Vienna.

Food Industrial Park on the banks of the Danube.

The site is full of workers and two hardened roads are being built from the park towards Vienna's main town and port.

"Today, everyone will strive to finish the last 50 meters, and then they can rest." The overseer looked at the getting dark and said to the workers.

After a busy day, the workers heard that it was finally over, and inadvertently began to speed up the construction, striving to eat a hot meal early.

……

in East Africa.

Nairobi City, Andalio Village.

"Figo, pass the ball over." Mars shouted to his teammates.

Figo, who heard the shouting, turned around and kicked a leather-sewn soccer ball behind him with a flying kick.

"Next!"

I saw a strong figure, speeding towards the direction of the football, Mars stopped the rolling football with his feet, headed towards the unguarded right side, and galloped towards the opposite side with the ball.

"Damn it, stop him." Antonio yelled at his teammates.

The three members of the Jacob Village team hurriedly returned to the empty area in the rear.

However, it was too late, and Mars was like no one, and with a feint, he tricked the three people who came to intercept him.

I didn't forget to turn around and shout at the three of them: "Little cuties, goodbye!" ”

As he spoke, he rushed towards the local goal with the ball.

The goalkeeper looked at Mars who was coming towards him and had already begun to predict the direction of Mars's shot.

The other Jacob players were unable to return in time and could only watch as Mars attacked his own goal alone.

Mars made a sharp stop, a silky transition, at which point the ball hung in mid-air according to inertia, Mars found the right direction, jumped up, and fired a volley towards the right side of the goal.

Everyone on and off the pitch held their breath to see if the ball would work.

In the blink of an eye, the football was already coming in the direction of the goal, and Jacobs Village goalkeeper Soles pounced towards the right side of the goal the moment Mars kicked the goal, only to see the football slammed into Soles's arms.

"Yikes!" Mars gritted his teeth and roared as he watched the intercepted football.

'Another failed shot, it was Mars's third shot today, but unfortunately he wasn't very lucky, he was stopped by Soles. Villagers in Andalio commented.

"I think this ball is very good, there are almost no mistakes, and it is also in the direction of the goal, not out of bounds, the main problem is that the weather has been humid recently, and this ball is sewn with wild boar skin, which absorbs a lot of water, so it looks bulky, which is why Mars's shot cannot pose a threat to Soles." Another villager said.

"That's the same, this ball hasn't been taken out to dry recently, I estimate that it is at least a third heavier than a month ago, if it had been dried in the sun before, at least it would have been able to fly faster, and the goalkeeper would have been too late to defend."

Men and women of all ages from Ontario and Jacob villages came to watch the game, and almost everyone could say a word or two about football.

As the largest sport in the East African colonies, football has become popular in almost every village.

In the leisure season, a thrilling football game is a rare treat for East Africans who lack entertainment, so football has become almost a national sport in East Africa.

The reason why East Africa popularizes football also has its unique conditions, East Africa is not lacking in land, there are a lot of open space, grass is very suitable for playing football, soft soil can effectively prevent injuries.

Moreover, the goal of the soccer ball is very easy to solve, the goal can be replaced by a stone or two lines, and the East African football is made of various animal skins with soft filling.

There are quite a lot of animal skins in East Africa, and there are all kinds of them, all of which are the selfless dedication of the grassland animals, many of which are also sold to Europe by the East African colonies, and the best lion skins and crocodile skins are very popular in Europe, and the price and profit are also very high.

And football, as a team sport, is quite competitive, confrontational, and highly enjoyable, especially in East Africa, where the rules of football are quite imperfect, and there is no unified standard, resulting in a large space for players to play freely, and many players have their own exclusive secrets.

There are all kinds of fancy kicks, resulting in many of the classic kicks that are talked about, and if you put the football game in East Africa in Europe, it is not surprising that there are 100 mistakes in a single game.

However, the rules of East African football are now basically no rules, and their entertainment is far greater than competition.

After all, the villagers just want to have fun, as long as they don't move roughly, they can walk with the ball in their hands, and they can kick as much as they want.

Even the number of people on the field is not too limited, as long as the two sides are equal, theoretically the two sides can have a battle of 100 people.

In East Africa, almost every region has its own set of rules for football, which are the result of common practice.

In such a chaotic football order, each village plays its own game, and the neighboring villages want to have a friendly match, and they have to temporarily formulate a set of rules that are acceptable to everyone before the game.

Of course, very few immigrants in Europe have been exposed to formal football, but the number is very limited, after all, most of the immigrants come from the countryside, and football is only popular in Britain today, and there are not many civilians who can pay attention to sports in this era.

Therefore, the popularization of East African football is indispensable to the promotion of Ernst, who has always attached importance to the timing of East African immigrants, that is, not to let them be too idle, to find more things to do for them.

Football is very suitable for promotion, anyway, the materials and venues are readily available, and it is enough to have a few matches in each region at a fixed time each week.

With more contact, immigrants slowly began to enjoy the sport at other times, spontaneously playing football in their free time.

And it's the kind of people who participate in it, both men and women, and the immigrants in East Africa are relatively young as a whole, and the older ones are not much older.

Children, receiving compulsory education will receive football education in school, East Africa physical education is quite a lot, because textbooks, teaching materials, teaching aids, etc. all need to cost, East African children do not learn much knowledge, so some local schools almost one-third of the curriculum is physical education, but it has become the easiest to popularize the curriculum.

Compared with the more boring activities such as running and long jump, football is obviously more popular with children.

With the whistle blowing.

The friendly match between Ontario Village and Jacob Village ended in a narrow 6-5 victory for Ontario Village, and according to local rules, the two sides shook hands and said goodbye.

"Soles, you have to be careful next time, today I am not in good shape, and in the next game, I must play three." Mars said, holding Soles' hand.

"Hehe, next time, I'll wait and see." Soles chuckled.

"You kid!" Mars gave Soles a shoulder kick, and they both burst out laughing.
