Why is football like basketball, the referee puts the ball down and lets the players from both sides grab it? Please elaborate!

When there are unexpected situations in the game, such as sudden weather disasters: rainstorm, thunder and lightning, strong wind, the referee will whistle to indicate that the game is temporarily suspended, and then compete for the ball when the game resumes. There are also unexpected situations in the stadium, such as streaking, when the game is suspended and resumed, fans suddenly break into the stadium to compete for the ball.
