Chapter 2116 - 2116: 2116

That's indeed the case, Valle's football really hasn't taken off.

And in this world, a common phenomenon is: the political and economic level of a country or region often matches its football ranking in the world.

I'm talking about generally, no need to bring up individual exceptions, right? Haha...

Football level and regional development level are basically aligned, and there's nothing wrong with that.

So, some say, with nearly two billion people in Great East Pot, they can't pick eleven to play, the football is lousy, that's misalignment, isn't it?

And Balse, well, their political economy is just so-so, but their sound football foundation makes them a football kingdom; the national team's football level is world-class, no complaints there.

Any sport, once there's a mass foundation, achievements will follow somehow.

It's just that some sports have no mass foundation in a country but still achieve results. Why's that? Heh heh... those who know, know; those who don't, well, leave it be!

At this time, Liu Zhizhong proposed to develop football and learn the style of Balse, unintentionally strengthening ties with Balse, promoting diplomacy through football, and investing in Balse.

When he opened this topic, the whole think tank got excited, strategizing is what they do best and love most.

So this meeting of the think tank lasted over four hours, and by the time it ended, it was completely dark outside.

In such meetings, everyone contributed ideas and advice, creating a perfect plan for Valle's football development, including two-year, five-year, ten-year plans, and more long-term future plans.

The resolution formed to develop football emphasized starting with the youth, vigorously developing campus football, introducing advanced scientific training methods from Europe, and adopting Balse's samba football style, all of which are quite important.

Organization of Valle Republic's football leagues includes premier leagues, secondary leagues, tertiary leagues, and amateur leagues.

The first three are all professional. We need to establish a football culture, commercialize football.

Strongly attract capital into Valle's football market, using market operations to drive the development of Valle Football.

Especially, in Valle's premier league, there's no limit on foreign players, be they team members or those on the field/substitutes. That's very enticing!

Valle's economic prowess can definitely scout famous football players worldwide, not an issue at all.

According to Liu Zhizhong, Valle's football league should be organized to resemble a mini World Cup, which is truly touching and full of expectation!

The football plan outline formed that day was submitted for parliamentary discussion and voting the next day, and in the afternoon's press conference, Liu Zhizhong personally announced it, once again shocking the world.

Clearly, Balse also noticed, Valle Republic's football development is quite something, providing many Balse players/coaches/football agents with jobs!

Most countries and regions around the world, while shocked, secretively anticipated that Valle Republic's football league would be a hit.

As for how big a hit, it'll depend on future moves.

Meanwhile, Great East Pot's netizens, especially football fans, those who are passionate about football, also got excited.

Well, Great East Pot is so close to Valle, the two countries' tourism cooperation is quite strong; visiting Valle to see world-class stars is no longer a dream, go in the morning, watch in the afternoon, come back for dinner at night.

The key is, this picturesque, livable and work-friendly little country, Valle, how can it not attract a mass of world-class stars joining?

As Valle's Lunar New Year approaches, the vigorous development of football injected an adrenaline shot into the whole nation.

Various capitals rushed in madly, it was simply the carnival of money football!

One club after another sprang up like mushrooms within days.

All sorts of news about poaching players and coaches unfolded crazily, the prices kept rising, mainly because some famous players and coaches had very high release fees. But Valle people want to run the football league, it's not really about the money, hahaha...

Valle Football, overnight, became a global buzzword.

Every day had explosive news, like which world-class player joined which team, which world-class coach joined which team, and the like.

Of course, under Liu Zhizhong's suggestion, Balse's players and coaches flocked to Valle for fortune; it seemed more profitable than playing in Europe's top five leagues, making a lot, a lot of money!

By Lunar New Year's Eve, Valle people used an astonishing speed to present an impressive answer sheet to the national and global fans, also a splendid opening statement.

The amateur league aside, just the three-tier professional football league system had been swiftly built, each with 12 teams, attracting many excellent players and coaches, including some world-class ones, hehe!

The total value of players and coaches in the entire three-tier professional league exceeded fifty trillion US dollars! The football economy is really booming!

Let capital engage, let the market speak; the three-tier professional league, player level/coach level, and club investment are basically equal, matching.

Under the powerful financial onslaught, Valle's premier league will have its heavy first-round clash on Lantern Festival day.

The investors of these two clubs are extraordinary, each investing around fifty billion US dollars, buying good players and coaches. Anyway, whoever spends more enters the premier league, otherwise it's to the secondary or tertiary league, straightforward and crude. Once the first season league ends, promotion and relegation will start, heh heh...

In summary, Valle Republic will become a globally attention-grabbing football league destination. Because of the country's clubs' crazy poaching, some of Europe's top leagues seem to have faded a bit, even a bit resentful.

However, football needs commercialization. The strong capital brings more intense commercialization and more exciting matches.

For instance, now Valle's premier league's opening match, the clash of two major capital giants gathered numerous stars, tickets had long been sold out. On the black market, the scalper's ticket prices rose tenfold or more, yet were more often unavailable than not.

Of course, Valle Republic strictly cracks down on ticket scalping; whenever a case is found, it is dealt with immediately. Once identified as a scalper, they are forever blacklisted from purchasing match tickets.

In the age of big data, those who try to exploit loopholes find nowhere to hide, this is indeed the best protection for ordinary consumers, hehe...
