Vol 2 Chapter 864: Crazy for the ball!

Tang people actually love to play football.
The reason why there are so many students who are good at playing football in the academy is inseparable from the big environment where the Chinese love to play football.
In the Tang Dynasty, I have to mention a traditional festival that has disappeared today-Hanshi Festival. It was one hundred and five days after the winter solstice and one or two days before the Ching Ming Festival. According to legend, it was to commemorate the Jiezitui who would rather be burned to death on the mountain than come out to receive a reward during the Spring and Autumn Period. According to tradition, a ban on fires was to be banned on this day, and only cold food was eaten. In the subsequent Qin, Han, and Sui dynasties, content such as sacrificial sweeping, outings, swings, and Cuju were added.
In the Tang Dynasty, the wind of "cold food Cuju" reached its peak, and it almost became the "legal day of kicking football." After sweeping the grave, if you didn't play football in the suburbs, it seemed like this day had never passed.
Wang Jian, a poet from Xuchang in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in a poem:
The residual powder of the makeup is not tomorrow, and there will always be Zhaoyang flowers and trees. The people in the cold food will fight for the white, and the library will first disperse and money.

This poem is highly cited in many ancient sports research articles. The "white hit" in the poem is a very popular non-goal kick in the Tang and Song Dynasties, where two or more people play in pairs. Bai Juyi, a native of Xinzheng, also left a song "Luoqiao Cold Food", describing the scene on the football field.
In addition, the works of famous poets such as Wang Wei, Li Bai, Liu Yuxi, and Wei Yingwu all mentioned cold food Cuju. Due to the wide development of "cold food Cuju" in the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu, who had been wandering his whole life, wrote a song "Ching Ming" in his later years, lamenting that "Ten years of Cuju will bring young children far away, and swing customs are the same for thousands of miles."
Du Fu was born in Gongyi and has been to Luoyang, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Hubei and other places, which shows that these places have the custom of cold food festival Cuju.
Tang people’s love of playing football is evident from this! It makes sense that so many young people who like to play football have been bred in such a big environment.
There are many football players in the Tang Dynasty, although they are not as famous as the Song Dynasty. The first is Yang Jing and Wu Chongxun, both of them are the guests of Tang Zhongzong's son, Prince Jiemin (mǐn) Prince Li Chongjun.
It was also in the football atmosphere that the Tang dynasty opened that the Song dynasty emerged with outstanding personal skills such as Gao Yu and Liu Sanfu.
"Beep~!"
Li Zexuan blew a whistle and signaled the start of the game with a hand signal. Li Chengqian had the right to kick-off. Seeing that there were so many players on the other side, Li Tai knew that with his own strength, he would definitely not be able to make a breakthrough single-handedly. The football passed to the foot of Li Chengqian, who was only ten steps away from him in the front left, and then quickly ran forward to meet it.
After experiencing the previous teachings of Li Zexuan, Li Tai already knew that in a football match, he was brave for a while. This is an eleven-player game. It is difficult to laugh at the end by relying solely on individual recklessness.
Li Chengqian didn't dare to be careless after receiving the ball, because Cheng Chumo was rushing towards him, at that speed, as long as he dared to dribble a few steps, Cheng Chumo could definitely catch up and break his ball!
On the court, there are no princes and ministers, Cheng Chumo will never be polite to him!
As a royal player, Li Chengqian had the best and most exquisite ball to play since he was a child. He also loved to play football since he was a child. Therefore, his basic skills are fairly solid. I saw that he raised his eyes to see the direction and made a cross pass. To the feet of Li Huairen!
This is the method they have just developed to deal with players with strong personal ability like Cheng Chumo, which is to pass the ball continuously! This tactic, which emphasizes absolute possession, is similar to the tiki-taka tactic used by modern Guardiola during his coaching in Barcelona! But tactics are not the decisive factor for the outcome of the game. The key depends on whether the players cooperate with each other tacitly!
"Huairen! Catch the ball~!"
After kicking for so long, the blood on Li Chengqian's body has already boiled. At this moment, his voice has become louder without the influence of the previous gentleman prince!
That's right, among the group of people who just joined, there happened to be Li Huairen, who is the best man, and Li Xiaogong, as the master of martial arts, his son would not be too bad, at least much better than ordinary people.
There is no problem with Li Chengqian’s prediction of the football position. He even left a small margin for Li Huairen. However, Li Huairen has just played and experienced this kind of formal football match for the first time. The reactions of various parts of his body are a little bit unable to keep up with the rhythm. Hearing Li Chengqian calling him, he still subconsciously paused. After such a pause, the distance between him and the football has become a bit far away, and it is too late to chase forward, because Sun Zifan has already taken the opportunity to get close to the football.
⊙o⊙) Wow! The Prince's ball was robbed!"
"This little guy reacted so fast!"
(Now that Sun Zifan and Li Tai have successfully lost weight, no one calls them little fat guys anymore)
"Good shot~!"
"This should be regarded as a pass error by the prince? What a pity!"
"Fart, this is obviously the person who froze for a while, and did not keep up with the passing of His Royal Highness! Will you watch the ball? If not, don't talk nonsense!"
Onlookers outside the court, after seeing Sun Tzufan steal the football, they exclaimed, sighed and sighed, and yelled at them, but it was not lively anyway.
These people didn't have the opportunity to play in person and compete with Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the country, so they could only watch the excitement next to them.
The enthusiasm here is constantly attracting students who passed by after eating. After a while, there were already a circle of people on the playground, and even some gentlemen from Yanhuang Academy. Now they have just finished their exams and have time to come out. Look at the excitement.
""Pretty~! Zifan, send it to me! "
Seeing Sun Tzufan steal the football, Cheng Chu silently waved to the latter and shouted at the same time.
Needless to say, Sun Tzufan knew that Cheng Chumo was the most important scorer of their team. After he grabbed the ball, he spotted Cheng Chumo's position without hesitation, and passed a grounder!
The distance between him and Cheng Chumo is only three feet away. With such a short distance, of course, passing the ground ball is more secure and effective!
I saw the football drew a straight straight line on the grass and was about to roll to Cheng Chumo's feet. Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the football's path, and this steady pass was intercepted!
"Wow!"
There was an uproar off the court!
"It's Han Wang!"
"Fast speed!"
"I heard that the King of Han will use martial arts~EbookFREE.me~ he used martial arts, right?"
"Fart! What do you know? Han Wang relies entirely on his own body's reaction. If you use martial arts, do you think Shan Chang, a big master, will not be able to tell?"
"Yes! Can you be more powerful than Shanchang?"
"This is a beautiful shot! His Royal Highness Han Wang is great!"
"Look! His Royal Highness is about to counterattack! This...single-handedly! He is going to break through the opponent's defenses alone!"
The people watching from the outside of the field have been completely affected by the every move of the players on the field. They cheered, roared, and sighed, so that the academy under the setting sun was once again full of vigorous vitality at night!
