Why is football the first sport in the world? Tell you four reasons.

Diego maradona

Early this morning, the Argentine football player known as the "hand of God"Diego Diego Maradona.He died of cardiac arrest, and the media all over the world reported that countless fans posted articles on social media to mourn the "King of the Ball".Diego Maradona.

In today’s single sports events in the world, football is the most popular sport and the craziest one. Why is football called the first sport in the world?

Take the World Cup as an example:

The participating countries of the World Cup are all over the world, and football teams from more than 200 countries compete for the qualification to enter the finals (only 32 teams and 736 players were selected in the final). Every game is full of audiences, and its ratings, broadcasting fees, sponsors, advertising revenue and peripheral products have exceeded the scale of the Olympic Games.

There are at least four reasons why football is called the first sport in the world:

(A) the entry threshold is very low

Football has very low requirements for venues, equipment and equipment. For example, many world-class stars come from poor areas in South America and Africa, so they can easily participate in this sport in economically backward countries or poor families. In professional football fields, dirt floors and streets, you can have fun as long as there is an open space! I still remember when I was a child, after school, several classmates found an open space and used schoolbags as goals. Several people agreed on the rules and didn’t need referees, so they could have a great time.

(2) The requirements for body shape are not high.

Generally speaking, if a sport wants to be a top athlete, congenital conditions are very important. Although the acquired efforts can make up for some congenital deficiencies, in the fierce sports competition, the actual effect is very limited, so many sports keep many people out for this reason. However, football doesn’t require high body shape. There is a saying in the industry that "if you can’t play football with a sense of accomplishment, never blame yourself for being inferior to others."

In football, tall players have long legs and great strength, and are not easy to be pushed down due to collision. Short players react quickly, which is beneficial to dribbling and shuttling and has the advantage of possession of the ball.

Therefore, in football, becoming a top star requires personal physical fitness, personal skills, personal psychological quality, teamwork, tactical strategy, organizational system and other conditions; Take one’s physical fitness as an example. It requires both speed and endurance, and it requires both footwork and footwork.

(3) Actively participate in all countries, big or small.

Basketball and volleyball, among the three major balls in the world, are usually played by a few fixed countries in international competitions. Football, on the other hand, is different. No matter big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor countries actively participate in international competitions.

For example, the Asian island country Maldives, with a population of less than 300,000, even lost to Iran 0-17 in a World Cup, setting a record for the biggest score gap in an event, but it did not affect the country’s love for this sport at all.

(4) A game that keeps people hopeful forever.

For example, in the World Cup, when team A wins team B and team B wins team C, the logical final result should be that team A wins team C, but the result of football match is not like this, and the reversal of team C winning team A often occurs. In the 2018 World Cup group match, Group F: Mexico wins Germany, Germany wins Sweden, and Sweden wins Mexico; Group H: Japan wins Colombia, Colombia wins Poland, and Poland wins Japan in turn. Therefore, the football match is a game that people will always have hope.

Do you think football is the first sport in the world?

Luo Zhi was once a basketball legend in Hunan middle school. The Olympics wanted to enter the national team.

  Zhejiang Online-qianjiang evening news News "Hey, hey, what’s my story, Daju (Ju Peng), don’t you think!" Walking into Luo Zhi’s room, the teenager who was putting a bandage on his foot jokingly threw out such a sentence as soon as he heard that the reporter wanted to talk to him about his story. Ju Peng on the bed next to him smiled. "Oh, don’t ask me, I don’t know anything." Carefully tied his feet with bandages and gauze, Luo Zhi smiled at the reporter and said, "No way, everyone is afraid of being injured. You must be careful, otherwise you will get hurt too easily!" Let’s start. "


  Campus years have changed the basketball map of Changsha Middle School.


