Chapter 31: The Late Ming Dynasty Football Match (Part II)

The gymnasium, which was once open. Of course, it can't all be opened, at least the officials from the military and political circles are called in, and then some gentry, big businessmen, ** landlords, and finally more than 5,000 civilians, and most of them are aborigines of Chang'an, with a clean background.

There is no way, there are so many high-ranking officials here, and if something bad happens, it will be a great loss for the republic.

At present, everyone's eyes are focused on the middle of the gymnasium. A field is paved with turf and there is a goal on both sides.

This kind of decoration was not available before, so it is easy to think of an upcoming football match. This kind of design should have this direct relationship with the football game, but this design is completely different from the Keju in their memory.

What kind of football game is this, the game has not yet started, and it has already attracted everyone's curiosity.

Under the watchful eye, Zhang Hongbin walked out of the rest area, and at the moment he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and knee-length shorts. I don't know why, it gives people a feeling of profanity. But unlike profane clothes, it's obviously a special design, so it doesn't look indecent.

"The design of this dress should be directly related to sports. It cannot be denied that whether it is practicing martial arts or sports, it will be much more convenient to wear this clothes. Military pundits commented on the outfit.

Especially in the summer, it will be more comfortable, after all, long clothes and pants or something, it is really uncomfortable in the summer.

The two teams totaled twenty-two people, divided into two columns and followed Zhang Hongbin to play. The twenty-two people were dressed in similar clothes as Zhang Hongbin, but with different Arabic numerals written on their backs. These days, there are basically no people who don't know this.

It is not difficult to see from their outfit that these are the two junior teams that are about to compete. The clothes they wear are entirely in guò colors to distinguish friend from foe. However, the course is much larger than the traditional Kemari field, and if you run far away, you may pass the wrong person in a hurry. With uniforms to identify friend and foe, the situation drops a lot. But what are the Arabic numerals for?

In the end, fourteen teenagers followed behind the two teams. Because they didn't wear jerseys, I don't know what role they played in this competition, but just looking at them following the two teams, it should be directly related to the two teams.

It's not surprising that a smart person immediately thought of a substitute, an injury in the game is inevitable, and if you have to leave the field if you are injured, then isn't there one person missing? It's a big flaw for the whole team, especially when the field is so big. Set up substitutes, so that you can replace people when you encounter any special circumstances, and you can even use the gap of substitution to let the players rest and rest.

After figuring this out, many people became more curious about this Keju competition and hoped that the game would start soon.

Zhang Hongbin knew that these guys couldn't wait, so he asked the two teams to stand in the middle of the court, and then took out a copper coin. Then, come to the captains of the two teams and signal them to guess the pros and cons.

"I choose the front!" Zhang Jing, as the captain of the yellow team, took the lead in making the choice.

"Then I'll pick the opposite!" Zhang Cai, as the captain of the red team, can only choose the opposite at the moment.

Zhang Hongbin threw the copper coin, then covered it on the back of his hand, opened it and found that the copper coin was facing up, so it was the yellow team that took the lead.

The teams began to move in an orderly manner, with the yellow team playing a 4-3-3 formation and the red team adopting a 5-3-2 formation.

Everyone is curious, how is this formation different?

Especially in the goal, how can there be a special person guarding there? Keju, the emphasis is on getting the ball and kicking it directly into the hole, so everyone is rushing up to grab the ball until others are close to the hole, who is the closest to their own people, who will go over to defend, where will be like this to guard the goal.

But then again, the number of players in this game has increased a lot, from 12 people to 22 people playing football. There are so many people that it's not a big problem to have one person dedicated to the goal.

Eventually, with a whistle from Zhang Hongbin, the game began.

All the teenagers ran and raced fast on the wide field. In the eyes of many laymen, this game seems to be much more interesting than ordinary Kemari, but in the eyes of professionals, especially soldiers, they see military strategy.

The first is the layout, not to rush up, but to perform their duties. There are those who are specifically responsible for the charge, especially the one in the No. 10 uniform, which is obviously the leader of the team, and when placed on the battlefield, it can be regarded as a marshal. Yes, the striker is responsible for attacking, the center is responsible for going back and forth as needed, the guard is responsible for guarding the position, and the goalkeeper is the logistics baggage force, the difference is the layout, but the ideas are the same.

Just as playing chess can exercise the ability to arrange troops, football can't imagine that it can also play such tricks! And for soldiers, the competition in such a sport is more interesting than sitting in a room and playing chess.

Zhang Jing made a long pass, and the ball reached the upper right of the opponent's goal, and it was only three seconds before and after, and the No. 3 player of the red team and the No. 11 player of the yellow team competed to come here first.

The red team made a flying tackle, intending to win the goal, but did not want the yellow team to take a step first, and carefully kicked the ball out, aiming directly at the goal. The team flew out of a good arc, but the speed was not enough, and the goalkeeper punched him away.

Just when the people felt sorry, they didn't want Zhang Jing to just come to the front of the football that had not yet gone out of bounds, and he would kick his legs.

The football flew into the net, and Zhang Hongbin blew the whistle to signal that the yellow team had scored a point.

At that moment, the entire stadium was boiling.

Before the whistle blew, they were all fascinated by it, and it wasn't until the whistle blew and said that the yellow team had scored a point that they really came to their senses. Then cheer for the yellow team, they are not fans of a certain team at the moment, they will cheer for the winner no matter which victory it is.

"Interesting, really interesting...... I said, why don't we find a way to play a soccer ball? "Some people began to mention yì.

"But this kind of new football, we don't understand the rules......" the friend next to him said regretfully.

"That'...... Read on first, probably know the rules, and then find someone to play in a team? And the people who had mentioned yì said.

"That's a great idea!" The friends next to him lit up their eyes and immediately agreed.

It's not many, but it's not impossible, and as the game continues to start, the mood grows stronger. A lot of people think: why not form a team to have fun with? This kind of competition is a man's sport!

But he didn't want to, when the yellow team No. 6 was dribbling the ball, the red team No. 9 accidentally gave him a blow, and the yellow team No. 6 suddenly fell to the ground in pain.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts were raised, and they were all curious about how to judge such a situation.

I saw Zhang Hongbin come to the front of the red team No. 9, take out a red card in his chest pocket, and shake it in front of him.

The team member suddenly withered, trying to argue something, but then he could only leave the field silently.

"Sure enough, if you hurt someone, you can't continue to play...... Slowly, why can the yellow team let people replace the injured players, but the red team can't? "Soon, someone noticed the difference in the field.

"Isn't this nonsense? The Yellow team made no mistakes, and the players were injured and could only choose to be on the bench to continue playing. But if the red team was sent off for injury, what is the point of being sent off if they can still be substituted? The audience next to him suddenly said disdainfully.

The person who spoke first immediately understood, smiled, and continued to watch the game.

With one less person, the red team's defense was much weaker, and finally in the last five minutes of the first half, Zhang Jing scored another powerful volley to win another point for the yellow team. At that moment, there was even more jubilation outside the field. The moment they scored, it was really refreshing for them.
