Several Taishi chairs were moved in, and Zhu Houzhao sat on the sidelines. When he saw Li Ying and Jin Yiwei entering the court, he couldn't help but ask: "The clothes of both Cuju and Cuju are different. It's obvious. Which side are Li Sanlang and the others?"
Wang Yuan explained: "Li Sanlang is the chief judge, and the rest of the Jinyi guards are side judges."
"There are several judges, and you have so many rules for Cuju." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Wang Yuan continued to act as the commentator: "At this moment, the two sides are lined up and guessing the copper coins. The team that guesses correctly will kick off first. The game is divided into two games, and the venue will be switched after one game to ensure the fairness of the game."
Zhu Houzhao asked: "Can the two goalkeepers only guard the goal?"
Wang Yuan pointed in the direction of the goal and said: "Your Majesty, look at the box drawn with lime in front of the goal. The inside of the box is the penalty area. The goalkeeper can touch the ball at will in this area. But if it goes out of the penalty area, the goalkeeper is not allowed to use his hands.
and arm contact."
"In other words, the goalkeeper can also run around at will?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
"That's true," Wang Yuan said. "Except for the goalkeeper, other players are not allowed to touch the ball with their arms. At worst, they will lose the ball rights, and at worst, they will be punished with penalty kicks and free kicks."
Zhu Houzhao asked again: "What are penalty kicks and free kicks?"
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "A penalty kick means placing the football anywhere in the penalty area. The penalty kicker can only guard the goalkeeper, and the penalty kicker sends one person to hit the ball. A free kick is also a penalty kick. If it is a free kick from the attacking team,
The defender can form a human wall to resist, but the wall must be more than eight steps (9.6 meters) away from the ball, unless they have reached the goal line."
The main players on both sides of the court were all gangsters and gangsters in the past. Some of them were pretty good at playing ball. They were able to wrap, dribble, and pick the ball in a variety of ways. But in this kind of game, it seemed too redundant.
Moreover, they especially like to play highball and don't bother running around with the football on the ground.
This is a habit brought about by the inherent gameplay, because since the Tang Dynasty, the goals of Cuju have been set high in the sky and not close to the ground at all.
Zhu Houzhao felt it was uninteresting at first and was far less interesting than other gameplays, but gradually he found that it was extremely confrontational and the highlight was the fierce competition between players from both sides.
"This method is very good!" Zhu Houzhao praised.
There were football competitions in the Song Dynasty, with double-goal and multi-goal games. At first, each team had twelve players, and the competition was extremely fierce. Except that the goals were set high in the sky, it was very similar to modern football.
But gradually, each team increased to sixteen people, the rules became more stringent, and the intensity of the game dropped greatly. It mainly showed the players' personal skills, and teamwork became a supporting role. Sometimes one person can play for several minutes.
In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the intensity of football matches increased, but the rules were generally similar to those of the reformed Song Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao has watched football games before, but he has never seen such a fierce competition.
"Hush!"
The linesman blew his whistle to indicate a foul on the defensive team and gave him a yellow card.
Wang Yuan explained: "A yellow card is a warning. If a yellow card is received, the player will be sent off. The person who committed the offense just now was a defender of the defensive team. He maliciously dragged the offensive team down from behind, so he was fined.
A free kick."
The wall has been formed, and the penalty kick player takes a running start and hoists the ball to the corner of the goal with great accuracy.
It's a pity that although his angle was accurate and his technique was good, he didn't know how to spin the arc, so the goalkeeper jumped up high to pick the ball off.
No way, there was no goalkeeper in competitive football games in the Ming Dynasty, and they did not practice shooting techniques against goalkeepers. They mainly practiced fancy skills and accuracy in shooting, after all, the goal hung high in the sky.
The game continued, with football playing like volleyball, various high passes and high shots, the ball flying around, and ground balls rarely seen.
These guys like to show off their skills very much. At this time, one of them was pressed, but he did not choose to dodge with the ball. Instead, he jumped the ball with his heels. Then he quickly went behind the opponent and caught the ball with his head. After stopping the ball, he did not
Stop, obviously you can pass the ball directly, but you have to use a difficult mandarin duck turn (scorpion tail swing).
Unfortunately, he didn't turn out and was intercepted by someone behind him.
After playing and playing, someone finally got the idea. He gave up the fancy skills and relied only on speed and dribbling skills. He went directly from the midfield and passed several people in the blink of an eye. He suddenly passed the ball back and his teammate lobbed the ball into the penalty area.
