The news of the UEFA Youth Champions League organized by Moon Sports Services immediately appeared on major websites around the world after the press conference, which immediately attracted media attention and reports, and the next day it quickly landed on the pages of major newspapers and media in the world, and almost all newspapers concerned about football were reporting on this major event.

UEFA President Michel Platini personally spoke to the CEO of Moon Sports Services, Paul? Newman signed the licensing agreement.

After the most gloomy press conference, Paul? Newman also announced the 32 venues for the competition, including Ajax, Rennes, Sporting Lisbon, Marseille and other teams with excellent youth training, as well as giants such as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur.

And this time, Moon Sports Services has also specially recreated the logo and brand of the UEFA Youth Champions League, which is obviously a conscious act, in order to one day be able to distinguish itself from the Champions League, but for the time being, this event has to hold the big thigh of the Champions League.

For this move of Moon Sports Services, fans all over the world have given it quite high praise, and there are even many people who believe that if this kind of 19-year-old young player's event is well organized, the spectacle will not be lost to the senior team, because many senior teams are now more playing physical games, and the style of play is also conservative.

How to operate this event, Moon Sports Services has its own set of plans, but will not consider expanding the army in the short term, or the formation of the so-called European Youth League Cup, after all, it is impossible to chew more, and the most important thing now is to build the UEFA Youth Champions League first.

As long as this one event is successful, then the so-called Youth League Cup, or a series of other competitions, is it not a matter of course? And if you blindly expand now, it is not a good thing.

Paul? Newman said at a press conference that someone introduced him to him, and in fact this person was Ye Qiu.

When Mark? Warburnton and Frank? When McPalland hoped that Tottenham Hotspur could support their plan, Ye Qiu had an in-depth communication with them and asked them a series of information, and the final result was that he was very optimistic about this plan, and said that he was willing to support it vigorously and even invest money.

Mark? Warburnton and Frank? McPalland is not a rich man, they don't have any ambitions, and they have been preparing for two years, and they have not been able to find investors, so when Ye Qiu agreed to support, they immediately realized that the opportunity had come, because Ye Qiu's connections and financial resources in European football were well known.

Later, Ye Qiu recommended it to Paul? Newman, after all, if this kind of thing is involved in Tottenham Hotspur, it is not good, but it is Moon Sports Services, which is getting bigger and more competitive, and has enough resources and financial resources to run such a competition independently.

So now Moon Sports Services has set up a subsidiary to operate this project.

Experts have said that if successful, it will completely change the existing landscape of European football, especially for young players who are seventeen, eighteen or nineteen years old.

This has certain benefits for young people, but there are also great risks.

At the same time, this could greatly increase the mobility and value of young players, for the simple reason that if the UEFA Youth Champions League is successful, then they will form a transfer system similar to the existing European senior teams, and the mobility of young players will become more frequent, and the value of players will increase as a result.

Of course, anything in the world is good for you, it may not be good for others, and there can be no situation where you are good and everyone is good, so for the possible impact of this event, everyone maintains a wait-and-see strategy, but they are very sure that this is a kind of progress.

In any case, everything will have to wait until the UEFA Youth Champions League is successful.

However, it is clear that Tottenham Hotspur have done their best to prepare in advance, and as soon as the UEFA Youth Champions League was announced and the group stage schedule was announced, Tottenham Hotspur posted a booking window on their official website, and the match will be held at the Theorebold training base, which has a stadium with a capacity of 12,000 fans, and could be further expanded if attendance is hot.

Judging from the booking window, Tottenham Hotspur's Commerce Department has clearly targeted the potential audience of the UEFA Youth Champions League at teenagers, so their ticket prices are also very low, with senior tickets being £5 and children £2, which is really cheap compared to first-team events.

Tottenham Hotspur's youth team is strong, including Lucas this season? Mora, Pogba, Coutinho, Neymar, Nick? Players such as Powell and Raphael Varane could all play in this competition, after all, they are more on the bench and playing in the reserve team, and it would also help them if they can play in the UEFA Youth Champions League at a higher level.

Because of this, as soon as the booking window for Tottenham Hotspur's youth team appeared, it immediately became the object of fans' pursuit within a few days, and many people even bought tickets for all the games in the entire group stage in one go, that is, three home games, even if calculated according to the adult ticket, it was only fifteen pounds.

