Chapter 56 Yang Fan's Football Team
The entrances and exits of houses in the Song Dynasty were similar to those of modern rooms and living rooms, but there were some differences in layout, and the entrance refers to the distance between longitudinal walls.
The Song people emphasized Fangzhengyang's houses, with houses facing north and south. There were about two more rooms in and out of the north than in the south. The purpose was to sandwich the owner's main room in the middle so that it would not be cold in winter.
The three-in and three-out house purchased by Yang Fan is decorated with sandalwood, and has a very good taste. The overall layout is the word "美". There are three rows of houses, six houses and three main halls, and two vertical corridors on the left and right sides run through three yards, namely rockery, pool and garden.
The original owner was convicted and his family was eager to sell the house to cash out, so he had a complete range of furniture and daily necessities, so there was no need to buy them separately. He even left behind the four treasures of the study in the official study, thousands of books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which Yang Fan could use to learn and increase his knowledge when he was fine.
For Yang Fan, although he spent 10,000 yuan in agency fees, it would be great to be able to enjoy the living benefits of a fourth-rank official residence.
Of course, the most important thing is that this house is only separated from the mansion of King Rui Zhao Ji. Yang Fan can observe Zhao Ji's movements at any time, which is very convenient for him to get close to Zhao Ji.
Arou liked this house very much, so she found the kitchen immediately, then bought vegetables and cooked, preparing to celebrate Yang Fan's move to a new home.
Yang Fan chose a main room in the center as the living room, and he took out the football and the included breathing tools from his backpack separately.
This football will be the magic weapon that Yang Fan used to lure and approach Zhao Ji. He has already formulated a plan in his mind and will be implemented soon.
Yang Fan's mobile phone was also in his backpack. In the days when he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he had already exhausted the battery of his mobile phone. Yang Fan had been hoping that one day his mobile phone would receive the signal, so he did not discard it.
When Yang Fan saw his cell phone, he suddenly had an idea. It would be great if he could charge his cell phone. Because Yang Fan recently found that his baton was out of power, and in the future, he encountered an emergency and lost a high-voltage electric shock function, and he would have to find a way to charge.
There were naturally no power stations in the Song Dynasty. Yang Fan also thought of making a simple generator himself, but the required parts were not easy to make, and he didn't have time to tinker with that thing now.
It seems that potatoes can generate electricity!
Yang Fan suddenly had an inspiration and thought of the easiest way to obtain electricity.
The voltage and current of a potato are very small, but if you prepare hundreds of potatoes to form a serial-parallel circuit, you can get the lowest charging voltage for your mobile phone and baton.
Yang Fan immediately had an idea, but potatoes were easy to deal with, and the copper and silver wire needed would take some extra effort to make them.
With direction, the rest will be easier.
Yang Fan was not in a hurry and played the football all over and came to the yard to start practicing.
Since Zhao Ji loves Cuju, he must have high requirements for football skills.
If Yang Fan wants to attract Zhao Ji's attention, his football skills must be better than others, at least he must surpass Gao Qiu, so that he can have the opportunity to enter the Rui Palace and become Zhao Ji's confidant.
The balls in the Song Dynasty were relatively small, and the rules of Cuju matches were also very different from those in later generations of football matches.
But Yang Fan is not afraid, he has confidence. Because Zhao Ji is a person who likes to seek novel things, Yang Fan is confident that he will definitely attract him by presenting modern football to Zhao Ji.
This is the first step. Once Zhao Ji's attention is successfully attracted, he will inevitably be excluded and challenged by Cuju masters around Zhao Ji. Maybe Gao Qiu will appear in the middle.
The Water Margin writes Gao Qiu very stupid and stupid, but Yang Fan knows that the real Gao Qiu in history, as a minor official of Su Shi, is not an ordinary person like a secretary. I would like to ask a person who has been firmly in the position of Supreme Military Commander and Taiwei for twenty-five years, which is a miracle in the officialdom, which shows that Gao Qiu is well versed in the way of being an official and is a powerful character.
Yang Fan despises Gao Qiu strategically, but must pay attention to Gao Qiu in tactical terms, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted and nothing will be achieved.
Therefore, Yang Fan calculated Gao Qiu's factors from the beginning of the plan.
In Water Margin, Gao Qiu's ball skills are amazing. In actual history books, Gao Qiu's skills are not top-notch, and there are many people who are better than him.
In Yang Fan's eyes, with Gao Qiu's football skills, it is probably the case that the Chinese team is now stand out. But in the Song Dynasty, it was not his turn to be the "first person in Cuju".
According to the history of the Song Dynasty, the Prime Minister Ding Wei and Li Bangyan of the Northern Song Dynasty were both masters of football, with their skills above Gao Qiu. There was also a scholar named Liu Sanfu, who was even more skilled in football. He was known as the soccer master of the Song Dynasty and Maradona in the twelfth century.
There is not much time left before Zhao Ji won the 195th century. Yang Fan has no energy or time to practice becoming a Cuju master like Liu Sanfu. He just needs to ensure that he surpasses Gao Qiu in front of Zhao Ji.
Yang Fan went out to buy a basket of balls on the street. The balls were already very exquisitely made. They were sewn with cattle and sheep bladders, and were filled with gas. The volume was much smaller than that of modern standard football, and only the size of a cantaloupe.
In Yang Fan's era, this kind of ball was played by children, but for the sake of future prospects, Yang Fan still trained patiently.
