Chapter 15 Datang Youzhou Football Team
What's the most heart-wrenching sport? Football, what is the more worrying sport! Chinese football.
This sentence in the sketch of "Torchbearer" has become a classic paragraph, saying that the situation of the national football team in later generations can be described as sad, Xu Yang is a fanatical enthusiast, he does not love the World Cup, only chases the Chinese team, every time he watches the game of the national football team, he has to close the window and close the door, and he trembles as if he was watching Part A, but the most commonly heard commentary is "There is not much time left for the Chinese team." ”
The national football team of later generations disappointed him, but now that he is in Datang, he can no longer hear the derogatory remarks of the national football team in later generations, and tomorrow, what he will go to see is Datang's football.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang had the hope of a strong Datang football, and Meimei fell asleep.
In the first year of Zhenguan, the ninth day of the seventh month.
Xu Yang was in a hazy sleep, when suddenly a crisp shout from the head of the bed:
"Get up~ Brother Xu Yang!"
Xu Yang was shocked a lot, he opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a pair of big watery eyes blinking at the head of his bed.
"Yawn~ It's you, girl, you go play first, I'll sleep for a while"
"Big lazy worm~ It's all time, the sun is drying your buttocks~" Liu Mengli muttered.
"Ah~ girl, I want to go to bed and sleep" Xu Yang looked half dead, he accidentally stayed up a little late watching the news last night, and he didn't go to bed until two o'clock.
"No~ You promised me~ Take me to watch the Keju competition today~ Hurry up~ Hurry up~" Liu Mengli pulled Xu Yang and shook it around.
Xu Yang was shaken, "Okay, okay, don't shake it, I'll take you and I'll take you there."
Xu Yang yawned, with a resentful look on his face, with Liu Mengli, who had been chattering by his side.
The Keju competition is an annual grand competition in Youzhou City. It is held every year on the ninth day of the seventh month in the city.
"The ball cover began in the Tang Dynasty, planted two bamboos, several zhang high, the net was on the top, and the ball was the goal of the goal; The ball is divided into two or so friends, and the winner is won or lost by the corner, isn't it a change of time to bow? -- "General Examination of Literature"
Keju, a widely popular skill and sport among the Han people and even the national army in ancient China, that is, the origin of today's football, Keju is also known as "Keju", "Keju", "Keju", "Ju", "Ju", etc., "Keju" is kicked with the foot, "Ju" is a leather ball, "Keju" is to kick the ball with the foot, there are three forms of direct confrontation, indirect confrontation and white play.
The annual competition in Youzhou City adopts the form of indirect confrontation, which can be regarded as a famous sports event among the people.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were two major improvements in the ball-making process: one was to change the spherical shell made of two pieces of skin to a spherical shell sewn into a circle with eight pieces of pointed skin. The shape of the ball is more rounded. The second is to change the hair stuffed in the spherical shell to put an animal urine bubble, "shh
Because it is an inflatable ball like the later generations, the ball is lighter and can be kicked high. The goal is set on two bamboo poles three feet high, which is called "netting for the door to measure the ball". In terms of kicking methods, the Han Dynasty was a direct confrontation with the detachment game, "secluded and convenient, covering like a soldier". The physical contact between the players on both sides is like fighting. The Tang Dynasty detachment game was no longer a direct confrontation, but a goal in the middle, with both sides on one side, and "the one with the most wins" with a shot.
As soon as the hour passed, the households in the city were already surrounded by water, Xu Yang pulled Liu Mengli towards the households, and faintly looked forward to the fierce confrontation of Datang football in his heart.
I saw Liu Mengli dressed as a man, although she looked like a man, but with her fair face and big eyes, people with a heart could still see that this was a woman, but there was no way, who let Datang stipulate that women who have not left the cabinet cannot go on the street at will.
But since following Xu Yang, Liu Mengli's heart has also become wild, and she has been running out for three days.
Liu Dongliang is also often drunk, so he doesn't care about her at all, anyway, it's good to be close to the big tree of Xuyang, and if you fall in love, go to the street.
This made Liu Mengli, who was in a deep boudoir, also like liberation, and asked Xu Yang to go out to play for three days.
Because Xu Yang's image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, when he appeared in the audience, the people in the audience were boiling, and Xu Yang was proud for a while, and the four strong bodyguards wearing black suits, black pants and black shoes, and sunglasses followed closely behind Xu Yang, looking like a god descending from heaven and full of coolness.