Heading into September, Tottenham Hotspur sold more than 7,000 UEFA Youth Champions League tickets in less than 10 days, which left other teams in Europe in the dust, as many of them sold less than 1,000 tickets, while Tottenham Hotspur's tickets were so popular.

As early as last season's English Youth FA Cup final, Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool, this game was arranged to be held at White Hart Lane, that game was all full, full, countless Tottenham Hotspur fans came to the scene to watch this game, and Nick? A group of youngsters led by Powell defeated Liverpool to win the title.

So, there is a tradition that Tottenham Hotspur youth team is popular.

At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur also officially announced the team's financial situation for the last season, and the transfer income was not included in this financial statement, after all, Tottenham Hotspur is now privately owned, and the announcement of the financial situation is just to let fans know more about the team's situation.

In this financial statement, the team showed all Tottenham Hotspur fans the results of the team's business over the past season, starting with the reduction of 12 million euros in player wages, mainly due to the sale of Yaya? Toure, Cesc Fabregas, David? Silva and several other core players.

However, in Europe, Tottenham's Champions League earnings have plummeted due to the team's final quarter-finals, which is relatively much offset by the reduction in player wages.

In the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur successfully defended the title, with income basically flat, not much change, and there was not much breakthrough in matchday income, just an increase of 3 million euros from the 09/10 season, which can be regarded as almost no improvement, which also shows the bottleneck of White Hart Lane.

In terms of stadium management and matchday income, Tottenham Hotspur is about 70 million euros less than Arsenal in a season, and the gap with Manchester United is about 70 million euros.

Attendance is not a big problem, mainly due to the capacity of the stadium and the lack of potential to be tapped, at least the rent of a restaurant at Arsenal is as high as 15 million euros a year, not to mention the ticket revenue, which is currently not available at the White Hart Lane stadium.

However, Tottenham Hotspur's commercial income this time is as high as 160 million euros, which undoubtedly greatly sets the highest commercial operating income in Tottenham Hotspur's history.

Compared with other teams in Europe, in terms of commercial operations, Bayern Munich dominates, they are 178 million euros, but their part includes the commercial income of the Allianz Arena, such as renting out to others to host some activities, etc., if this part is deducted, it is not very different from Tottenham Hotspur, about four or five million euros.

Real Madrid are €6 million less than Bayern Munich, Barcelona are €156 million and Manchester United are €114 million, and they would all be behind Tottenham Hotspur if they set aside the stadium's commercial income.

Manchester United's commercial income has not increased much, but this does not include Manchester United's new contract of up to 10 million pounds of training jersey sponsorship, and in the past few years, Manchester United has really not made much of a breakthrough in terms of commercial income, David? Gil ostensibly supports United's finances, but in reality there is little breakthrough.

It is important to know that Tottenham Hotspur's financial revenue has been creating new highs almost every year in the past few years, and teams such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona have also hit new highs, but relatively speaking, Manchester United has long lost the sharpness of the beginning of the century, and the current name of the Red Devils' business empire is somewhat unworthy of the name.

Also plaguing United are debt and interest, which they have paid £51.2 million in interest over the past season and have also risen by 36 in terms of player costs. 4%, so while Manchester United has done a good job of open-source, throttling is a problem.

In general, Manchester United is no longer the commercial hegemon of the past, but the value of the Red Devils is still quite high, but in the field of commercial operations, the old teams Real Madrid and Barcelona have performed well, but Bayern Munich and Tottena Amspur are undoubtedly the upstarts in this field, especially Tottenham Hotspur.

If it weren't for the stadium limitations, Tottenham Hotspur would have been the highest-grossing football club in Europe by now.

Tottenham Hotspur's record commercial income is mainly due to the sponsorship system.

BMW has re-signed a sponsorship contract with Tottenham Hotspur for an annual amount of 12 million euros, which is the highest amount of any car sponsorship in Europe, and it also reflects the importance that BMW attaches to Tottenham Hotspur.

In addition, in addition to Adidas and Qatar Airways, Tottenham Hotspur also has 10 lead partners, who pay 6 million to 12 million euros a year for the team, including BMW, Coca-Cola, Yingli Solar from China, etc., and 15 first-class partners, which pay between 2 million and 4 million euros a year.

There are also a range of other sponsors and partners, such as telcos in some Middle Eastern and Asian countries.

It is such a huge sponsorship system that has built Tottenham Hotspur's business empire, allowing Tottenham Hotspur to achieve such outstanding business breakthroughs every year. Kenyon's commercial team will continue to further develop and tap into Tottenham's commercial potential.

