How many people play football worldwide
Basic Info
One hundred people in the world, I'm afraid there is less than one person to play football, although football is the first sport, but think about it, the world's several populous countries football level is generally not high, for example, China, India are more than a billion people of the population of the country, but the level of football is very low, the reason for this situation is because although the population base is large, but playing football is too little, plus the United States, Indonesia and other populous countries are also similar to China and India, the situation. Indonesia and other populous countries and China and India are almost the same situation. Therefore, there are a hundred people in the population does not necessarily have a football playing conclusion.
According to FIFA data: the total number of people who watched the 2018 World Cup in Russia was 3.572 billion, and it is predicted that the total number of viewers for this year's World Cup in Qatar will reach 5 billion. And just recently the United Nations announced that the total number of people in the world has reached 8 billion. This means that more than half of the world's population will have stopped what they were doing to watch the game. It's a mind-boggling thing.
Why does football have the astounding and shocking gravitational pull to bring together the eyes of people from different countries, races and colours?
Why Football? This book describes the ins and outs of football and the reasons why people are fascinated and obsessed with it. This book will help you unravel the primal roots of why we play and love football, hate it but can't live without it.
Why has football become a global sport? The root cause is that every centre of football activity is similar to a primitive tribe. The evolution of human beings to this day still has tribal genes left in their bodies. And football has retained the most elements of the primitive tribal hunting scene.
These three aspects are the same for a footballer. To speed up after receiving the ball requires agility and swiftness; to run non-stop for 90 minutes in a football match requires endurance; and everyone on the field is glued to the football.
2. Two things are needed when hunting: precise aim and composure.
Athletes need to be calm before they shoot, and they need to aim accurately when they shoot.
3. A desperate prey poses a serious physical threat to the hunter
When a player is in possession of the ball, the opposing team will have no choice but to counterattack and pose a danger to you.
4. Hunting requires teamwork
A football team needs 11 men on the field.
5. Hunting requires tactics
Football also needs to design tactics.
2. tennis is intense but lacks the team structure of the hunt.
3. racing and skating speed sports. Racing and ice-skating sports have the ‘chase’ element of hunting, but less of the aiming element. 4.
4. basketball has running, but does not have the long-distance running ability of football, and is not as wild as football. 5.
5. Baseball has the original element of aiming, but there is too much static in the game, and it lacks the tension of a full-speed chase by the entire hunting team.
Primitive man hunted erratically, hungry and full. The lions on the Animal Planet programme would sometimes go hungry for days. Then people captured and domesticated their captured prey, allowing them to breed, as well as sow crops. About 10,000 years ago, humans settled down and became dutiful farmers. From then on, food was self-sufficient and there was a surplus to store.
The nature of hunting was not extinguished when we entered the age of farming, and the extreme thrill of the hunt was not matched by careful cultivation, so hunting continued and flourished, but not as a survival mechanism, but as a recreational pastime.
Urban sprawl followed immediately after human settlement, and to solve this problem, the ancient Romans came up with a solution: they built a huge arena, the Roman Colosseum. Challenging prey in an enclosed space allowed hundreds of people to come and watch. The largest colosseum could hold 50,000 spectators - about the same capacity as a large football stadium today. This was the beginnings of a football stadium.
The film Gladiator plays out this kind of story. There's also a scene in the Marvel film Thor 3 where Brother Hammer and the Hulk are fighting fiercely in the Colosseum, with countless people sitting on the sidelines watching.
One of the greatest advantages of football is that it is simple to understand. All you need for a game is a ball and an open field, and just about anything to act as a goal post.
When we were kids, we'd sprinkle some lines in the dirt, set up a goal with two bricks and have a good game.
To protect this simplicity, the rules of football have rarely been changed, with only 17 rules from the late 1800's to the present day, although there seems to be a bug in this rule, in that there is only one offside rule and no more in terms of tactics and strategy.
That's a lot of oddball tactics that can be pulled off with the guarantee of not being offside. It's perfectly possible to have all 11 players form a circle and slowly move to the opponents' goal. Or, all the players run back to their own half of the field, in front of the goal to form a tight wall. These two scenes are presented in the film ‘the richest man in the west rainbow city’ in which Shen Teng acted.
Early on there were teams that adopted some extremely bizarre kicking styles, but as the regular pattern of play took shape, the tactics on the field became relatively predictable. It wasn't mandatory, but players began to adapt to fixed formations and positions.
Violence, insulting and foul behaviour in football is also taboo and must not be touched, and those who do will be punished.
Currently, there are 14 mainstream football formations, including the familiar 4-3-3, 5-4-1, etc. 5.
From the players stepping off the bus to the entrance of the various personnel, the welcoming of the flag, the playing of the national anthem, and the tossing of the coin by the referee. And then to the post-game awards and parade, the whole city is filled with ceremony as it opens its carnival feast.
The football team also needs a star, they not only have exquisite skills, but also can carry the banner of the big attack when everyone is tired, when the score is down to pick up the heavy responsibility of saving the tide, in the team downturn to drum up the courage of the people!
The micro-badge is usually a bird or a wild animal, which is derived from the hunting activities of primitive tribes.

