Chapter 588 Overage Player
As the league progressed, problems continued to emerge.

Liu Feiyu also devoted himself to the league.

After constant negotiations, the competition system of the professional league has also been finalized, taking the form of regular season and playoffs.

The regular season is completed in the fall, and the playoffs are played in the spring of the second year.

Twelve teams in the regular season play a double round, with a total of 22 rounds of competition. After the end of the season, there will be playoffs.

The playoffs are divided into two rounds. For one round, the twelve teams will be divided into two groups with odd and even numbers according to the points of the regular season, and then a double round-robin game will be played.

After the first round of the round robin, the top four of the two groups, a total of eight teams, will compete in a double round of qualifying to win the championship of the playoffs.

The remaining four teams will compete in a double round robin for ranking.

This schedule has been agreed by the majority of clubs.

After the end of the autumn league, the rankings of each team have also come out.

Everyone found opponents in the same group according to their own rankings, and started targeted training.

In the first stage of the competition ranking, the most important thing is to find their opponents,

So in the last few rounds of the league, there are a few teams that are expected to compete for the championship, and other teams are looking for their opponents.

In the city league club, Liu Feiyu and Zhu Yitong were chatting.

"Any kind of competition system will have its own flaws." Zhu Yitong said with a smile: "These rounds have been played well." Zhu Yitong shook his head.

"It is estimated that this will happen. That's why, at the last meeting, I proposed to increase the proportion of the team's ranking in the final profit and non-matching. And it needs to be subdivided, and the rankings of the regular season, the first round of the playoffs, and the second round are all selected separately." Liu Feiyu said.

"You mean, all of them will be included in the assessment?" Zhu Yitong said.

"That's right!" Liu Feiyu said: "So recently I've been thinking about a question, that is, how to make our youth league more exciting. Only when enough spectators are attracted, can the game bring more benefits, and the game itself is exciting enough, so it will also bring other benefits!"

"However, after all, they are still teenagers, so it may be difficult to improve the excitement of the competition," Zhu Yitong said.

"So some changes must be made." Liu Feiyu said: "How about, can we learn from the method of the Olympic team and allow each team to have overage players to participate in the competition?"

"Overage player?" Zhu Yitong said.

"Yes, each team can sign up for a few, and then only a few are allowed in a single game." Liu Feiyu said: "This will not only improve the excitement of some games, but also enhance the intensity of some games, so that young players can get some improvement."

"A good idea. We can bring it up at the next meeting." Zhu Yitong said.

"Now the autumn league has just ended, and there are still more than three months before the start of the spring league next year. If everyone agrees, we can let everyone choose players and come up with a specific plan at the same time." Liu Feiyu said with a smile.

"In fact, there is a ready-made plan." Zhu Yitong said with a smile: "Just borrowing from the Football Association's foreign aid plan won't be the end of it."

"Yes!" Liu Feiyu said with a smile: "Each team can register five overage players, and no more than three overage players can be on the court in a single game."

"Yes." Zhu Yitong nodded.

At the alliance company meeting over the weekend, Liu Feiyu proposed exactly this proposal.

Pros and cons are then stated.

In fact, everyone knows that the addition of overage players is bound to increase the intensity of the game and improve the viewing of the game, so as to better attract the audience.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. The addition of overage players will inevitably reduce the playing time of young players, and it will also have a certain impact on the team's established atmosphere and management. Most importantly, the addition of overage players will inevitably increase the club's expenses.

And can the benefits brought by the addition of these overage players exceed the increased expenses of adding these players?
These are real problems.

So after Liu Feiyu proposed this motion, everyone's response was not as intense as Liu Feiyu imagined.

Liu Feiyu also understands that these clubs basically don't spend much on players' expenses. Except for certain bonuses for certain games, there is basically nothing else.

Most of the players in these clubs are those players trained by the professional leagues of Donghai City and Xicheng City over the years. These players have already signed with the club when they were very young.

The club is responsible for training, and the players basically play for the club for free before they transfer or give up playing.

And if these players are favored by other professional clubs, the youth clubs that train these players will also get a lot of income.

So many clubs are willing to be content with the status quo.

So after Liu Feiyu finished speaking, for a long time, no one in the conference room spoke.

"What do you all think?" Liu Feiyu looked at everyone and said.

"We don't have such an idea yet. After all, if we are looking for over-age players, the low-profile ones probably won't generate much repercussions. The high-profile ones will definitely cost a lot!" Finally, a person in charge of the club spoke.

Someone spoke, and the atmosphere at the venue became active, but most of them were echoing the words of the head of the club just now.

"Yeah! Yeah! Isn't it good now?"

"That's right! Young players are easy to manage, and those professional players will definitely be very troublesome to manage."

"Yeah, what if you play big cards?"

"If these young players learn from others, wouldn't it be more difficult for us to manage it?"

……

Everyone was talking about it, and some clubs even directly stated that the club would not consider overage players in the short term.

Liu Feiyu never thought that this proposal would receive such fierce opposition from everyone.

"Be quiet, everyone. If you have any suggestions for this proposal, please speak up one by one." Zhu Yitong's words made the venue quiet.

Liu Feiyu's mind was spinning rapidly, and finally he had a solution. When everyone calmed down, Liu Feiyu said with a smile: "My proposal is just to add to our league system that each team can register overage players and then play football, instead of requiring everyone to have overage players!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Feiyu paused again, and then looked at those in charge and said, "So, if you don't want to introduce overage players, you don't have to. But if one day you want to introduce, this system also has it, just introduce it directly."

After speaking, Liu Feiyu quietly looked at everyone present, waiting for their reply!
