The conference hall of Zhenhua Hotel is flooding with people.

This is not the most luxurious conference room in the hotel, because there are more upscale private conference rooms, but this room can accommodate more than 200 people. After a specially decorated conference room, everyone who comes to the scene can feel the simplicity of the place, but the elegant decoration style is not lost.

This is also the design style of Zhenhua Hotel. It does not pursue luxury, but pays more attention to simplicity. It is in line with the feeling that the entire Zhenhua Building gives people is the theme of green and environmental protection. At least the electricity used in this hotel is done through wind power generation, while water resources can be recycled and recycled, and are called the green benchmark in skyscrapers.

At this moment, the reporters entering the conference hall were discussing the major event that will be announced to the public. Although they knew vaguely that Paul Newman of Moon Sports Services had a meeting with several UEFA officials and were negotiating a cooperation, they could not find any clues for the specific cooperation project.

What kind of cooperation is it?

This has become a doubt in the hearts of all the reporters who came to the scene.

As the press conference approached, more and more people came to the scene. The seats in the entire conference hall were full of people, and many members of the camera team were arranged in the last row of the hall.

The Guardian, Times, Sun, Daily Mail and other famous British newspapers have arranged heavyweights to come to the scene, and European authoritative newspapers such as Italy's Milan Sports, German Photos, Spanish National and French Team also paid full attention to this press conference. It is obvious that they all have a premonition of the weight of this press conference.

Of course, this is a mentality of rather than letting go of mistakes. They have suffered losses in this kind of thing many times in the past, but now there is a high pressure on competition in the media field, so they have to do their best, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses if they miss important news.

Time passed slowly, and the scene was filled with people, and almost everyone was discussing what was about to be announced

When people walked into the venue one after another, everyone suddenly became quiet, and a flash of spotlights flashed on the scene.

It includes AC Milan's Galliani, Real Madrid's Florentino, Barcelona's Rossel, Manchester United's David Gill, Chelsea's Pini of Li Xavi, Tottenham's Peterni

The bigwigs of several top European football teams appeared at the venue, but not only these giant teams, including Ajax, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Lyon, as well as leaders of some top teams from other European regions such as Croatia, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, etc., all appeared at the venue.

The entire press conference suddenly felt an uproar. So many people appeared together, it must be not simple.

In fact, while everyone was shocked, they were full of expectations for the upcoming press conference, but more importantly, they were full of admiration for the influence of Moon Sports Services. At least in European football, no sports service company can do this level.

As the saying goes, moistening things is silent. Sometimes everyone only notices what they see on the surface. For example, they think that Mendes is the best in the field of brokers, but they are not clear at all. Many of Mendes' business operations are actually handed over to Moon Sports Service Company to complete.

With the improvement and development of the Football Economic Forum and Player Database, Moon Sports Services' influence has long penetrated into every corner of the European football world, and the business involved also includes many, many aspects. Except for a very small number of player brokerage businesses, they hardly participate in any transfer matters.

But when it comes to business operation capabilities, Moon Sports Services' capabilities are unquestionable.

After these football bosses walked into the venue, they sat down in the front row with a chat and laughter. Then, not long after, they saw Ye Qiu, Eliza Moon, accompanied Platini and other UEFA officials, and the leaders of the Football Association from several countries including the English Football Association, Italian Football Association, Spanish Football Association and other Football Associations also appeared at the venue.

There was an uproar at the scene. Eliza Moon is now a veritable strong woman. Under her leadership, Ye Zi Technology has developed very rapidly over the years. She has become the world's leading CEO. Although she is nominally the boss of Moon Sports Service Company, no one expects her to come to the scene.

But she came, which surprised almost everyone at the scene.

"Welcome to all the friends in the media industry to take the time to attend our press conference"

Paul Newman, the CEO of Moon Sports Services, walked onto the stage and said to everyone below that he should be a part-time emcee for this press conference.

Basically, when a press conference was held in Europe, there was no need to introduce the guests who came to the scene, and everyone knew each other, so the press conference quickly got to the point, while Paul O'Neuman announced a major event that shocked almost everyone present.

"In the past few years, I believe everyone knows very clearly that no matter which country or which team it is, developing youth training difficulties has become a major event that they cannot ignore. According to statistics we have obtained, in the Premier League, the average investment of each Premier League team in youth training is about 1 million pounds, and a very small part of it reaches 2 million pounds. Tottenham Hotspur has always been the leader in this regard, reaching 3 million pounds."

