Although the previous football match was very lively, the academy wasn't on holiday at that time. Even if the students were excited and wanted to share it with outsiders, they couldn't leave the academy!
But now that they were on holiday, the students could go out if they wanted to.
Therefore, the news of Li Zexuan's invention of football and the two small-scale football matches held by Yanhuang College were spread out in a very short period of time!
But what made Li Er helpless was that when Wei Zheng found out that he went to Yanhuang College to play football with the students, he went to the palace and scolded him. It was said that after Wei Zheng scolded him and left, several cups and vases in the Sweet Nectar Hall were broken!
In order to let more people know about this new sport, Li Zexuan first wrote an article on the front page of Datang Daily to introduce the rules of football. In order to make it easier to understand, he also attached a simple diagram. Then, he took advantage of the students' holiday and opened the academy for a day, allowing outsiders to come in and watch the match. As for the players on the field, they were all students with good football skills.
"Wow! This Yanhuang College is really impressive! "
"Isn't that so? It's said that Duke Yong 'an spent hundreds of thousands of strings of cash for this academy! "
"Hiss! So much money? "
"Hey! Don't make a fuss! We're here to watch the football match today. It's not too late to watch the academy after the match! "
At noon that day, people who saw the news from the newspaper came one after another. There were men, women, old, and young. A total of thousands of people came, and there was an endless stream of people coming to watch the show. It was a hubbub of voices and an unprecedented grand occasion!
Without exception, basically everyone who came to Yanhuang College was first shocked by the magnificent building of the academy. Then, under the guidance of the academy's guards, they came to the academy's field. There, the football players were warming up.
"This is football? It looks similar to the football we used to play? "
"What do you know? If you look carefully, you'll find that the football is more flexible! Didn't you see that the child flew high with a light kick? "
"Yo! Shouye, now that you mention it, sigh ~! This football is fun! Hey, I'll ask the servants to buy one later? "
"Buy? Where do you want to buy it? "
"Strange Interest Pavilion, of course. Since this football was made by the Marquis of Yong 'an, it must be bought from Quirk Pavilion! "
"Tsk! How long has it been since you last went out? Who told you that Strange Interest Pavilion sells footballs? "
Today was the first time Yanhuang College was officially opened to the public. There was no lack of nobles present. Xiao Shouye, the eldest grandson of the current Prime Minister Xiao Yu, was also present!
This guy just got married not long ago. Recently, he was so bored that his balls hurt. How could he be indifferent when he heard that Yanhuang College was going to have a good show?
"Eh, I haven't been paying attention to these things lately. Why? Shouye, are you saying that Strange Interest Pavilion doesn't sell this thing? How is that possible? "
The other man said in disbelief.
Xiao Shouye curled his lips and said, "Why not? This football is so rare! At present, only the Academy has them. It is said that His Majesty personally went to Li Zexuan yesterday and asked for 50 footballs from the military. He said that the military will also implement this thing in the future! "
"There's going to be football in the military? Heh, that's great. I'll ask my father to get me one later! "
"Lingwu, you should stop thinking about this. There are only 50 footballs in total, but they have to be distributed to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Sixteen Guards. There's not enough to go around in the first place. If you continue to think about it, you'll definitely cause trouble for your father!"
Xiao Shouye's expression turned serious when he heard this and warned him.
It turned out that the young man next to him was Chai Lingwu. His father was the General of the Right, Chai Shao, and his mother was Princess Ping Yang. He was a relative of the Emperor and had an illustrious family background!
However, this kid was clearly not someone who knew his place. Otherwise, he would not have rebelled with Princess Gao Yang and Fang Yiai in the fourth year of Yong Hui. In the end, he died without a complete corpse. This could be inferred from his words just now.
"Hehe, Shouye, aren't you too cowardly? At worst, I'll just return it when I'm done playing with it, right? Would His Majesty do anything to my father because of a football? "
Chai Lingwu said with a disdainful smile.
Xiao Shouye shook his head and did not try to persuade him anymore.
Coincidentally, the game also started at this moment. Although the crowd who came to watch the fun today had seen the introduction of the rules of the football game in the newspaper, it was their first time seeing a real football game! The feeling was still different.
Beep ~!
As a Yamachō from Yanhuang College, Li Zexuan naturally could not be the referee every time. Today's referee was the bearded man. As the only martial arts instructor (physical education teacher) in Yanhuang College, he naturally had to take the field for this kind of thing! The bearded man blew the bamboo whistle, and the game officially began!
"Boom!"
Iron Egg kicked off, and Wang Meng dribbled the ball deep. The opposing players immediately came up to snatch the ball. A fierce competition officially began!
The players on the field today did not have prominent students like Li Tai, Li Chengqian, and Li Ke. They were basically all ordinary students. After all, with so many outsiders present today, it would be beneath Li Chengqian and the others to play in person!
It was the first time that the spectators had seen such a novel way of playing football. At first, they were not used to it, but after a while, they could not help but cheer loudly.
"Good! This pass is too f * cking beautiful! "
"Wow! This pass is too awesome! Who's this student? "
"The ball went in! Awesome! That kid is too good. He can kick it even from so far away! "
"Godly! That pass is too accurate, right? It passed half the field and still reached his teammate's feet! Are all Yanhuang College students so good at football? "
"The ball went in again! What? It was actually stopped by the goalkeeper? F * ck! I thought it went in! "
"Haha! Speaking of which, this way of playing is more interesting than the way we used to play! "
"Of course! F * ck, I also want to play a game! "
"Sigh! If I had known, I would have gotten into Yanhuang College too! "
"F * ck! Look at what you're saying. Even if you did get in, can you get in? "
Cheers and shouts filled the stadium. Yunshan, which was originally relatively quiet, suddenly became a sea of joy!
It was already lunchtime, but no one was willing to leave for lunch. It was as if they had forgotten about this matter. It was only when the match officially ended at 4: 45 pm that the crowd felt hungry. They were reluctant to part with the match and left in groups of three to five to go down the mountain to eat!
Along the way, it was inevitable that they would talk about the game just now. As they spoke, they were beaming with joy and were very excited!
That was not all. After these people went back to spread the news, this football game would set off a football craze among the people of Chang 'an!