  Luo Zhi was a serious middle school student in Hunan before he was selected by Zhejiang Ma Qingnian Team. He said that his experience in school was a bit like the cartoon "Slam Dunk Master". Luo Zhi loved playing ball since he was a child. When he entered junior high school, he had grown to more than 1.70 meters, and he was incorporated into the Hunan Paddy Junior High School team. However, because he couldn’t play the main force all the time, Luo Zhi left the school team in a rage and ran to the street to play streetball with adults. "Now think about it, streetball is actually very interesting." Luo Zhi said that after playing streetball for a period of time, Luo Zhi’s skills advanced by leaps and bounds, and he led the class team to beat the school team in a game, which made him re-elected to the school team and became the main player. In the second year of junior high school, the rice field junior high school team led by Luo Zhi defeated the basketball team of Mingde Middle School, a traditional basketball school in Hunan Province, with an average height of less than 1.74 meters.


  The layout of middle school basketball in Changsha City, Hunan Province is that Changsha No.1 Middle School and Mingde Middle School share the world equally, and almost every year high school leagues have to fight to the death. Since Luo Zhi joined Changsha No.1 Middle School, the situation has changed. Facing the provincial key basketball high school, Luo Zhi led the team to beat the opponent several times. In the "Jingshi Cup" basketball match in Hunan in 2001, although Changsha No.1 Middle School led by Luo Zhi lost to Mingde Middle School in the final, Luo Zhi still won the final MVP by virtue of his outstanding performance. Later, he was elected to the high school basketball star team and participated in an exhibition match with Zhejiang Wanma. It was this game that Luo Zhi entered the sight of Pan Jianping, who was the head coach of Wanma team at that time. "Coincidentally, in fact, Pan Dao came to Changsha for a 2.08-meter center, but I didn’t expect to choose me in the end." Luo Zhi recalled that after that, a master basketball player on campus finally took a key step on the basketball road and joined Zhejiang Wan Ma Qingnian Team.


  However, until now, Luo Zhi still misses the time when he played in Changsha when he was in high school. "C is Courage, which stands for courage. Only by practicing hard and not afraid of losing can we win the first place! M is right! It stands for Manly. If it’s not a man, we’ll kick him out! " In front of the computer screen, Luo Zhi read out the theme words of these two CMBC (Changsha, Xiangtan and Zhuzhou Middle School Basketball Challenge) rhythmically. "These two paragraphs are read, and there is a theme song." CMBC, this is Luo Zhi’s first appearance on the basketball stage, and it is also the starting point for him to pursue his basketball dream.


  Hangzhou loves to eat boiled fish in Zhaohui District 9.


  Unlike most of his teammates, Luo Zhi has no QQ, MSN, little Internet access, no laptop, or even an IPOD or PSP game machine. It’s not because Luo Zhi saves money. For money, the big boy rarely thinks: "I usually give buy buy clothes and everything else to my mother. I have no place to spend it myself." However, Luo Zhi also told reporters that he is going to buy a laptop next year. "It’s not for anything else, it’s not for playing games, it’s just that I hope I can really learn something and learn some English."


  Talking about his life in Hangzhou, Luo Zhi shook his head and said, "It’s monotonous. It’s really monotonous. There is nothing to do except training competitions." Luo Zhi said that he seldom went to the West Lake, and the most impressive thing was the broken bridge. He used to go to the cafe near the West Lake with his teammates for tea and cards occasionally. Now it is a training competition every day, and I haven’t been there for a long time. Of course, since he is a "prostitute" in Hunan, loving spicy food is definitely Luo Zhi’s hobby. "After all these years, I’m still not used to eating Hangzhou food, so I like to find spicy food to eat," Luo Zhi said. "I like Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine, and I like to go to a restaurant in Zhaohui District 9, Hedong Road, to eat boiled fish best. That store is actually not big, but that fish is so spicy, wow! Don’t mention how delicious it is! Hey, have you eaten? " Seeing that the reporter shook his head, Luo Zhi looked disappointed. "It’s really good for you to try it when you have the opportunity."


