Football is the most popular game on the globe. What can I say if the World Cup is now being played even among women? What did he do to deserve such popularity? Maybe by its accessibility?

The legendary Pele in his memoirs describes how as a boy he knitted old rags, and they turned out to be something like a soccer ball.

Yes, indeed, if ice is needed for hockey, a tennis court for tennis, a basketball court with rings, then only a ball is needed for football.

Football is "chased" everywhere – in the yard, on the beach, in the snow and on the asphalt. However, a specific ball is needed for each cover. They can be divided into four groups. Professional (gaming), training, amateur, special.

Everything is clear about the first three types from the name, and the special ones have special characteristics. The material for this group is rubber and plastic alloys. Usually such balls are purchased for playing on asphalt, however, they also wear out quickly.


Made in Pakistan

Do not be afraid of this inscription. Believe me, but 90% of all balls are produced in Pakistan and India.
Every professional ball is tested according to ten indicators. Different sectors of the ball are hit with different forces, because it is necessary that the ball, while maintaining a certain speed and trajectory, hit the desired zone.
In addition, tests are carried out for wear resistance and for the ability of the projectile to restore its original shape after deformation.
A high-quality ball can be distinguished by the pattern. For good-quality ones, it is applied before stitching the panels. For cheap ones, on the contrary, the pattern is applied after stitching.

Material

Many parents, when buying their son a ball, want it to be made of genuine leather. However, leather has not been used in the production of most modern balls for a long time. It was replaced by a synthetic leather. A polymer ball is superior to a leather ball in all respects.

Cut

There are three main options for the cut of footballs.
The 32-panel is probably the most common option. Balls of this cut are played in most countries, Russia is no exception. It is sewn from 32 parts having the shape of a regular hexagon. The 26-panel design somewhat resembles the cut of a volleyball "brother". Such, for example, are played in the British Isles (Mitre balls).

The 18-panel ball is less common.
As soon as the ball was handed over, take care of it!


To begin with, the pressure of the chamber of the game ball should be somewhere between 0.7-1 atmosphere. After the game, it is customary to slightly deflate the camera in order to ease the load on the seams and panels. In Russia, football is played even in winter. After such a game, it is necessary to wipe the ball thoroughly and leave it in a dry, warm place (but not near the battery!).

Price

The ball is of normal quality (middle class) it costs at least $30. Even domestic leather goods cannot cost less than 1000 rubles. However, sometimes there are exceptions to the rules. A few years ago, my friends and I bought a ball for 500 rubles, and it lasted for two whole seasons. Professional balls cost about $ 100, but the price does not deter people who want to play with the same ball as Zidane and Ronaldo.

Brands

Four–layer Umbro Digital ball, material - laminated PU leather and latex camera.

The best ball of the company "Select", as the name of the model makes clear – "Brilliant".

Talking about the ball, it would be illogical to skip the "Roteiro". This is the first ball made using a new seamless technology, which has received the right to be called the official ball of the 2004 European Championship. It took four years to develop this hit. 1xbetkorea.net 은 암호화폐 입출금을 지원하며 일본 사용자가 비트코인 ​​및 기타 암호화폐로 쉽게 에 거래를 할 수 있는 점이 특징입니다. 이렇게 하면 익명성과 보안 향상이 기대됩니다.
