Edit this paragraph about football across the ages

Football is a highly confrontational sport. Players use various actions allowed by the rules during the game, including running, emergency stops, turning, falling to the ground, etc. Jump, collide, etc. to compete fiercely with your opponents. The long competition time, large number of spectators and large competition venues are unmatched by any other sports. Traditional football is composed of 20 regular hexagonal pieces (white), 12 regular pentagonal pieces (black) and 32 pieces of skin. The ball used in football has a cowhide shell and a rubber bladder, and is smaller than a basketball. Football matches are divided into 11-a-side, 7-a-side and 5-a-side. The age groups include u15, u17, u19 Olympic group, adult group and youth group.

In 307 BC, during the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao reformed and implemented "Hufu riding and archery", and the people of Zhao learned how to ride horses and archery. King Zhao often took his cronies to ride out of the city for a stroll, which was very majestic. One day, he came to a forest and saw several hares in the forest. The king opened his mouth and said, "catch them alive." Then he divided his troops into four groups and caught them together. Unexpectedly, in the fright, the hares ran rampant. , fled from the cracks of the horses one after another, finding nothing, everyone shook their heads and sighed. Suddenly a counselor's eyesight lit up and he stepped forward to propose a plan: "Your Majesty, this kind of siege is very interesting. We might as well use balls instead of rabbits. We can play with them every day without leaving the palace." "What a good idea." King Zhao praised it "This is a good idea." I'll leave it to you to take full responsibility." Thus, football was born in China. But at that time it was still a sport played on horseback and was called "Cuju". In the Han Dynasty, there was a football field specially used for competitions, which was called "Jucheng". The Jucheng was rectangular, with 6 jucha chambers at each end, in the shape of a moon cave, symmetrical to each other, and surrounded by walls. The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous period for Cuju activities. During this period, not only did it develop greatly, but football also began to be exported to the outside world, and the first place it landed was the United Kingdom. Cuju was originally exported as a complete product. However, due to the underdeveloped transportation at that time, the transportation facilities

were very backward. After several months of long journey, the horses were exhausted when Cuju arrived in the UK. , there is only one ball left. But even such a ball is still regarded as a treasure by the British. It is only an exclusive activity for the royal family and prohibits people from enjoying this kind of entertainment. In the 11th century, the Danes invaded England. One day, when the English were digging the battlefield, they accidentally dug up several Danish skulls. Thinking of the evil of the Danish invasion, these English people were extremely angry. They raised their feet and kicked hard at the skull. In addition to relieving their anger, they also felt the fun of playing football. As a result, more and more Englishmen who were digging the battlefield joined the team of playing "ball". A group of children also came to play. However, they found that the skull hurt their feet when they kicked it, so they replaced it with cow bladders - —This was the birth of modern football. This patriotic behavior impressed the British King. In order to reward the people, the British King ordered the royal football to be open to the public. Soon, football spread among the people and became a popular sports and entertainment activity. At the beginning of the 12th century, football games began in England. The competition is a recreational event held twice a year, usually between two cities. The host throws the ball into the air and the game begins.

The two sides will rush forward, shouting, kicking and hugging each other. Whichever side can kick the ball into the other side's downtown will be the winner. If the ball enters a residential house on the way, the athletes will rush in and kick it around, often smashing things in the house to pieces, and the homeowner will have to lament his own misfortune. Pedestrians on the road will suffer a sudden disaster if they encounter a rolling ball. Therefore, at that time, when the football game came, people had to avoid disasters and close their doors until the game was over before returning to normal. Such football matches were strongly opposed by citizens, and the British government issued a ban: football matches must be played on open spaces, and those who entered the downtown area were severely punished, so special football fields appeared. On October 26, 1863, the world's first football organization, the English Football Association, was established in London, and the rules were unified, and modern football was officially established. In ancient China, kicking the ball was called "Cuju". As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, the Cuju game existed. In the Western Han Dynasty, "Jucheng" was built specifically for competitions. The Tang Dynasty was a prosperous period for Cuju activities. Inflated balls replaced the balls filled with hair in the past, called "air blankets", and goals replaced the Juju room. In the West, after the 10th century AD, some countries such as France, Italy, and the United Kingdom had football games. By the end of the 15th century, it was known as "football" and gradually developed into the modern football game. On October 26, 1863, the British established the world's first football organization, the British Football Association, in London, and unified the rules of football. People call this day the birth day of modern football. There are 14 football rules formulated this time, which are the basis of today's football rules. Starting from the 2nd Olympic Games in 1900, football has been listed as an official event of the Olympic Games, but it does not allow professional athletes to participate. On May 21, 1904, FIFA was established in Paris. Since 1930, the World Football Championship (also known as the World Cup) has been held every four years, and restrictions on professional athletes have been lifted. Since then, modern football has developed day by day. In medieval England, football became an activity that many young people were passionate about. They chased the ball through the narrow streets, often kicking it into the windows of homes on the street. So the King of England had to ban football. From the 12th to the 16th century, the British king issued "football bans" four times. However, due to the special charm of football, the ban failed to kill it. In 1835, the world's first football club was established in Sheffield, England. In 1863, the first football association was established in the UK. From then on, organized football under certain rules began to spread from the UK to Europe and the world. At the end of the 19th century, football was quite popular in Western European countries. In the first Olympic Games in 1896, football was included as one of the events. As a result, the Danish team defeated the Greek team 9:0 and became the first Olympic football champion. In 1904, the football associations of seven countries, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, established the International Football Federation in France and elected Frenchman Guélain as the first FIFA president.

