Sandoko talks to you about stories related to football ~ every Thursday at 7 pm, meet you ~ ~
The air crash of the previous few days was tragic. Still deeply shocked, The slow-moving Sandoko decided to abandon real football today and talk to you about a football-themed animation - reverse supervision.
<b>Reverse supervision of the sword walking sideways </b>
The "Reverse Supervision" to be talked about today cannot be said to be a clear stream (it seems that it is not a good word) compared with the general football theme animation, but it is also unique.
In general football-themed anime, there is at least one of these two key elements:
1. Protagonist aura + perverted moves
2. Inspirational youth campus football
Speaking of which, you know I'm going to mention FootballErn. Yes, "Football Boy" as a football theme of the elderly work can be regarded as a precedent, the above two elements are almost its definition.
In the version I watched in childhood, the big air wing and the hyuga are considered to be sworn enemies who love and kill each other
When I was young, I was a big fan of the friends I played with, and I liked to imitate all kinds of tricks in "Football Boy": curved shots, tiger shots, etc... Although many of these do have prototypes in reality, through exaggerated performance, there is always a feeling of unconsciousness at first glance.
The skills of a single body are not enough, but various aerial killing skills like the "Kobayashi Brothers" (actually should be called) may be exaggerated to a certain extent. The video below is...
It is true that this kind of bridge section is indeed very hilarious at first glance, but it is inevitable that it will be a little greasy to watch more. Similar works include "Serie A Whirlwind", "Lightning Eleven" and so on. Later, sports works in other sports also had "big tricks", such as "The Prince of Tennis", which was jokingly called "killing tennis". The degree of destruction is sensational, just search for yourself and feel it...
Of course, this may also be where "Soccer Boy" is inferior to "Slam Dunk Master", which pays relative attention to amplification and despises storytelling.
In addition to "big moves", another big theme of football animation is campus football. "Soccer Boy" is far from saying, and more recent works such as "Soccer Knight" and "Days". With the campus as the main line, it is supported by the original manga, and attracts the audience with its delicate and soft drawing style or a strong voice actor (voice actor) lineup.
The voice actor lineup is pretty strong days
Of course, for many friends who have been on the job for a long time, are more accustomed to watching professional football, and even prefer football managers than real football, the team campus theme may not be cold.
Therefore, like "Reverse Supervision", not only is there almost no invincible protagonist player that makes Newton shout dog belt, nor is it a youth campus theme that is inevitably lost in the cliché, and there is not even a female protagonist in the physiological sense. Therefore, "Reverse Supervision" is not a clear stream, but also a sword to the side.
<b>Giant Killer etu </b>
The anime, translated as Reverse Supervision, is based on the manga of the same name, originally called Giant Killing in English, which was meant to be weaker than strong. Football aside, the most famous legend of the weak triumphing over the strong may be the story of david the shepherd boy who defeated the Phoenician giant Goliath with a slingshot recorded in the Bible. This may also be the source of the phrase.
In the world of football, the easiest place to be small and big is the cup, especially in cups like the FA Cup, where a single game is decided, which is a hotbed of unpopularity. At the beginning of the story, a fictional FA Cup match in 2006 is depicted. According to my research, in addition to Portsmouth, which was still in the Premier League at the time, there was also the amateur team "fc east ham" (East Ham), which was disbanded that year. Of course, in 2013, there was indeed a feat of non-professional league side Luton beating Premier League side Norwich 1-0 away.
A miracle once in thirty years, amateur teams eliminated top league teams.
Former Japan international who previously played in the UK, the protagonist Dahai Meng is the manager of this amateur team.
At that time, Dahai Meng's parent team (east tokyo united) was facing the crisis of the main player leaving the team in the gap between the seasons, and the manager was undecided. Manager Goto came to England to ask the team leader of the year, Dahai, to return to china to save the team, and he just saw this game in the stands. Nearby, an old Englishman described the magic team and the magic manager in his heart:
"That striker is a baker, that's a cop, and a chef, a pastor, an old driver, a high school teacher, they're all amateur players, but they're fighting the top teams. Does Japan have one? Like the FA Cup, a game that can be fought for both amateurs and professionals? It's not a dream, the weak brigade is trying to defeat the strong team, this is a dream-like reality. This miracle was brought to us by the young man from Japan. ”
Maybe you think that this is the manager of the dream of all fans, leading a "fish belly division" to defeat a powerful opponent. It's not that simple.
10 years ago, Etu was invincible in the era when Dahai meng played, and the current captain Murakshi came to hug Dahai's thigh. But he chose to leave the team to go abroad when the team was about to reach its peak, which plunged the team into turmoil, and even became a lift in the league, the fan base was much worse than before, the operation was in difficulty, and even could not afford foreign aid.
After the return, radical fans heard about this and protested and angrily rebuked it. Those old fans who have long been discouraged and chose to take off their powder early, when they heard from the children's mouths about the return of their idols, they burst into tears one by one. They decided that in the future, they would choose to ignore their wives' objections, wear the jersey that had long been dusted, and take the equipment they should use to cheer up their team.
Although at the beginning of the season, Takumi's etu had a performance of equalizing the powerful derby rival Tokyo Victory (prototype Tokyo Verdi, now in the J2 League in Japan), the opening 5 consecutive defeats made radical fans besiege the bus and shout: "Traitors get out of class!" "There was also opposition within the team. However, with the support of the team chairman and manager and the tutelage of Dahai, he came out of the trough and defeated one big team after another with big-name foreign aid and luxurious lineups to achieve a breakthrough in the top 8 of the cup.
He has fulfilled his promise and is moving towards his "gaint killing".
<b>Although the sparrow is small, it is complete </b>
As a work with the head coach as the protagonist, the focus of "Reverse Supervision" is not just from the perspective of the coach. In another way, Da Haimeng is not a "coach" who only manages training and playing style, but more like Ferguson and Wenger, who is responsible for the "manager" of the team's big and small affairs.
At first glance, he looks like a ghost of all good coaches. He was managerial, managing the team bosses, thorn heads and thighs obediently, without complaint.
He's tactical and good at watching dishes, although the cards in his hand may only be enough to put on a bus...
He was responsible, responsible, and willing to take on the attack of public opinion for the players, although his manager blocked the gun for him.
He has the foresight to promote talented young players in an eclectic manner, giving them full trust and support, and getting rewarded.
That's probably why he was successful.
But that wasn't enough to appeal to me, and that alone can be felt in football managers. That's how good Reverse Oversight is. There is no abuse of "memory kill", no exaggerated setting of shooting a goal floating half an episode, but to build a full and complete football world, not just a two-point line of training and competition.
The players have different personalities and are plump, not big move machines. There are obedient and hard-working, there are captains (idols) who have too much baggage, there are stage-afraid and nerve knife youngsters, and there are also those who pretend to be narcissistic.
ETU players
Among the opponents encountered, in addition to being strong, there are also various kinds of teasing, otherwise it is difficult to "send warmth" in the critical moment of Dahai. This also illustrates a truth: on the football field, luck is also part of strength... (Presumably I made it up)
In the first win of the etu league, three Brazilian foreign aides from Nagoya (Live Treasure)
There are die-hard fans who have been radical for a decade, and there are also old fans who have given up and returned to the stands.
And these teenagers who are trained in the echelon, they are the inheritors, they are the future of ETU, and they are also the future of football.
Of course, the most special thing is that there is no biological heroine ...
Therefore, although it does not have the cool tricks of the angry newton, how about the youth chicken soup that does not bring the dead back to life, how about the popularity and super length of the "migrant worker comic", how about the theme is biased to almost only suitable for fans to watch, how about the painting style is strange, and how the noses of the characters are particularly pointed...
It's worth a taste of everyone who loves football.
<b>A legend without an ending </b>
Seeing this, well-informed friends may think of novels with similar themes in China. That's right, Sandoko is talking about "The Godfather of Champions." Although they all tell the story of a manager who built a great team, Tony Downe's story has long ended, and he and Xenia have long been successful. And Dahai Meng is still on the road, still early.
At the end of the anime, the magic created by Dahai Meng in the Fa Cup of England is reviewed, echoing the beginning and end of the opening chapter. Although that's the ending of the anime, it's not the ending of Etu. The anime is only one season old, and the manga is still serialized...
DaHai Meng, who is regarded as a god by East Ham fans
To paraphrase Churchill's tongue twister:
It's not the end, it's not even the beginning of the end, but it's the end of the beginning after all.
They still have a future, but some don't have it anymore.
Writing this, my eyes are not like a trickle of sand, but a burst of water pipes gushing out like a waterfall.
The chairman of the Chapeco team said: "My best friend is gone and the dream is shattered. "Although his club likes to change coaches, in just seven or eight years, seventeen managers have changed, and some people have even entered the palace many times. But what they regret today is the achievement of two meritorious managers.
The chairman of the Chapeco team heard the bad news and covered his face and wept
One was Pozzo, who led the Chapeco to achieve two consecutive triple jumps from the third division to the first division, a cause that neither Leipzig nor Leicester City could create. Even more troubling was the failure to survive, Cayo-Junior. Setting a league record in all time and reaching the final of the Copa Copa America, he has made history for the club. He really had the opportunity to make history, to win the weak and to wrestle with the Libertadores cup winner National Athletic.
After beating San Lorenzo to reach the final of the Copa Nationsa De Lamo, he said: "My team reminds me of Leicester City, a team with no experience at all winning an important title. If I die today, I will die where I belong. (if i died today, i'd die happy.) "To take a lot of traditional Chinese words, obscure. However, the sky is not the limit. He could have become a greater legend, but he was buried in a senseless tragedy.
Cayo-Junior
On the Wikipedia Chapeco Team's homepage, the manager's name has been changed to a vacancy.
Postponements and vacancies are the most relentless obituary, and it is only one step away from your haunting dreams.
As a Manchester United fan, I may feel something deeper in a moment like this.
Tomorrow will come, tomorrow will not be worse, tomorrow will only be better.
<b>epilogue </b>
At the end of the article, i will show you a small video, which is the team song of Etu, and the same tune has been widely adapted in British football. In fact, the first time the song was widely circulated was the song "John Brown's Body" during the American Civil War. One line goes like this: "John Brown's body is rotting in the grave, but his soul is marching alongside us." ”
Glory does not belong only to John Brown, glory does not belong only to the American 101st Division, glory does not belong only to Etu, glory does not belong only to Spurs and Manchester United. Glory belongs to all of us who love football.
He who has no clothes, but who is clothed with the Son.
Bow and thank you for your support, but Santoku must first wipe a handful of tears, we will see you next Thursday night...
