield, he will give an inspiring speech in the locker room to fully mobilize the players' low emotions and boost morale, so as to achieve the effect of adversity comeback!

Former Liverpool player Cisse said in an interview, "I will never forget Gerrard's halftime speech in the 2005 Champions League final!"

"At half-time 0-3 down against AC Milan, Gerrard stood up and asked all the coaching staff to leave the dressing room because he wanted to be alone with the players again. Then all the staff left Even the physical trainer who is treating the players."

"He said Liverpool was everything to him, it was his club. He didn't want the team to be a laughingstock in the history of the Champions League. If we respect him and love him as captain, we have to give our all and try to get back into the game."

"Gerrard scored the first goal himself, then he created the penalty and he played really well in the second half. At the end he was playing at right-back and what a game he played. Crazy game, that halftime speech will always be etched in my mind."

Another example is Messi, before the 2021 Copa America final.

Messi gathered his teammates together, gave a passionate speech, and encouraged his teammates to do everything for the championship and dedicate everything for the motherland. In the end, Argentina won the championship smoothly. Messi finally won the first important championship of the national team. Finally won the 2022 World Cup champion!

In contrast, Inter Milan.

Since the veteran captain Zanetti, who has played for the team for nearly 20 years, retired.

There is no more Dinghaishenzhen in the locker room, which can unite people's hearts and motivate them to move forward at critical moments.

Even the former captain Icardi split the players in the locker room because of the contract extension and injury fraud!

The current captain is the 8-year-old Handanovic, an old goalkeeper who has played for the team for 26 years.

Although Handa has a stable style and is the goalkeeper of Inter Milan;

But Handa is an honest person, whether on the court or in the locker room, he rarely talks, not to mention motivating his teammates before the game.

Conte is a passionate coach.

However, Conte and the coach are different from the players, which is destined to have a certain gap between Conte and his disciples.

Especially the emotional control of the redundant locker room, and the unity before all the mountains, it is difficult for Conte to intervene in the internal affairs of these players.

These things have to be done by players with leadership in the team.

"Leadership star, it seems that it's time for me, Ye Chen, to stand up!"

Ye Chen gradually understood, in the meditation mode, the words of the Wu Neng monk:

"Ye Chen, let me remind you that Shaolin's iron cloth shirt and golden bell cover not only cover oneself, but also the world, Buddhism, and sentient beings."

Now, it's time for Ye Chen to inspire the whole team and make a comeback from adversity!