, another striker scored with a header.
"nice shot!"
Wang Yuan couldn't help but clapped his hands in admiration. He stood up and walked to the sidelines and shouted: "This is how we play! What did you play before? The court is like a battlefield. No matter how good your personal skills are, it is better to form a formation and cooperate and simply charge with one knife and one gun!"
The winner of this football match will collectively score one point!"
One point for credit?
The playing styles of both sides changed instantly, and the fool continued to play tricks. Only the one who can score the ball is considered a hero!
The competition became more intense, and the passing and shooting became more direct. Although it was not so fancy, it was so enjoyable for Zhu Houzhao that he wished he could play a few kicks himself.
At the end of the game, Zhu Houzhao was gearing up and said to Wang Yuan with a smile: "I'll give it a try too."
Qian Ning quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you have just recovered from your illness, so don't work too hard."
When Wang Yuan heard that the emperor had just recovered from his illness, he quickly advised: "Your Majesty, why not play another day? It's not too early today."
Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy and asked Wang Yuan with a sneer: "Wang Erlang, do you know how Emperor Taizu punished people who played Cuju in the military camp?"
"Taizu forbids playing football in the military camp?" Wang Yuan really didn't know.
Zhu Houzhao threatened: "Behead your feet!"
In the Han Dynasty, Cuju was played in the military, and it was used to practice military formations and promote coordination. However, since the late Song Dynasty, Cuju has been reduced to a performance, and the same is true for competitive Cuju. Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow this game to appear in the army.
As Zhu Houzhao said, if you play football in the army, you will have your feet chopped off.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "If you let me play a game, I will cancel this ban!"
Wang Yuan was speechless for a moment, this emperor always liked to do business.
Qian Ning was also speechless. Even ten cows couldn't get back what the emperor's father had decided.
Wang Yuan called Li Ying over, and Li Ying immediately ran to inform the players not to compete with the emperor for the football.
So it was all nonsense. Zhu Houzhao came on the field with great enthusiasm, but it turned into a personal performance. As soon as his teammates got the ball, they passed it to him, and the opponents tried to avoid it. When he saw the kick shot out, the goalkeeper was so frightened that he fell down with his head in his hands.
"Stop kicking, it's boring!"
Before Zhu Houzhao even broke a sweat, he kicked the ball aside and came back angrily: "Wang Erlang, you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Wang Yuan said: "Your Majesty is prone to illness in winter and should not exercise strenuously. If Your Majesty wants to play football, I dare not stop him, but I also dare not let His Majesty sweat in winter."
Zhu Houzhao was also a person who knew what was good and what was wrong. Historically, he wanted to go on a military expedition in person even though he was sick. Wu Jie, the imperial doctor, was annoyed by his advice, so he just sent someone to take Wu Jie away without seeing him.
Of course, playing football is not as attractive as fighting in person, and Zhu Houzhao is still so stubborn at this time. He sat back on the Taishi chair and said to Wang Yuan: "Let them practice their football skills, and I will come back with you after the spring."
Let’s discuss!”
"Of course you can in spring," Wang Yuan said with a smile.
Zhu Houzhao was still angry and shouted: "Let them play another game!"
After getting familiar with this kind of gameplay, he played even more fiercely in the second game, with almost no fancy skills. But the scene of the rampage made Zhu Houzhao excited. He didn't like playing football before because the intensity of Cuju was not high, but now he can finally
In line with the emperor's wishes.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qian Ning reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to go home."
Zhu Houzhao pointed at Li Ying: "Follow me to the Leopard Room to train the team specifically for me!"
Li Ying was instantly overjoyed and knelt down and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty!"
Well, since you can't play football outside, let's play in the Leopard Room. There are many people in the Leopard Room, and countless teams can be formed, enough for the emperor to play football every day.
As the head coach of Baofang Cuju, Li Sanlang really has a tendency to develop towards Gao Qiu.
If the officials knew about it, they would definitely use Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to dissuade him.
Wang Yuan pulled Li Ying aside and warned: "Your Majesty is in poor health and often gets sick due to cold in winter. You have to be careful. If something goes wrong, your life may be in danger!"
Li Ying was instantly doused with cold water. His joy completely disappeared and was replaced by anxiety. He nodded and said, "I will pay attention."
