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.

On the night of August 4, the world of the fans was cold, which was vividly reflected in Cui Yongxi.

On the night of August 4, the world of the fans was cold, which was vividly reflected in Cui Yongxi. Netizens hit the nail on the head: After watching the whole game, to put it simply, the head coach has brought too many changes to this China team. The ball runs smoothly instead of waiting for the ball in the same place, and the players are full of effort. Zhao Jiwei is the brain of China team at present. It is really indispensable to have him without him, but the lack of a substitute similar to Jeff is a hidden danger. 3. Zhang Zhenlin and Cui Yongxi are full of energy, and their role can be maximized under the series connection of Zhao Jiwei. There are still some changes in Joe’s leadership, but the free throws are still as bad. Zhao Rui, an emotional and unstable player, is not suitable for the national team.

Zhao Rui, as the No.1 position, is a time bomb. Fang Shuo can play the No.2 position, but you can try it if you can’t open the situation. Wang Zhelin and Hu Jinqiu are really well matched in the second team at the same time. The head coach must insist on this rotation and collocation. Zhou Peng and Fu Hao don’t have to play, and their role on the field is very limited. Free throw is a long-standing problem, but to this extent, it is not only a technical problem, but also a psychological obstacle. Don’t always cling to this knot. I hope that Li Kaier will bring something more special to the China team after playing. I have to say that the physical talent of Cape Verde is really good, so it’s not necessary to keep your mouth shut in this piece. However, the technology of Cape Verde is still a little rough, and it has been floating outside for three points.

To tell the truth, this coach is really excellent. One thing said, if Yang Ming leads the team, he may not win Cape Verde. Under Qiao Shuai’s leadership, the young men in our men’s basketball team have improved more than a little, even the rotation is very stable, and there is no need to focus on the starting players until they collapse! In the past, Du Feng used to play with Guangdong and Liaoning teams, but now this coach is much more powerful and the lineup is too strong. I expect the China team to achieve good results. Compared with the previous national team, the most obvious difference is that our defender is no longer. It takes more than ten seconds to launch an attack, and the integrity is very good. Cui Yongxi changed the cognition of China’s traditional basketball play. He didn’t want to see Cui Yongxi in front, but he was so brave in the back.

What I used to play, it was hard to get through half a game. After the change of coach, the change is too obvious. The rotation on the court is much better, the stakes are reduced, the players are clear about their responsibilities, and the offense and defense are greatly improved. Zhao Jiwei’s organizational role is obvious, Xiao Cui’s performance is amazing, Zhu Junlong and Zhang Zhenlin are also very good, and Wang Daqiu is very active after playing. The most surprising thing is that Fang Shuo is calm and sophisticated, and his ability to shoot with one hand is also very good. Vince is slightly out of touch. Zhao Rui is really a long story. Cui Yongxi played the best, with empty dunks, throws, one-handed layups with strong windmills, 3 long shots and fast-break dunks. Fang Shuo and Zhao Jiwei at the back line were also very powerful, often breaking through the points, and the overall play was smooth. Everyone was very active and didn’t wait for the ball as before, so they could score every chance!

Whoscored comments on the best lineup of this round of Europa League! Leverkusen Manchester United will be selected with three each, tied for the most.

In the Europa League competition, the first leg of the top 16 of the Europa League was held. In addition to the best eleven lineup in this round, three players from Manchester United and Leverkusen were selected and tied for the most. The three players selected by Leverkusen are all from the backcourt, and the best duo in this round of central defender position is Jonathan Tower and Tapsoba, both of whom are over 1.9 meters tall and have outstanding ability to compete for the top ball at high altitude. Jonathan Tower is 27 years old, while Tapsoba is 24 years old, three years younger than Jonathan Tower. These two are also the main central defenders of the team.

Jonathan Tower is a German player. He has played 31 games for the pharmaceutical factory so far this season, starting as many as 27 games, scoring a goal and getting a yellow card for seven games. In Europe, Jonathan Tower played 6 Champions League games and 3 Europa League games for the team this season, which is the core of the team’s defense. Jonathan Tower has a tough style, is good at pushing forward, and is aggressive in defense. If Jonathan Tower sits in the backcourt, it also makes the fans more defensive. It is obviously not easy for the opponent striker to cross the barrier of Jonathan Tower. Jonathan Tower is not only tall, but also physically antagonistic. As for Tapsoba, the high school defender, the defensive hardness is not inferior to teammate Jonathan Tower.

The Burkina Faso defender came to Leverkusen in the winter of 2020, and previously played in guimaraes, with a transfer fee of 20.2 million euros. So far this season, Tapsoba has only played as a substitute in one game, and started in the other 31 games, scoring two goals and getting four yellow cards. These two high school guards are also quite popular in the transfer market, and many teams are paying close attention to them and intend to dig them out this summer. Bayer Leverkusen also has one person selected, and this person is Hincapie, a left-footed general from Ecuador, playing full-back position. This season is the Ecuador international’s second season in Leverkusen, and now he is also the regular main force of the team.

Since the start of the season, Hincapie has played 28 games for Leverkusen, including 25 starts and 3 substitutes, and scored 1 goal. The assists have not been captured yet. As a full-back, Hincapie’s defensive performance is good, but in this link of assists, it needs to be improved to be a full-back with strong offensive and defensive strength at both ends. Manchester United are also selected by three people, namely Rachford, Bruno Fernandez and Wehorst. In the Europa League match in the middle of the week, all three of them scored goals, which was the hero of the team’s victory. Bruno Fernandez plays an organizational role in Manchester United, which is different from the other two.

Rachford and Wehorst are both frontcourt players, but their roles are different. The former is fast, plays more flanks and has strong scoring ability. As for Wehorst, he is a tall center. Although he didn’t score many goals after joining Manchester United, he played a big role in the team. The existence of Wehorst can make other players at Manchester United’s offensive end play more skillfully, thus producing a good chemical reaction. Wehorst has played 15 games for Manchester United so far, including 8 in the Cup and 7 in the League. Both the FA Cup and the Carling Cup have scored goals, but they haven’t scored in the league on behalf of Manchester United. The Dutch high center hopes to do this as soon as possible.