The essence of sport

Football itself combines the characteristics of various human sports. The sudden start between athletes, competition Running for the ball is like sprinting; the goalkeeper jumps up, down, and sideways, just like a jumping event; those athletes with good flexibility hang upside down on a golden hook and dive to the top, like gymnastics; the competition between two athletes Reasonable collision is a bit like the expressive power and beauty of rugby...

Popularization

An important reason is that football does not have high requirements for participants. For athletes who play football, it doesn't matter whether they are tall, short, fat or thin, unlike other sports. For example, in football, those who are small will definitely suffer a big loss; basketball is a world dominated by "old people". But football is different. This provides all children around the world with the opportunity to dream of becoming a superstar.

Unpredictability

The contingency of football results is an important reason for the fanaticism of fans around the world.

Because in the football world, there is no absolute strong team. Liverpool may be "overthrown" by an unknown second division team or even an amateur team. The Brazilian team, which was full of stars, was defeated by the then immature Japanese team in the Olympic football match. In 1966, the "Third World" football team of North Korea defeated the Italian team and entered the World Cup quarterfinals. In the just-concluded World Cup warm-up match, the Chinese team unexpectedly defeated the French team, the former world champion and the runner-up in the last World Cup. So, in a football match, you never know the outcome until the last moment.

Handsome guy

Football is a game of coarse and fine, and big guys are actually very smart. Personal dribbling requires meticulous technique and good timing. Sometimes a short time difference or a few steps can lead to a breakthrough, a wonderful pass or even a goal! Players from both sides not only compete in football, but also constantly compete psychologically: harassment with small moves, pressure with big moves to cause fear in the opponent, provocations with words to anger others, and handling the ball under high pressure at critical moments (such as a shooter during a penalty kick) and the goalkeeper's mentality, whether he can stay awake during overtime) are all the highlights and things to chew on in football.

Confrontational

Football is a highly competitive and confrontational sport. During the game, the two sides compete for control to score the ball into the opponent's goal without letting the ball enter. The goal of our own goal is to start a hand-to-hand battle, especially the competition for time and space near the two penalty areas is extremely fierce and exciting. In a high-level match, the two sides fell to the ground more than 200 times due to fighting and collision, which shows the fierceness of the confrontation.

Edit this paragraph of football terminology

Curve ball is a technical term in football. Refers to the kicking technique of making the ball move in an arc. When the football is running, it is formed due to the strong rotation, which creates a pressure difference in the air on both sides. Because the ball moves in an arc, it is commonly known as the "banana ball." When kicking a curve ball, the part of your foot hitting the ball should be away from the center of gravity of the ball. It is often used to bypass the defender in the middle of the passing route, or to confuse the goalkeeper during the shot, causing him to make wrong judgments. When taking a direct free kick, shooting with a curve ball is an important way to score. Diving dive is a football technical term. A more difficult technique for goalkeepers to save the ball. Use the foot on the same side as the ball to push hard on the ground, bend the knee on the opposite side of the leg and swing it up, so that the body jumps into the air to catch the ball. Because it jumps sideways, it increases the range of control, so it can save the ball that is difficult to save with other movements. Sweeper is another name for a deep-lying central defender who undertakes specific defensive tasks in football matches.

According to the rules: When an offensive player passes the ball, if there are less than 2 people from the defensive team between the receiving player and the opponent's end line, it is offside. The defensive player takes advantage of this rule and suddenly runs forward in a very short period of time before the opponent passes the ball, causing a situation where there is a defensive player between the opponent's receiving player and his own end line, causing the opponent to commit an offside foul. Anti-offside tactics This is an offensive tactic adopted in response to the opponent's "creating offside" tactics. When an offensive player realizes that the defender is using offside tactics to disrupt their own offense, they can promptly change the direction of the pass, allowing the player behind to catch the ball or directly dribbling the ball for a quick shot, thereby preventing the opponent from retreating in time. Fence tactics are also called human wall tactics. In the dangerous area in front of the goal, when the opponent takes a free kick, several defenders line up to form a "human fence" to help the goalkeeper block part of the angle of the opponent's shot. A one-on-one tactic used when attacking in a one-on-one game. When two people pass one by one, the two pass everything, and the passer receives the ball and releases the ball again, so that the ball passed by the passer looks like a collision. The same as on the wall, thus speeding up passing people, hence the name. The main world football competitions include the Olympic Games football matches and the World Cup football matches.
