Su Jin saw this kind of ancient football for the first time during a school break. Later, people said that the birthplace of football is China, but Su Jin always doesn't believe it because the men's football's stinky feet are world-renowned and such a country with such poor skills. It's the birthplace. Wouldn't this make people laugh at the big steel teeth of the world?

But later Su Jin also figured it out. This is the same reason that gunpowder was invented by the Chinese, but the Chinese used it to make firecrackers and fireworks, while others used it to make guns, bullets and explosives.

When Su Jin first saw the No. 16 movement in the Song Dynasty, he was really shocked; a small Cuju match between Jiayitang and Jiaertang on the small lawn behind Minglun Hall made Su Jin fascinated by watching Drunk; it’s so enjoyable to watch. The two sides each have [-] people divided into various positions, named ball head, rocker ball, front pinch, head pinch, left pole net, right pole net, scattered standing, etc., each wearing red and blue shirts respectively Standing in the middle of the lawns at both ends, a goal with a large ring on the club face two feet high is called Merry Eye.

When kicking the ball, the two sides grab the ball by touching the ball with the head, shoulders, back, abdomen, knees, feet and other parts to keep the ball from falling. .

Seeing this style of play for the first time, Su Jin felt a bit itch for later generations. He is also a football player of the university team. Su Jin is not tall and pure and was selected because of his skills, so he is quite confident in his skills. Hu Xiaoming was so elated that even the teacher stopped to watch his heart beating.

The Great Song Dynasty had a special preference for Cuju from the bottom up. It is rumored that Grandfather Taizong used to kick a few kicks in the palace garden with Taizong Guangyi, Zhao Pu and others when they had nothing to do. It will be rewarded by the emperor. With such an effect, one can imagine how strong the atmosphere of the national Cuju competition in the Song Dynasty should be.

Later, because I was too obsessed with Cuju, it gradually became a ladder to become an official. For example, I played football and became the Minister of National Defense. Being able to join the Sports Association and become an official has the same effect.

The next day when Su Jin was moved, he bought a leather ball in Yingtian Mansion and came back. The ball was sewn beautifully by blowing air from a cow bladder, and the outer bag was sewn layer by layer with cooked cowhide. Su Jin painted it red with cinnabar The appearance of the Fire Meteor, every time after class, counts two small sticks in the open space on the side of Minglun Hall to play the action of dribbling the ball and vigorously pumping the SHE to get addicted; A poor boy who is too embarrassed to play.

A few days later, there were 30 people in the Bing Ding Wu San School who came to invite Su Jin to play with their feet after class. Gradually, two teams formed the appearance of confrontation, and more and more people watched; Some methods of football in the later generations were instilled in the crowd and divided into two goals. Although it is still two feet high, the goal is much larger, and it is caught in a net when it falls to the ground so that it can be picked up after scoring.

Since the Cuju game in the Song Dynasty was originally a lot of 32-person confrontation or a dozen-person confrontation, or two-person competitions with various tricks, such as "white fight" with skills such as kicking, kicking, kicking, and holding the ball, or a performance-like fight by one person. In short, Ju is ever-changing and has different interests.

Su Jin changed it to 20 people facing each other and attacking the goal, and from the original ball not being allowed to land, to being able to dribble along the grass and pass the ball to attack the goal in a coordinated way, which weakened the acrobatics a lot and replaced it with nervous excitement. Competitive.

This change quickly became popular from the number of onlookers. It turned out that when the two Cuju games were held at the same time, it was always Jiatang's fancy juggling moves that attracted more than a hundred people to watch. There are very few people with this new style of kick that can make the ball hit the ground; but when everyone gradually understands that this style of play by Su Jin and others is more intense and exciting, the number of people gradually increases; gradually, the number of people on the pitch in Jiatang There were not many, but the courtside of Su Jin and others was crowded with people.

For a while, this style of kicking became popular in the academy, except for what the academics were talking about that day, Su Jin's scorpion wagging its tail was so handsome, Wei Songhe's mandarin duck abduction was so precise, Wu Hengxin's head hammer was so fierce Jiatang's Cuju team couldn't sit still, the limelight was completely overshadowed by a bunch of impoverished adults, and they couldn't bear it no matter what.

This day at noon, Su Jin was surrounded by a large group of people when he walked out of the restaurant wiping the greasy mouth and hiccupping.

Su Jin saw that it was the group of football players from Jiatang, all of them were tall and strong; more than a dozen of them were tall, handsome and rich from the maintenance club, and the leader was the white and handsome president of the maintenance club. The son of Shangshu.

Su Jin grinned and said, "Brothers, when did you change your career to robbery? If you have two food tickets, take them."

"Who is joking with you? We want to challenge you." The president of the maintenance committee shouted.

"What's the challenge?" Su Jin blinked innocently.

"Bicuju, I saw that you played very lively all day long and fooled so many people to watch our 'Red Horse' team not convinced and want to compete with you."

"No comparison!" Su Jin turned and left.

Those people rolled their eyes, and there were people like this who pretended to be cowardly when they challenged them face to face.

"If you're afraid, just write a confession and hang it on the notice board of the academy. After that, don't play your kind of bullshit cuju in the academy." One person said suspiciously behind Su Jin.

Su Jin heard the voice of his old acquaintance, Zhu Tianshun, and turned to stare at him. Zhu Tianshun felt a little psychological pressure on Su Jin, but at this moment, he would be courageous and not afraid of all the officials and eunuchs around him.

"Mr. Zhu, be careful what you say. There are many ways to play cuju, as long as you have fun If you only pay attention to skills and ignore the spirit, you will be inferior." Su Jin casually fabricated the words of the great grandfather, there is no proof that Zhao Kuangyin has been dead for decades, and he will not climb out of the coffin to blame himself for the crime of false oral instructions .

"No one can fight you with your mouth, don't you just use your mouth?" Zhang Ye, the president of the maintenance club, sneered. He is a ball head and the president of the maintenance club. They are all superior to others, so they have a strong sense of superiority; because of this, he can't stand his team playing football, but no one applauds him. He plays football to show off his skills. If you wink at a blind man, there's no guarantee you won't be scolded as a scumbag.

Su Jin said: "How do you compare the different playing styles? Just like what Zhu Yanei said, we kicked the grass roots away, but you are spotless. It's not a game at all."

"Telling you to kick our kind of cuju is because you don't have the ability, so I will accommodate you and compete according to your rules."

Su Jin smiled and said, "No comparison."

The maintenance president, Gao Shuaifu, Zhang Ye frowned and said, "Why don't you compare?"

Su Jin said: "According to your style of play, we are naturally no match, but according to our method, if you lose, some people will say that we win, and some people will say that the victory is not good. Rather than this, it is better to play separately and be quiet. .”

President Gao Shuaifu sneered and said: "As far as your kicking method can land, just find any three-year-old kid who will kick you. Don't think that you have the upper hand and still kick you in disgrace."

Everyone laughed loudly and didn't take Su Jin's gang seriously at all.

Su Jin thought for a while and said, "Since you are so confident and want to beat us so much, then kick it anyway."

When everyone saw that Su Jin had been tricked by the general, they all showed complacency. This time, they have to teach these poor people a lesson. They also learn how to play cuju. This time, if you don’t kick you into gourds, you will be called Jiatang’s yamen corps’ red horses in vain. 'Thinking of the gang of poor turtles being played around by me on the court, the tall, rich and handsome of the 'Red Horse' team felt as sure and comfortable as if they drank iced sour plum soup.