This data from Paul O Newman comes from official data. Tottenham's youth training investment includes many, many aspects, so it is not just investment in youth training, but also some research centers have R&D investment in youth training, as well as other projects.

"But we all know that in England, young players don't have many real opportunities to play. At best, the FA Cup is more important. The gap in strength between the north and south divisions is too huge, and the reserve team is irrelevant and not valued. This has led to the youth training of many Premier League teams not ideal, such as Manchester City

Manchester City's youth training is indeed relatively bad. Although they seem to have trained many players on the surface, in fact, their youth training college in Pratt Lane invests very little every year. This situation has improved after Mansour acquired Manchester City, but it has just started.

"Of course, I don't mean to blame Manchester City, because there are many other teams like them, and even there are too many teams on the European continent. They may be all young players sharing a broken field and playing a game that they have no interest in at all."

This situation is indeed the case for Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal and other giant teams. Their young players are too strong and are completely different from other teams. Such a game is boring.

Tottenham Hotspur organizes youth teams to train overseas every year, which is also the reason why Tottenham Hotspur youth training is very expensive, because overseas training still requires money.

"Actually, we all know that youth training is the future of football, but we both regard youth training as a burden for the club in our hearts, so we have been wondering if there is a way to change this situation? Can our team become more enthusiastic about youth training, so that our fans will prefer to watch youth team games?"

"Four years ago, there were two very excellent professional youth training talents thinking about this issue. They were also trying to put it into practice, and they considered many solutions. Two years ago, someone introduced them to me. As soon as I heard their ideas and plans, I said, this is the youth training! The future."

"We need a platform to make everyone more involved in youth training丨 and support youth training more丨Add to youth training more丨We need to have a complete youth team league system"

When Paul Newman said this, many people on the scene realized the problem, the league system of the youth team?

Is it necessary to organize youth team leagues in various countries? It is organized by Moon Sports Service Company?

"After two years of careful preparation and planning, we have received support from many European teams, we have signed an agreement with them, and we have obtained official authorization from FIFA and UEFA. We will officially start the first European Youth Champions League from this season."

With Paul O Newman's announcement, an animation immediately appeared on the big screen behind him. The trophy and logo of the European Youth Champions League appeared on the big screen. Everyone could see that this was a carefully planned video, which shows that this was also a carefully planned event.

Moon Sports Services spent two years planning this event, which shows their importance to this event.

"This is a UEFA Champions League for young players under the age of 19. Thirty-two teams participating in the adult UEFA Champions League group stage will automatically enter the group stage of this event, and the grouping is exactly the same as the UEFA Champions League group stage."

According to the plan, all teams participating in the Champions League group stage can choose whether to arrange for youth teams to participate. All players participating must be nineteen or under. For some teams that do not want to participate, the organizing committee invites other teams to come in.

Currently, the Premier League, including Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams that cannot participate in the Champions League have all been included in the European Youth Champions League group stage list. In addition, some European youth training teams are also included, such as Rennes, Anderlecht, etc., who have entered this event.

This is the first event. Many teams from small football countries don’t want to participate. After all, they are running back and forth, and many of them do not have regular youth teams, so even if they barely participate, they are making a fool of themselves. So they mentioned to the organizing committee before that they will not send teams to participate.

After all, the European Youth Champions League is a very meaningful thing, because it can greatly promote communication and connection between European youth training | and it can also allow young players to play games with teams from other countries early, promote their growth and progress, and provide them with a broader vision and dance.

The plan was proposed by Mark Woburnton and Frank McPalland four years ago. One of them is a former Watford youth training supervisor and is now athletic director at Bradford. However, he has been poached by Moon Sports Services and serves as an important member of the plan.

Frank McPalland, who is in his sixties, was formerly Liverpool's chief scout, and later transferred to Bolton as the youth training supervisor. Now he is a senior executive at Liverpool. He is highly valued by Benitez, but now he has also switched to Moon Sports Services.

These two talents are specifically responsible for event organization and operation, while Moon Sports Services has specialized in business development.

You should know that no matter from which perspective, this event has great potential and benefits. Almost all giant teams, even Ajax and other teams, hope to participate. In order to ensure the interests of participating teams, the organizing committee has also formulated some restrictions to prohibit the occurrence of poaching each other.

