Football irons are burning

Chapter 141 Reform
On January 1, the Football Association also held a meeting to formally notify the reform of the league.

The Chinese Super League was formally established in 1999. There are 16 participating teams, including the 12 teams from League A last year and the top four teams from League B last year.

The second-level league, renamed China League One, has 20 participating teams.

Including the bottom 8 in League One and B last year, and the top 12 in China League Two.

The remaining teams, after review, plus the top eight in the Chinese Champions League, form this year's Chinese League Two.

The 1999 Chinese Champions League will also continue the current system and be divided into two regions, the North and the South.

However, the relegation system will be restored this year. The relegation quota for the Chinese Super League is three, the Chinese League One will be promoted three times, and the Chinese League Two will be promoted three times, and the Chinese League Two will be promoted three times, and the Chinese Champions League will be promoted three times.

Up to three down to three, this is the basic ups and downs system of the European League.

It is a positive sign that Chinese football is once again in line with international football.

That is to say, it is not possible to implement a multi-year league system for the time being. After all, China is too big. In winter, it is almost impossible to compete in the north, while the south has no influence. It is not easy to implement a multi-year system.

The transfer system is also in line with European standards. There are two transfer windows in January and July-August every year. In this year's transfer window, many teams have already known the inside story and acted in advance.

Li Tie's agent company has once again become an important player, and now the company has added more than a dozen people to scout players everywhere.

The recommendations for the Chinese Super League are basically players from the five major leagues. Some may be older but have rich experience, and some are unhappy in their original teams and plan to change their environment.

The more famous one is Balakov. The Bulgarian joined the Bashu club during the winter break and can play in the Super League in the new season.

Of course, his salary is not low, a full 2000 million RMB.

Although the Chinese Super League has become a nursing home, Chinese football can get a lot from it.It would be an absolute fool to play with Balakoff and still keep the ball up.

Helsinki striker Poulsen joined the newly promoted Jinmen Tigers together with his teammates Pearson and Kirsen.

At the beginning, this guy took the initiative to chat with Li Tie and asked to play football in China, and now he has got his wish.

The Brazilian veteran Dunga also joined the newly promoted Red Rock Club. He is about to retire. He originally played in the J-League. Now he is invited by the Chinese Super League team and wants to make a new attempt, so he came to the Chinese Super League to play.Joining him is the famous Brazilian striker Bebeto. This year, the Red Rock Club should be guarded against, as it has the potential to become a dark horse.

The Italian veteran Baresi also suddenly announced his comeback and joined the Songri Club. With him, there is also Schillaci who has no ball to play.

This reform has also become a milestone reform of Chinese football in this time and space.

There is no doubt that all kinds of positive signals show that the future of Chinese football is bright.

On January 1, the famous German sports brand Puma announced that it will officially sponsor the Chinese Super League. The contract period is ten years, and the total sponsorship fee is 30 million marks!
In the next ten years, only one sports brand sponsor, Puma, will appear in the Chinese Super League.

This is a big deal. Puma clearly sees a bright future for the Chinese Super League. Of course, once the influence of the Chinese Super League expands, Puma's sales in China will definitely soar.

China has a huge population base, even if [-]% of the people buy the Puma brand, they can quickly earn back the sponsorship fee.

Their brand sales prices are not low.

And the 5 million mark was given, which also defeated many competitors at home and abroad. Such a large sum of money is enough for the Football Association to operate the Super League.

At the same time, the broadcasting rights of the Chinese Super League have also been bought out by 5 sets, with an annual price of 1 million yuan!

The fact that 5 sets can afford so much money is also due to competition. This year, if many local stations want to broadcast live, they have to pay for 5 sets.

And some foreign TV stations also choose to broadcast the Chinese Super League. For example, in countries such as East Asia and Southeast Asia, there are many TV stations that broadcast the Chinese Super League. Now, they have to pay for 5 sets.

All of a sudden, the Chinese Super League became a favorite.

Thinking about it carefully, the Chinese Super League has so many big-name foreign players, so it should still be very attractive.So, when this happens, it's not too much.

First build the Chinese Super League brand, and then drive the sub-level leagues. This is the current trick of the Football Association.

These funds will be uniformly managed by the Football Association. At the end of the season, they will be distributed according to the ranking of the Chinese Super League. The specific distribution plan is still under study.

The Football Association is also constantly learning the management systems of advanced countries, and learning from them that are suitable for the Chinese football team, so that in the future, conflicts can be minimized and the Chinese Super League can develop soundly.

Although the club is still unable to fully control its own market development, no matter what, the Chinese Super League team has this kind of financial support, which is definitely helpful to the team's operation.

In order to get a high bonus, the team is bound to strive for competitive results. Who doesn't want to win the championship?Into the top three?The higher the ranking, the higher the bonus.

In this way, the level of the Chinese Super League will naturally rise accordingly, forming a good situation.

This year's Super League team transfer fee expenditures have also created many new highs.

Gao Feng transferred to the Huandao team with a transfer fee of 1200 million RMB; Shen Si transferred to the Shenzhen team for 1100 million RMB; Hu Yunfeng left the Army Club and also created an income of 950 million RMB for the club.
Without exception, the clubs that bought these players with huge sums of money are full of ambitions.

As the results improve, these investments can be recovered.

If the development of the club can be done well, there will be other sources of income, such as ticket sales, jersey sales, advertising sponsorship income, etc., which will not be a big problem for the survival and development of the club.

There are currently 16 teams in the Chinese Super League, and there are quite a few state-owned enterprises. State-owned enterprises are not afraid of burning money.

Maybe, football will become an important industry for them.

Of course, the business direction of private enterprises will be more flexible, and the flexibility of the market economy will benefit them a lot.

Several private clubs have hired foreign professional managers to serve as the general manager of the club, which is a good sign.

It's not that we Chinese are stupid and don't know how to play football.

They have been engaged in professional leagues abroad for a longer period of time and have more experience. Please come and manage the club well, and the club will benefit more.

The professionalization of the league is really becoming more and more real, reliable, and fully market-oriented!
Li Tie was also very pleased to receive the news. His appearance has brought about earth-shaking changes in Chinese football in this time and space, which is worth pondering for him.

As a person who likes football, it is worth traveling through this life!

He also believes that the future Chinese league will be able to compete with the top five European leagues.
