Chapter 272 Football 2
Early the next morning, Yue Shan brought the footballs and rugby balls he had made to the military academy.First, I found someone to measure and draw lines on the playground to create a football field. As for the lawn...not yet.The goal is also relatively simple, with a wooden frame and fishing nets.

The rugby field has also been completed, right next to the football field.

Others thought he had come up with some new tricks to trick people.The instructors looked excited, while the students were mournful.

After the stadium was set up, Yue Shan asked Su Dingfang to draw [-] people with strong skills and quick minds from Baiqisi and Jiangmen respectively to gather.

Coincidentally, both Jing Hengyan and Xi Junmai were among them.He didn't bother, and directly appointed the two to be the team captains.

After the arrangement, he said his purpose.

"Isn't it boring to just study every day besides training? I'm not an unreasonable person. I'm going to teach you a brand new game today." Yue Shan hooked the football with his toes, trying to pick it up, but the football flew away without giving face up.

Embarrassing him... But fortunately, he was thick-skinned and pretended to ignore it.

Liu Rengui took the initiative to run over to pick up the ball and handed it to him with winking eyes. Yue Shan nodded approvingly, the young man has a future.

"This thing is called football, and it was improved from Cuju." Yue Shan raised the ball in his hand and introduced: "His playing method is also very different from Cuju."

football?Cuju?New gameplay?Except for Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui, everyone else showed excited expressions.

The Tang Dynasty was the climax stage of the development of Cuju, and Chang'an at this time had already had this trend.People like Yuan Cong and Jiangmen lived in the capital and were also infected.

Both Su Dingfang and Liu Rengui live outside the capital, one is a special person who is under constant surveillance, and the other is from a poor family who can't even get enough to eat. Naturally, they have no time to pay attention to this aspect, so they don't know much about it.

"Dean, do you really want to teach us how to... football?" Jing Hengyan asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I've even arranged the venue, so how can there be a fake?" Yue Shan said.

"Oh!" Everyone couldn't help cheering when they heard the affirmative answer.

After they stopped, Yue Shan said: "I will first tell you the general rules of football, and then I will tell you the detailed rules."

"See this line? The football field is inside the line. Look at the line in the middle..."

Yue Shan told everyone about the scope of the football field, the left and right halves, the goal, the penalty area, the penalty area and their functions.Although it sounds a bit complicated, the ones chosen this time are those with more flexible brains, so there is no problem in understanding.

After the introduction, Yue Shan let them move freely to familiarize themselves with the venue, and then introduce the rules of the game after getting familiar with the venue.Lest they get confused by saying too much at once.

Liu Rengui, who had never paid attention to Cuju before, seemed to be very interested in football, and actively ran over to familiarize himself with various areas of the stadium.

On the contrary, Su Dingfang didn't seem to have much feeling for football, but became interested in another field next to the football field:
"Dean, what is that field next to it used for? It seems to be different from a football field." "That is a rugby field. A rugby ball is this oval ball. It looks more like a fruit called an olive, so I picked it for it." It's called rugby." Yue Shan introduced:

"It's just that the game of rugby is more brutal, and the collision of the body is particularly frequent and it is easy to be injured. Protective gear is needed. The protective gear is not ready yet, so I can't teach them for the time being."

"A lot of body collisions?" Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, and he became interested immediately, and asked, "Can the dean tell me how this football is played, and what kind of collision method it is."

"...The ball cannot be passed forward during the delivery process, but can only be passed horizontally or backwards. If you want to deliver the ball to the opponent's goal, you must hold the ball and run forward."

"The defensive side will send people over to grab the ball. They can hold, throw, grab, etc. to hinder the opponent. They can also use collisions, but they can only hit the opponent's shoulders. They cannot attack the chest, back, hands and feet, nor are they allowed to kick. Aggressive behavior such as tripping..."

Su Dingfang's eyes brightened the more he listened, and finally he couldn't help but said: "Okay, this is what men should play with. I don't know when the protective gear will be ready, I can't wait."

"It's really urgent. The protective gear must fit well. I will open a protective gear making workshop in the military academy. Anyone who wants to play rugby can order it. The first set is free." Yue Shan said.

"Still waiting?" Su Dingfang was disappointed, but immediately changed the subject: "This sport is too dangerous, so be careful, be careful. Can I choose two teams to participate first?"

"Okay, don't tell me I prepared it in the same way. After the protective gear workshop is built, some suitable soldiers will be selected for training just like today. When they are finished training, they can bring other people to play together." .” Yue Shan nodded.

"It couldn't be better. I'll help the dean choose people later, and then you can teach them directly." Su Dingfang said.

Seeing that he was interested in rugby, Yue Shan gave him the rules of the game that he wrote overnight for research.It would be best if he could really understand it, and save himself a lot of trouble.

Before I finished talking here, the person over there has already claimed to be familiar with the venue and can proceed to the next teaching.

So Yue Shan told them the rules of football.

What is absolutely not allowed to touch the ball with the hands of other people except the goalkeeper, what is offside, etc... I will give you a demonstration while explaining.

This is more troublesome, and it cannot be fully understood and remembered once or twice.However, Yue Shan didn't expect them to memorize it once. After explaining it twice, he asked these people to practice how to play and control the ball in groups.

Yesterday he asked the cobbler to make some footballs for temporary use, and today they just distributed them to everyone for practice.

Originally, Yue Shan thought that with the foundation of Cuju, it would be easier for them to master the method of ball control, but he soon discovered that this was not the case.These people are not much better than beginners.

After asking, I found out that Cuju is very different from football.

At this time, the outside of Cuju is a layer of skin, and the inside is filled with straw, kapok, etc., that is to say, it is solid.The difference in elasticity, weight and balls is huge.

Cuju needs to be volleyed vigorously to be knocked into the air, while football rolls away with a slight touch of the foot.They are used to Cuju, and they will not be used to it when they first come into contact with football.

Knowing what the problem is, Yue Shan is not in a hurry, let's practice first, and let's talk about the real problem when he has almost mastered the ball control.

After leaving all the training to Liu Rengui, Yue Shan took two footballs to the academy.

This thing can be played not only by military academies, but also by college students. Maybe there will be inter-school competitions in the future.
