A few Taishi chairs were moved, Zhu Houzhao sat on the sidelines, and when he saw Li Ying and Jinyiwei entering the venue, he couldn't help but ask: "The clothes of the two sides are different, it is clear at a glance." Li Sanlang, where are they? ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Li Sanlang is the chief judge, and the rest of the Jinyi guards are all side judges. ”

"There are several judges, and you have a lot of rules for juju." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

Wang Yuan continued to act as a commentator: "At this moment, the two sides are lined up in formation, guessing the copper coin, and guessing the side will kick off first. The game is divided into two games, and the venue will be changed after one game to ensure the fairness of the game. ”

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Can the two goalkeepers only guard the goal?" ”

Wang Yuan pointed to the direction of the goal and said: "Your Majesty, look at the box drawn with lime in front of the goal, the box belongs to the forbidden area, and the goalkeeper can touch the ball at will in this area." However, if they are out of the box, the goalkeeper is not allowed to touch the ball with his hands or arms. ”

"In other words, the goalkeeper can run as he pleases?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"That's true," Wang said, "except for the goalkeeper, no other player is allowed to touch the ball with his arms, and at least he loses possession, or he is given penalties and free kicks." ”

Zhu Houzhao asked again: "What are penalties and free kicks?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The penalty kick is to put the football anywhere in the penalty area, and the penalty party can only be guarded by the goalkeeper, and the penalty kick party sends one person to hit the ball." A free kick is also a type of free kick in which the defender can form a wall to defend against the attacker's free kick, but the wall must be more than eight steps (9.6 meters) away from the ball, unless they have reached the goal line. ”

The main players on both sides on the field used to be gangsters and gangsters. There are a few ball skills that are okay, and there are many tricks in wrapping the ball, dribbling, and picking the ball, but this kind of ball game is too redundant.

Moreover, they especially like to play golf and disdain to run on the ground with a soccer ball.

This is a habit brought about by the inherent gameplay, because since the Tang Dynasty, Keju's goal was set high in the air and would not be close to the ground at all.

Zhu Houzhao didn't feel interesting at first, far less beautiful than other gameplay, but gradually he found that the confrontation was extremely strong, and the excitement was that the players on both sides competed fiercely.

"That's a great idea!" Zhu Houzhao said approvingly.

In the Song Dynasty, there were football confrontation matches, with double goal and multi-goal gameplay. In the beginning, there were 12 players per team, and the competition was extremely fierce, except that the goal was set high in the air, which was very similar to modern football.

But gradually, each team increased to sixteen players, the rules became more stringent, and the intensity of the event decreased significantly. It mainly shows the individual skills of the players, and the teamwork becomes a supporting role, and sometimes one person can play the ball for several minutes.

By the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the intensity of football matches increased, but they were generally similar to the rules of the reformed Song dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao has watched a ball game before, but he has never seen such a fierce ball game.

"Phew!"

The linesman blew the whistle for a foul on the defender and gave him a yellow card.

Wang Yuan explained: "A yellow card is a warning, and if you eat a yellow card, the player will be sent off. The fouler was a defender of the defender, and he maliciously dragged the attacker down from behind, so he was given a free kick. ”

The human wall has been put together, and the penalty player has a run-up and hoists the ball into the corner of the goal with great precision.

Unfortunately, although he had a good angle and good technique, he couldn't play a spinning arc and was picked up by the goalkeeper when he jumped high to pick the ball off.

No way, the competitive ball game in the Ming Dynasty did not have a goalkeeper, nor did it practice shooting skills against goalkeepers. They mainly practice their fancy skills and accuracy when shooting, after all, the goal hangs high in the air.

The game continued, football was played as volleyball, all kinds of high crosses and high shots, balls flying around, and boccia were rare.

These guys are very fond of showing off their skills, and one of them is forced to rob, but instead of dodging with the ball, he jumps the ball with his heel. Then quickly circle behind the opponent and catch the ball with your head. After stopping the ball, it doesn't stop, and you can pass the ball directly, but you have to use a difficult mandarin duck crutch (scorpion tail).

It's a pity that he didn't turn out, and the ball was broken from behind.

After fighting, someone finally opened up. Abandon fancy ball skills, only rely on speed and dribbling skills, and go directly from the midfield, and in the blink of an eye, several people have been connected. He suddenly played the ball back and his team-mate lobbed it into the box before another striker headed home.