Soon, Xu Yang walked to a small high platform next to the venue, which was a special place to watch the game, and only people with status could sit there and watch.
As soon as Xu Yang and Liu Mengli sat down, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the middle of the venue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, squires, it's our annual Youzhou Keju Competition, this Keju Competition is still the Chengxi team against the Chengdong team, okay, let's start the game!"
Xu Yang looked at such a concise opening sentence and was also a little dazed.
Won't the leaders and guests introduce them one by one?
Leaders don't have to get up and say the opening speech?
The crowd doesn't have to welcome the leader's instructions?
Obediently, Datang's atmosphere is good, and the efficiency is really high.
Just when Xu Yang was still shocked by the simplicity of Datang, the game had already begun, and I saw two three-zhang high bamboo poles standing in the middle of the field, with a round hole in the bamboo poles, and the players on one side were wearing red coats and shorts, and the players on one side were wearing blue coats and shorts. The two teams are ready to go on both sides of the bamboo pole.
I saw that the Chengxi team took the lead in kicking the ball, a player kicked the ball up with his foot, and then a player next to him caught the ball with his foot and passed it to a person next to him, who flew up with a kick, the ball flew into the air, and the ball drilled into the net.
"The Seongsai team leads 1-0!" With the referee's decision, the audience cheered and applauded.
Xu Yang on the small high platform was already shocked, Xiba, the ancient Keju is this thing? Both teams can't touch each other, so as long as either side kicks into that hole, a point is awarded?
At this time, the Chengdong team served, only to see a young man in blue behind them pick it up with his foot, and the ball flew up, and a young man in blue in front of him hung an upside-down golden hook, "Touch!" The ball went into the net.
"The Chengdong team is 1 to 1!" The referee had just pronounced the verdict, and the audience applauded again and was noisy.
"I'll go" Xu Yang has a black line, it's really like this, but what does this mean by playing? In this way, although you can see the foot skills of the players, the games without confrontation can never make people feel mentally excited.
"The Chengxi team leads 2-1!"
"The Chengdong team is tied 2-2!"
The more Xu Yang looked at it, the more bored he became, and his disappointment was beyond words.
"The Chengxi team missed a good opportunity, and it was still a 2-2 draw!"
"The Chengdong team is 3-2!!"
The sun was on the rise, and soon it was noon, and the sleepy Xu Yang was almost asleep sitting on the chair.
"Yay! Brother Xu Yang! Our Chengdong team has won! Liu Mengli on the side jumped three feet high, "Oh~" Xu Yang said with sleepy eyes
"Brother Xu Yang, why don't you look happy, our Chengdong team has won!" Liu Mengli wondered.
"Oh, I know, it's so exciting" Xu Yang hehe.
Liu Mengli looked at Xu Yang and said slowly: "Brother Xu Yang, are you not having fun going out with Mengli, Mengli disturbed your sleep" Before the words were finished, tears rolled in his eyes.
Xu Yang looked at Liu Mengli, who was about to cry, and suddenly woke up, he hurriedly said: "How could it be~ It's my happiest thing to go out to play with our family Mengli." After that, he also hung Liu Mengli's nose with his little thumb.
Liu Mengli burst into tears, her face showed a blush, and Xu Yang was on fire when she saw it.
"Then why does Brother Xu Yang seem unhappy." Liu Mengli looked like she didn't know the answer and vowed not to give up.
"It's because I know a more fun way to keju." Xu Yang is all over the way.
"What is the Keju method?" Liu Mengli was immediately attracted.
"This is football!" Xu Yang seemed to think of something, and said, "Speaking of this football~ It is really our real prosperity, just like the Olympic Games, it is held every four years, called the World Cup." Teams from dozens of countries play together, and only one team will come out on top to win the championship and win the Hercules Cup. ”
"Wow~ It sounds so powerful~ Brother Xu Yang, I really want to see what you said about football." Liu Mengli said with starry eyes.
"Hehe~ I'll talk to these players later, and see if I can get them to perform a football game I said." "By the way, there are too many fields needed for football, and this small stadium can't accommodate it, so I have to build a new stadium." Speaking of this, Xu Yang touched his chin, thinking about the feasibility of this matter, thinking that after the recent paving of the road, there will be a lot of stones left, enough to build a stadium. Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction and did so.
In the first year of Zhenguan, on July 11, the first football team of Datang was officially established, called: Youzhou Football Team.
On July 20, the construction of the first gymnasium in Datang began, which was called: Datang Youzhou Gymnasium.
