In Russia, a new record has been set for the duration of minting a ball. Football records set by amateurs Football players' coinage records

Perhaps, sports and records are concepts quite similar in meaning and often intersect with each other. That’s why the famous annual collection of Guinness Records so often includes sports kids from stadiums and gyms. Not all truly great results are recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. Some record holders (for example,) have to wait a long time for representatives of the directory to check and include their achievements in the list of the greatest.

We have collected ten official amazing records, confirming that there is no one on the list of football record holders.

Juste Fontaine

Most goals scored in one World Cup

Today's football is still less sharp and effective than half a century ago, and therefore Juste Fontaine's record will probably last a very long time. The striker of the French Reims reliably imprinted his name on the pages of the Guinness Book of Records in 1958. However, the same way he scored his 13 goals against opponents. An amazing fact: Fontaine “shipped” the legendary devil’s dozen while playing in someone else’s boots. Juste Fontaine's own were stolen.

Hakan Shukur

Fastest goal at the World Cup

The experienced Turkish goalscorer was partly helped by his opponent to set a record at the 2002 World Cup: the South Korean national team in the match with Turkey immediately dragged the ball into their half of the field. The sluggish defender did not have time to pass the ball to the goalkeeper when Shukur, like a Turkish falcon, burst in and literally pecked the ball out of the Korean’s feet. When the ball crossed the goal line, the referee's stopwatch stopped at 10.8 seconds.

Ryan Giggs

THE ONLY FOOTBALL PLAYER ON THE FIELD
IN EVERY BRITISH PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON

In the latest edition of the Guinness Book of Records, the former Manchester United striker was listed four times! The legendary Ryan Giggs, firstly, became the only football player to play in every season of the English Premier League. That is, Ryan did not miss a single season from 1992 to 2014, scoring in each of them. There is also no player who has played more often than Giggs, and no Premier League champion who can match the Welshman's 13 gold medals.

Mauricio Baldivieso

Youngest professional footballer

At the end of the Bolivian championship match between Aurora and La Paz, Aurora coach Julio Cesar, put in a critical position by injured strikers, released his 12-year-old son Mauricio onto the field. The young forward managed to touch the ball three times, and at the end of the match he even earned a free kick for the team. It is known that defender Romulo Alaku, who cut down the boy, was booed by the stadium. And the guy made his youngest debut - on the day of the match he was 12 years and 362 days.

Paolo Maldini

Most experienced captain in the Champions League

The representative of the legendary football dynasty Maldini set a special, honorable record in February 2008. The great Paolo captained Milan in the match against Arsenal. Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records scrupulously calculated that when Maldini stood with the team to the solemn sounds of the Champions League anthem, he turned 39 years and 239 days old.

Pele

football player who scored the most goals in his career

One of the best football players in the history of world football, of course, could not pass by this list. It’s difficult to calculate exactly, but during his career the Brazilian scored approximately 1,200-plus goals, 77 of them as part of the national team.

Franz Beckenbauer

First person to win the World Championship
as team captain and coach

The legendary German defender achieved a “golden double” with the Bundestag in 1974, winning gold at the World Championship, and two years later, lifting the European Cup over his head. Who knew that there would be at least one more such double in Beckenbauer's career. In 1990, Kaiser Franz, as the player and coach was called for his merits and greatness, won the World Cup as coach of the German national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo

The most expensive football player in the world

It was clear for a long time that the great Portuguese would move from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Before the summer of 2009, only two questions remained - when and for how much. On July 1, a new record holder appeared on the transfer market, displacing Zinedine Zidane. The Spanish club paid 94 million euros for Cristiano Ronaldo, also securing the Portuguese an amount of 1 billion euros as compensation. Most recently, Cristiano broke another record that every blogger will envy. Ronaldo became the most popular athlete on Twitter - on

The record holder for the longest juggling time is Englishman Dan Magness, who set 5 world records in freestyle football from 2010 to 2016. Records and a wonderful video story.

Longest possession of a soccer ball in the Guinness Book of Records. In central London, Dan juggled a ball with his feet and head for 24 hours. According to the conditions, the athlete was allowed to rest only 5 minutes for every hour. Observers estimate that Dan Magness has touched the ball about 1/4 million times.

Another world record for possession of a soccer ball is even more impressive. The athlete juggled the ball in the air all the way between two stadiums, from Wembley (London) to Old Trafford (Manchester). The distance between stadiums is 210 kilometers. It took the athlete about 11 days to cover this distance while juggling a ball.