The ‘trophy’ given to the winner of a football match is a trophy. It is also displayed in a prominent place when it is won. Most trophies are designed as a huge silver wine glass.
This is because of an ancient drinking custom: ‘toasting’. In ancient Greece, the cup was a symbol of ‘getting respect’. To show respect to someone, the drinker would take a sip and then give the cup to the other person, who would get the cup after drinking it. The first sip was to prove that the wine was not poisoned.
In England, the tradition of passing the ‘Goblet of Love’ has always been present at large parties. The Goblet of Love is a huge cup filled with wine that is passed around the table and enjoyed in turn. The giant Cup of Love used at banquets is the prototype for modern sports trophies. 9.
The Coach is a bad job though, and prone to backstabbing. He is the most unstable position in the football tribe. On average, football coaches serve more than three years at the same club. Most coaches leave their jobs because they have been sacked by the board for failing to build a winning team.
The directors of the board of directors usually hold a significant percentage of the shares and have nothing to do with the technical decisions of the team, so they are also safe.
In the end the coach is left all alone and is not a lamb to the slaughter. If the tribe suffers a major drought, the witch doctor will take all the blame, and no matter how many times he makes a spell to pray for rain, no one will have mercy on him as long as the rain hasn't fallen.
The coach's strategy may be interfered with by the board of directors, who force him to do something he doesn't like, e.g. some directors may particularly favour a certain player, and they will keep on pressuring the coach to get a chance for the star of his heart, even though the coach knows that the player has obvious shortcomings that may make the team lose the game, but he has no choice but to do so.
The coach may also be treated with contempt by the players, with some of the best players on the team unwilling to co-operate or even go against him. As indispensable star players, they are not afraid to challenge the authority of the coach.
In addition, if a key player is unavailable due to injury for a long time, leading to the team's successive defeats, the fans will choose the coach as a scapegoat, and the coach will be greeted with the angry cry of ‘Get out of here!’ The fans will pick the coach to be the scapegoat, and the coach will be greeted with ‘out!
Last but not least, China is the birthplace of football. The predecessor of football originated in Linzi, the capital of Qi during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in China, and was first called cuju. Linzi is located in the present day city of Zibo in Shandong Province. It spread to Europe (Eastern Roman Empire) during the Tang Dynasty and developed into football in the modern sense in England.

There is a role in the tribe that is similar to that of a mage, who comes to ask for rain when there is a drought, and who comes to overthrow his people when they die. Why does this role correspond to the coach? He is able to use a spell to turn a dozen or so unruly and stubborn players into a group of fervent believers willing to dedicate their lives to the cause of the tribe.The Coach is a bad job though, and prone to backstabbing. He is the most unstable position in the football tribe. On average, football coaches serve more than three years at the same club.

Why do coaches become scapegoats?
It is not possible for a club to sack all its players, no matter how badly the team is performing. A club already in dire straits also doesn't have the capital to fire all the players and recruit a bunch of new ones to start from scratch. So the players are relatively safe.The directors of the board of directors usually hold a significant percentage of the shares and have nothing to do with the technical decisions of the team, so they are also safe.
In the end the coach is left all alone and is not a lamb to the slaughter. If the tribe suffers a major drought, the witch doctor will take all the blame, and no matter how many times he makes a spell to pray for rain, no one will have mercy on him as long as the rain hasn't fallen.
