In football, four to five players are considered defenders! When this ratio is broken and raised to eleven players, it is never virtuous you keep your net clean! Because it is not an important thing or an important invention! Innovation is to take you back to its standard number and keep your flower clean.

In the world of football, there exists a delicate balance between offense and defense. It is said that four to five players are deemed defenders, ensuring the protection of their goal and the prevention of their opponents from scoring. However, when this ratio is disrupted and elevated to eleven players, the dynamics change. It is believed that keeping the net clean becomes the utmost priority, a virtue that must be upheld at all costs. But is this truly the essence of the game? Is it merely about the outcome and the result, or is there something more profound at play here? I believe that true innovation lies in returning to the standard number of defenders, in honoring the original design and intention of the game. It is in this balance that we find harmony, where each player has a role to play and contributes to the beauty of the sport. So, my friends, let us not be consumed by the desire to keep our net clean, but instead, let us strive to keep our flower clean, to nurture and protect the essence of the game, and to honor the spirit of unity and teamwork.
