Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

After settling down, we waited to watch the game.

They were quite familiar with this thing.

The Song Dynasty entertained foreign envoys.

There are also frequent performances of Cuju (ancient Chinese football).

The Northern Song Dynasty was wealthy.

They specifically maintained sports teams and acrobatic performers within the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution).

These two groups are jokingly referred to as the "Left and Right Armies".

The Southern Song Dynasty lacked financial resources.

The performance troupe that entertained the envoys

We had to temporarily summon people from the public.

After the stadium closed,

The match did not start immediately.

Some athletes who are not competing today,

They went on the field to play ball and entertain the audience.

They were playing goalless football.

Various high-altitude ball tosses and catches,

Sometimes they even perform solo for two or three minutes.

Whenever a spectacular move occurs,

The audience cheered enthusiastically.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The warm-up is over, the bell rings three times.

The Qiyun Society and Chuanyun Society teams entered the field.

Li Bangyan summoned his nephew, Li Du:

"Did you tell them?"

Li Du replied, "I've already explained it clearly."

"A goal scored will earn the entire team a reward of ten strings of cash."

"The goal scorer will receive an additional ten strings of cash."

Chapter 3177 New Rules

Li Bangyan said, "We absolutely cannot afford to lose today's match."

"All the royal family members and dignitaries are here,"

“Emissaries from various countries are also present.”

"Losing would be a huge loss of face!"

Li Du tattled on him, saying:

"I actually wanted to give them five hundred strings of cash,"

"Let them loosen their grip at crucial moments."

"But those bastards on the other side also want to win,"

"They completely disregarded their uncle."

"A sports club run by a bunch of former nobles,"

"This is the new Ming Dynasty,"

"I wonder what they're so arrogant about?"

“They have powerful backers,”

"Don't say these things again," Li Bangyan instructed.

The game has already started, but it's affected by the two time travelers.

The rules of Cuju (ancient Chinese football) changed a lot during the Ming Dynasty.

First, the goal.

There was only one goal in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, it was set up in the midfield.

Now it's changed to both ends of the court.

Each has one goal.

And the doorway has become much larger.

A ten-meter-high goal,

It grew to be five meters tall.

Secondly, the number of players on the field.

The number of people per team has increased from seven to nine.

Less than two minutes into the game,

One player jumped up to contest the ball.

Head the ball away.

The other player controlled the ball and caught it smoothly.

"boom!"

"Ah Yue, Ah Yue!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Many audience members stood up in excitement.

It's obvious that the one who caught the ball is a star.

Zhao Yuan hasn't come to watch a game in half a year.

Confused, he casually asked, "Who is A-Yue?"

Many of his wives and concubines were unaware of this.

Only Pang Chunmei said, "I've accompanied Her Majesty to watch a few performances."

"They were all brought here by Li Daizhao."

"They shouted that at one of the events too,"

"Later I asked around and found out that there was a guy named Li Ayue who played exceptionally well."

This Li Ayue is the team leader (captain).

The opposing left and right guards (left and right backcourt guards) surrounded them together.

Even the free agents broke through the encirclement.

Li Ayue quickly passed the ball out.

The striker receives the ball and passes it to the second striker.

The second-in-command swayed past the person,

He then passed the ball to Li Ayue, who had made a run.

The new rules establish no-go zones.

Only the attacking side's head,

And the defender's left and right pole nets can enter the penalty area.

Furthermore, physical contact is prohibited within the restricted area.

The only way to interfere is through other means.

Otherwise, how could you score into a goal that's only the size of a basketball hoop in mid-air?

Meanwhile, after dribbling the ball into the penalty area,

The ball cannot fall to the ground again.

Once the ball hits the ground...

The attacking team loses possession of the ball.

The whole set of rules is just a hodgepodge.

Zhao Yuan disliked the way Cuju was played in the Song Dynasty.

The ball must not touch the ground throughout the entire process.

Therefore, a rule was established prohibiting physical contact between the players of both sides.

It requires a high level of skill.

However, its competitiveness is too weak.

And the football players in Tokyo,

He also disliked Zhao Yuan's rules very much.

They believed that Prince Zhu's style of playing football was too barbaric.

Both sides compromised and merged.

That is, it has become the current hybrid it is today.

On the contrary, in the military,

Completely transform into modern football.

That's when the fighting gets really intense.

Li Ayue used various parts of his body to...

He kept moving and adjusting the ball while bouncing it.

The two opposing defenders looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

They not only want to interfere with scoring goals

We also need to prevent physical contact.

If Li Ayue dribbles and bumps into them...

It was actually a foul by the defending player.

Chapter 3178 Riding a Horse and Showing Off

"brush!"

The ball flew out and swished into the hole.

The whole crowd cheered.

The goal used to be ten meters high.

Now it's five meters.

It's too easy for a Cuju master.

Zhao Yuan, however, found it quite boring.

The physicality inside the penalty area is too poor.

Zhao Yuan summoned Bai Sheng:
