Sun Xin, Tian Erniu, and Zhao Houhou soon left the Haiwang Tower and went about their business.
Zhu Houzhao was a little tired of looking at the whole Tianjin and said boredly.
"..."
Liu Jin and Liu Jin were immediately speechless.
They also went whaling. Believe it or not, Emperor Hongzhi skinned two people first.
"Your Highness, this whale hunting is actually just like that. There is nothing fun at all. I... have a good fun thing that we can do together."
Facing Zhu Houzhao, who was full of energy and had nowhere to vent, Liu Jin really didn't know how to divert his attention for a moment.
As he rolled his eyes, when he saw the spherical glass lamps in the box, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a sport that would be popular in later generations, which was definitely very good.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao asked excitedly.
"Football~"
Liu Jin said with a smile.
"football?"
Zhu Houzhao suddenly became a little confused.
"Let's go, should we go to Tianjin or the academy? I'll tell you later and you'll know~"
Liu Jin smiled and took Zhu Houzhao to Tianjin Maritime University, preparing to introduce the sport of football.
Liu Jin, who comes from a later generation, is a complete football fan.
Football has become popular all over the world in later generations, and its charm is unmatched by any other sports.
Of course, football was already very popular in the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was called Cuju. Gao Qiu could become Gao Taiwei because he could play Cuju.
However, there is still a big difference between Cuju in the Song Dynasty and football in later generations. In comparison, football in later generations is more sophisticated. Cuju is relatively more about individual skills, while football requires more teamwork.
Back in time, Liu Jin wanted to come up with football very early on.
In the past, there was no such condition. If football was only played by the nobles, there would be no way to really popularize it.
It needs to be popularized by the common people and allowed to participate, so that everyone can truly fall in love with it, become crazy and fascinated by it.
Now that the living standards of ordinary people in the Beijing-Tianjin area are constantly improving, Liu Jin feels that if we promote football now, there shouldn't be any big problems.
He took Zhu Houzhao to the playground of Tianjin Maritime Academy and found a large open space that was not hardened with cement. Then Liu Jin also found someone to draw lines with lime on the open space and then made a goal.
Then we invited dozens of Tianjin Maritime Academy students to come over, and then asked people to make a ball out of sheepskin, stuffing it with plush, and a primitive and simple football was made.
"This is football?"
"Isn't this just Cuju~"
Zhu Houzhao said immediately with the football in his hand.
“It’s different from Cuju~”
"Wait a minute, Your Highness, you will like it."
Liu Jin smiled and said confidently.
"Everyone, come here, come here, I'll show you how to play."
Then Liu Jin called everyone over and began to explain the rules of future football.
As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately understood. In fact, the simplest understanding is to kick the football into the opponent's goal. Whoever scores more goals wins.
"Haha, I see, it's so simple~"
After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed happily and began to show a trace of interest.
"Your Highness, let's each lead a team and see who can win."
Liu Jin was also a football addict and wanted to play football in person, so he smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao.
"Okay, I'm afraid you won't succeed, but I will definitely win~"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately agreed.
Soon, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao each brought more than a dozen people to their respective parties and put on tight clothes and trousers. The colors of the clothes and trousers were also unified.
The one on Liu Jin's side is white, and the one on Zhu Houzhao's side is red.
"Dang~dang~"
Soon, as the referee sounded the sound to start the game, the two sides started pecking each other.
Because neither party had played football before and neither had much experience, it was very chaotic at the beginning. A ball was surrounded by seven or eight people, and you were fighting for it.
But fortunately, because Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin are here, regardless of their identities, they are both very civilized and there is no phenomenon of hooligan football.
"Pass the ball to me~"
Zhu Houzhao quickly devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. He was the prince, and the players passed the ball to him as much as possible. Liu Jin also deliberately asked his people to give him some water first.
Soon, Zhu Houzhao got an opportunity. A pass fell in front of him very accurately, and he was like a wild horse running wild.
He continued to charge forward, and then very 'nimously' passed through several crew members defending behind him, forming a single sword attack.
"Come in~"
Looking at the huge goal in front of him with only one goalkeeper, Zhu Houzhao kicked it hard and the ball went in very easily.
"Haha, I scored a goal, I scored a goal~"
Zhu Houzhao was so excited when he scored for the first time. He was very happy and shouted excitedly while running.
