Volume 1: Theory Chapter 32: Football in 2035 1
For a person or a nation, the generation of inferiority mentality has a profound background of the times, the elimination of inferiority mentality and the establishment of self-confidence, but also to have a profound background of the times, with the passage of time and the progress of history, China's comprehensive national strength will be gradually improved, national self-confidence will also be further enhanced, and the Chinese will gradually realize - "in football we and Europeans and Americans are completely equal, we have the strength to carry out 'copycat European football', we can even copycat out' European Football 2.0 Version'. ”
The development of any action must be gradual, step by step, even if according to the author's vision, if we want to carry out the 'copycat European football sport', we must do it step by step, and it must not harm the interests of any link in the football industry chain. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and it is necessary to ensure that every link in the football industry chain can obtain huge benefits, and the starting point of cottage European football is to make every link of the football industry chain gain huge benefits.
So, when will the Chinese realize the fatal negative impact of the national inferiority mentality on Chinese football, and the great positive significance of copycat European football for Chinese football? This is a matter of time, maybe in 2021, maybe in 2023, maybe in 2025, maybe in 2030, maybe in 2035, and the weakening inertia of China's modern century-old humiliation can almost last until around 2035 before it can be completely ended.
Here, the author assumes that between 2021 and 2025, Chinese can recognize the harm of national inferiority mentality and the significance of copycat European football, and in this chapter, the author assumes that this time is 2021, and the author will imagine what Chinese football will look like by 2035 if we start to play 'copycat European football' from 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 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 must 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 Zang Football Association, Yunnan Provincial Football Association and Guizhou Provincial Football Association.
The above text is only 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 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 unification system will also enable China to grow into the most incredible power in human history in the future.
The population of Europe is 2.5 times that of the United States, but the total economic output of a fragmented Europe is still only a little bit higher than that of the United States, and the GDP of the whole of Europe is still very much surpassed by the United States (the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020 does not know if this trend will slow down or cannot be achieved at all). Football is the world's first sport, Europe is the core area of world football, European football in the whole world under the development of the world, the football industry constitutes the center of gravity of the European sports industry, in this case, the total output value of the European sports industry, is not as good as the United States sports industry. In the annual 'selection of the world's top 50 sports clubs', the United States generally occupies at least 40, of which the NFL is stable close to 30, and the European football giants can generally occupy about 7. It can be seen from this that a giant unified country and a huge single market are of great significance to a country's economic development and the development of its comprehensive strength.
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 big city with a population of more than 500,000, their psychological appeal in football is to demand that the team in their city become a top league team; For every megacity with a population of more than 1 million, their psychological appeal in football is to demand that their team become a powerhouse in the top league; For every megacity with a population of more than 1 million, their psychological appeal in football is to demand that their team become a giant in the top league and a strong contender for the title.
Moreover, in the country or region where a football league system is located, there can only be two at most '5 million+ population cities', why, because this is determined by the 'one mountain does not allow two tigers', a mountain, as long as there are three 'tigers' at most, after there are more 'tigers', it will seriously affect the 'ecological balance' in this mountain.
For example, to build a 'single football league system', in the area where the football league system is located, with Beijing, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang three megacities, it is already the limit of the number of megacities, with Shanghai, Nanjing and Suzhou three megacities, as well as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, with the three megacities of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, it is already the limit of the number of megacities, and one more will seriously affect the number of football league system' Ecological Balance'.
Therefore, 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.
The author believes that 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?
