Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 379 A3 League
Basically, Pei Wei can be said to represent the Chinese Football Association. The two of them are definitely aware of this, and in the end, it must be the football associations of the three countries that will confront the AFC head-on. There's nothing to lose, and since that's the case, they're happy to take the lead.

Although this may cause dissatisfaction with the AFC, this risk is worth taking for the convenience that the national football association may provide in the future.

Besides, although the AFC is the highest leader of Asian football in name, after all, there is still a layer of affiliation. As the saying goes, the current officials are not as good as the current ones. Just like Europe’s G14 is clearly fighting against UEFA, and UEFA has no good way to deal with them, the AFC will not be willing to offend these clubs with big corporate backgrounds. What concerns?

After agreeing to contact their national football association, Jin Guangzhu and Yoshida Ryoichi were about to get up and say goodbye. After all, the AFC could not let the AFC know about this meeting—but Pei Wei suddenly said something with a smile on his face, which immediately shocked the two of them. Dumbfounded, unable to move!
What Pei Wei said was; "You two, are you interested in forming a league between our three countries?"

**********************************************
Yoshida Ryoichi reacted before Jin Guangzhu, and asked hesitantly: "Pei Jun... what did you just say?"

Jin Guangzhu also looked at Pei Wei with a look of surprise. Regarding their reaction, Pei Wei had expected it, and he repeated: "Are you interested in forming a championship team from China, Japan and South Korea to participate in an event?" New game?"

"A match played by the champions of the three countries?" Upon hearing this, the two immediately keenly discovered the huge commercial benefits contained in it. In Asia, professional leagues have a long history, and South Korea's K-League is a professional league. The standardization of the league is the Japanese J-League, and in terms of current influence, it is the Chinese A-League with four world superstars.

The population of Asia as a whole is about 30 billion, and the combined population of China, Japan, and South Korea exceeds 15 billion. Nearly half of the population in Asia is concentrated in these three countries, and more than one billion people live in Southeast Asia. In fact, although there are many countries in West Asia, the combined population is less than half that of China. Therefore, since the launch of professional football leagues, the China, Japan, and South Korea leagues have the best foundation and the most support from fans. Enmity and resentment are also an excellent point of view. If such a game can really be held, then the attraction must be quite large. Coupled with the developed TV media of the Three Kingdoms, the ticket revenue and advertising expenses will be a fortune. Huge numbers.

Jin Guangzhu and Yoshida Ryoichi understood one point. Thinking of the huge benefits that such a competition will bring, both of them were overjoyed, but in a blink of an eye, they immediately remembered how difficult it was to hold this competition.

The Champions League of China, Japan and South Korea, which represents the highest level of football in East Asia, is probably no less attractive than the Asian Club Cup, the highest honor of Asian clubs. It is tantamount to competing with the Asian Club Cup for attention and jobs— —Will the AFC agree to hold this kind of competition that is beneficial to East Asia but does no harm to West Asia?

"So what if they don't agree?" Pei Wei sneered: "The AFC has no right to stop a normal game... and this kind of game that is limited to China, Japan and South Korea is not at all. We need to pass the AFC, we don’t need that name, we only need the reality, as long as our three countries agree to participate in this competition, then the AFC can only knock down its teeth and swallow it in its stomach... as long as it is the first time If the game can be successfully held, it is a fait accompli, and if they don’t agree, they must agree! I think, the Football Association where the two belong will not disagree with such a favorable game?”

Why don't you want to?How could you not want to?
The competition with the champion teams of China, Japan and South Korea, which represents the highest level of East Asian football, will definitely attract enough attention. This will be an excellent opportunity to expand the influence of the three-nation league in Asia and the world, and at the same time, it will be better. To promote exchanges between the three countries, and such a game is definitely not something that can be done just by the clubs. It is not just a few clubs that benefit from time to time. With the football resources of China, Japan and South Korea, as long as they can be united, it is enough to shake the status of the AFC in Asian football.

Although this kind of competition will definitely affect the status of the Asian Club Cup, which represents the highest honor of Asian clubs, and will cause dissatisfaction in the AFC, East Asian football itself has always been excluded in the AFC, and you will be excluded if you do it. It might as well be done, at least to disgust the West Asians.

