Forgive me for discussing football untimely while watching a baseball movie. Although I have watched the ending of the movie several times, the song "show" almost wiped me out.
At the beginning of the story, the New York Yankees 100 million vs. the Oakland Warriors 30 million. It reminds me of Real Madrid vs. Barcelona and Manchester City vs. Manchester United. Although they are both giants, at least Barcelona has a youth academy and Manchester United has Lafayette. If one person has money to buy all the good players, it means that the rest of the small teams only have to sell blood and run the game. This is what makes the real fans angry. It is equivalent to a free player encountering a RMB fighter. You are not playing a game, but being played by the game.
Because of my humbleness, I always search around for the weaknesses of these RMB fighters like David. It seems impeccable, you say that he has no taste, he tells you that he only uses the most expensive, and naturally cultivates the ability to appreciate. You say that he is uneducated, and he tells you that he has a large group of imperial literati who have written and decorated me. So, I could only ask Billy for help, how did he defeat this monster.
However, this movie has little connection with the original. You can say that Billy uses knowledge about statistics. If you have to say that the Warriors have succeeded, there is only one reason: economy. ——I don’t like the word undervalue. The so-called economy means that you have assumed the premise that everything is limited, and scarcity determines value. Your life is limited, your wealth is limited, the number of people engaged in professional sports is limited, and the number of people playing in a game is even more limited. How to win the game in the most economical way is the concept of moneyball. Therefore, how to use the resources in hand to win the game has become an interesting thing again. When I saw Billy sell out his coaching players to implement his own David plan, I couldn't help but be excited about it. Yes, do what you should do and don't be intimidated by those giant dwarves.
Let us return to the club’s southward move mentioned at the beginning of the article. This is nothing new in Chinese football. In the opinion of experts, the cause is economic problems. Without money, experts suggest that a membership system can be established like Real Madrid and Barcelona. The fans are shareholders; the underlying reason is that there is no local bond formed, and the club is like a circus juggling everywhere. , All you need is the venue and people watching the excitement. When I was watching a movie, I was thinking, what would happen if it were in the U.S. Major League Baseball? Some people say that Billy stayed for his daughter, perhaps one of them, but since he has gone through so many separations as a manager, he naturally plans to leave. Billy chose Oakland, and Sir Alex exhausted his efforts in Manchester United. What supports them is no longer money, but bonds. Maybe this is what we are missing.
