China's provinces, or the integrated geographical area of multiple provincial units, can be said to be the most suitable region for the development of football, such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Jiangsu-Shanghai region, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao region (Hainan can also be added), Sichuan-Tibet region (can also add Chongqing municipality), Shandong Province, Zhejiang Province, Henan Province, Liaoning Province, Hubei Province, Fujian Province, Shaanxi Province, ......

Taking the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions as an example, Jiangsu plus Shanghai, the permanent population is about 105 million to 110 million, the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions are not only economically developed, but also the total economic volume, the total GDP of the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions in 2019 is about 1.98 trillion US dollars, surpassing Brazil, Canada, Russia, South Korea and Spain, and is very close to Italy (2 trillion US dollars), although in terms of per capita, there is still a large gap between Jiangsu and Shanghai compared with developed countries, but the growth rate of China's economy has always been relatively high. It is believed that in the near future, the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions will also be able to compete with the developed countries in the world in terms of per capita.

With a large number of population and huge economic strength, so the Jiangsu and Shanghai region has the strength to form a huge football league system, and the city system of the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions, for the construction of the football league system also has great advantages, the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions have Shanghai, Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Xuzhou, Nantong and other large cities, in addition to many economically developed small and medium-sized cities and small towns, a country or region to build a good football league system, has a perfect city system is also a very important prerequisite.

Not only the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions, but also other provinces in China or integrated provincial geographical areas, the same is true, the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions in China are economically developed areas, we look at a typical central and western province - Henan Province, Henan Province is a typical talent export province and 'developing province', even so, Henan Province also has a sufficient number of permanent population and economic strength, and has a very complete urban system, with Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Nanyang, Anyang and other large cities, As well as a very complete system of small and medium-sized cities, with population, economy, and urban system, coupled with China's unremitting efforts to promote football, even Henan Province, a 'large developing province', is enough to imitate Argentina and Colombia and establish a perfect football league system.

In European football, there are many world-renowned football leagues, such as the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, French Liga, Portuguese Super League, Eredivisie, Russian Premier League, Turkish Super League and Greek Premier League......

We can also copy out the same league: the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region can establish the Hebei League, the Jiangsu and Shanghai regions can establish the Wujia League (Jiangsu and Shanghai are the core areas of the ancient Wu State), Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao can establish the Guangdong League, Liaoning Province can establish the Liaojia League, Shandong Province can establish the Qijia League (the ancient Qi State is in Shandong, in terms of sports, Qibilu is more powerful and domineering), Henan Province can establish the Wei League (the ancient Wei State is in Henan, in terms of sports, Wei is also more powerful and domineering than Henan), Hubei Province can establish the Chu League ( Hubei was the core area of Chu in ancient times, and in terms of sports, Chu was also more powerful and domineering than Hubei), Hunan Hunan Hunan League, Zhejiang Zhejiang League, Sichuan Sichuan League, Shaanxi Qinjia League......

There is a world-famous European Football Champions League in European football, and we can also copy the same 'Oriental Football Champions League', the reason why we use 'Oriental' instead of other words is that the author thinks that the word 'Oriental' is the most appropriate. In European football, there is also the Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup, and we can also copy the 'Eastern Union Cup' and the 'Eastern Super Cup'.

There is a European Cup between the national teams of European countries, and we can also copy the 'Oriental Cup', which is participated by China's provincial teams, and we can also imitate Europe and copy the 'Oriental Cup Qualifiers' and 'Oriental Cup Finals'.

There are also cups of youth teams and junior teams in European football, such as the European U21 Youth Football Championship, the European U19 Youth Football Championship, the European U17 Youth Football Championship, the European U15 Youth Football Championship, and we can also copy the same 'Oriental U21 Youth Football Championship', 'Oriental U19 Youth Football Championship', 'Oriental U17 Youth Football Championship', 'Oriental U15 Youth Football Championship'.

