When the next football championship is approaching, the girls sadly think that their men will fall out of their usual life for a month: they will sit in front of the TV at home or in the club with their friends, shouting not in their own voice after each goal and discuss these incomprehensible outs, fouls and offsides.
Of course, during the championship, you can do household chores, hang out with your girlfriends and take offense at your loved one because he has forgotten about you. Or maybe you need to stop sulking and get interested in football? And even go with your lover to the stadium to see the game for yourself?
What do you need to know about football?
Football is not just a sport, it's an art, it's an entire religion and philosophy. It can give you unforgettable emotions, incredible drive and a sense of unity with the whole stadium. To understand the meaning of running twenty-two sweaty men after one ball, you need to understand the basic rules of the game. In the meantime, you should remember a few rules of conduct during the match. So, what do you need to do?
Ask your loved one in advance which team he supports, and then use the Internet to make inquiries. Remember in what form the team plays, the names of the main players and coach. Each team has its own "star", the best and most beloved by all fans player. Pay attention to his sports career. Do not hesitate to ask your loved one his opinion about each of the players - he will gladly tell you everything he knows and appreciates your attention to football.
If your man goes to watch the game at the stadium or at a sports club - ask for it with him. Before the match starts, find out who your team is playing with and what place it occupies in the tournament, as well as it's opponent's place in the tournament. Find out where your team will go if it loses, wins or draws. During the match, you should not ask questions like "Where is our goal?", "Who wins?", "Why is the referee whistling? They will only irritate the partner and make you look stupid. It's better to keep silent and watch and ask to explain everything at home after the match.
During the match, it is better to do what your man and the fans' team do - shout rhymed screams, cheer up players and whistle if they disagree with the referee. After a successful goal, all the fans of the team start to rejoice and hug sincerely, even if they are completely unfamiliar with each other. Laugh, shout, kiss your man and hug those who sit next to each other - this behavior is only welcome.
Remember that the match lasts at least two hours. If it's a cold season, dress warmly and choose comfortable shoes. It is inappropriate to come to football in high heeled shoes and an elegant dress. But it will be very cool if you choose clothes that match the color of your favorite team. Jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, sneakers - that's the most comfortable clothes for visiting football.
Do not whine, complain, ask to go home or sit with a boring face during a match. It will not only offend your man, but he will be ashamed of you in front of your friends and fans. The fans become a close-knit family for the duration of the match, so if you can't stand two hours of frank expression of emotions and feelings, it's better to stay home right away.
Try to support the conversation about football, even if you don't understand anything about it: you can talk about near-football topics, such as the provinciality of the opponent's fans, the unfair referee, the police, who led the most zealous fans, etc.
There are 11 players in the football team, all of them perform different functions and are conditionally divided into 4 groups:
- Goalkeeper - each team has only one goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is of a different color from the other players' shades of form. It may touch the ball with the hands, but only on the penalty area, which is marked with white lines around the goal. Inside the penalty area there is a small goalkeeper's playground where only the goalkeeper may touch the ball.
- Defender - he helps the goalkeeper; his main task is to prevent opponents from scoring a goal. Defenders can be 3-4 people, they play only with their feet and stay close to the goal of their team.
- Midfielder - there are several of them on the field. These players take part in defending their goal when the ball is at the opponent's side, as well as in an attack when the ball is at the side of their team. They may themselves score goals into the opponent's goal or pass the ball to the attacker.
- Forward - such players on the field of play 1-2. They are focused exclusively on scoring goals. Usually, at the opponent's goal, kicks and heads may be used to score balls. Attackers are often distinguished by their height, unusual speed of running and high maneuverability. It is their successful goal with enthusiasm waiting for football fans and repeated on television.
Believe me, after watching or attending a match you will start to understand football quite well for an ignorant girl, and after a few matches you will be sincerely glad to see the victories and be saddened by the defeats of your favorite team together with your man - as well as read the admiration and pride in his eyes for his companion life.
