Why do Brazil and Argentina play football so well? Due to geographical reasons, 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 football match was suspended because of World War II. It was not until 1950 that the competition resumed and Brazil was selected 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 world's largest Maracana football stadium was built in 1950. The stadium is oval. The length of the stadium is 940 meters and the height of the stands is 32 meters. * * * There are155,000 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 in a game in 196 1 year, who took the ball from the team's restricted area through the layers of tackles of seven opponents and went straight to the opponent's goal to shoot into the net. 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. Today, in this football field, visitors can also see the pair of sneakers 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 driven by the competition, sometimes waving colorful flags and sometimes cheering and jumping. 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. This kind of ball is very personal, and fans inside and outside the stadium are excited about it in every major game. For many years, China's dream of football soaring has made countless fans suffer from hope and disappointment. This year is the first year of the Super League, and the competition is in progress, which also leads to thinking about the football management system. Many readers write to this newspaper, hoping to know how the football of the world's football powers is managed. To this end, this newspaper has compiled a series of articles for readers. Football is the mainstream of Brazilian cultural life. For Brazilians, football is a sport, but it is also a culture. Whenever a league or major domestic and international competition is going on, Brazilians often go to watch the game with their families. The whole city is crowded, and the stadium is crowded with people. Almost everyone in Brazil is a fan. Brazilians laughed and said that "people who can't play football and don't know football can't be the president of Brazil, and they can't get high support rate." Brazilians believe that Brazilian football naturally ranks among the world cultural heritage forests. Brazilians call football a "mass sport". Whether on the beach or on the streets of the city, people play football. Even in slums, children from poor families put their socks in paper barefoot and kick them as balls. Many internationally renowned Brazilian footballers started their football careers here. There are about 22,000 national football players in Brazil, and the competition is divided into national league and Brazil Cup. Brazil has a large number of football talents and a steady stream of excellent players, thanks to its system of discovering and cultivating talents. Brazilian football schools are spread all over the country, focusing on training children of 12- 13 age, and excellent coaches instill advanced football concepts and basic skills into them. All clubs in Brazil have hired a group of experienced scouts with keen sense of smell, who are "active" in football schools and competition venues all the year round, and have found outstanding talents and informed the clubs in time. After physical examination, testing and field observation, the club decides whether to choose. Brazil's national team selects players not only by skill, but also by discipline, team spirit and good character. If an athlete wants to gain the support of the audience in Brazil and gain a firm foothold in the club, he must first have the consciousness of loving football and the audience. He must go all out in every game, play his own level and style, and let the fans who buy tickets to watch the ball get spiritual enjoyment and satisfaction. Brazil is a developing country, and its people's living standards are in the middle, which determines that the income of players is also limited. At present, the average salary of players playing in the Brazilian first division is about 3,000 reais (about 1 1,000 US dollars) per month. The salary of players is confidential, and there is a big gap. The monthly salary of starting players is only 1000 reais, while the monthly salary of big-name stars is about 30,000 reais, a difference of about 10 times. No matter how much money they get, players train hard, study hard, improve their skills and never relax. Because they know that if they play well, their wages will naturally go up, and they don't have to fight for it themselves. The team implements the walking training system, and players can consciously abide by discipline and work and rest on time, and big-name stars are no exception. Romario, a star known as the lone wolf, has been abandoned by the national team for a long time in recent years because of his strong personality and poor discipline. 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.
