The connection between football and geography

Interest is the best teacher. Geography teaching should give attention to both knowledge and science, and at the same time pay attention to interest. The clever combination of vivid stories, topics of interest to students and geographical knowledge can not only achieve the purpose of imparting knowledge, but also enliven the classroom atmosphere and stimulate students' interest. Football is a fashion and a favorite of many middle school students. Especially in this year's World Cup in Korea and Japan, after paying attention to various media broadcasts and reports on football, the author found that football and geography have some interesting connections. In the usual teaching, skillfully linking it with geographical knowledge often won a full house of laughter, which not only increased the vividness of teaching, but also achieved the teaching purpose.

First, football and the climate.

1. Football match system and climate. People who often watch the ball will find a phenomenon: the European League is inter-annual. If there is a title of "Italian Football League 200 1 ~ 2002", the league in China is not inter-annual, which has a lot to do with the climate. In western Europe, most countries in western Europe have a temperate maritime climate due to the North Atlantic warm current, westerlies, landforms and land and sea locations. The climate is characterized by "no heat in summer, no severe cold in winter and humid seasons", and the temperature is relatively low throughout the year. Even if the league is held in winter, the weather is not a problem. However, North China and Northeast China, which are at the same latitude as Western Europe, have temperate monsoon climate, with warm, humid and rainy summers and cold and dry winters. The monthly average temperature of 1 year is below 0℃. In winter, the northern part of China is freezing, and people often wear thick cotton-padded clothes and cotton hats when they go out, and shops and buses are turned on with heating. At this time, it goes without saying that neither playing football nor watching football can resist the cold. 1999 A league match between Sichuan Quanxing and Shenyang Sea Lion was arranged in 65438+February, which was in the middle of winter. The turf of the stadium is covered with thick snow, and the stadium staff shovel the snow, but the ground of the stadium is very cold, stiff and slippery. In this harsh natural condition, players not only can't play their own level, but also get hurt easily. No wonder Brazilian coach tavares growled after the game, "If you kick someone to death, who will be responsible?" .

2. Football level and climate. The football level of a country or region is often related to the climate. For example, Finland, a Nordic country, is located at a high latitude and it is freezing. In addition to the high level of ice and snow events, the level of football is not flattering. Although Litmanen, a big-name star, plays in five major leagues, "Zhao Zilong leads a group of fools", which is hard to do on the court.

India in South Asia, with a population of 654.38+0 billion, has a football team that is often reduced to a fish maw. The country is located in the tropics, with a tropical monsoon climate, with dry season from March to May, hot and dry, and the temperature is above 40℃. June-September is the rainy season, with high temperature and humidity, so the country is not suitable for football. Except Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, there are generally no professional leagues in other countries in West Asia, because the climate in West Asia is a tropical desert, located near the sea, and the climate is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. The temperature during the day can be as high as 50℃ ~ 60℃. Fans should clearly remember that during the Top Ten Asian Games, the Central Asian Wolf-Uzbekistan team struggled with the United Arab Emirates team in this sultry weather for 15 minutes, and then they couldn't run. The result was cut by UAE at 4: 65,438+0. In the USA 1994 World Cup, Saudi Arabia shined brilliantly and broke into the 16 semi-finals historically, which was related to the high temperature in the United States in summer. Many matches in that World Cup were held at noon, and the stadium temperature was as high as 40℃. Saudi Arabia is located in a tropical desert, so the players can naturally adapt to the high temperature during the competition better than European teams, and the Saudi team's good results are also attributed to God.

3. Football style and climate. A country's football style also has a certain relationship with the climate. We know: traditional football is bold, long pass and hanging shot; Brazilian football is known as artistic football because of its superb skills and tacit cooperation. The different football styles of the two countries are related to their respective climates. Britain is located in the plain and has a mild temperate maritime climate. Simply from the geographical point of view, it is completely adaptable to use rough punching hanging, such as England, Ireland and Norway. However, Brazil is located in the tropics, and its population is mainly concentrated in the Brazilian Plateau. In the hot climate and plateau terrain, if the players play English, their physical strength can't stand it. The climate and terrain determine that their football must pay attention to cooperation and take the road of artistic football.

The domestic league, even the Shanghai hegemony ended ahead of schedule, and Shenhua withered prematurely. There is a dispute between the southern faction and the northern faction in domestic football. Players in the northern style are tall, strong and have strong impact. The southern style is technical, fast and flexible. In recent years, football in China has declined in the south and flourished in the north. Several teams in Guangdong have been relegated one after another, football in Hubei has also struggled in A B, and teams in Hunan and Guangxi have even disappeared. 200 1 B League, Liaoning Youth Team and Dalian Saidelong Team held their heads high and advanced into the first division. The phenomenon that the domestic league is more important in the north than in the south is more obvious, and there are few southern players in national teams at all levels. The different styles between north and south are related to the different climatic conditions between north and south.