  Talking about his future life, Luo Zhi seems very determined: "All my relationships have been transferred to Zhejiang, and the provincial sports meeting is also for Zhejiang. I will definitely settle in Hangzhou in the future." Before leaving Changsha, Luo Zhi’s impression of Hangzhou was only two introductions from friends: "Clean and good public security". After so many years, Luo Zhi’s evaluation of Hangzhou is: "Hangzhou is really a particularly livable city." Although he wants to settle in Hangzhou, Luo Zhi has no plans to buy a house in Hangzhou in the short term. "Hey, one is that the house in Hangzhou is not cheap, and another is that it is absolutely impossible for my parents to come to Hangzhou with me." This may be Luo Zhi’s biggest regret. "My parents have many brothers and sisters and often get together. It can be said that everything they have is in Hunan, so they can’t adapt to changing to a strange environment. "


  I love talking on the phone off the court and want to join the national team.


  Talking on the phone for a long distance is one of Luo Zhi’s greatest hobbies, and everyone in Wanma team knows Luo Zhi’s habit of talking on the phone. No matter on the road or at home, after training and competition, you have to ask your teammates where Luo Zhi is, and everyone will answer you without looking back: "You must be on the phone in your room!"


  From a master basketball player on campus to a professional player, to a member of the national training team, a three-point champion in CBA All-Star Game and a member of the national team, Luo Zhi has come step by step in his basketball career. This summer, Luo Zhi has been recovering from injury since he retired from the second national team due to injury, which has also caused his condition to be not very good until now. However, the teenager didn’t give up his dream. He told reporters that he really wanted to fight hard and work hard, hoping to win an opportunity to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games and represent the national team. This is his dream. "I know my strengths and weaknesses. My three-point shooting percentage is good. What I lack is the ability to defend and pass the ball, but I have confidence in myself. Because I am a competitive player, I believe that through my own efforts, I will be successful."


  Before leaving the game, Luo Zhi splashed his hair with water in the bathroom to make himself more awake. The reporter casually asked, "How can your three-pointers be so accurate?" "Practice bai, the key is to find the feeling of the basket at that distance, practice that feeling, naturally. Anyway, outside the three-point line, I have the most feeling about the basket! " Luo Zhiyang Yang head, a face of confidence.

Tenghage informed Manchester United that the Red Devils confirmed the signing of midfield, and De Rong became the first choice. Is Barcelona still for sale?

Although the fans have achieved relatively satisfactory results this season, and the team’s current lineup strength has also been improved, there is still a lot of room for improvement in Manchester United. Not only the center players in the front line need to be adjusted, but also the position of the midfield is the key point that Manchester United needs to adjust, and even the central defender needs to make signings. Therefore, the next transfer period is equally important for Manchester United, even more important than the next game. After all, it is related to what kind of achievements Manchester United can achieve in the next few seasons.

The adjustment of the front line must be carried out. Neither Marchal nor Wieghorst has the strength to play steadily in the next Manchester United lineup, and the team needs a top striker to ensure Manchester United’s offensive efficiency. Judging from the current news, Kane is certainly Manchester United’s first choice. If Kane cannot be signed, many players, including Gonzalo Ramos, Vlahovic and even Osman, are on Manchester United’s plan list, but these players are not cheap, and their worth basically fluctuates around 100 million euros.

In addition to the position of the front line, the midfield is also the focus of Manchester United’s adjustment. The key factor for the steady improvement of Manchester United’s record this season lies in the joining of Eriksson and casemiro, who helped Manchester United complete the task of controlling the midfield and made it more threatening. This is the change brought by the top middle ground, and in their absence, Manchester United’s performance has also been greatly affected. However, Eriksson and casemiro alone can’t undertake the task of third-line operations, while Fred, Van der Beck and even McTominay all appear in Manchester United’s sale plan.

According to the well-known football journalist Romano, Manchester United has confirmed the signing plan in the summer transfer period. No matter what decision Sabitze finally makes, Manchester United will sign a midfielder in the summer. And Manchester United want to bring in players who have proved their strength, even top players, and their plan list includes De Jong, Casedo, mcallister, Rice and others, but what Manchester United want most is De Rong. Of course, mcallister has basically confirmed that Liverpool will not join Manchester United.

