The Innovation Of The Socks
Socks are necessary both in games and training. Socks are mainly divided into socks and stockings. Socks are generally worn in training. Because FIFA requires leg pads to be completely wrapped in socks, stockings are mandatory during games, but professional players have invented a new way to wear them for convenience. Professional players cut the ankle of a football sock and attach the cut to the sock with a bandage.
So why do you do this? Kicker must have heard of "god socks", this is a special socks for the development of football, its main function is anti-skid, the whole bottom and heel are covered with anti-skid system, and anti-skid material and shape is different from ordinary socks, this type of socks is made of velvet material, different from ordinary silicone material, better increase the friction of socks. The reason why it is called god socks, is the use of double-sided anti-slip system, socks inside the same anti-slip system, very good to ensure the friction between feet and socks, socks and shoes, so that the foot is very good in the shoe bin, prevent sliding back and forth, but also reduce the probability of injury.
In addition to the convenience of wearing professional players, it is more important to avoid waste and improve the service life of socks. The god socks introduced above are difficult to do on stockings. The tightness of stockings is not very good, and once the ankle is loose, the whole pair of socks should be thrown away, wasting the friction system.
Now there is a new fashion for wearing socks in competition, which is very interesting. Many players have multiple holes in their socks. What's the matter? It turns out that the players are intentional, the purpose is to not let the tight socks put pressure on the legs, especially for the players who have just returned from injury, the body function of the athletes who have just recovered from injury has not fully recovered the peak state, so that to a certain extent, the leg muscles relax, prevent injury recurrence. Many frontcourt players also cut small holes in their socks. This relief may seem insignificant, but it is also crucial for speed players who often need to speed up their sprints, and tight socks can cause their calf muscles to lose endurance prematurely. So maybe in the coming days more and more players will adopt this style.
