Volume 1: Theory Chapter 35: Football in 2035 4
On July 1, 2035, when you turn on the TV, you will find that the TV is full of sports stations and football stations, maybe by then, CCTV will set up a CCTV sports TV station or CCTV football TV, just a CCTV football TV station, you can have 5-10 channels, and each province will also have its own football channel, and some provinces will even have two football channels.
On July 1, 2035, when you turn on your computer and mobile phone, you will find that your computer and mobile phone are full of sports networks and football networks, and maybe by then, there will be dozens or even hundreds of online live broadcast platforms on the Internet, which are carpet bombarding you every day to broadcast sports programs, especially football programs. On the Internet, there are also sports chat groups and football chat groups everywhere, and the way people greet each other in reality and on the Internet will also be changed from 'have you eaten' to 'have you watched that game'.
On July 1, 2035, everyone in China is paying attention to every move in the football world, because everyone in China is an important actor in the football drama, as long as we can make the 20,000th of the population play in the professional league, then, China will have more than 2,500 professional football teams, which means that most of the county-level administrative units in China can form their own professional teams, and football will also go deep into the corners of society. And it has become a popular national culture that everyone is obsessed with.
Time continues to move forward and football continues to gain traction. In July 2035, Chinese football is still in a hot 'summer transfer period', just like the 'European football summer transfer period' that has been hot in Europe dozens of times. The more developed and perfect a country's football market is, the more mature and more mature the transfer phenomenon will be, and every year, blockbuster transfers will be born that people will never forget.
The hot summer is gradually passing, the new season of Chinese football is gradually opening, entering August 2035, the new season of the provincial leagues kicked off one after another, among them, the most concerned, is naturally the 'five major leagues of oriental football'.
In his prediction for the future, the author argues that by 2035, there will still be a significant imbalance in economic development in China's provinces and regions, and that unbalanced economic development will lead to the transfer of various resources from underdeveloped areas to developed regions, and the same will be true for football talents.
For example, the European economy is both developed and strong in football, so football talents from all over the world are running to Europe, and football talents from poor and small European countries are also running to the top five in Western Europe, so the famous 'five major leagues of European football' - La Liga, English Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 have been produced. Some other leagues in Europe, such as the Portuguese Super League, the Eredivisie, the Russian Premier League, the Ukrainian Super League and the Turkish Super League, etc., although there are also many foreign players who come to play, but these leagues are all supplied to the five major leagues, such as the famous Portuguese Super League top three and the Eredivisie top three, they are all star factories for the five major leagues to cultivate talents.
In view of this, the author believes that if we want to start the 'copycat European football sport', then, by 2035, there will also be 'five major leagues of oriental football' in Chinese football, which is what the author envisions: the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Qiong region of the Guangdong League, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of the Hebei League, the Jiangsu and Shanghai region of the Wujia League, the Zhejiang League of Zhejiang Province and the Shandong Province of the Qi League. The above names are all the author's imagination, and the actual name depends on the actual development process.
As for why these five regional leagues have become the 'top five leagues in Chinese football'? The reason is very simple, because in these five regions of China, the richest people, talents and resources will be transferred from the developing regions to the developed regions.
Then, by August 2035, the event you are most concerned about will be the opening day of the 'five major leagues of oriental football', what will happen after the opening, which teams will be the favorites to win the championship in the new season, which teams will be unfortunately relegated in the new season, and those heavyweight games will make you 'uncomfortable'.
For example, the match between Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the Guangdong League, the match between the Shenzhen team of the Guangdong League and the rival Pengcheng team (the name conceived by the author), the match between the Beijing team and the Tianjin team of the Hebei League, the match between the Beijing team of the Hebei League and the rival Shuntian team in the same city (the name conceived by the author), the match between the Shanghai team and the Suzhou team of the Wujia League, the match between the Shanghai team and the Nanjing team of the Wujia League, the match between the Jinan team and the Qingdao team of the Qijia League, and the match between the Hangzhou team and the Ningbo team of the Zhejiang League......
By September 2035, you'll have more football to come, starting with the '2037 Eastern Cup Qualifiers'. The Oriental Cup Football Tournament is a championship conceived by the author to be participated in by the football teams of various provinces in China, the copycat object is the European Cup, the Oriental Cup is divided into two stages: qualifiers and the main match, the main match has 12 teams to participate, the scale and format of the Oriental Cup main match will be completely consistent with the Copa America.
As for the Eastern Cup qualifiers, it is the author's conception of the 'European Cup Qualifiers' or ' The author envisions that in the future, China will have 24 provincial teams, 24 teams to play the qualifiers, which can be divided into 4 groups, each group of 6 teams, these 6 teams play a double round-robin match, through 10 rounds of qualifiers, and finally decide 12 places to participate in the 2037 Eastern Cup, and this system is quite similar to the European Cup qualifiers, but the European qualifiers have more than 50 national teams to participate, but only 24 provincial teams participate in the Eastern Cup qualifiers.
It should be noted that in the 'copycat European football' envisioned by the author, the defending champion of each Oriental Cup will represent China in a two-year international competition, and the defending champion can form a 'provincial team second team' to participate in the Oriental Cup qualifiers for the past two years.
For example, in the 2035 Oriental Cup, the championship was won by the Liaoning Provincial Team, so the Liaoning Provincial Team can represent China in the international competition from July 1, 2035 to June 30, 2037, and Liaoning Province can also form a 'Liaoning Province Second Team' to participate in the 2037 Oriental Cup Qualifiers. Liaoning Province will even be able to continue to participate in the 2037 Oriental Cup, and if Liaoning Province Second Team wins the 2037 Oriental Cup, then Liaoning Province will continue to represent China in international competitions from July 1, 2037 to June 30, 2039.