However, if there is still a chance for Manchester United to sign De Jong before the start of this season, now with the departure of busquets, the importance of De Jong will be further highlighted, and it is unknown whether Barcelona will sell De Jong. Moreover, the reason why Barcelona sells De Jong is to make enough salary space and get a large transfer fee. However, with the departure of busquets and Alaba, Barcelona has basically solved the salary problem for next season. Will they sell their own midfield core at this time?

The US media commented on the top 10 most overrated players: the youngest MVP Ross was on the list, and four scoring champions were on the list.

Although many players in the NBA are collectively referred to as stars, there is a gap between them. Stars can be divided into ordinary stars, all-stars, league superstars and league superstars. Players who can become superstars in an era are bound to be among the top 30 in history. Some players, even though their abilities are not excellent, still have a high historical position. Recently, the US media selected the 10 most overrated players in history. Is it reasonable to look at them together?

Gaubert is the winner of the best defensive player for three times. With his excellent moving speed and height and arm length, he can affect his opponent’s attack even if he is two positions behind the attacker. He has been able to support a set of defensive system by himself in the past few years, so he has won the first salary in the history of the center. However, this is, after all, the era of small balls. Gaubert, a center with a traditional style of play, suffered a lot, and he was singled out by his opponent in the backcourt in the playoffs.

Gaubert has become a premium contract this season. He doesn’t conform to the style of play in the era of small ball at all, and the dealer is very low. Recently, he has been ravaged by Jokic in the playoffs. For now, Gaubert is a junk contract. After this season, the Timberwolves will definitely try to trade him, but it is necessary to add chips to send him away. Gaubert averaged 13.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks this season, with a shooting percentage of 66%.

At that time, Stoudemire was regarded as Yao Ming’s arch-enemy. With his highly ornamental performance in his peak period, he was selected as the best player for a while. He was also selected as the All-Star for six times and the All-Team for six times. This kind of performance and popularity is a proper Hall of Fame player, but Stoudemire has not been nominated yet. Although his playing style is good, he does not have a decent personal honor.

Moreover, in the playoffs, Stoudemire is not trustworthy, especially in the face of Duncan. His flying stream has been unable to cross Duncan’s floor stream, so the Sun can’t cross the Spurs. At the peak, Stoudemire averaged 25 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.9 blocks, which was called Yao Ming’s old enemy. However, there is still a gap between Stoudemire’s achievements and Yao Ming’s. At least, Yao Ming’s influence is much better than his.

Owen’s personal ability can’t be said. He can be said to be a historical singles player. His sense of the ball is excellent. On the one hand, Owen’s talent can rank among the top point guards in history, and Owen’s defensive ability is also excellent. His defense has always been underestimated. Although Owen’s professionalism is poor, his ability is also very popular among fans here. As the second master, Owen helped the team win the championship and was selected as an All-Star eight times, which is very good.

Owen is still at his peak. He can score 27 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season. I think the reason why Owen entered this list is his ability to lead the team. Owen has never led the team as the team leader, so he did in the Cavaliers. In the Green Army, the Celtics’ record was better without him. The reason why Owen could not lead as a point guard was questioned.

McGrady plays an important role in the hearts of many older fans in China. In their view, McGrady’s ability at the peak can be comparable to Kobe Bryant’s. Moreover, McGrady won two scoring titles, and at the peak, he had the fastest first step in the league, plus 35 seconds and 13 minutes that made people feel puzzled. Therefore, McGrady is also very optimistic. He has been selected as an All-Star for seven times and an all-star team for seven times, which is also very good.

In the peak season, McGrady averaged 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. I think the reason why he entered this list may be because McGrady didn’t lead the team to play well. Even in the season of winning the scoring championship, he led the Magic only in the first round. As the boss, McGrady never crossed the first round, and his ability to lead the team was questioned, and he didn’t have such great honor as MVP in his career.

As the triple-double king in history, Wei Shao is the only player in history who has averaged triple-doubles in four seasons. His entry into this list is really unexpected. Wei Shao won the MVP in his peak season with his outstanding performance. MVP is a contest between all the stars in 82 regular season. Wei Shao’s ability to force everyone to win such an honor also shows how excellent he is, but he still entered this list.

