In this chapter, the author will make a big picture, and the author will imagine what Chinese football will look like by 2035 if our country hits the button of 'copycat European football' in 2021.

However, no matter what year we started copycating European football, we also needed to knock off parts of Brazilian football when we decided to start the early stages of copycat European football. When a person or a group of people have walked on a wrong path for decades, they cannot correct all their mistakes in an instant, because the wrong path will also form a chain of interests under the framework of the wrong road, and the chain of interests under the framework of the wrong road can never be easily broken, but should be resolved step by step.

Let's start to the hypothetical stage: let's say we start copycat European football from 2021, at this time, we will first reorganize the Chinese Football Association into 'Oriental Football Federation' (this is the name conceived by the author himself, other names are fine, and it is okay not to change the name); Then, we will establish and improve the provincial football associations (some provinces already have football associations), so that the provincial football associations can obtain the status of the English FA; The provincial football associations must absolutely obey the leadership of the 'Oriental Football Federation' (or the highest level of football administration in the country), and obtain sufficient independence and autonomy to develop football; Then, the provincial football associations are responsible for establishing the provincial football league system and the provincial team system, and the copycat object in this regard also takes England as the best template, although the English national team has a dismal record, but when it comes to the construction of the football system, England is definitely the best in the world.

The authors tentatively assume that there will be 24 provincial football associations in China in the future:

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Football Association, Shaanxi Provincial Football Association, Inner Mongolia Football Association, Liaoning Provincial Football Association,

Jilin Provincial Football Association, Heilongjiang Provincial Football Association, Shandong Provincial Football Association, Henan Provincial Football Association,

Shaanxi Provincial Football Association, Ganqingning Football Association, Xinjiang Football Association, Jiangsu and Shanghai Football Association,

Zhejiang Provincial Football Association, Anhui Provincial Football Association, Hubei Provincial Football Association, Hunan Provincial Football Association,

Jiangxi Provincial Football Association, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Qiong Provincial Football Association, Fujian Provincial Football Association, Guangxi Provincial Football Association,

Taiwan Provincial Football Association, Sichuan-Chongqing-Tibet Football Association, Yunnan Provincial Football Association and Guizhou Provincial Football Association.

The above text is just the author's personal conception, how to develop Chinese football in the future, the author can only provide a suggestion, of course, the author is very firm in his belief that the author's suggestion and the future development model and development path of Chinese football, basically will not be much different.

The author assumes a 'Oriental Football Federation' and 24 'provincial football associations', which is like 'UEFA' and a large number of 'European national football associations'. The great unification system will also enable China to grow into the most incredible power in human history in the future, so the unity of the country is worth the blood and life of each of us to maintain.

Let's move on to the hypothesis, let's assume that from 2021, China will start to play 'copycat European football', in the early days of this sport, the Chinese Super League will continue to exist, and the provincial football league system will gradually be established, and it will be important to note that if we carry out 'copycat European football', even in the era of the coexistence of the Chinese Super League and the provincial leagues, we must declare that "the top leagues and the Chinese Super League belong to" The top league of the Chinese Football League system, the top league teams of the provinces and the Chinese Super League are all the top teams of the 'Chinese Football League system'".

Because only in this way can we mobilize all provinces and cities to devote themselves to the development of football in China with the greatest enthusiasm. For every medium-sized city with a population of more than 500,000, their psychological appeal in football is to require the team in their city to become a top league team, even if it is a weak team; For every big city with a population of more than 1 million, their psychological appeal in football is that their team must become a powerhouse in the top league; For every megacity with a population of more than 5 million, their psychological appeal in football is that their team must become a top league giant, as well as a strong contender for the title.

In the future, the Chinese Super League will inevitably be gradually replaced by the provincial leagues, and the outstanding clubs of the provincial leagues will participate in the 'Eastern Football Champions League' (or other names) and the 'Eastern Football League Cup' (or other names) envisioned by the author, these two competitions are naturally copycats of the 'Champions League' and 'Europa League', and these two competitions are also the inevitable things that will appear in the football world of a 'continental-level region' or 'big cultural circle'.

If we start to gradually carry out the 'copycat European football sport' from 2021, then what will Chinese football look like at that time by 2035?

Since we want to copy European football, the author also advocates that if we want to establish the 'Eastern Championship League', 'ASEAN League Cup' and 'Provincial League', then, we should also learn from Europe and reform the league model into a cross-year competition.

In addition, the author also suggests that no football club in China should use the name of industrial and commercial enterprises, nor should it use the name of the province; Clubs can only be named after cities, towns, villages, communities, universities; Or use 'place name + competition', 'place name + sports', 'place name + youth' and the name, or use words that symbolize good meaning.

The naming of sports clubs by industrial and commercial enterprises is nothing more than to obtain profits, but this kind of naming is actually a huge damage to the football industry and the sports industry, and in this regard, we must learn from Europe and the United States.

Well-known football clubs in Europe, as well as clubs in the four major sports leagues in the United States, basically do not have the phenomenon of industrial and commercial naming, if there is no exception, perhaps the European Red Bull Group named Leipzig in the Bundesliga and Salzburg in the Austrian Premier League are occasional exceptions. However, because of the naming of Leipzig and Salzburg, the Red Bull Group has not been criticized by UEFA and European fans, but the Red Bull Group is stubborn and has always mistakenly believed that the title can bring benefits to itself.

Although the clubs of the four major sports leagues in the United States often change their names, for example, friends who are familiar with basketball know that NBA teams often move and often change their names, contributing to the basketball world the Oklahoma City Thunder team, whose predecessor is Seattle, one of the cities with the highest housing prices in the United States, was originally called the Seattle SuperSonics. The traditional weak brigade will be very arrogant in rejecting the huge amount of money naming rights of the rich businessmen, and the refusal of the naming of industrial and commercial enterprises will bring huge benefits to a sports league in the real sense.

In the football envisaged by the author in 2035, Chinese teams will no longer have the abnormal phenomenon of naming, because naming rights are also one of the scope of the broad game of football. Now why there is a naming phenomenon in China's sports clubs, it is because if the team wants to survive and eat, it must lower its eyebrows and bend its waist to deal with the powerful, and if your team does not lower its profile, it is likely that your team will not be able to pay wages tomorrow. And why don't sports clubs in Europe and the United States have naming rights, it is because the development of people's sports leagues has been extremely mature, and the rich businessmen and tycoons give some money, which is the icing on the cake, and if they don't give money, the teams will not be so poor that they can't eat.

Therefore, most of the phenomena in human society are dominated by games and money, and when a country's sports league develops to a more mature stage, the phenomenon of industrial and commercial enterprise naming will naturally disappear.

So, if we go from 2021 to 2035, what level will we reach in terms of the construction of the provincial football league system?