There is also a European Footballer of the Year selection event in Europe, and we can also copy the same 'Oriental Footballer'......

In short, what is in European football, we can copycat what comes out, European football has developed for many years, leading the world in all aspects, copycat European football is the safest and most reasonable way to develop football.

After copycat European football and handing over football to the provinces for independent development, some people may ask, so what should the Chinese national team do? The Chinese national team can only be disbanded, and then the strongest provincial team will represent the national team to play in different time periods. Didn't I just say that we should imitate the European Cup and copy the same 'Oriental Cup', so that we can let the champion of the Oriental Cup represent China in international competitions.

The Oriental Cup can be held every two years, in the summer of odd-numbered years, and then which province wins the championship, which province represents China to play a two-year international competition, two years later, let the next Oriental Cup champion represent the previous champion to play the next two years of international competitions, the previous champion returns to China and other provinces, to compete for the next Oriental Cup championship, and so on, until it is permanent......

Some people may say again, how strong can a football team in a Chinese province be? Sending a Chinese provincial team to play in an international competition isn't that looking for death?

The problem is that China's entire national team has been repeatedly defeated in the international arena, and how bad can it be to send a provincial team to play in international competitions? No matter how bad it is, it is nothing more than the legendary loss to Brunei, Timor-Leste and the Maldives!

Besides, China's provinces must not be able to defeat strong opponents from all sides?

For example, the Liaoning provincial team, the Guangdong provincial team (including Hong Kong and Macao), the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei team, the Jiangsu-Shanghai team, the Shandong provincial team, and the Henan provincial team, no matter how weak these provincial teams are, at least, they can compete with the Thai team and the Vietnamese team.

As for the 'five mountains' of Japan, South Korea, Australia, Iran and Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team can't win in the first place, so if our provincial team can't win the 'five mountains' for the time being in the future, it is purely normal, and if one day in the future, our provincial team can really defeat the 'five mountains', then, doesn't this mean that Chinese football has made great progress?

Of course, I personally think that if we copy European football in all its aspects, and leave it to the provinces or 'provincial geographical regions' to develop football independently, then one day it is really possible for us to produce a 'European football 2.0 version'.

What does 'European Football 2.0' mean?

It means that the football strength of our provinces is stronger than the top ten football powers in Europe and South America, and I think it is very possible to achieve this, because we are a unified country, and even if Europe plus the whole of the Americas, they are also in the great division model, and the advantages of the great unified countries in developing comprehensive strength and football are much greater than those in the regions of the great division model.

Having said all this, some people may still ask: even if Chinese football must increase the number of professional teams and the demand for professional players, then we don't necessarily have to copy European football, right? We don't necessarily have to disband the national league and national team, do we? We don't necessarily have to have a province represent the whole country in international competitions, do we?

Those who ask the above questions may also ask: 'Even if the author is right, the strength of Chinese football is getting worse and worse because there is too much demand for professional football and professional players, so why don't we increase the number of professional teams and the demand for professional players?' When we increase the number of professional teams and the demand for professional players, we still continue to keep the Chinese Super League, we still continue to keep the national team, we can learn from Brazil, Brazil is not the national league system and the state league system at the same time, we can also make the national league system and the provincial league system at the same time, we can also learn from Brazil, from the provinces to draw players to form the national team, in this way, our top league and national team, that will not be strong to the first in the galaxy, the universe invincible? ’

In fact, the author has also thought deeply about this issue, a few years ago when the author first started writing this "Football Game Theory", the most important chapter was "Copycat Brazilian Football", not this chapter "Copycat European Football", but then the author found that we can't copy Brazilian football, we can only copy European football.

As for why, the author will discuss it in detail in the next chapter, and the next chapter is called "Copycat Brazilian Football? Please note that in the name of the next chapter, in addition to the kanji, there is also a question mark, which is not an ordinary question mark, this is a question mark with a very story.
