Changed to 29 seconds in 29 years


Heinee Al-Magne is a poor Brazilian man who lives in a slum. At the age of 14, he loved football. When he watched a television broadcast, the commentator changed his life in one sentence.

At that time, the TV was playing a free kick, and the athletes were asked to stand in a row in the restricted area in front of the goal, but they were always in a row. Heine heard the TV commentator complaining: "Is anyone able to find a way to let Can the wall of the free ball be kept in the right position?"

Since then, this sentence has been deeply branded in Heine's heart, and he began to ponder how to realize the desire of the commentator. Of course, the invention is by no means a simple matter. Heine is just a poor boy. He has neither culture nor capital. He has never invented anything before. However, he was a stubborn child. In the 15 years since he was a miner, he has never given up the idea of ​​inventing new methods.

One day, he was busy with the work in the mine. When he took a shower in the bathroom, he accidentally picked up the shaving foam tube and squirted a line on his arm. Suddenly, he felt a bright impression and thought: Isn't this the new method that I have been searching for for years?

With ideas, do it. However, the things Heiner made were not practical at all, the smell was unpleasant, and the people were sloppy, and it was difficult to remove them on the lawn. Even like herbicides, the lawn was yellow. In the face of failure, Heine did not stop the pace of continued exploration. He knows that because of the lack of cultural knowledge, this is the price that he must pay. Next, he frequently visited the workers in the chemical plant and the chemistry teachers in nearby schools. After repeated tests, he finally produced an ideal product. He mixes the vegetable oil with butane propane gas to make a white foam that can be kept for about a minute after the spray, and then the foam disappears on its own. This foam has no toxic side effects and does not have any effect on the lawn.

Heine, who succeeded in the test, was very excited. However, because there was no money for advertising and no one in the football circle, Heine’s invention patents have been left unattended. Until 14 years later, a playmate in his childhood helped him. He is the director of a small cosmetics factory.

The stereotyped product was finally made, and Heine began to sell his own products to one football club after another. Fortunately, his efforts quickly paid off. After the Brazilian Football Association inspected his invention, he agreed to use his product in the small competition Belo Horizonte Cup - the human wall positioning sprayer. Because of the good effect, it was widely used in the Brazilian League, and eventually became the standard of the game's main law enforcement in the 2019 World Cup. According to statistics, this spray method, called "9.15 Fair Play", can reduce the time for free kicks from 48 seconds to 20 seconds.

With 29 years of persistence and persistence for 28 seconds, the once poor boy Heine has become a millionaire with his own invention. However, compared to the wealth he gained, he was more interested in the 28 seconds he contributed to the football game. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, said: "Patience is the foundation of all intelligence and wisdom." Undoubtedly, the success of Heine Alemane is the best interpretation of this.
