Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1184
Cheng Yaojin's team kept beating, and the wooden ball leaped back and forth on the field, but they just didn't score.

Cheng Yaojin watched secretly anxiously.

"Just say they are stupid or not, you say they are stupid or not, why can't they hit it with just such a ball?"

"Oh, the old man is so angry, why are you so stupid."

"........."

Seeing that the polo has not been scored, Cheng Yaojin stomped his feet anxiously. His current mood is similar to that of those people in later generations watching football. Sudden death.

Qin Tian watched from the side, but he was relatively calm.

Playing polo is relatively dangerous, and there are many things to test, such as horse skills, ball skills, etc., all of which must be taken into consideration.

In comparison, polo is a very noble game, only the rich and powerful can afford it, and ordinary people simply don't have the strength to play it.

Because playing polo requires horses, and only when there are horses can this game be played.

In comparison, football is for the whole people.

When Qin Tian saw these people playing polo, he suddenly wanted to make football or cuju. Cuju is relatively simple. For football, you need cowhide. You can do it, but it takes a lot of work. The cost of making football is not low.

However, although this thing can be made, it is not easy to play with it.

First, the shoes of people in the Tang Dynasty are not convenient for kicking Cuju, and their clothes are not fast enough.

Moreover, Cuju is a bit too literary and artistic. Although it is exciting and fun, people in the Tang Dynasty liked horses, so it is a bit troublesome to promote it.

So if you really want to get out Cuju, shoes, clothes, etc., you have to get it out.

But now Qin Tian is not in the mood to do these things, playing polo is not bad in his opinion.

Watching these people play polo, Qin Tian has been thinking back and forth a lot in his heart.

"Qin Tian, ​​what do you think of my team?"

After Cheng Yaojin looked at it for a while, he looked at Qin Tian and asked, Qin Tian smiled: "Everyone in Lu Guogong's team is not bad."

"Of course, they are all carefully selected by me."

Qin Tian nodded: "Everyone's strength is good, but they lack cooperation. They play their own games, so naturally it's difficult to hit the ball into the goal. It's easy to train them. Just train them to play cooperatively. Ability is enough, it’s a bit like arranging troops on the battlefield, it’s simple and simple.”

The situation of this team, Qin Tian saw the problem at a glance.

They played indiscriminately.

When playing football in later generations, each position has the name of each position and what the players are responsible for. Only when they play and cooperate in this way can they be more efficient.

After Qin Tian said this, Cheng Yaojin suddenly felt that it made sense.

"Then how do you say we should fight?"

"First of all, there must be someone who is responsible for scoring goals, and then there must be someone to play support..."

Qin Tian muttered to Cheng Yaojin about it, and then he talked about some playing strategies. Cheng Yaojin is also a figure who leads the army in battle. Although he is not particularly proficient in the art of war and formation, he is definitely not bad.

When Cheng Yaojin said this, he immediately understood.

The two discussed in this way, and then guided the players. After they were familiar with their respective positions and responsibilities, Qin Tian finally left.

Now, Qin Tian has said everything that needs to be said, and the next thing they have to do is to get in touch with each other.

After talking to Cheng Yaojin, Qin Tian left Duke Lu's mansion and went directly to the East Palace.

As the prince's teacher, after he finished the morning court, if there were lessons for him, he would go to the East Palace to teach Li Chengqian.

Just had it today.

When Qin Tian came to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was playing polo with his team.

Polo, an aristocratic sport, was very popular throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the reason why it became popular was naturally because the people above liked it.

Li Shimin likes polo very much, and so does Li Chengqian. Many people in Datang like polo.

Li Shimin likes it, and the people below must follow suit.

Li Chengqian's golf skills are not bad, he held the reins in one hand, and kept beating the club with the other, but Qin Tian didn't stop him.

It is true that playing polo is a bit unprofessional, but it can be regarded as a sport, it can be regarded as an adjustment of life, as long as it is not excessively addicted to it, Qin Tian thinks it is okay.

He watched from the side, and Li Chengqian was sweating profusely after playing.

After playing like this for a while, Li Chengqian finally stopped.

"Mr. Qin, are you here?"

Li Chengqian wiped the sweat from his face, feeling a little excited. A good exercise can make people feel happy, so sometimes it is better to combine work and rest.

"Well, it's early. It seems that His Royal Highness has enough exercise today."

"Isn't there going to be a polo match soon? I think I'll bring my people to play this year too. What do you think, sir?"

"His Royal Highness wants to play, naturally there is no problem."

Li Chengqian smiled: "Sir, what do you think of my team's strength?"

Li Chengqian knew that Qin Tian was very good at playing polo. Although he didn't know Qin Tian's situation, he felt that Qin Tian should also be very good. In his feeling, there was nothing that Qin Tian couldn't do.

"His Royal Highness's team is not bad."

In comparison, Li Chengqian's team is stronger than Cheng Yaojin's team, but if Cheng Yaojin's team does what he says, it will definitely be better than Li Chengqian's.

But Qin Tian didn't intend to coach Li Chengqian's team.

It's one thing for Li Chengqian to like playing polo, but he doesn't want Li Chengqian to indulge in it. Therefore, it is obviously necessary for him to let Li Chengqian play polo be frustrated.

In many things, if a person keeps losing, he obviously has no passion to continue playing, and winning makes people want to continue playing.

Many people say that being invincible is lonely, but many people still want to be invincible, but when he has been invincible, he will not be addicted to it.

Of course, this only applies to most things in the world, not all.

Some people become more courageous as they get frustrated, but Li Chengqian is definitely not.

He is the prince of Tang Dynasty, he has many things, he can't waste too much time on it, if he loses, he will definitely not indulge in it.

"If you say that, sir, then I have confidence in the next competition. You don't know, there are many people participating in the polo competition this year. Tubo sent envoys, and they said they also want to compete with us. , we must not lose."