And finally, the duration of possession of the ball on the head is an incredible 26 hours. This guy with the vestibular system is just OK.

Alexander Arshin

The ball juggling time was 3 hours 34 minutes 47 seconds, which is two minutes more than the previous record

4th of July in Russia installed a new national record for minting a ball. It was installed by Alexander Arshin from Novosibirsk (a native of the Republic of Tyva). During the entire period of juggling, the athlete was able to perform 26 thousand 860 hits on the ball, reports ENV.

Alexander Arshin told ENV that he has been doing freestyle for 8 years. The athlete noticed that during the freestyle training sessions, ball chasing was present in small quantities. However, before this, the athlete set a personal record in juggling a ball - 1800 times - at the age of 15. “I recently heard about the “chasing challenge” competition from Sberbank and thought that I could try to score enough times to be in the top 25 and win a trip to the World Championship. Then I looked at the Russian record on the record website, and my goal became more global , than just the top 25. I thought in advance that I needed a socket for the camera and a flash drive with a good capacity. I prepared everything and went to the gym. On the way, I told a friend that I would set a Russian record,” the athlete commented.

The first attempt at setting a record, admittedly Alexandra Arshina, ended after 19 minutes. “I dropped the ball very awkwardly, kicking it a little higher so that I could rest between hits. After the drop, I sat for 3 minutes, collected my thoughts and proceeded to the 2nd attempt, which lasted 3 hours 34 minutes 47 seconds. From 40 minutes the neck made itself felt - for an almost motionless position. During the stamping, I did not count it, I was guided by time, on average 120-130 punches per minute, 30 minutes - 3600, hour - 7200. In this regard, the administrator of "Extreme Fitness" in Novosibirsk, who helped me a lot. every hour he checked what the camera was filming and told me about the time, for this I especially thank him. After two hours of chasing, I was already thinking about everything in my life, and I became bored after about 50 minutes. I was noticeably losing concentration. There were moments when I stopped understanding what I was doing. My legs automatically chased the ball, everything was floating around the edges. However, because of this, there were 7-8 dangerous situations during the whole time when I almost lost the ball. shin and, as usually happens, dropped the ball without realizing it,” shared Alexander Arshin.

By the way, the previous national record was set on September 18, 2015 by an athlete from Omsk Alexander Domoskan, who juggled the ball for 3 hours 32 minutes 40 seconds with a total of 19 thousand 778 hits. Earlier, on April 25, 2015, the result was 2 hours 16 minutes Leonid Zmanovsky(KhMAO-Yugra, Kondinsky district, Bolchary village), and on April 25, 2014 the record was set by Anna Zoshchuk from Moscow, the result of which was 1 hour 52 minutes 17 seconds.

Note that the world record for minting a ball belongs to Englishman Dan Magness, who hit the ball for about 24 hours without interruption, using his legs, shoulders and head. The approximate number of battings is about 250,000. The record was set in Covent Garden in London on May 1, 2009 at 14:00. Since that time, Magness's record has not been surpassed by any athlete.

For reference, chasing a ball is a way of juggling a ball. It consists in the fact that the minter prevents the ball from falling to the ground, throwing it up with the help of his legs, chest, shoulders and head. The tap is a basic exercise in freestyle football. Football players train agility and ball handling skills in the same way.

On the last weekend of July, the “Championship” is going to get into the Guinness Book of Records by organizing the largest exhibition match in the history of football, anyone can become a participant. It is expected that the meeting in Luzhniki will bring together about one and a half thousand football fans who will play in accordance with all FIFA rules, with the exception of one: the number of substitutions in the match is not limited, while each player must spend at least 10 minutes on the field and at least touch the ball once. The record currently belongs to the German pharmaceutical company Andreae-Noris Zahn AG: 920 players took part in the match, which took place on June 15-16, 2012.

Longest football match

The match that attracted the largest number of participants lasted about 33 hours, but even such a solid duration is not a record. The best result was set just a month ago by two amateur teams from the French commune of Kerbak. Two teams, made up of 11 field players and 7 substitute players, spent 73 consecutive hours on the field. The number of substitutions was not limited, and therefore reserve players received two-hour rest breaks. During the match, two players were temporarily hospitalized, but the previous record was still broken. The final score of the match is 475:473.