UEFA also strongly supports such things, because they also believe that this can greatly promote youth training! Passion, but there is one problem, that is, funding.

After investing a lot of money in grassroots football and small-national leagues, UEFA can no longer support Moon Sports Service to hold such a league. After consultation with Ye Qiu, Peter Nian and others, Paul Newman also expected to understand UEFA's mentality, so he put forward an idea of ​​independence and autonomy in authorization and management.

Both UEFA and FIFA agreed to authorize and let Moon Sports Services operate and manage the event independently.

In fact, this is equivalent to the fact that the Premier League was independent from the FA. Even now, Moon Sports Service has gained greater benefits than the Premier League. At least it has the greatest power in terms of schedule, discipline, etc. UEFA only provides support in some details such as referee arrangements.

Therefore, in less than half a year of preparation, Moon Sports Services showed its strong business operation capabilities, not only bringing four major international sponsors including Adidas, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Samsung, but also some other small sponsors and local sponsors. The TV broadcasting rights were eventually won by Sky TV and HHC.

This is also a tradition of the Champions League broadcasting rights. A free TV station and a paid TV station. The former can help the event increase audience and attract more people's attention, while the latter can ensure that the value of the broadcasting rights continues to increase.

Although it was the first time, the income of sponsors and broadcasting rights was not ideal, and even sponsors had to be accommodated in many places. For example, the game time had to be temporarily followed by the broadcasters' requirements. They hoped that this event could become a warm show in the Champions League, but no matter what, the money problem was basically solved.

This is undoubtedly a very important benefit to the beginning of the European Youth Champions League. Because after solving the money, the organizing committee will be able to pay the participating bonuses and winning bonuses to all participating teams. For all participating teams, especially the giant teams, they will be happy to participate even if they don’t have money.

Of course, it is the Youth Champions League, and the winning prizes cannot be compared with the Champions League, and it is even pitifully small, but it is still enough to support a youth team to compete.

You should know that there is a huge separation between the youth team and the first team today, which is the current situation that any team has. However, through such platforms and events, young players and teams can find their own stage and get enough exposure and attention, so that they have more chances to stand out and find talents they lack.

For sponsors, the participating teams are not unknown. Those who can participate in this event are the youth teams of the Champions League team. They can feel the potential of the future from the future. They all know that such events are still very attractive in European football and even in the world.

For Moon Sports Service, this is the last pure land of professional football. When club events and intercontinental competitions are controlled by FIFA and ANF, and domestic events are controlled by football associations of various countries, organizing a youth team competition is definitely a powerful development of the marginal market.

Moon Sports Services' business operation capabilities need not be doubted. They already have a complete set of operation plans and are determined to operate this European Youth Champions League within five years to build a commercial and developed and highly competitive league, making it a platform for the world's best young players to gather and show their own strength.

Among all the reporters who came to the scene, many people with good knowledge realized that Moon Sports Service Company was looking to promote youth training on the surface, but that was just some official polite statements. In fact, they obtained the authorization of UEFA and signed an agreement for independent operation and management, which means that they are the managers of the greatest authority for this event.

This means that it is entirely possible for them to create a brand new Champions League, and they play the role of UEFA.

Many people may say that the youth team's game is not as intense as the adult team's, which is wrong.

The youth team's game may not be as fierce as the adult team, but the youth team's competition is more open, with more goals and more offensives. Moreover, their physical strength is weaker than that of the adult team, and their technical content is higher.

And it is very important that the operating costs of the youth team are lower, and even the fans' cost of watching the game is also lower. Therefore, we cannot only see the advantages of the adult team, but should see that relatively speaking, the youth team also has its own advantages in the competition. The key is that the adult team has played its own advantages, and how the youth team finds its own advantages.

There is no doubt that Moon Sports Service Company has once again made an amazing innovation. As the Champions League has been highly commercialized, its development has encountered bottlenecks, and its operating costs are getting higher and higher, they will undoubtedly become a sudden event in European football in the next few years.

There is a saying that is right: third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make brands, first-rate companies make standards

Moon Sports Service has obtained the official authorization from FIFA and UEFA. If the European Youth Champions League is allowed to start, the European Youth League Cup will be born closely behind, and there will even be the opportunity to invite teams from other continents to participate to promote exchanges between football in various continents.
