The conference hall of Zhenhua Hotel was crowded.

This is not the most luxurious conference hall in the hotel, as there are more upscale private meeting rooms, but in this specially arranged conference hall that can accommodate more than 200 people, everyone who comes to the venue can feel the simplicity of the place, but without losing the elegant decoration style.

This is also the design style of Zhenhua Hotel, not the pursuit of luxury, more attention to simplicity, in line with the whole Zhenhua Building to give people the feeling is the theme of green environmental protection, at least the hotel electricity is completed by wind power, and water resources can be recycled, known as the green benchmark in the skyscraper.

At this moment, the reporters who walked into the conference hall were discussing the big event that was about to be announced, although they vaguely knew that there was news before that the Paul of Moon Sports Services? Newman met with a number of UEFA officials to discuss a partnership, but they couldn't find any clues about the specific cooperation project.

What kind of cooperation is it?

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

As the press conference approached, so did the number of people who came to the scene, and the entire conference hall was filled with people, and many members of the camera crew were arranged in the back row of the hall.

The Guardian, The Times, The Sun, The Daily Mail and other famous British newspapers arranged heavyweights to come to the scene, and European authoritative newspapers including Milan Sport, German Bild, Spanish El País and France also paid enough attention to this press conference, and it was obvious that they all had a hunch of the weight of this press conference.

Of course, this is a kind of mentality that would rather kill the wrong than let go, and they have suffered many times in the past, but in today's media field, the pressure of competition is high, and they have to go all out, otherwise they will lose a lot if they miss important news.

Time passed slowly, and the scene was full of people, and almost everyone was discussing what was about to be announced.

When people walked into the venue one after another, everyone suddenly fell silent, and the scene suddenly flashed with magnesium lights.

Impressively, including AC Milan's Galliani, Real Madrid's Florentino, Barcelona's Russell, Manchester United's David? Jill, Chelsea's Pini? Zahavi, Tottenham Hotspur's Peter? Kenyon......

The biggest names in European football were present, but not just these big teams, including Ajax, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Lyon, and some of the top teams from other parts of Europe such as Croatia, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and other countries were present.

There was an uproar at the whole press conference, and so many people appeared together, which is certainly not simple.

In fact, everyone was shocked and full of anticipation 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 other sports services company can match their level.

As the so-called moisturizing is silent, sometimes everyone just notices what they see on the surface, for example, they will think that the best person in the agent field is Mendes, but they don't know at all that many of Mendes' business operations are actually transferred to Moon Sports Services.

With the development of the Football Economic Forum and the player database, the influence of Moon Sports Services has penetrated into every corner of European football, and the business involved includes many, many aspects, except for a very small number of player agents, they are hardly involved in any transfer matters.

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

After these football bigwigs walked into the venue, they sat down in the front row with a smile, and then it didn't take long for them to see Ye Qiu and Eliza? Moon, accompanied by Platini and other UEFA officials, plus the leaders of the Football Associations of several countries such as the FA, the Italian Football Federation, and the Spanish Football Federation, also appeared at the venue.

There was an uproar at the scene, Eliza? Moon is now a veritable strong woman, and under her leadership, Ye Tech has grown rapidly over the years, and she has become the world's premier CEO, and although she is still nominally the owner of Moon Sports Services, no one expects her to be on the scene.

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

"Welcome all friends from the media to take the time to join us at this press conference!"

CEO of Moon Sports Services, Paul? Newman, the somewhat balding Irishman, walked up to the stage and told everyone below that he was supposed to be the emcee for the press conference part-time.

Basically, when a press conference is held in Europe, there is no need to introduce the guests who came to the scene, everyone knows each other, so the press conference quickly went straight to the point, and Paul? Newman, for his part, announced a big event that shocked almost everyone present.

"In the past few years, I believe everyone knows very well that no matter which country, no matter which big team, the development of youth training has become a major event that they cannot ignore, and according to the statistics we have obtained, in the Premier League, the average investment of each Premier League team in youth training is about one million pounds, and a very small part reaches two million pounds, and Tottenham Hotspur has always been a leader in this aspect, reaching three million pounds!"

Paul? Newman's data is from the official data, Tottenham Hotspur's investment in youth training includes many, many aspects, so not only the investment in youth training, but also the research and development investment of some research centers in youth training, and other projects.