4. Home layout and climate. For two consecutive Top Ten matches, the home of China team was arranged in the northern city, because the Top Ten matches were held from September to 10, and the teams in West Asia were extremely uncomfortable with the low temperature in northern China at this time. Under the low temperature, the players in West Asia become stiff, the flexibility of their movements decreases, and they can't get excited, just as the players in China can't adapt to the high temperature in West Asia. 1993 World Cup qualifiers, China ignored the influence of climate for the sake of the market, and even failed to qualify for the group. This example reflects from another angle that our understanding of football at that time was quite immature.

There is an interesting and true story about football and climate. London, the foggy city, is named for its fog. In a football match, a player was kicked out of the court for a foul and then quietly returned to the court under the cover of fog shortly after the end, which actually escaped the eyes of the audience and the referee.

Second, football and terrain.

In addition to the close relationship between football and climate, the influence of terrain on football is also very obvious. For example, the plateau is an important advantage that can be considered when arranging the home of a football match. In South America, where football is developed, Bolivia is not a football power, but on the Bolivian Plateau, the home of Bolivia at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, Brazilian players find it difficult to breathe, let alone play their own level. China's national team once set its home in Kunming, a plateau, and Bayi team once wrote the myth of unbeaten plateau. Xizang Autonomous Region has never sent a football team to participate in competitions at all levels, which is probably related to the terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

In the first stage of the World Cup qualifiers, one of China's rivals, the South Asian island country Maldives, not only had a tenacious style and a wonderful national anthem, but was also deeply moved by media reports that there was only one stadium with turf in the country. The reason why Maldives has only one stadium with turf is because it is an island country in the tropical Indian Ocean. These islands are made up of sand and rocks formed after coral died. There is little vegetation except coconut trees. The only asphalt with turf is imported from abroad. It is the topography of Coral Island that determines the football participation in this country.

Third, football and traffic.

A mature and reasonable competition system should be home and away. All competitions in Europe are home and away, while some major competitions in Asia used to adopt the championship system. For example, the second stage of 1995 Olympic Asian qualifiers is the competition system. I remember that in the heavy rain in Kuala Lumpur, the Olympic team lost 0:3 to the old enemy South Korea. It is really a helpless move for some Asian competitions to adopt the competition system. Because of the vast territory, inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped economy in Asia, the competition system is often adopted. We know that the three European cups are in full swing and become UEFA's money-making machines, while the three Asian cups are a bit unpopular. The reason is that European countries are relatively concentrated and have convenient transportation, while Asia is not.

There are many ridiculous and even sad stories about football and traffic. Dutch star Bergkamp was afraid of flying, so he missed some important games, even being ridiculed by fans and coaches. 1964, Manchester United suffered an air crash, all of them were killed, and the tragedy was staged, which made people sigh.

Fourth, football and race.

We know that it is a great honor for football players in the "football kingdom" to wear the yellow jersey of the Brazilian national team. However, Brazil is a multi-ethnic country, and various races have been intermarried for a long time, forming yellow and white mixed blood and black and white mixed blood, accounting for almost half of the total population of the country. Therefore, whenever the Brazilian national team appears on the court, there will be bursts of yellow storms on the court. However, as long as we take a closer look, most big-name stars in yellow shirts are really likable. No wonder some people say that Brazil is a team of ugly people.

African football has made great progress in the past ten years and achieved remarkable results in a series of major competitions. These achievements have something to do with race. African blacks have good physical fitness, good flexibility and outstanding explosive power, and can adapt to the increasingly fierce competition.

During the top ten matches, Uzbekistan team left a deep impression on us, with strong players and strong impact. Central Asian countries are located in the plateau, and Central Asians have large lung capacity. In addition, the diet structure of grassland nomads is mainly meat, so Central Asians are generally strong and there are more white immigrants in Central Asia, so the style of Central Asian teams is unique in Asia.

People in tropical areas tend to be shorter. In Southeast Asia, although the team's technical level is not low, it often loses by a big score in the confrontation with strong teams, and the advantages established by strong teams such as China and South Korea in front of Southeast Asian teams are almost unshakable. The lack of height determines that Southeast Asian teams often play a supporting role in international football.

Watching and talking about football is becoming a fashion in our life. Geography itself is a lively, interesting, practical and scientific knowledge. Football is not only a sport, but also a culture and philosophy. Football and geography are inextricably linked. The content of geography teaching doesn't have to come from textbooks. As long as we pay attention to life, stories everywhere can be used as vivid teaching materials to make our teaching full of vitality. Injecting relatively vivid materials into relatively serious and formal classroom teaching is not only the development of hobbies, but also the flexible use of geography. Amateur interests, hobbies and work can complement each other. This paper links football with geography, which is not far-fetched. This paper has done some thinking and analysis in order to arouse people's attention to geographical related things.

Football is mainly divided into physical strength and technical contest.

Moreover, the technology should be based on the origin and promotion degree.

This aspect is related to geographical issues.

Physical confrontation is closely related to geographical factors.

Black people have relatively strong muscles, while white people and yellow people have some muscle degeneration (relative to black people)

The discussion between the two sides can get the connection between football and geography ~