"Old Liu, it's fun, this is fun~"
Zhu Houzhao came to Liu Jin's side and said with a smile.
The moment he scored the goal, he found that he really fell in love with football. It was so interesting and fun.
"Of course it's fun~"
"But wait, we will definitely win it back~"
Liu Jin smiled and nodded. When he started running on the playground, Liu Jin was almost exhausted. However, the more he played football, the more excited he became.
Soon, the game continued.
After allowing Zhu Houzhao to score a goal, Liu Jin decided to fight back.
Liu Jin quickly adjusted his tactics and set up the formation of later generations. He no longer blindly grabbed and acted randomly. The effect was naturally leverage. Soon, the control of football came to Liu Jin's side.
The football from Liu Jin's side was constantly being passed back and forth, which made the noisy Zhu Houzhao team seem a bit uncomfortable, and their physical strength was also consumed very quickly.
Not long after, Liu Jin charged and took the ball to attack Zhu Houzhao's goal.
"Quick~quick~"
"Stop Lao Liu~Stop Lao Liu~"
"Goalkeeper, guard for me~"
Zhu Houzhao kept roaring, and then rushed towards Liu Jin like a whirlwind.
Liu Jin feinted and passed the ball directly. There happened to be no one on the side of the player in the middle, and the goalkeeper was also a rookie, so he only stared at Liu Jin from the beginning.
Being swayed by Liu Jin, a member of Liu Jin's side easily scored a goal without even having time to defend.
"Haha~"
"Nice job~"
"I'll treat you to guests at Neptune Tower tonight~"
Liu Jin said happily to his players.
"Oh~"
"Wow~"
The players immediately screamed with excitement. Wanghailou is the most expensive restaurant in Tianjin. A casual meal costs dozens of taels of silver. They, the Maritime Academy, don't want to go there to eat.
"Brothers, with your hard work, we kicked Liu Jin and the others down. I will also invite you to Wanghai Tower tonight~"
After the score was equalized, Zhu Houzhao immediately pouted and said to his team members.
"Your Highness, you are mighty and domineering~"
"Wow~"
When Zhu Houzhao's players heard this, they immediately cheered happily.
The next game will be even more exciting. With the excitement of delicious food, we will work even harder when it comes to football.
The noobs pecked each other, going back and forth among themselves.
Because they are all dishonest, there is no rules at all in the way the ball is played.
However, the players from both sides quickly integrated into it, and each of them devoted themselves wholeheartedly to it, and instantly fell in love with this sport.
Especially Zhu Houzhao, who scored another goal and fell completely in love with him. He kept running up and down the court and yelling.
He dances with joy when he scores a goal, and gets angry and upset when he loses the ball.
At the same time, as the two teams were playing football, students from Tianjin Maritime University were soon attracted to watch. Gradually, hundreds of people gathered around the football field to watch.
Everyone showed a strong interest in this new football sport. After understanding the situation and knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and their big boss Liu Jin were on board, they became even more interested in watching it.
Slowly, everyone fell into the football. As the football bounced back and forth, everyone kept shouting.
The charm of football is undoubted~
People who fall in love with it can be crazy and fascinated by it.
A simple stadium, simple football, and a bunch of noobs, but it gave the game a World Cup feel.
There was a back and forth between the two sides. The goal was relatively large, and the footballs were kicked in one after another. In the blink of an eye, the score between the two sides was five to five.
Such a huge score is very rare to see in later football matches, but it has happened now.
The main reason is that football is different from the football of later generations.
The improvised football has very weak elasticity, which makes it very convenient for dribbling and passing. Coupled with the fact that the ball is scrambled here and there, it is easy to score goals as long as there is a chance.
Of course, it is also beneficial for both sides to score more goals.
The first is that both players were very excited and fell in love with this sport instantly, especially Zhu Houzhao, this energetic monster. He played the whole game and kept running around without any signs of lack of energy.
His roar can be heard all over the world from time to time.
This shows his love for football.
The second thing is that people watching the ball are also very excited. Scores are scored from time to time, which looks much better. If there is no goal after watching for half an hour, it will be boring if the ball keeps being passed around.
.
"Well, it seems we can build a football stadium here in Tianjin~"
Liu Jin, who was resting after the game, looked at the hundreds of people watching with interest around the stadium, and thought about it and decided that he could start building the stadium.