With the help of these two things, East Asian football will definitely be able to gain more power in the AFC, and the benefits it will bring are beyond doubt, and it may be able to reverse the disadvantage of East Asian football in the AFC in one fell swoop. It is not a matter of disgusting the West Asians, it will allow East Asia to gain real benefits in the AFC.

The focus of Asian football must still be transferred to East Asia, which is determined by the geographical location and market capacity of East Asia, and the three-nation championship will be an opportunity.

"I have a preliminary idea that there should not be too many participating teams, because the schedule of domestic league and cup matches is relatively strict, so I can only control the number of teams. My idea is that there will be four participating teams and two host teams. , the other two countries, one country and one team. The qualifications are the league champions of each country last year and the cup champions of the host country last year. The singles will be played in a loop. Finally, the ranking will be determined by the points. The hosts will be played by the three countries in turn. How do you two feel before the East Asian Final Four?" Pei Wei asked.

"Well, the schedule is very reasonable. Three rounds of competition can be over, and the excitement of the competition can be guaranteed." Jin Guangzhu nodded in agreement.

"I have no opinion, but I have to propose to the Football Association first." Yoshida Ryoichi said.

"Of course, this is not something that can be decided now, but we still have a year to go, enough to make this competition into an official competition." Pei Wei said with a smile.

"I will convey these two matters to the Chinese Football Association." Ryoichi Yoshida stood up and bowed to Pei Wei: "I am very relieved to see Mr. Pei's demeanor today, and I am looking forward to meeting Mr. Pei. Teams compete on the pitch."

Pei Wei nodded, and then shook hands with Jin Guangzhu: "We are friends here today, and we will also be friends in the Asian arena in the future... But in the game two days later, we will be enemies. Be careful, both of you. Our goal this time is to defend the Asian Club Cup, and we will not give up any games."

Jin Guangzhu and Yoshida Ryoichi nodded at the same time.

**********************************************
Jin Guangzhu and Yoshida Ryoyi left, and Pei Wei knew that the football associations of Japan and South Korea could not be unmoved by his proposal.

Now the leagues of the three East Asian countries have developed to a bottleneck. China has the largest market, but the average income of ordinary people is not high, and the income of clubs is limited. The Korean league has the longest history, but its clubs rely on large enterprises to survive. South Korea Fans seem to be more interested in the national team, and although the Japanese league has the most abundant financial resources among the three countries, due to the impact of the economic crisis, many clubs have shrunk, and the financial deficit is bigger than that of the other two countries. Such an opportunity to expand financial resources and expand influence, as long as their Football Association personnel are not stupid, it is impossible to give up this opportunity.

Compared with Europe and South America, football competitions in Asia are at a disadvantage. At least for a few decades, competitions between Asian clubs will definitely not be as attractive as the European Champions Cup, but the Champions League model is worth it. Asia club study.

The European Champions Cup has brought huge income to UEFA and clubs in various countries. With money, clubs can develop faster and better, and attract more rich people to invest in football. This is a Virtuous circle.

But Asia has its own particularity. Asia is too big. You know, the whole of Europe is probably only as big as China. This is why the Asian Club Cup can only be divided into East and West Asia. The reason for the final is not a big problem for China, Japan and South Korea, which are geographically close.

At the same time, once this competition is successful, it will be a strong counterattack against West Asian football by East Asian football, which has been repeatedly excluded. The Football Federation will also gain more voice.

The plan of the A3 league was originally proposed by Chung Mong-joon of South Korea for East Asian football to gain a greater voice in the AFC. It is a product of history, and he first proposed this concept. Agree, if two of the three countries agree, then there is no room for the Japanese side to disagree.

At that time, one AFC Champions League, one A3, who can represent the true highest honor of Asian clubs, there is still a fight!

Only by keeping the two major powers of East Asia and West Asia maintaining a balance within the AFC, can Asian football develop fully.

PS: This chapter, from [-] o'clock in the morning until now, has been full of disasters. On the way, I experienced a power outage and two crashes. I was so angry that I almost smashed the computer...

After this chapter is coded, Lao Guo will take a break and continue to open codes. From now until twelve o'clock in the evening, he will send out as many codes as he wants, hoping to explode a little more.

PS2: Well, congratulations on the opening of the new version of Qidian. Although there are some difficulties in adding essence and other aspects, there must be pains during the revision period. I hope everyone can continue to support Qidian and Lao Guo.
