Chapter 21 The Club World Cup, which was born a year earlier

If youth training is equivalent to the kindergarten enlightenment stage in the education system, then a professional player's work contract represents the equivalent of entering the primary school stage, playing in the highest level of domestic league is equivalent to the player completing 6 years of secondary school study, and being selected for the national team is the success of the college entrance examination after 12 years of hard work.

Just like college students in reality, some people stop continuing to study and progress after finishing college, while some people choose to go to graduate school. In the world of football, a postgraduate degree is all about being able to go to Europe's top five leagues to further prove yourself.

Doctors are those players who have won the five major league titles and can shine in the Champions League. Every player has a common ultimate goal, the Champions League and the World Cup, and if you can achieve one of these two goals, you will be equivalent to finishing your postdoc and truly standing on top of the world.

This metaphor is actually quite vivid, so think about it, in reality, our world ranking is equivalent to three colleges at best. Haha, a group of scumbags ran outside to PK with other scholars, purely looking for abuse! (In reality, the national football team during the Asian qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup is probably barely a junior college?) As a result, the head coach is still a teacher at the level of a secondary school.... )

Well, if football and basketball are also examined, I can guarantee that Brazil, Italy, Germany, and Argentina will be a hammer! Kick them 19:0 in minutes!

In fact, there was a template for such a game in the previous life, the intercontinental competition between clubs in the 90s was mainly the Toyota Cup, and in the new century, that is, in 2000, it was restructured into the later Club World Cup, but the number of places was too small. In fact, since the name is called the Club World Cup, it is better to follow the model of the World Cup and concentrate on playing within a month, so that the team that wins in the end is called the world champion.

Thinking of this, the boy picked up the phone and called Blatter, and on the phone, Lee Byrne explained his thoughts to the other party in detail, and it was almost a very detailed final version.

First of all, the venue of the competition should be applied by the country or city that intends to host the competition one year in advance.

Secondly, the participating teams include the previous year's Champions League, the UEFA Cup, the five major leagues and the Eredivisie champion, the Copa Libertadores, the Copa Sudamericana Club Cup, the A-League, the Brazilian League, the Mexican League, the African Champions League, the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League champion, the Oceania Champions League, the North American Club Cup, plus one special invitation each year.

The format divides the 24 teams into 8 groups, each with one qualifying spot. The 8 teams in Europe are fixed in Pot 1, the 5 teams in South America and the AFC Champions League and the Super League champions are in Pot 2, and the Super League runners-up and the remaining 7 teams are in Pot 3. The rest of the tournament is the same as the current World Cup.

The competition starts on June 1 every year, ends the group stage on the 12th, the 1/8 finals on the 14th, the 1/4 finals on the 18th, the semi-finals on the 22nd, and the final on the 26th.

In addition to this, the teenager also chatted with Blatter at length about the sponsorship of the competition. In the end, in addition to paying 25% of the proceeds from the sale of the magic box during the event, Rice Sporting Goods paid an additional $400 million a year to become the main sponsor of the event for the first 10 years. The contract stipulates that the official exposure of other sporting goods brands shall not exceed 40% except for the clubs they have a relationship with.That is to say, suppose there are a total of 100 advertisements for football equipment in the Club World Cup, such as footballs, sneakers, jerseys and other products, of which 60 times are Rice products, and other Adi, Nike, Umbro, etc., and the remaining 40 times you look at the score yourself. Anyway, other categories of products don't matter, it's aimed at you "big enterprises" in the sporting goods industry, which is clearly to seize the market, and you can also get a magic box to share it with FIFA.

Brattdo is shrewd, and he's a good hand at making money. To say that this Toyota Cup is jointly organized by UEFA and South American Football Confederation, and is exclusively sponsored by Toyota in Japan, FIFA could not intervene at all. Now Lee Burn has given such a good idea, just Rice's side can benefit a lot from FIFA every year, except for this main sponsor, people Lee Burn didn't say that his $400 million plus 1/4 of the income of this event's magic box product is exclusive, Blatter thinks this guy is interesting enough. In addition to Adinaike's companies, other companies are also welcome to advertise, just pay for it!

As soon as this event comes out, what kind of Toyota Cup are you, go wash and sleep! We're not afraid that UEFA won't agree, one is that it's real money, and it's just a little bit of leakage. Besides, Curly Hair has a say in Europe.

So Blatter immediately agreed! This bad old man, Li Byrne can feel how excited he is through the phone, and he estimates that Blatter is now eager to find a few waves of aliens who can play football and engage in the Hammer World Cup! Isn't the Solar Cup or the Milky Way Cup fragrant? It's exciting to think about! In the first game of the semifinals, Real Madrid played against Alien United, and in the other game, AC Milan went to E.T United, and one game could earn 1 billion US dollars!

The question of the Club World Cup, it took Lee Bern less than 1 hour to conquer M

Bu Dun Er Dun Er. In fact, the teenager himself is also very excited, according to the current pattern of Asian football, in addition to the Chinese Super League championship and runner-up, basically the AFC Champions League must have a place in China at least 3 years, so that according to the development of the previous life, 81-83 This wave does not have any special potential players The embarrassing stage can also be transitioned, Nakamura Shunsuke or something is talented, and you are blind if you don't have such a good platform. Our Lu Feng of Henan Jianye plays in the Champions League Youth League every day, and you Nakamura Gou is in the J League, is there a comparison?

Talented? Don't force it, do you think the Super League team buys Asian foreign countries to buy those over 25 years old who have immediate combat power, or buy you stunned youths? Look, even if you are only 25 years old, at best, you will only have two World Cups, and at present, the entire Chinese Super League, South Korean internationals and together have not made up enough 11 people, which is incomparable.

In addition to the excitement, the teenager didn't care that it was just half past 4 o'clock in the morning in China, and a few calls were dialed out, Lao Cai from the Football Association, and Lao Fan from the players' union, Lao Maoer, the king of the club league. A small goal of 100 million. Jian Lin, Xu . Jin Yuan Football. Jiayin and the others were all dragged up from the bed by the teenager, crackling and saying.

1 hour later, the teenager watched the QQ group excitedly send messages to everyone and fell asleep satisfied.

Lao Cai, Fan Zhiyi, Su Maozhen, Yi Jianlin, Jin Jiayin, Peng Lao Er Collective ?????
