History

Football is the most popular sport in the world. But there is a history behind this football game coming to this stage of popularity today. There is also some controversy over this history. Because in the beginning this football game was played differently in different countries and was known by different names in different countries. This is why there is so much controversy about the country that invented the game of football.

According to most historians, China was the inventor of the game of football, but according to various sources, football was practiced in Greek and Roman civilizations. By 350 BC, the Greeks and Romans were playing a variety of ball games. The Greeks and Romans played some of the different types of ball games with their feet. The Greek game Episkyros originated from the Roman game Harpastum.

Data from two authors of the time are available. A Greek playwright named Antiphanes talks about his various writing games. Only he is not alone. Clement of Alexandria, a Christian philosopher, also wrote about the games of that time in his various writings. From their writings we get some idea about this. There is also a clearer idea of this from the writings of a Roman politician.The politician, Cicero, said a man was killed by a ball while shaving at a barber shop during the game, and the balls he played with were filled with air much like balloons.

According to another, it is known that the game of football was born in the United Kingdom. The time was the 12th century. However, in the same vein, football was introduced in China long before the United Kingdom. Not only that, football was a popular sport among the Chinese. However, at that time the name of the game was 'Chu Chiui'. The event is more than two and a half thousand years ago today. At that time, sports festivals were organized in China.

However, this sports festival cannot be called a direct football game. The name of the game in Chinese is 'Tu Su Chu Pa'. In Chinese, ‘to su’ means kicking with the feet and ‘chu pa’ means a ball made of leather. The name is very similar to the current game of football. Back then balls were made of leather and the inside was filled with cotton or hair. ‘Chu Chiui’ became more popular during the Thang and Sung dynasties.

FIFA, the world governing body for football, first recognized the ancient Greek game Episkyros as the earliest form of football. FIFA later changed its mind and recognized ‘cuju’ as the first form of the game of football. ‘Cuju’ was the name of a game in China. In Chinese it means ‘kick ball’.In China at first this game was only prevalent among the military.

At that time this game was organized to train the members of the army. The historical Chinese military text Zhan Guo Ce was written between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC where the word football is found. This text describes an army exercise known as cuju. Each team had 6 members and could be pushed and thrown during the game.

At that time the game was an effective means of increasing the courage and physical strength of the soldiers.According to another, the type of game that was popular in China was one or two players per team. The length of the field was about 30 feet. The goalposts were much taller than the current goalposts. But there was only one foot on the side. The goal had to be scored with this one foot space.

It was very difficult to score a goal with this one foot space even in the condition of being very tall. Like now, the net was used behind the time and goalposts. The loser was determined by the goal difference. Men and women all played this game.

The game is also popular among the Japanese from China. However, the game played by the Japanese was called 'Kimari'. This game is a lot like ‘To Su Chu Pa’. The Japanese did not have any rules for playing this ‘kimari’ game. The rule of the game was that some people would kick the ball inside a circular field but they tried not to let the ball fall to the ground or float in the air.

The game that was popular among the Romans was called 'Harpastum'. The style of playing harpastam at that time was similar to the current football game. And it was through the Romans that the game spread to other countries in Europe. At that time the game was played on Sundays in different countries of Europe.

Let's come to England. Many of us know that England is the father of football. But history says that when this game came to England, the time was 108 years. In other parts of the world, the game is not much of a fuss, but in England, the game turned into a war. Many fighters have died while playing this game.

Many have broken limbs. He would kill anyone he could. The main reason for this was that there were no rules of the game in England. Even then the game had a lot of popularity. The game could not be stopped despite repeated orders from the palace. People would kill each other in the name of playing like closed lunatics.

At the same time, a game called 'Calcio' appeared in Italy. Italy's 'Calcio' was more of a tactical game than any other country in the world. The word calcio originates from a word called ‘calchire’. ‘Calcare’ means ‘kick’. And ‘calcio’ means football. There was no fighting in this game in Italy. There were teachers to teach the players the game. They managed and trained the game.

Nearly 300 years later, in the 19th century, a schoolteacher named Richard Mulcaster from England, after seeing such a well-arranged tactical football game in Italy, returned to England and tried to introduce a well-arranged tactical football game in various schools in England. Step by step they have been tied up a lot. Yet they were able to turn that game of death in England into a neatly arranged tactical game. But even then there were a lot of messy things. For example - the difference between the number of players in the two teams. 15 people played in one team and 20 people played in the opposing team. And at that time there were 5 goalkeepers. With so many players running around the field, there was always a kind of commotion.So later in 180 a law was passed that each team should have 11 players and one of them would have a goalkeeper in one team. So the journey of modern football started from 180 years.

In 1926, Arsenal's board of directors first decided to put numbers on players' jerseys for easy identification. At that time the jersey number of the host team was 1-11 and the number of the visiting team was 12-22. But in 1940 it was decided that the same number could be taken by the players of the opposing team but the number should be up to 1-22. The name of the player was first written in the jersey in 1993 and it was decided that any number of players can take it.

coach

The level of playing football and the role and responsibilities of coaches may vary from country to country. The main role of a coach in youth football is to motivate the players and show their skills on paper. Preferring the gift of a lively and beautiful game rather than a physical or tactical passage.

source

In recent years, sports regulators in different countries have continued their efforts in this regard in their training charts. The coaches are also asked to follow the necessary guidelines for the development of the players and for them to enjoy the joy of victory. In a competitive game, he can stay out of the field with other additional players wherever it is convenient for strategic reasons; But his position is not regulated by law.

Domestic competition

The governing body of each country hosts domestic competitions every season. It usually consists of several divisions and teams earn points based on the outcome of the game throughout the season. The teams are sorted by a list of points they have earned. In most cases, teams play matches with all the other teams in his league at home and at rivals' seasons each season. The top team was then declared champions at the end of the season. The top few teams may even get a chance to play in the top division.

Similarly, a few teams that finished the season absolutely below the points list are relegated to the lower division. The top one or more teams may also get a chance to play in international club competitions next season. The main exceptions to this rule are seen in a few leagues in Latin America. In most countries, one or more "cup" competitions are associated with the league system. In some countries, star players play for a huge fee in the highest divisions. Similarly in some countries and lower division players may have become unprofessional and seasonal. The top five leagues in Europe are Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Serie A (Italy), Bundesliga (Germany) and League 1 (France). These leagues attract most of the top players in the world and each of them costs 800 million pounds-sterling or 63 million euros or more than 1.175 billion dollars.

Referee

The football game is conducted through a referee. He applied all the rules and regulations as the main authority in the game. Two assistant referees or linesmen and sometimes a fourth referee also assist him in the game. However, 6 referees participated in the UEFA football tournament. The two mark the position of the ball from outside the goalpost to see if it has crossed the goal line (also called the goal line referee).

It is his responsibility to finish the game on time or add extra time. After being on the field, he examined all the details, submitted the report to the authorities at the end of the game, including the accuracy of the number of players, the involvement of additional players, etc. Also, the player takes the necessary steps to undo the injury and its seriousness. On the field, he can warn, punish or expel any player, even the team coach, by applying yellow or red cards respectively.

The competing authorities can create a panel of referees if they wish to conduct the game properly. In 2007, the World Cup organizing authority appointed a 5th judge to assist the match referee.