As a model of the Premier League's healthy management, Tottenham Hotspur has been frugal in spending despite high incomes, and player salaries are only seventh in the Premier League behind Manchester City, West Ham United, Newcastle, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, which is still surpassing Arsenal after the last round of contract extensions.

It is precisely because of this that many media have previously believed that Tottenham Hotspur has some financial problems, such as the team has never announced the use of transfer fee income, and the team has recently been surplus every year, but where are the funds used?

But Tottenham Hotspur is not a listed company, there is no need to announce it so thoroughly, and almost no one will believe that Ye Qiu, who does not receive a half-dime salary from the club, will use Tottenham Hotspur to make money, he is now worth an amazing amount of money, and it is more than enough to buy ten Tottenham Hotspur, and he still needs to rely on Tottenham Hotspur to make money?

Therefore, for the media bombardment, fans are more just funny, or curious, but there is not the slightest objection.

…………

…………

Tottenham Hotspur regrouped after a two-week international break to prepare for a tie against West Ham United at Theobold, while the team's youth team prepared for the challenge of Bayer Leverkusen's youth team, the first game of the UEFA Youth Champions League, was scheduled in the gap between the Premier League and the Champions League.

This is also the cunning of broadcasters, who use this time difference to gain attention from the outside world.

Claudio Ranieri's team learned the lessons of the previous two rounds this time, playing Tottenham Hotspur, even if it is a home game, the Hammers are still defense-oriented, actively playing their own defense in front of the goal, and then using the opportunity to play a counterattack to sneak up on Tottenham Hotspur, in order to be able to beat the opponent at home.

Tottenham Hotspur did not dare to underestimate this time, and sent the main force to play, visiting Upson Stadium, although the team was stubbornly sniped by the Hammers, but also very well withstood the defensive pressure from the home team, although the two sides played 0:0 in the first half, but the initiative and advantage of the game were still firmly controlled by Tottenham Hotspur.

In the second half, Tottenham Hotspur finally came to power, relying on goals from Cavani and Messi, defeating West Ham United 2-0 away and winning a not easy victory.

In this game, Tottenham Hotspur showed their steady side, with 57% possession, in line with Tottenham Hotspur's consistent effective possession, and 14 shots on goal were 10 more than West Ham United, but only five shots on target, which shows that West Ham United is still doing quite well in defense.

Ranieri is indeed a tinkerer, he is well aware of the strength of Tottenham Hotspur, as well as the free kick skills of Andrea Pirlo, Messi and others, so he must ensure the defense, but at the same time require players not to easily give the opponent free kick opportunities in the 30-meter area, especially the front free kick opportunities.

Remember, Pirloco is a monster who can kick a free kick as a penalty.

West Ham did a decent job of that, with Tottenham suffering 14 fouls from the Hammers throughout the game, but were denied a good free-kick and 12 corners failed to threaten.

Regarding the team's performance seems to have declined, Ye Qiu said in the post-match press conference that all this was expected by himself, "No team can maintain the best condition, especially considering that the players have just traveled a long way to play in the national team, so I am very satisfied with this game!" ”

Ranieri said that Tottenham Hotspur is now the best in the Premier League, and other teams need to work harder to beat Tottenham Hotspur, and he has repeatedly reiterated that the most important thing for West Ham is to finish in the top four of the league.

In this round, Liverpool lost 0:1 to Stoke City, and the Reds will also visit White Hart Lane in the next game, while Manchester United slaughtered Bolton Wanderers 5:0 away, showing their good competitive form, and Newcastle played a 0:0 game.

After the end of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Youth Team welcomed the youth team of Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen at their home stadium on Monday, sounding the clarion call for the UEFA Youth Champions League. Powell, Lucas? Moura, Varane, Nastasic, Phil? Jones, Pogba and others all started the game.

Tottenham Hotspur's group of youngsters, all under the age of 19, are in line with the experience of the tournament, but also have a lot of professional experience, and Bayer Leverkusen's youth team lost a miserable 7-0 defeat at Theobold!

This battle once again made Tottenham Hotspur's youth army appear in front of all fans, all Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to the scene were carried away, and all the media said that Tottenham Hotspur's youth team's biggest opponent should be Barcelona's La Masia, or Real Madrid's Castilla, or Ajax and other teams.

On Wednesday, two days after the UEFA Youth Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at home.