"But we all know that in England, young players don't really have many opportunities to play, at best the more important is the FA Youth Cup, the difference in strength between the north and the south is too huge, and the reserve team is insignificant and not valued, which has led to many Premier League teams in the youth echelon is not ideal, such as Manchester City!"

Manchester City's academy is indeed relatively bad, although they seem to have produced a lot of players on the surface, but in reality, their academy in Pratt Lane invests very little every year, and this situation has only just started after Mansour's acquisition of Manchester City.

'Of course, I don't mean to point fingers at Manchester City because there are so many other teams like them, and there are too many teams on the continent as well, and they could be all the young players sharing a tattered pitch and playing a game that they are not interested in at all.

This situation is indeed true for Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal and other big teams, their young players are too strong, compared to other teams, completely out of the same level, such a game is very boring to play.

Tottenham Hotspur organizes youth teams to train overseas every year, which is also the reason why Tottenham Hotspur invests a lot of money in youth training, because overseas training still needs money in the final analysis.

"At the end of the day, we all know that youth training is the future of football, but at the same time, we all see youth training as a burden for the club, so we always wonder if there is a way to change this situation. Can we make our team more enthusiastic about the academy and make our fans enjoy watching the youth team play more? ”

"Four years ago, there were two very good professionals who were thinking about this, and they were trying to put it into practice, and they were thinking about a lot of options, and two years ago, someone introduced them to me, and as soon as I heard their ideas and plans, I said, this is the future of youth training!"

"We need a platform where everyone is more involved in the academy, more supportive of the academy, more focused on the academy, and we need to have a whole league system for the youth team!"

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

Is it to have youth league leagues in various countries? By Moon Sports Services?

"After two years of careful preparation and planning, we have the support of a lot of teams in Europe, we have signed an agreement with them, and we have official authorization from FIFA and UEFA, we will start the first UEFA Youth Champions League from this season!"

With Paul? Newman's announcement immediately saw an animation on the big screen behind him, with the UEFA Youth Champions League trophy and logo appearing on the big screen, and everyone could see that it was a well-planned video, which showed that this was also a well-planned event.

Moon Sports Services spent two years planning this event, which shows how important they are about this event.

"This is a UEFA Champions League for young players under the age of 19, and the 32 teams that play in the group stage of the senior UEFA Champions League will automatically enter the group stage of this competition, and the group will be exactly the same as in the group stage of the Champions League."

According to the plan, all teams participating in the group stage of the Champions League can choose whether to arrange youth teams to participate, and all participating players must be 19 years old or younger, and for some teams that do not want to participate, the organizing committee will invite other teams to fill in.

At present, the Premier League, including Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams that have no way to participate in the Champions League, have been added to the list of the group stage of the UEFA Youth Champions League, in addition to some European youth teams with a high level of training, such as Rennes, such as Anderlecht, etc., they have entered this competition.

This is the first event, and there are many teams from small football countries who don't want to participate, after all, they are running back and forth, and many of them don't have regular youth teams, so even if they barely participate, it is a shame in front of others, so they mentioned to the organizing committee before that they will not send teams to participate.

In the final analysis, the UEFA Youth Champions League, this is a very meaningful thing, because it can greatly promote the communication and connection between the European youth teams, and it can also allow young players to play against teams from other countries early, promote their growth and progress, and provide them with a broader vision and stage.

This plan was planned by Mark? Warburnton and Frank? McPalland came out four years ago, a former Watford youth director who is now a sporting director at Bradford, but has now been poached by Moon Sports Services to be a key part of the project.

Frank in his sixties? McPalland, who was Liverpool's chief scout, moved to Bolton Wanderers as head of youth at one point, and is now valued by Rafael Benitez as a senior youth manager at Liverpool, but has now also moved to Moon Sports Services.

These two individuals are dedicated to the organization and operation of the event, while Moon Sports Services has dedicated staff for business development.

Almost all the big teams, even Ajax and other teams want to participate, and in order to ensure the interests of the participating teams, the organizing committee has also drawn up some restrictions to prohibit each other from poaching each other.

UEFA is also very supportive of such things, because they also believe that it can greatly boost the enthusiasm of the academy, but there is one problem, and that is funding.