The largest football tournament

It’s one thing to organize an outstanding match, but another thing is a whole tournament in which teams will fight for more than one or even three days in a row. The amateur tournament Copa Telmex, held in 2011 in Mexico, occupies two honorable pages in the Guinness Book of Records. Firstly, the Mexican competition became the longest in the history of football: 10 months and 12 days passed from the first match to the final. Secondly, Copa Telmex gathered the largest number of participants three years ago. 201,287 people representing 11,777 football teams started fighting for the cup. That's how they love football in Mexico!

Longest ball control

From records set by entire teams, we move on to unique individuals who never scored at the World Championships or won the Champions League, but still entered their names into the Guinness Book of Records. It's no secret that one of the main football skills is ball control. Everyone who tried to play football, of course, tried to hit the ball without letting it fall to the ground. But neither Messi nor Ronaldo tested how long they could do this. And the standard today is the result of the Mexican Abraham Muñoz, who did not put the ball on the ground for 21 hours and one minute. During short rest breaks, the record holder clutched the ball with his knees.

Fastest marathon with a ball

The important skills of any football player are speed and endurance. Field players run an average of 10 kilometers per match, and there is no doubt that they would run a marathon. But no one checked whether professionals could cover more than 40 kilometers while dribbling the ball. Dane Jan Schröder holds a world record in this discipline. In March 2013, he covered 42 kilometers and 195 meters in 3:29.55. But an even more amazing record was set in 1990 by a citizen of Czechoslovakia Jan Skorkovsky. He ran the marathon in 7:18.55... while kicking the ball. Of course, the projectile touched the ground, but when this happened, the future record holder had to go back a few steps.

Best races with a ball on your head

Not everyone can complete a marathon, but almost everyone can complete a 100-meter race. Therefore, it is not surprising that even at such a short distance, records regarding masterly ball possession are recorded. Perhaps the most interesting of them belongs to the Englishman Daniel Cutting who ran his favorite distance Usain Bolt in 18.53 seconds while holding a soccer ball on his head. The record was broken in February 2011 at half-time in an English League Three match. Abdul Halim from Bangladesh also excelled at moving with the ball on his head, but he worked for distance rather than speed. In October 2011, he walked 15.2 kilometers without dropping the round one.

The most accurate passers

Finally, let's turn to another important football skill - the ability to make a quick and accurate pass. British Stephen Baptist And James Marwood When playing football together, they probably play lightning-fast “walls” at the opponent’s goal. The fact is that these guys are the holders of the record for the speed of accurate passes to each other. In March 2011, Stephen and James, positioned approximately 10 meters apart, completed a series of 50 accurate passes in 33.45 seconds. An interesting record in the field of re-passing also belongs to the Swedes. Thomas Lundman And Valonu Gashi, who passed headers to each other without losing the ball for 12 minutes 42 seconds.

The greatest height of a caught ball falling

But what book of football records would be complete without success in goalkeeping? There are similar ones in the Guinness Directory. British Gavin Henson And David Seaman During the reconstruction at Wembley Stadium they became the owners of an unusual achievement. Each of them caught a ball falling from a height of 102.5 meters. The game projectile was dropped from a construction crane, and, approaching the ground, it reached a speed of 137 kilometers per hour. Having hit the lawn at such a speed, the ball flew 15 meters into the sky, but the British were not afraid, and set an unusual record one after another.

The best climb to the stairs with chasing

It is unlikely that any football player often has to climb stairs while chasing a ball. However, the Guinness Book of Records also contains such achievements. Already known to us Abraham Muñoz, who is a recognized expert in coining the ball, once climbed 4,698 steps of an escalator without ever dropping it to the ground. However, the most extravagant record in this category is held by Iya Traore from Guinea. He, controlling the ball and walking backwards, climbed the fire escape, installed at an angle of 55 degrees, to a height of 21.5 meters. What people can come up with to become record holders.

The fastest way to hit a ball with your lips

Finally, we can talk about the strangest football-related record. Again we meet our old friend, this time Daniel Cutting, running a hundred meters with a ball on his head. It turns out that this guy actually has a lot of football talents, and one of them is chasing the ball... with his lips. Within a minute, the stuntman threw and caught a standard football projectile with his lips as many as 153 times. I wonder if Cutting wants to take the record for the longest kiss in football history. This place in the Guinness Book of Records is still free.
