"Currently, how many teams have registered with the Football Association?"
Yanhuang Academy, inside the mountain chief's office.
Li Zexuan thought of the plans he made when the Tang Dynasty Football Federation was first established. In the past six months or so, he had been involved in many things. The Football Federation was completely managed by Ma Zhou and Qiu Bearke, and the usual specific affairs were handled by him. He didn't even bother to ask. When things came to a close, he could only ask Ma Zhou.
Fortunately, Ma Zhou had a good temper. When he heard this, he smiled and replied: "Master Hou, last year, more than 100 states and counties, and more than 600 people, reported to the Football Federation, and our Football Federation has the manpower. It has been assigned to more than 100 states and counties, and the remaining states and counties are expected to have all the manpower in place this year!
There will be more than 300 teams coming to Chang'an to participate in the relegation league this year. Even if we play ten games a day, it will take a month for more than 300 teams to play 300 games. So Mr. Hou, we You have to prepare early! "
Li Zexuan was surprised when he heard that so many teams were coming. In his previous life, he had never heard that there were so many teams in China!
However, after being slightly surprised, he quickly came to his senses. Football in his previous life was a pain for all Chinese people, but now he is in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was founded by force, and the football movement of the descendants of Yan and Huang will be the first to start in the whole world!
And he has his own leadership and advance layout. He does not believe that the Tang Dynasty will still be a weak football country. He does not believe that Han Chinese football will be constantly rubbed on the ground by teams from small countries like Bangzi and Wa. The glory of Han Chinese football will be his. Leading and guarding, he will cultivate China into a big football country from this time on, and form a football culture from top to bottom. After more than a thousand years, even if future generations fail to live up to expectations, they will not be reduced to being subjected to A team from a small country like Japan is insulting!
Secretly encouraging himself, Li Zexuan suddenly felt that he had an extra responsibility on his shoulders. At first, he invented football just to develop a sport for college students, but now that he has made things bigger, he It's better to give Han football a try, after all, he was very angry with the national football team in his previous life!
"Brother Ma, first we have to solve the problem of the competition venue. The academy's football field alone is definitely not enough! The time for the qualifying competition is set on the eighth day of March. There are still about twenty days from now. These twenty days In the next few days, I plan to build two more football fields, one in Lantian County and one on the bank of the Bahe River in Meicun! I will let Shaoning start advancing this matter as soon as possible!
As for the schedule of the qualifying competition, a group single-round competition system is adopted. Through drawing lots, these more than 300 teams are divided into ten groups: A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. , each team challenges the other teams in turn, winning a game and scoring three points, drawing a game and scoring one point, and losing a game and scoring no points. After all the group matches are played, the top five teams in the group will enter the knockout round.
In the knockout stage, these fifty teams will be divided into five groups A, B, C, D, and E, with ten teams in each group. In the knockout stage, the champion and runner-up in each group will not meet. , and teams from the same state and county will not fight each other. The top four points in each group in the knockout round will be directly promoted to the A-level teams, and the rest will all be B-level teams!
Due to special circumstances this year, twenty first-division teams need to complete the first-division league in the next few months. The first-division league adopts a home and away system, with a total of thirty-eight rounds. A win is also worth three points. A draw results in one point, a loss results in no points. The top ten teams in the First Division will be eligible to participate in the Champions League at the end of July to compete for millions of prizes! "
According to the original plan set by the Football Association, the First Division will be held between August and May of the following year. The top ten in the First Division standings can participate in the Champions League. The Champions League will be held at the end of July. However, since this year is football In the first year of the league's official implementation, it is necessary to first conduct a grading league to grade all teams, so Li Zexuan plans to use three months to directly let these 20 first-class teams play in Chang'an. Match and be expelled from the Champions League!
After listening to Li Zexuan's story, Ma Zhou was a little confused by the detailed and complete competition system plan. He knew that Li Zexuan was smarter than him, but how could Li Zexuan still succeed in such a small matter like football in such a short period of time? How to create such a complete, strict and detailed set of rules?
After thinking about it in his mind for a long time, Ma Zhou asked: "Master Hou, why is it home and away~?"
Li Zexuan frowned and replied: "The general idea is that two teams have to compete with each other twice. For example, the two teams in Qinzhou and Bingzhou need to compete once in Qinzhou and once in Bingzhou. This It's home and away! However, time is short this year, and these twenty first-class teams will stay in Chang'an to decide the winner. Home and away are just a formality!"
Ma Zhou nodded and asked: "Master Hou, if two teams have the same points in the league, how should the ranking be determined~?"
Li Zexuan secretly praised Ma Zhou's thoughts. No wonder he would become the most comfortable prime minister for Li Er in the future!
“In a league with a home and away format, if two teams have the same points, the ranking will be determined based on the goal difference between the two teams in the direct match, that is, the number of goals scored minus the number of goals conceded; if they are still the same, the ranking will be based on the number of goals scored minus the number of goals conceded. The total goal difference of the league; if it is still the same, it will be sorted by the number of goals scored! In a single round format, teams with the same points will go to the play-offs!"
Li Zexuan looked at Ma Zhou and replied with admiration.
Ma Zhou nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Finally, he cupped his hands and said: "Haha! In this way, there will be almost no flaw in this competition system! Mr. Hou is strategizing, Ma Mou admires and admires him!"
This was not intended to please or flatter, Ma Zhou asked himself, if he were in a different place, he would not have been able to come up with such a complete set of efficient and complete competition systems in such a short period of time!
Li Zexuan waved his hand. His family knew his own affairs. He just borrowed the football competition system from his previous life. There was nothing to brag about. "Brother Ma, since you understand the competition system of the relegation league and the first-division league, then you can work hard." You should get up early in the next few days and come up with a detailed schedule system so that the teams coming to Chang'an can prepare as soon as possible! I will ask Shaoning to build the other two football stadiums as soon as possible!"
He has been busy "making treasures" for Li Er and the big guys in the court these two days. The matters between Yanhuang Bank and Tang Yuan are also urgent. It just so happens that he will take advantage of this opportunity to hold a football match in Chang'an to let other states It is convenient for people in the county to know about Tang Yuan in advance!
"Okay! Ma will draft the schedule before tomorrow!"
Ma Zhou responded, then said goodbye and left!