After investing a lot of money in grassroots football and small national leagues, it is no longer possible for UEFA to support Moon Sports Services in such a league. Newman was passing through with Ye Qiu, Peter? After Kenyon and others negotiated, they also anticipated this mentality of UEFA, so they put forward an idea, the independence of authorization and management.

Both UEFA and FIFA have agreed to authorise and allow Moon Sports Services to operate and manage the event on its own.

In fact, this is equivalent to the independence of the Premier League from the FA back then, and even now Moon Sports Services has greater benefits than the Premier League, at least in terms of schedule, discipline and other aspects have the most power, UEFA only provides support in some details such as referee arrangements.

As a result, in less than half a year of preparation, Moon Sports Services has demonstrated its strong commercial operation capabilities, not only attracting four international sponsors including Adidas, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Samsung, but also some other small sponsors and local sponsors, and the TV rights were finally won by Sky TV and BBC.

This is also in the tradition of Champions League broadcasting rights, with a free-to-air TV station helping to increase the audience and attract more attention to the event, and a pay-per-view TV station to ensure that the value of the broadcast rights continues to grow.

Although it was the first time, the income of sponsors and broadcast rights was not ideal, and even in many places they had to accommodate sponsors, such as the game time, they had to temporarily obey the requirements of the broadcasters, they wanted this event to become a warm-up show for the Champions League, but in any case, the problem of money was basically solved.

This is undoubtedly a very significant positive for the start of the UEFA Youth Champions League, because if the money is solved, the organizing committee is fully capable of giving all participating teams participation bonuses and winning bonuses, and for all participating teams, especially the giant teams, not to mention having money, even if there is no money, they are happy to participate.

Of course, in the Youth Champions League, the participation bonus and winning bonus are not comparable to the Champions League, or even pitiful, but it is enough to support a youth team.

It is important to know that there is a huge gap between the youth team and the first team today, which is the status quo of any team, but through such platforms and events, young players and teams can find their own stage, get enough exposure and attention, so that they have a better chance to get ahead, and they have a better chance to find the talent they lack.

For the sponsors, the participating teams are not unknown, they are able to participate in this competition are the youth teams of the Champions League teams, the potential of the future, they can feel the potential of the future, and they are very aware that such an event is still very attractive in European football and even in world football.

For Moon Sports Services, this is the last pure land of professional football, and organizing a youth team competition is definitely a powerful development of the marginal market when club and continental competitions are controlled by FIFA and CONTINENTAL, and domestic competitions are controlled by national football associations.

There is no doubt about the commercial operation of Moon Sports Services, they have a complete set of operational plans, and are determined to make this UEFA Youth Champions League a commercialized and highly competitive league within five years, so that it will become a platform for the best young players in the world to gather and show their strengths.

Among all the reporters who came to the scene, many well-informed people realized that Moon Sports Services was ostensibly going to promote youth training, but that was just some official polite statement, in fact, they were authorized by UEFA and signed an agreement to operate and manage independently, that is, they are equivalent to the maximum authority of the management of this event.

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

Many people may say that the youth team is not as exciting as the senior team, which is wrong.

The youth team may not be as intense as the senior team, but the youth team is more open-minded, scoring more goals, attacking aggressively, and they are weaker than the senior team, and the technical content is higher.

And it is very important that the operating costs of the youth team are lower, and even the cost of watching the football for fans is also lower, so we can not only see the advantages of the senior team, but we should see that relatively speaking, the youth team also has its own advantages, the key is that the senior team has played its own advantages, and how the youth team can find its own advantages.

There is no doubt that Moon Sports Services has once again made an amazing achievement, and at a time when the Champions League is already highly commercialised, its development has encountered bottlenecks and operating costs are getting higher, and they are strongly supporting the Youth Champions League, which will undoubtedly become a new competition in European football in the coming years.

There is a saying that is very right, third-rate enterprises do products, second-rate enterprises do brands, and first-class enterprises do standards.

Moon Sports Services has been officially authorized by FIFA and UEFA, and if the UEFA Youth Champions League allows them to get started, then the UEFA Youth League Cup will also be born in the future, and there will even be the opportunity to invite teams from other continents to participate in the competition, promoting the exchange of football between all continents.

Toulon Cup, World Youth Championships, European Youth Championships, is it very popular now?

Now it's time for the UEFA Youth Champions League! The strength of the platform.