Of course, all this is just hypothetical, and if in the 2037 Eastern Cup, in the end, it is the Guangdong team that wins the championship, then, from July 1, 2037 to June 30, 2039, the Guangdong team will represent China in international competitions. As for why the author advocates that a provincial team represent China in international competitions, this is because, too much, a provincial team can burst out with the most powerful combat effectiveness.
In the future, whether all of China's provincial teams can participate in international competitions at the same time depends on the development of the times, but in any case, the author firmly believes that in football and sports, we can give relative autonomy to the provinces, but in important fields such as politics, diplomacy, military, and economy, we must safeguard the unity of the country as if we loved our own lives.
The authors hypothesize that the 2037 Oriental Cup will be held in Henan Province, and the authors hypothesize the grouping situation of the 2037 Eastern Cup qualifiers (ranked from front to back) as follows:
Group A: Henan Provincial Team, Shandong Provincial Team, Hubei Provincial Team, Guangxi Provincial Team, Inner Mongolia Team, Jiangxi Provincial Team
Group B: Guangdong Provincial Team, Jilin Provincial Team, Anhui Provincial Team, Xinjiang District Team, Yunnan Provincial Team, Gan Qingning Team
Group C: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Team, Zhejiang Provincial Team, Hunan Provincial Team, Shaanxi Provincial Team, Liaoning Second Team, Guizhou Provincial Team
Group D: Jiangsu-Shanghai United Team, Sichuan-Chongqing-Tibet Team, Heilongjiang Team, Fujian Provincial Team, Shanxi Provincial Team, Jiangxi Provincial Team
In the two years of the Eastern Cup qualifiers and the main competition, you will definitely be full of questions and pay attention to it with the greatest enthusiasm.
In European football, the first weekend of September every year will be staged between national teams, and on the first weekend of September 2035, in Chinese football, there will also be a competition between provincial teams. After the provincial team game, the provincial team players return to the clubs of the provincial leagues to participate in the provincial league competitions, and after the provincial league games, the next week will usher in a new boom in Chinese football - the Oriental Football Champions League and the Oriental Football League Cup.
By 2035, the Eastern Football Champions League (referred to as the Eastern Crown League) envisioned by the author, as well as the Eastern Football League Cup (Eastern Union Cup), will also become more and more mature, and the Eastern Football League and the Eastern Union Cup will naturally be copycats of the Champions League and the Europa League.
By 2035, the level of the Champions League will still be far from the Champions League, but it will be able to reach the level of the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Libertadores, which is also a very huge improvement for Chinese football.
The teams participating in the Champions League come from the outstanding clubs of China's provincial leagues, among them, there are more teams in the 'five major leagues of oriental football', and they are the strongest contenders for the championship of the Eastern Championship League, which is also like the Champions League, the champions of the Champions League, basically from the five major league teams, especially after entering 2010, it is becoming more and more difficult for non-five major league teams to touch the threshold of the Champions League.
The authors envisage that in the 2035-36 season, a total of 32 teams will participate in the Eastern Championship League, of which 18 teams from the 'Big Five Leagues of Eastern Football':
Guangdong League: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Pengcheng (envisage Shenzhen team), Xiang. harbor
Hebei League: Beijing, Shuntian (envisage Beijing team), Tianjin, Shijiazhuang
Wu League: Shanghai, Renshan (Shanghai team is envisaged), Suzhou, Nanjing
Zhejiang League: Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou
Qijia League: Qingdao, Jinan, Yantai
The author envisages a list of all teams participating in the 2035-36 Eastern Crown League:
Group A: Guangzhou, Suzhou, Shenyang, Kunming
Group B: Suncheon, Heung. Hong Kong, Wenzhou, Taiyuan
Group C: Jinan, Tianjin, Chengdu, Changchun
Group D: Renshan, Rongcheng, Shijiazhuang, Nanning
Group E: Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Harbin
Group F: Beijing, Nanjing, Xi'an, Chongqing
Group G: Pengcheng, Dalian, Hefei, Hankou
Group H: Shanghai, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Yantai
The above text is only the author's personal imagination, and every reader can also imagine the future of football in his or her own mind. How big the heart is, how big the stage is, and everyone in their own hearts can imagine playing on the big stage of the earth, or even the big stage of the universe.
With the 2035-36 Eastern Championship season kicking off, Chinese football has gradually entered a period of stable upsurge, whether it is the number of people who watch the game on the spot, or in front of the TV, computer and mobile phone, the number of people who dare not imagine any country.
The author envisages that by 2035, if China can have more than 2,500 professional teams and about 70,000 professional players, then, by then, the number of spectators who come to watch the game every week in China will reach 15 million to 20 million, and the number of people watching the game in the media will reach at least 500 million.
The wheel of time continues to run non-stop, when the time comes to mid to late May 2036, the provincial leagues of Chinese football are nearing the end, and the provincial league giants have fought for the championship, and at the end of May and early June, Chinese football ushered in the ultimate PK of football clubs - the Champions League Finals, the author envisions that by then, the Champions League will be the same as the current Champions League, and will be the same as the current NFL finals of the American Spring Festival Gala. The decisive battle for the top of the Forbidden City's like 'Jianghu drama', and, because of the larger Chinese population and larger market, just a Champions League finals, the sensation that can be caused and the benefits received will far exceed the Champions League finals, and far exceed the NFL finals of the Spring Festival Gala in the United States.
The wheel of time will continue to move forward, year after year, century after century, millennium after millennium............ This is true in 2035, 2036, 2040, 2050, 2075, and 2100............ Many problems are just a matter of time, the author believes that when the accumulation of time reaches a certain level, Chinese football will be able to become 'European football version 2.0', and even, it may be 'European football version 3.0'!