"Good shot!"

Wang Yuan couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration, he got up and walked to the sidelines and shouted: "That's how you want to play!" What did you guys play before? The court is like a battlefield, no matter how clever your personal skills are, it is not as good as cooperating with a formation, and you can simply rush and kill with a knife and a gun! The winner of this ball game will collectively credit one point! ”

A point for merit?

The style of the ball on both sides changed instantly, and the fool continued to play tricks, and he was a hero if he could score the ball!

The scramble became more intense, and the passing and shooting were more direct. It's obviously not so fancy, but it makes Zhu Houzhao very enjoyable, and he can't wait to play a few kicks himself.

At the end of the game, Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands and said to Wang Yuan with a smile: "I'll try it too." ”

Qian Ning hurriedly dissuaded: "Emperor, the sick body is just healing, don't be tired." ”

Wang Yuan heard that the emperor had just recovered from his illness, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's better to play another day, it's not too early today." ”

Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy, and asked Wang Yuan with a sneer: "Wang Erlang, do you know how Emperor Taizu punished Emperor Taizu for bowing in the barracks?" ”

"Taizu is not allowed to play in the barracks?" Wang Yuan really didn't know.

Zhu Houzhao frightened: "Cut your feet!" ”

The Han Dynasty Keju was a drama in the army, which had the role of rehearsing military formations and promoting cooperation. But since the late Song Dynasty, Keju has been reduced to a performance, and the same is true of competitive Keju, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not allow this kind of game to appear in the army.

As Zhu Houzhao said, playing football in the army will be beheaded.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "If you let me play, I will cancel this ban!" ”

Wang Yuan was speechless for an instant, this emperor always likes to do business.

Qian Ning was also speechless, what the emperor's father decided, ten cows couldn't pull back.

Wang Yuan called Li Ying, who immediately ran to inform the players that they were not allowed to compete with the emperor for football.

So it was nonsense, Zhu Houzhao went on the stage with great interest, and it turned out to be a solo performance. As soon as his teammates got the ball, they passed it to him, and the opponents dodged it, and the goalkeeper was so frightened that he fell down with his head in his hands.

"Don't kick it, it's boring!"

Before Zhu Houzhao was sweating, he kicked the ball aside, and came back angrily: "Wang Erlang, you are guilty of bullying the king!" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty is prone to illness in winter, so you should not be active and vigorous. His Majesty wanted to play football, but the minister did not dare to stop him, but he did not dare to let His Majesty sweat and blow the wind in winter. ”

Zhu Houzhao is also a person who knows what is good and bad, in history, he wanted to take the sick royal car to go to the expedition, and the imperial doctor Wu Jie persuaded him to be annoyed, and he just sent someone to fork Wu Jie away, and out of sight is clean.

Of course, playing football is not as attractive as pro-Zheng, and Zhu Houzhao is still so stubborn at this time. He sat back on the Taishi's chair and said to Wang Yuan: "Let them practice their skills well, and when spring begins, I will come to learn from you again!" ”

"Of course you can in the spring." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao was still angry, and shouted: "Let them play again!" ”

After getting familiar with this kind of gameplay, the second game was played more ferociously, and there were basically no fancy tricks to be seen. But the scene of rushing and killing made Zhu Houzhao's blood boil, he didn't like to play football before, just because the intensity of Keju was not high, but now it is finally in line with the emperor's wishes.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qian Ning reminded: "Emperor, it's time to go home." ”

Zhu Houzhao pointed at Li Ying: "You go to the leopard room with me, and practice the team specifically for me!" ”

Li Ying was instantly ecstatic, kneeling down and saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your appreciation!" ”

Well, since you can't play football outside, play in the leopard room. There are many people in the leopard room, and countless teams can be formed, which is enough for the emperor to play football and have fun every day.

Li Sanlang, as the head coach of Leopard Fangju, really has a tendency to develop towards Gao Yu.

If it is known by the officials, it is absolutely necessary to advise Song Huizong.

Wang Yuan pulled Li Ying aside and admonished: "Your Majesty's dragon is not in good health, and he is prone to illness when he gets cold in winter. You have to be careful, in case you go on a business trip, beware of your life! ”

Li Ying was instantly poured a basin of cold water, and the joy disappeared completely, replaced by apprehension, he nodded and said, "I'll pay attention." ”