There are two ways to play the Song people's kick ball. One is to "build the ball", which is for confrontation. A large goal will be erected in the middle of the stadium, about three meters high and one meter wide. A net is tied with ribbons, leaving only a mesh about a foot square, called "** Eye". Both sides of the game sent twelve (or sixteen people) respectively, with jerseys of different colors, standing on both sides of the goal, forming a "left and left army" confrontation. Both the left and right army have "ball head", "slip ball", "right and head", "left rod net", "right rod net", "sanli" and other roles. Each player stands in different positions according to his or her role and undertakes different tasks. Each game also has "deployment correction", that is, the referee.
One is "fresh play", without a goal, the two teams send the same number of players to perform on the court, taking turns to push the ball with their heads, shoulders, backs, knees, feet and other body parts. It is absolutely not allowed to use their hands to make various difficult moves, and the ball does not fall to the ground. The referee scores separately, and those with higher skills win.
Obviously, "White Dance" emphasizes skill and ornamentality, which is somewhat similar to modern football.
Yang Fan judged that if he wanted to beat Gao Qiu, he had to work hard on "free play". Fortunately, Yang Fan liked to play football on weekdays and had some foundation in various footballs. In addition, the Song people's ball was light and small, so it was more flexible and easy to control.
Yang Fan incorporated the modern football technique into the "white-kick" Cuju in the Song Dynasty. It has beautiful postures and flexible movements, and keeps the ball from landing for a long time.
Arou prepared the meal and came over to ask Yang Fan to have a meal.
Cuju in the Song Dynasty was a national sport and was popular in the court and countryside. In the city and countryside, men, women, and young people could play. Arou also played it on weekdays, so when she saw Yang Fan's superb ball control skills, she immediately jumped and applauded.
Yang Fan practiced for half an hour before stopping. Arou was very good at taking care of people. She immediately prepared a towel and basin to make water, served Yang Fan to clean her sweat, and massaged her shoulders. The force was just right, which made Yang Fan's fatigue wipe away.
The food made by Arou is neither salty nor light, which is exactly in line with Yang Fan's taste.
At the dinner table, Yang Fan tasted Arou's cooking and saw that they were all steamed and stewed dishes, so he suggested: "It would be great if there was a stir-fry!"
Arou said: "Young Master also knows how to cook. Arou just heard from the lady that she has never seen how the chef cooks. I heard that there are a lot of cooks."
The Song Dynasty was an era when the way of cooking in China was just emerging, but it was not popular because the spices needed for cooking were very rare and were not available in the Song Dynasty. They could only be imported from Southeast Asia, with a price of gold, which ordinary people could not afford.
Yang Fan said: "I'll get some spices in a few days and make a stir-fry for you to try."
Arou said in surprise: "Young master can still cook?"
Yang Fan smiled and nodded. He usually cooked and cooked according to the recipe. After a long time, he became a kitchen master.
After the meal, Yang Fan continued to practice football, while A Rou began to clean the entire courtyard and assumed the responsibility of taking care of Yang Fan's daily life.
On the second day, Yang Fan went out again and found some players who made a living by performing Cuju on the street, and then spent money to hire them to form a team.
Since the founding of Taizu, the Song Dynasty established an organization dedicated to managing Cuju, called Fengyun Club, similar to the modern football association.
Fengyun Club's work includes developing members, teaching, discussing football skills, establishing association charters, formulating Cuju rules and etiquette, assessing player technical levels, organizing football matches and performances, etc. It is an autonomous organization of Cuju. The general manager is to "supervise and deploy", which is equivalent to the chairman of the Football Association, with "Chasing and Zheng" under it, "Society Department" assists the director, "Zhibin" is responsible for external reception, and "knowing to do things" is responsible for the event. The organization is sound and the division of labor is clear.
Yang Fan came to Fengyun Club headquarters, applied to establish a team, paid a certain membership fee and became a member, and had a special person to handle the relevant procedures.
Fengyun Club has various regulations and rules, which members must abide by. For example, members must pay attention to the "Ten Important": "Be kind, be faithful, be sincere, behave in absolutely, be gentle, be friends, respect, be humble, be courteous, and be spiritual"; obey the "Ten Forbidden Precepts": "Be careful of talking too much, gambling, fight, be right and wrong, be arrogant, be deceitful, be arrogant, be arrogant, be suspicious, be frivolous, be drunk and sexually."
In Yang Fan's view, these "Ten Important" and "Ten Prohibitions" can be copied as the discipline of today's Chinese football team and ensure that they enter the World Cup.
Yang Fan registered the team name, Long Zhan Tianxia, and is from Gyeonggi Province. He is temporarily classified as a Class B team and can only participate in Cuju competitions in Gyeonggi Province. If he can beat one Class A team or three Class B teams, he can be promoted to a Class A team and is qualified to participate in the National League. If he wins in the National League, he is qualified to become a Royal team, and he will be specially represented by the Song Dynasty court to perform for various countries, compete with teams of various countries to promote national prestige.
Yang Fan didn't think so long yet. He organized this team mainly to attract Zhao Ji's attention.
In the next few days, Yang Fan took all the players of the Long Zhantian team to start practicing, but it was not Song people's football and Baidao, but teaching them to play modern football.
Yang Fan calculated the time for Zhao Ji to go out, and deliberately took the team to practice football near Zhao Ji's route. Seeing Zhao Ji's sedan chair passing by, Yang Fan smiled mysteriously and kicked the football over, hitting Zhao Ji's sedan door.
