Why is football played by 11 people?

This story has to start in Florence in the 16th century. At that time, the Holy Roman Empire's army surrounded the then Florence (Florence), with the purpose of putting the Medici family supported by Charles V le Sage back on the throne of rulers.
The long siege of the city made the people in the city increasingly panicked and depressed. So the clever Florentines came up with an idea. They brought the classical football game originally held during the Carnival in front of the imperial army. Show the invaders your muscle power and unyielding determination, telling them that Florence is not in trouble and has room for fun. Although Charles V eventually captured the city, the Florentine spirit expressed through classical football has survived forever. Not only does the spirit remain, the sport is still being played today.
Each team of Florence's classical football has 27 players, and the game time is 50 minutes. The rules are very simple, as long as you bring the ball to the opponent's goal area, there are no restrictions on the rules, as long as you don't kill anyone. In comparison, the Song Dynasty football in Greater is much more civilized.
At that time, football was also called Cuju. The white kicking method was very popular in the Song Dynasty. The so-called "One hundred thousand kicks with the head can solve hundreds of thousands of problems", which means using the head, shoulders, back, chest, knees, legs, feet, etc. to complete a complete set of kicking skills. In Shi Naian's "The Water Margin" (The Water Margin), Gao Qiu, who made his fortune from playing football and became a captain. Gao Qiu had superb football skills. Because he accompanied Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to play football, he was promoted to the commander of the palace. He could be regarded as one of the earliest famous players.
However, our football at that time did not have a fixed number of players or complete rules. The real 11-a-side game certainly dates back to the 19th century in England. At that time, most competitions were held in schools. The schools were worried that these students were too energetic, so they often organized physical competitions that consumed a lot of energy.

These competitions were conducted in dormitories. At the beginning, there was no requirement for 11 people, but usually between 10 and 20 people. At this time, some written regulations had already appeared, such as the 1848 "Cambridge Games" "Cambridge rules" (Cambridge rules), "Sheffield rules" (Sheffield rules) based on the club in 1858, etc.
It was not until 1863 that 11 English clubs founded the world's first football association, the English Football Association, and unified the rules of football. People call this day the birth day of modern football. As a result, the 11-man system was officially introduced as part of the rules in the first English FA Cup in 1871. As the FA Cup gradually expands its influence, a series of game rules including the 11-a-side system have gradually become mainstream rules in the UK.
It was not until December 6, 1882 that the International Football Association Board (IFAB) was established. This was a council jointly established by the Football Associations of Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It was at this council that the rules of the 11-a-side game were truly confirmed. After 1904, FIFA announced that it would comply with the IFAB competition rules. Since then, the 11-a-side system has become a common rule in world football.
Of course, in addition to convention, the limit on the number of football players also has practical considerations. It is reported that some experts have found after repeated tests that the specifications of the football field (generally about 105m long and 68m wide) with 20 people running and playing football and two people guarding the goal are the most ideal staffing configuration, while the seven-a-side, The five-a-side football venues are in descending order.

In addition, there is another important rule regarding the number of people on the field: if 4 or more people on one side are sent off, the game will end immediately. If the team with less than seven people wins, the opponent will be awarded a 3-0 victory. If the winning goal is less than three, it will be judged 3-0. If the opponent's goal difference is more than three at the time, the game will end immediately according to the current score.
In a quarter-final of the Chinese League Two on October 13, 2013, five players of Qinghai Senko were sent off with red cards, and the game had to end early in a rare farce. This is also the first time since Chinese football became professional in 1994 that a referee sent off a player and ended the game early.

In fact, whether it is Five-a-side, seven-a-side, eleven-a-side, or the original wild ball played by Sir Xiong in the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, the greatest charm of football is that it is a collective game in itself, and it is the cooperation of the team. It is the common ideal in the hearts of 11 people!