Wei Shao averaged 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game in his peak season. He also won the honor of two scoring titles and three assists, and was selected as an All-Star nine times. With so many honors, he still entered this list. In the eyes of the US media, he may not recognize Wei Shao’s performance and think that he is the data that has been brushed out. However, the rebounding ability in the peak period of Wei Shao is indeed the strongest in the league defender.

Ross’s entry into this list is absolutely the last thing people expected. It is surprising that he entered this list less than Wei. Ross is the youngest MVP in history, and he also snatched the MVP from the top ten players in history, James and Kobe. Moreover, Ross led the team in the third year of his career and achieved the first record in the East. Looking at the history, he is very rare, and Ross is definitely not overestimated.

At the peak, Ross averaged 25 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1 steal per game. To be exact, Ross had not reached the peak at that time, when Ross was only 22 years old. Maybe the American media thought that Ross was too famous, but his peak was too short, so he was put into this list. If Ross had not suffered a big injury in the past, he might still be the top backcourt in the league, but there were not so many if, the destruction of Ross has been hard to let go.

Iverson, as a historical scorer, has won the scoring champion four times and the MVP in the regular season. He is regarded as the top 30 player in history by many American media. Even though he has no championship in his career, his influence and status have been recognized. As a result, Iverson has also entered this list. Iverson also won the stealing champion three times in his career, and was selected as an All-Star for 11 times, and the best team for 7 times, which is very good.

Iverson can score 33 points, 3.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game in the peak season. Iverson may have entered this list because his offensive efficiency is based on the data played by the team’s unlimited fire rights, so he has been questioned. However, as the shortest scoring champion in history, the shortest champion, and a single-player who led a team to the finals, I think it is the most controversial for him and Ross to enter this list.

Without Carter, there would be no grand occasion of the NBA in the 00′ s. When Jordan retired from the NBA, the ratings dropped to freezing point. It was Carter who saved the NBA market with his violent performance in the dunk contest. Carter was called Jordan’s successor, nicknamed UFO, and claimed to be a demigod. In actual combat at the Olympic Games, he even dunked every other person. Carter was selected as an All-Star eight times, but only twice as the best team.

Carter averaged 27.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in the peak season. Carter’s ability to lead the team was indeed overestimated. Because of Jordan, he got a key training when he entered the league, but he didn’t lead a team to play decent results at the peak. However, Carter’s career is commendable. He has played the longest in 22 years, and he can stand the loneliness when he lost his peak, and he is not willing to hold a group to get a ring.

Howard’s entry into this list is surprising. Although Howard was not as good as O ‘Neill in the traditional basketball era, he also played a dominant role with excellent defense. At the peak of that year, it was called the existence of single-exchange James. He was able to support a defense system by himself, which was much better than that of Gaubert. It was only after the arrival of the small ball era that everyone misunderstood him.

Howard averaged 22.9 points, 14.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.4 blocks per game in the peak season. He won three best defensive players, five best ones, five best defensive lineups, five rebounds and two blocked shots, and was selected as an All-Star for eight times. Perhaps because of his limited offensive ability, Howard has never been recognized as such, and even most of NBA75 has not been selected.

Anthony was nicknamed the offensive kaleidoscope. He was the only one who could shake James’s position as the No.1 pick in the 2003 draft. Anthony’s offensive talent was really excellent, and his defense was also very good when he was young, but then he gradually sank, and he became a data brush. Just as Billups said,’ He would rather lose by 30 points than win by cutting 20 points’, Anthony was too obsessed with scoring.

At its peak, Melon averaged 28.9 points, 6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. It’s not surprising that Anthony entered this list. Although his total score is among the top ten in history, Anthony didn’t lead the team to play well, and he didn’t have a decent personal honor, but he was famous. Now he has entered the last year of his career, and the result is still high or low. It is estimated that he will not be able to win the championship in his career.
