The Relationship between Football Match and Meteorology

Sports activities are almost always related to meteorological conditions. As an outdoor sport, football cannot be separated from the meteorological environment. Not to mention the direct influence of sunny and rainy weather on the game, but also the pressure factor has a great influence on the game. According to expert research, athletes' running ability and shooting strength are obviously weakened under low pressure. The 13 World Cup was held in Mexico on the plateau. Only scored 132 goals in all 52 games, averaging 2.54 goals per game, the lowest in previous World Cups. This is not unrelated to the plateau depression.

Bad weather often encountered in football matches includes rain, snow and high temperature. African countries are located in many tropical zones and naturally adapt to the competition at high temperatures. For example, in the 13 World Cup, Morocco braved the high temperature of 32℃ in Monterrey and drew with Poland, the third runner-up in the 12 World Cup. Another example is Cameroon's 2:/kloc-0 victory over Romania in the afternoon heat. In these two games, experts say that God is helping African teams.

Southeast Asian countries are naturally more suitable for fighting in the rain because of the rain. In the Asian Group Match of the 23rd Olympic Soccer Qualifier, it happened that the match between China and Thailand, which was suitable for water polo, was raining heavily, and Thailand beat China with a free kick. At that time, the goalkeeper of China team was blinded by the rainstorm, and the ball was shot into the net by Pierre Peng of Thailand team, and China team was eliminated.

How spectacular it is to play football in the snow! 1987 the Toyota cup football match is snowing heavily and the stadium has become a snowfield. Two strong teams from Europe and America, Peroyal of Uruguay and Porto of Portugal, gave wonderful performances here. Although the cold snow and ice affected their technical movements, both teams changed the short pass to the long pass with big feet according to the climate. Peroyal's winning goal was that the opposing goalkeeper blocked the front and Bigfoot got it.

Almost all the strong teams in Europe and America can adapt to all kinds of bad weather, which is of course inseparable from their superb technology, good physical fitness and football awareness, but more importantly, the players' tenacious will. Like the Toyota Cup mentioned above, the Peroyal team overcame the discomfort of losing a goal first and then in the snow. With tenacious spirit, they scored two goals in a row and turned the defeat into victory. In addition, for example, the match between West Germany and the United Arab Emirates in this World Cup also encountered rain. West Germany attacked in the rain and the other side scored five goals.

In different weather conditions, the team should adopt different technical and tactical strategies. In rainy days, experienced teams often control the landing time of the ball by using the big-footed midfield direct pass and 45 oblique pass, so that the ball can enter the opponent's restricted area early to find shooting opportunities, and more regional defense is used in defense, because rainy days are not conducive to dribbling, and there are more high-altitude balls. In this way, as long as you grab the landing point of the ball and then spread your feet, you can achieve the goal of disintegrating the opponent's attack. However, in hot weather, we should pay attention to controlling the rhythm in the attack, that is, fast is fast, slow is slow, and short pass is often used to advance; Defensively, man-to-man tactics or intensive defensive tactics in the restricted area are adopted.

It is precisely because the weather conditions affect the offensive and defensive tactics of football matches that the weather forecast is particularly important. Knowing well before the game is naturally conducive to giving play to the technical and tactical level of the game.
