2. The birth day of modern football
On this day, 158 years ago, October 26, 1863 (September 14, 1863 in the lunar calendar), the birth day of modern football.
On 26 October 1863, the British Football Association was founded in London and formulated the first rules of football, announcing the birth of modern football. Since then, people have used this day as the birth day of modern football.
The earliest football game formation was the "nine-strike-one-guard" style created by the British, that is, nine forwards, one defender, plus one goalkeeper. Later, the "seven-edge, three-guard" formation was produced, so that the offensive and defensive forces reached a relative balance. In 1870 Scotland created a "six-edge, four-guard" formation. Then, the British created a "tower" formation of "1+2+3+5". This formation had a great influence on the development of world football at that time, because it reflected the basic balance of offensive and defensive forces.
