世界盃之風吹至少林寺

A player stepped on the back of his teammate, who was seated on the field, to launch himself into the air and scissor kick the soccer ball into the goal.

隊友坐在地上，一名球員踩在隊友的背上，騰身至空中，用剪刀式腳法將球打入球門。

It was not a scene from Stephen Chow's famous film ShaoLin Soccer, but rather, an actual practice at the Tagou Martial Arts School in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province.

這可不是周星馳著名影片《少林足球》中的鏡頭，而是來自河南首都鄭州塔溝武校的真實訓練。

The team's 17-year-old captain Li Lin started the team a few weeks ago, taking inspiration from Chow's movie and the World Cup.

17歲的隊長李林在幾周前組建了這支球隊，靈感正來源於周星馳的電影和南非世界盃。

"I wondered whether the skills we've learned could help us play," he said.

李林說：“我想知道我們所學的技能對踢球是否有幫助。”

The team trained about four hours every weekend with coach Wang Xiaobo, a Tagou school physical education tutor.

球隊在塔溝武校體能訓練導師王教練的帶領下，每個週末進行大約4小時的訓練。

"They came to ask if I would like to coach them," Wang told China Daily. "I'm happy to see the boys get exercise because of their own motivations."

王教練告訴《中國日報》：“他們來問我是否願意做他們教練。我很高興看到他們出於自己的意願進行鍛鍊。”

Li, whose favorite player is Team England's former captain David Beckham, said, "We watch the World Cup on TV in our dorms and debate about the players."

李林最喜歡的球員是前英格蘭隊長大衛·貝克漢姆，他說：“我們一起在宿舍看世界盃比賽，還爲球員的事爭論不休。”

Asked if their team had beaten others, Li said, "Of course!"

當被問及他們的球隊是否打敗過其他隊，李林回道：“那當然！”

However, a Shaolin Temple source, who wished to remain anonymous, said monks are not permitted to watch games.

然而，一位不願透露姓名的少林寺知情人士表示，僧侶是禁止看比賽的。

"They must cultivate themselves according to religious doctrine in the evenings and go to sleep early, although they could acquire information online," the source said.

這位知情人士說： “晚上他們必須嚴格遵循宗教教條修養身心，並且早早睡覺，雖然他們可以通過網絡獲得各種信息。”
