　　The Fevernova's secret. Adidas says. is its radically improved Syntactic foam and uniqueknitted Raschel fabric.

　　Given that this is supposed to make the ball faster and provide the freekick specialists likeBeckham withmore power, it may not be surprising that goalkeepers like Buffon are unhappy.Spain goalkeeper Pedro Contreras said the bail acts "strangely", while Danish keeper ThomasSorensen admitted gloomily that it would probably result in more spectacular goals. "As agoalkeeper, you have to live with the fact that the makers create balls for the benefit ofstrikers." he said before leaving Copenhagen for South Korea.

　　But outfield players have also weighed in with criticism, many saying the ball is too light andtherefore hard to control. "It’s big and it's too light," Japan's Jiji news agency quoted Brazilianforward Edilsonas saying earlier this month. while striker Rivaldo said it soared too far whenkicked.

　　Journalists at the main press centre in Yokohama have been given the chance to try out theFevernova from the penalty spot, with the aim of hitting special targets in the goal. So far. fewhave been able to scoremore than five out of ten, although this may have little to do with thequality of the ball.

　　Putz. admits that the ball is on the light side of FIFA's 420 to 445 gram weight requirement.but says it is no bigger than previous balls.

　　The controversy over the ball also has an off-pitch dimension. Industry insiders say it maybe no coincidence that players from Brazil. sponsored by Adidas rival Nike, have been amongthe ball's most vociferous critics.

　　The same might go for the praise dished out for the ball by Beckham. one of the main playersused to promote Adidas equipment.

　　A) 這個球很奇怪，很難控制 B)這個球很輕，速度太快

　　C) 這個球會讓整場比賽更加精彩 D)這個球可以提高前鋒的技藝
