Football, about the history of Brazil.

Brazilian football originated in England. 1863, the Football Association was established in Britain. Later, a young man from Brazil went to study in Britain and returned home with two footballs and a code. Soon, football spread all over Brazil. 1933, Brazil began to form a professional football team. 1938, the Brazilian football team won the third place in the World Cup, thus making a name for itself. The World Cup was suspended due to World War II, and it was not until 1950 that the game was resumed and Brazil was elected as the host country. In order to host the 4th World Cup, Brazil built a large football stadium in Rio de Janeiro, namely Maracana Stadium. The official name of Maracana Stadium is Little Mario Stadium, which is named in memory of the journalist Little Mario who made great contributions to the stadium construction. This place was originally called Maracana, hence the name of the stadium. More than half of the top ten football fields in the world today are in Brazil. Among them, the so-called world's largest Maracana football stadium was built in 1950. The stadium is oval, with a perimeter of 940m and a stand height of 312 m. * * has155,000 seats and 300 boxes, which can accommodate up to 200,000 people. It is said that when the Maracana Stadium was first built. Not as big as it is now, it was once surpassed by the Mexican football field, and the Brazilians were not willing to take the second place, so they expanded the stadium and regained the honor of "the world's first". Maracana Stadium is magnificent in appearance and fully equipped internally. It has five broadcast rooms, five TV relay rooms, 220 speakers, 1 10 telephone extension, 75 clocks and 70 alarms. In addition, there are 46 canteens, a restaurant, athletes' dormitories, dressing rooms, wards, massage rooms, muscle therapy, showers and other facilities. In addition, there are dozens of men's and women's toilets. In order to prevent fans from being too enthusiastic or running into the stadium to make trouble, there is a moat around the middle venue to separate the stadium from the stands. More than 6000 cars can be parked in the big square outside the football stadium. There is a monument at the entrance of the main entrance of the football field, which is engraved with "the most beautiful ball in the history of Maracana". This is to commemorate the ball king Bailey who took the ball from the team's restricted area in a game in 196 1 and went straight to the opponent's goal to shoot into the net after layers of tackles by seven opponents. Eight years later, in this stadium, Brazil played against Yugoslavia, and Pele scored his first1000th goal since he participated in the competition. This is an unprecedented record among world football players. After that, he said goodbye to Brazil. The football has Bailey's signature, which is collected in the Sports Memorial Hall in Brazil. 198 1 year, the ball mysteriously disappeared, causing a sensation throughout the country. The police investigated everywhere and finally found it in an indoor swimming pool in Rio de Janeiro. Now, in this football field, visitors can also see the pair of football shoes that Bailey wore when he scored the 1000 th goal, and the chair that Bailey sat in with an oxygen mask at halftime. 1970, Maracana Stadium is an unprecedented event. This year, Maracana Stadium hosted 2 14 games, with an average of 4 games per week. Every Sunday, the whole city is decorated with colorful and festive atmosphere. Cars, windows, cheerleaders' backs and streets are all decorated with the representative colors of each team. The scene of the competition was even more lively. The cheerleaders kept shouting rhythmically, and the enthusiasm of the audience was also affected by the competition. Sometimes they waved colorful flags and sometimes they cheered and jumped. After the game, people danced samba to celebrate the victory. For more than 40 years, Maracana Stadium has greatly promoted the popularization and improvement of Brazilian football, thus enabling Brazil to win the World Cup for many times. Brazil is recognized as a football kingdom in the world. The glory of football and the normal operation of the league depend mainly on the law. Brazilian football was professionalized in 1933. At present, the direct leading organization of Brazilian football management is Brazilian National Football Association (CBF). In addition, every city and state has a local football association. CBF is responsible for managing Brazil's national football league and national teams at all levels, and local football associations are responsible for managing local leagues. Although the Brazilian Ministry of Sports has the right to guide and advise CBF, the actual power in the field of football is in the hands of CBF. Football clubs in Brazil are currently taking the road of marketization and transforming into "enterprise clubs". Usually, the club has the right to decide on matters such as player management, ticket sales and sponsorship, but it needs to negotiate with football associations at all levels in terms of TV broadcast and schedule arrangement. Clubs with their own stadiums also have the right to manage the stadiums. There are sports arbitration courts at all levels in Brazil, which are responsible for making judicial or administrative judgments on various problems and disputes in professional leagues. The arbitration court is composed of five senior judges, which is legal, independent and authoritative. Over the past 70 years, there have been problems in the management of domestic football in Brazil. The main contradiction is that the marketization of clubs is not standardized, the bureaucratic style of football associations at all levels is strong, and the relationship between the government, clubs and football associations is not smooth. Except for a few big-name clubs, most Brazilian clubs can't make ends meet, players' salaries are low, club facilities are outdated, and a large number of excellent players leave. However, Mr. Niton, assistant to the Brazilian sports minister, told reporters that these problems in the development of football are being gradually solved under the leadership and supervision of the Ministry of Sports.

Brazilian Football Association was founded in 19 14, and joined FIFA in 1923.

By 2002, Brazil entered the World Cup finals for the first time 17. Brazil is the only team in the world that has participated in previous World Cup finals. Since the 1930 World Cup, Brazilians have never missed a World Cup, which is a unique record in world football. "Ball King" Bailey said that the World Cup without Brazil is unimaginable.

Brazil is also the only team in the world that has won the World Cup five times. In addition, Brazil won the runner-up twice and the third place twice with a score of 1, making it the best team in the history of the World Cup. By 1998, Brazil has reached the World Cup finals six times and tied with Germany.

1950, Brazil hosted the World Cup for the first time and the only World Cup held in Brazil. In this competition, Brazil successfully reached the final, but unexpectedly lost to Uruguay by 1: 2 in the final. 1958, Brazil won the World Cup for the first time in Sweden. Pele and Garrincha, who were only 17 years old at that time, made great contributions to Brazil's championship. 1962, Brazil successfully defended its title in the World Cup held in Chile. 1970, Brazil won the championship in Mexico for the third time. Players Didi, Wawa, Garrincha, Arsenio and Pele have become legends. 1994 The World Cup was held in America. Brazil won the World Cup for the fourth time after beating Italy, becoming the first country to win the World Cup for four times. Brazil also won the Fair Play Award and the Feast for the Eyes Award in this World Cup.

Since Scolari, who is famous for his pragmatic style, became the head coach of the Brazilian national team, it has been difficult for the Brazilian team as a whole to see the light and elegant style of South American football. Except for the occasional pleasing performance of individual players on the spot, the overall level of the Brazilian team seems to have declined. Scolari's football philosophy is to win, and he can keep fouling. As long as the ball is played well, it doesn't matter if it is ugly. Fans who love Brazilian football may be disappointed with the World Cup, because the Brazilian team they are familiar with is gone forever.

Brazil is a representative of technical play, with good personal skills and strong individual combat ability.

Famous players in Brazilian history are: Pele, Garrincha, Didi, Wawa, Zico, Fa Erkao, Socrates, romario, Bei Beituo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka Ronaldinho. Among them, Pele is the undisputed greatest player of all time.

Traditional uniforms: yellow shirts with green stripes, blue shorts and socks with green stripes on a white background.
