In the 1982 World Cup, Maradona had already begun to show his talent. Although he was still young and extremely depressed in this World Cup, it did not affect his display of extraordinary talent.
In a small border village in Heilongjiang, China, a man named Malawanfeng expressed his understanding of football.
"Your ball is not good. Judging from the sound, it's not a qualified product. In order to fully utilize our footwork, we need a qualified ball. Tell me, where can I buy a ball?"
"We definitely don't even have a store, not even the Dalinzi Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Probably only Holmoki has it."
Holmoji is the seat of Yanjiang Commune and is considered a commercial center in this generation. If there is no Holmoji Supply and Marketing Cooperative, then you can only go to Wuxian County.
Whether you have the skills to play is another matter, and whether you have a regular football field is also irrelevant, but a standard football is a must.
Even if there is no standard match ball, at least there should be a fully inflated football.
So Wan Feng planned to go to the county town to buy a football.
But there is only one bus here every morning, and it has already left, so I can't go even if I want to.
If we don’t have a bus, we can rent a car. This is the advantage of having money.
But neither Dalinzi nor No. 42 had cars, they only had tractors.
The tractor is not very powerful. It takes four hours to go back and forth from No. 42 to Wuxian County, which is more than 100 miles. The daytime is short, and if you waste another four hours in the county, how much free time will you have for strolling around?
We still have to rely on cars, and only the battalion headquarters has cars within a radius of dozens of miles.
The Third Battalion where the 42nd Company is located has a motorcade, which is idle now in winter.
However, the battalion headquarters is more than 20 miles away from the 42nd Company. If you ride a bicycle there in the cold winter, you will definitely freeze to death on the road.
The transportation in this place is too inconvenient.
After much thought, Wan Feng gave up the idea of hiring a car and decided to take a bus to the county town tomorrow morning.
Wan Feng had no interest in touching the deflated football. While they were playing happily, he took his sister to the company store to buy some delicious food.
At the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw the descendants of the Dongshan people in Daobei pulling two-wheeled carts towards Xishan.
They went to the mountains to collect firewood.
Wan Feng had no intention of pulling the cart to the mountain to collect firewood, but he had the idea of going up the mountain to trap rabbits for hunting.
Jin Xingbin's father now wanders around the mountains all day long with a hunting rifle on his back.
Go buy a hunting rifle and go hunting in the mountains?
It's not just about making money, it's also good to be lucky enough to catch some prey to eat.
This plan can be considered.
While the country still allows hunting, you should enjoy it. In more than ten years, when even air guns are not allowed, you will have to go to the game hall to satisfy your gun craving.
Yes, when I go to the county town tomorrow, if I see one for sale, I’ll buy one. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s nice to listen to the sound.
It is better to act than to think. The next morning, Wan Feng got up early and went to Dalinzi to wait for the bus.
There is only one bus on this line per day, going into the city early and returning home late.
Because it was the twelfth lunar month, many people went to the county town to buy New Year's goods, and Sijitun and Dalinzi were the two richest brigades in Yanjiang Commune.
The bus was almost full in Sijitun, and there were only a few seats left when it got to Dalinzi.
If it weren't for Wan Feng's extraordinary skills, he would only be able to stand in the county town.
An hour and a half later, the bus arrived at the bus station.
After getting off the bus, buy a return ticket for the afternoon. Wan Feng will enter the city only after the ticket is purchased.
There are several times more people in the county town in the twelfth lunar month than on ordinary days. The streets are full of people dressed like bears, and both men and women dress similarly.
Wan Feng’s purpose was very clear: to buy footballs and guns and some picture books for his younger brothers and sisters.
In the sporting goods section of the county department store, Wan Feng bought two footballs, but unfortunately he didn't buy a hunting rifle. It was so big a department store that didn't even sell hunting rifles. Even if you had a single-barrel hunting rifle, it would be fine!
There were no single-barrel hunting rifles, but there were single-barrel air guns. Wan Feng had no choice but to buy an air gun, and it was a low-pressure one.
This thing is probably really useless except for playing mahjong, but it's better than nothing.
After buying more than a dozen boxes of bullets and stuffing a deflated football into his bag, Wan Feng carried his air gun to the Xinhua Bookstore and bought more than twenty picture books.
After returning home, the comic books and football received warm cheers from the children in their circle. In the evening, these children didn't even watch TV and focused on reading comic books.
If you have a proper football, you should have a similar pitch.
The problem of the playing field is very easy to solve. In winter, any piece of land that has not been plowed in autumn can be used as a playing field.
There was a wheat field next to Wan Feng's house that had not been plowed in autumn. In the past, they would just find a flat area on the snow and put two bricks or firewood blocks at both ends to use as a goal.
This does not meet Wan Feng's requirements. Even if we can't build a standard football field, we should at least have a decent goal!
It took me a long time to dig a small hole half a foot deep in the hard ground with a pickaxe, and that was enough.
Get a two-meter-high wooden pole and insert it into the small pit. Straighten it and pour in a few scoops of water. In less than five minutes, the wooden pole will be frozen.
Then use wire to screw a crossbeam onto the two wooden poles, and a goal is ready.
The length of the field is about 60 to 70 meters, and the width is about 30 to 40 meters, similar to a youth football field.
There is the ball, there is the field, everything seems to be going as it should, but when the ball is kicked, it is not what it seems.
There was no such thing as fouls, handballs, or tactics. A group of people surrounded the ball and just kicked it around.
What made Wan Feng speechless the most was that when he was about to take a shot, there were four people standing in the opponent's goal which was less than five meters wide!
Can we still have fun like this?
"Stop! Gather!" Wan Feng roared.
All sixteen children from Daonan ran over and stood in front of Wanfeng.
"I want to tell you solemnly, this is not how you kick the ball! You're just kicking it blindly. A team can only have one goalkeeper on the field, so why are there so many people standing in the goal? And what's wrong with using your arms to block the ball? This is football, not handball. Can't you tell the difference between your hands and feet?"
These guys were laughing like moles.
"Everyone, stand still! Everyone, listen carefully! Seriously, I'm telling you this is how you kick a ball."
Wan Feng spoke a lot of football terms in a non-stop manner, such as forwards, midfielders, defenders, formations and tactics.
"Did you understand everything?"
"I understand!"
The answers were very neat, but it was useless. When the game resumed, nothing had changed.
Is this what they shouted so loudly? Do you understand?
Perhaps the only improvement is the goalkeeper. This time there is no goalkeeper standing in the goal.
