The Tang people actually loved to play football.
The reason why there were so many students who were good at playing football was because of the Tang people's love for football.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a traditional festival that had disappeared today — the Cold Food Festival. It was 105 days after the Winter Solstice and one or two days before the Qingming Festival. It was said that it was to commemorate Jie Zitui, who would rather be burned to death in the mountains than accept rewards during the Spring and Autumn Period. According to tradition, there was a ban on fireworks and only cold food on this day. In the Qin, Han, and Sui dynasties, there were more activities such as mourning, trekking, swinging, and cuju.
In the Tang Dynasty, the trend of "Cold Food Cuju" reached its peak, and it almost became a "legal football day." If you didn't go to the suburbs to play football, it would be as if the day didn't pass.
In the Tang Dynasty, Xuchang poet Wang Jian wrote in a poem, "Palace Ci." "The night's makeup remains until tomorrow, always standing by the bright sun flower tree. Cold Food Cuju's wife, Long Bai, first scatter the money in the treasury. "
This poem had a high citation rate in many ancient sports research articles. The "Bai Da" in the poem was a very popular non-goal kicking game during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was played by two or more people. Bai Juyi from Xinzheng also wrote a poem, "Cold Food at Luo Qiao." It described the scene on the football field, "Cuju's dust doesn't rise, splashing fire on the rain."
Other than that, famous poets such as Wang Wei, Li Bai, Liu Yuxi, and Wei Yingwu all mentioned Cold Food Cuju in their works. Due to the wide spread of "Cold Food Cuju" in the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu, who had been wandering all his life, wrote a poem, "Qingming." In his later years, he lamented that "Ten years of cuju will bring the chick far away, ten thousand miles of swing customs will be the same."
Du Fu was born in Gongyi and had been to Luoyang, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hubei, and other places. This showed that these places had the custom of Cold Food Cuju.
The Tang people's love for football could be seen from this! It was completely understandable that so many young people who liked to play football were born in such a big environment.
There were many football experts in the Tang Dynasty. Although they weren't as famous as the Song Dynasty, there were still many of them. For example, Yang Jian and Wu Chongxun were guests of the Tang Zhongzong's son, Crown Prince Li Zhongjun.
It was also because of this football atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty that the Song Dynasty produced Gao Qiu and Liu Sanfu.
Beep ~!
Li Zexuan blew the whistle and gestured for the game to start. Li Chengqian's side got the right to kick off. Li Tai saw that the other side had so many more players and knew that with his strength, there was no way he could directly break through. He did a side pass and passed the football to Li Chengqian's feet, who was only ten steps away from him in the front left. Then, he quickly ran forward to provide support.
After experiencing Li Zexuan's teachings, Li Tai already knew that in a football match, one could not show off one's bravery. This was a game of eleven people. It would be difficult for one person to have the last laugh if he or she relied solely on one person's recklessness.
After Li Chengqian received the ball, he did not dare to be careless because Cheng Chumo was rushing towards him. With that speed, as long as he dared to dribble a few steps, Cheng Chumo would definitely be able to catch up and intercept the ball!
On the field, there was no such thing as a crown prince or a minister. Cheng Chumo would definitely not be courteous to him!
As a member of the royal family, Li Chengqian had the best and most exquisite ball to play with since he was young. He also loved to play football since he was young, so his basic skills were relatively solid. He looked up and aimed a direction. Then, with a cross pass, he accurately passed the football to Li Huairen's feet!
This was a method that they had just researched to deal with players like Cheng Chumo, who had extremely strong individual abilities. It was to continuously pass the ball! This tactic, which emphasized absolute ball control, was somewhat similar to the tiki-taka tactic that Guardiola used during his time as Barcelona's coach in modern times! However, tactics were not the decisive factor in the outcome of a game. The key was whether the players cooperated well with each other!
"Huairen! Catch the ball! "
After playing for so long, Li Chengqian's blood was already boiling. At this moment, he no longer had the image of a cultured and refined crown prince. His voice had also become louder!
That's right. Li Huairen happened to be in the group of people who had just joined. Li Xiaogong was a martial arts grandmaster. Even if his son was not as good, he would at least be much better than the average person.
There was no problem with Li Chengqian's prediction of where the football would land. He even left a small margin for Li Huairen. However, Li Huairen had just come on the field. It was his first time experiencing such a formal football match. His reactions in various parts of his body could not keep up with the rhythm. When he heard Li Chengqian calling for him, he subconsciously paused. With that pause, the distance between him and the football had become a little too far. It was too late to chase forward because Sun Zifan had already taken the opportunity to close in on the football.
(⊙ o ⊙) Wow! The Crown Prince team's ball has been stolen! "
"This little guy's reaction is really fast!"
(Now that Sun Zifan and Li Tai had successfully lost weight, no one called them little fatty anymore.)
"Good ball!"
"This should be considered a mistake in Crown Prince's pass, right? What a pity! "
"Bullsh * t, it was obviously that student who was stunned for a moment and could not keep up with His Highness Crown Prince's pass! Do you know how to watch the game? If you don't, don't talk nonsense! "
After seeing Sun Zifan steal the football, the onlookers outside the field exclaimed, sighed, and cheered loudly. In any case, it was very lively.
These people did not have the opportunity to play in person. They could only watch from the sidelines as they competed with Li Chengqian, the country's heir to the throne.
The situation here was in full swing, constantly attracting students who had finished eating and were passing by. After a while, the field was already surrounded by a circle of people. There were even some teachers from Yanhuang College. Now that they had just finished their exams, they also had time to come out and watch the fun.
"Beautiful! Zifan, quickly pass it to me! "
Cheng Chumo saw Sun Zifan steal the football and hurriedly waved to the latter while shouting loudly at the same time.
Needless to say, Sun Zifan knew that Cheng Chumo was their team's most important scoring player. After grabbing the ball, he did not hesitate to pinpoint Cheng Chumo's position and passed the ball over!
He and Cheng Chumo were only three feet apart. At such a close distance, of course, it was more reliable and effective to pass the ball over!
The football was seen drawing a straight line on the grass and was about to roll to Cheng Chumo's feet. Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the football's path. This sure-fire pass was actually stolen!
"Wow!"
There was an uproar outside the field!
"It's King of Han!"
"So fast!"
"I heard that King of Han knows martial arts. He used martial arts, right?"
"Bullsh * t! What do you know? King of Han relied entirely on his body's reaction. If he used martial arts, do you think that a master like Yamachō would not be able to see it? "
"That's right! Can you be more powerful than Yamachō? "
"What a beautiful grab! Good job, His Highness King of Han! "
"Look! His Highness King of Han is going to counterattack! This … is straightforward! He is going to break through the opponent's defense line alone! "
The onlookers outside the field were completely affected by the player's every move on the field. They sometimes cheered, sometimes shouted, and sometimes sighed. This college under the setting sun was once again filled with vitality at night!
