Chapter 68
Li Huitang called everyone together and began to explain tomorrow's opponents to everyone.

"At first, I didn't want to explain tomorrow's opponent, but there is no other way. Our team leader said that she would not tell you about tomorrow's opponent, she was a little worried!"

Zeng Xiyu smiled at everyone.

"Amazing team leader!"

"Love you, leader!"

……

"No.18 Middle School, your opponent this time, in my opinion, this is another opponent with no chance of winning, an opponent whose height and physique are not the same as ours!" Li Huitang pointed to a photo on the blackboard!
"This is a photo of a substitute player from Eighteenth Middle School. I also have other people's information here, but after seeing his photo, I think you can understand why I didn't show you other people's photos!"

The player in the photo is a very sunny-looking boy, but his figure in the jersey left a great impression on everyone, because this person is a bit strong, of course, this kind of strength is relative, at least in Jianghai High School, everyone's body looks very thin.

"See it! This is the body of his substitute player, strong and powerful, and a very enviable figure. From my point of view, this kind of physical fitness is the quality needed to play football. This is why I ask you to eat more meat!"

Zeng Xiyu pointed to the photo.

"Your body is too thin! And our opponent, as the concentration camp of the most mischievous students in the city, I don't think you need to say that you also understand how good their physical fitness is. Of course, today I am not here to tell you how powerful they are, nor to tell you how to break their formation. There is no way, because it is useless!"

"What I want to talk about today is! How can I not get hurt!"

"what?"

"Do you think there is a problem with what I said? You have to understand that injuries are a very normal thing on the football field. You like football so much and know football very well. Let me ask you, except for those professional players who have never had a chance to play. How many of your players are not injured?"

All the players fell silent. When the high school league was held, there were many problems. Among them, injuries were the most common problem. Sports injuries were too common, and the league was a game where there were winners and losers. It was almost impossible for you not to get injured. During the ten years of the high school league, many outstanding players left the court due to injuries, so many people opposed the holding of the high school league at that time.

Until now, when the high school league is held, there will be ambulances waiting by the side of the stadium, just in case something happens in Heyang. Competitive sports are like this, which makes people love and hate.

"Moreover, our opponent tomorrow is even more of a headache. There is no way. In the past three games, they have allowed two players to recuperate for two weeks. You also know the situation of our players. There are not even many substitutes. We must ensure that we try our best not to get injured, so what I want to give you today is to prevent you from getting injured!"

"Is it a secret weapon?"

"No! It's a flop!"

"Huh?" The team members were completely dumbfounded!Diving?What is that?

Diving, sports term.It means that in the process of sports confrontation, player A is hit by player B, but player A is not actually knocked down, but in order to cause a foul by player B, player A falls down after being hit by player B. This behavior of player A is called flopping.Because the words for "diving" and "flopping" in English are both "diving", people always refer to diving as "diving".

Dipping, a common practice in the football circle, has become another landscape in football games for many years.Indeed, compared with match-fixing, betting, and black calls, flopping does not seem to be worth making a fuss about.However, as German Sports Minister Mr. Wolfgang worried, "Diving on the football field is fraud. Once the players on the field and the fans outside the field turn a blind eye to this fraudulent behavior and get used to it, the football game will completely change."

This is actually the most despised place for football players. In professional leagues, flopping is a very common thing.

In the 1998 World Cup, Argentina played against England.England were in very good shape and Argentina were expected to win.At that time, the slightly immature Beckham started with blond hair. He was hailed as the hopeful star of England.But unexpectedly in the game, Beckham became the sinner of the whole UK.The experienced Simeone deliberately shoveled Beckham to the ground, but Beckham, who didn't want to fall to the ground, stretched out his right leg and touched behind Simeone's foot.It was just a slight rub, but Simeone suddenly fell to the ground in pain.This diving won the sympathy of the referee, so Beckham was sent off with a red card, and England eventually lost.

In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Argentina and England met again on a narrow road.Every time the two teams collide, sparks strike, whether it's Maradona's one-handed breakthrough in the 1986 World Cup, or Argentina's exquisite free kick in the 1998 World Cup.But the English have always had a grudge against the "Hand of God".In the 1998 World Cup in France, the performance of Argentine captain Simeone made Beckham England's eternal sinner.

In the 43rd minute of this game, Owen was brought to the ground when he forced a breakthrough through Ayala and Vivas.The referee Corina pointed his finger at the penalty spot, and the Argentine players looked innocent.Slow motion on TV showed that it was indeed a flop.But unfortunately in the end, England scored a penalty kick.Argentina will not pass the World Cup in Korea and Japan.

It can be said that in the world of football, when it comes to flopping, it must be an abominable thing, but such incidents have never been rare. In professional leagues, if you don’t see a game with flopping, it will definitely be considered a friendly match.

And flopping has become the most abominable cheating penalty on the football field, but because the benefits that flopping can bring are enough to change the result of a game, many times even professionally reasonable players will be more or less suspected of flopping.
