Visit the Japanese high school football league with the attendance rate exceeding J league in the championship final of Japanese high school football league.

  Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, July 18th-More than 4,000 teams competed, many spectators came to cheer, and the players strove towards the dream of "dominating the whole country" … Japan’s high school football league, with a history of 100 years, entrusted the youth and dreams of countless football teenagers and contributed to the popularization and improvement of Japanese football.

  The attendance rate of the final exceeded that of the professional competition.

  Japan’s high school football league began in 1917, and it is held once a year except for five sessions due to war and other factors. Today, more than 4,000 senior high school teams participate in regional qualifiers every year, and finally 48 winning teams (2 in Tokyo and 1 in other regions) are selected by 47 prefectures and counties to represent the region in the national competition.

  The annual national competition can be called an annual football feast. Take the 96th National Competition of Japanese Senior High School Football League as an example. From December 30, 2017 to January 8, 2018, 48 teams from 4,093 senior high school teams had a single-loss elimination match, with a cumulative audience of nearly 300,000 in 47 games, with an average of more than 6,300 people per game.

  After some fierce fighting, the final finalists were Maebashi Yuying High School in Gunma County and Dabai High School in Chiba County. The final was held in Saitama 2002 World Cup Stadium, which attracted 41,337 people to watch the match. This figure also dwarfs many games in Japan’s professional football league (J League). According to statistics, in 2017, the average audience of Japanese professional football league (J1) was 18,883, that of J2 was 6,980, and that of J3 was only 2,613.

  The high attendance rate is also related to the closeness of the ticket prices. In the semi-finals and finals, the first 3000 primary school students present are free of tickets. In the final, there are no free seats with designated seats. The price of primary school students is 800 yen (equivalent to RMB 47 yuan), high school students are 1,000 yen, and adult audience is 1,500 yen. The fare for designated seats ranges from 2,600 to 4,100 yen. Tickets for semi-finals and other competitions are slightly lower.

  In the end, with a goal in stoppage time, Maebashi Yuying High School won the final and won the championship for the first time. Although there is no bonus, the high-standard treatment received by the team after winning the championship also proves from the side that local governments and people attach importance to this football event.

  Back in Gunma County, the team’s parade in the downtown area of Qianqiao County attracted 30,000 people. Subsequently, the team was awarded the "County Citizen Honor Award" in Gunma County, which was founded in 1994. Prior to this, only astronauts had won it from Jing Qianqiu, Sumo Kungfu, the baseball department of Tongsheng No.1 University, Ogiwara Kenji, who won the gold medal in the Winter Olympics, and the baseball department of Maebashi Yuying High School.

  High exposure and great influence

  The regional qualifiers of Japan’s senior high school football league are organized and arranged by local football associations, while the national competition is hosted by Japan Football Association, Japan Senior High School Sports League and 43 TV stations headed by Japanese TV station NTV. The event is broadcast live all over the country with extremely high exposure. In addition, Yomiuri Shimbun, as a backup unit, its newspapers and magazines will also report the competition greatly.

  In order to attract popularity and expand influence, the Japanese High School Football League has invited professional players who have participated in the High School Football League as image spokespersons since 2002, and the spokesperson for 2017 is Yuya Osako. Eiji kawashima, Shinji Okazaki, Gaku Shibasaki, Makoto Hasebe, etc. have all served as spokesmen among the Japanese national team members who played in the Russian World Cup recently.

  There is also a female image representative in the league, also known as the "aid manager", and many famous Japanese female artists have played this role. In addition, each league has its own theme song and sells products around the competition.

  The high exposure of high school football league attracted the sponsorship of Teijin, Toyota, Puma, Meiji, Fuji Xerox and other large enterprises. Hitachi, Nissan, Mitsui, Nike, Sanyo, Taisho Pharmaceutical and Coca-Cola were also sponsors of the league.

  Inject fresh blood into professional football

  The annual Japanese High School Football League has become an important place for professional clubs to select new stars. At present, Japanese professional football players mainly come from two channels: the youth training echelon of the club, and the football associations of universities and high schools. A big competition like the high school league is a great opportunity for players to show their abilities and move towards a career path.

  The most talked about example is keisuke honda, who played for the Japanese team in the Russian World Cup recently. Honda was eliminated by the youth training echelon of Gamba Osaka, and then returned to Xingling High School in Ishikawa Prefecture. Later, it performed well in the high school league and was contested by nearly ten clubs, and finally embarked on the road of professional players.

  In addition, Gaku Shibasaki and other Japanese international players are also from high school teams, and they are recruited by professional clubs because of their outstanding performance in the competition.

  In addition to Japan’s senior high school football league, the Gaoyuan Palace Cup football championship and the comprehensive sports conference of Japanese universities have also attracted much attention. According to Japanese media statistics, many teams play more than 200 games every year. Large and small competitions have created rich practical opportunities for Japanese high school teams to help them improve their strength quickly, even if professional teams face them, they should not be taken lightly.

  In addition, campus teams and competitions have also made great contributions to cultivating football atmosphere and popularizing football culture. According to Kensuke Yamada, coach of Maebashi Yuying High School Football Team, there are more than 4,000 large and small high school football teams in Japan. "Even if there are 50 people in each team, there will be 200,000 people. These high school students will engage in football-related jobs in the future, such as being professional players, coaches and instructors, or just becoming fans, which will promote the development of Japanese football."

53.8 million, back to the Lakers! Pelinka works perfectly, and being bombarded proves your ability.

With the end of the NBA Summer League, basketball fans have officially entered the most boring stage of the year. At this point in time, even the NBA trading and signing have almost come to an end. However, then, the men’s basketball World Cup is about to start. The men’s basketball training teams in all countries have basically assembled and started preparing for the next World Cup. Obviously, the American men’s basketball team and the Canadian men’s basketball team are the two popular teams to win the World Cup, while the American men’s basketball team, although it seems that the lineup is not full of stars, is actually very outstanding as long as it is in place. 4 years, 53.8 million yuan, back to the Lakers, Pelinka’s operation is commendable, and being scolded by all parties can prove your strength.
Previously, the American men’s basketball team had been fully assembled, and the official also showed the dynamics of players wearing American jerseys. Among them, the Lakers official specially showed the photos of Austin Reeves’ arrival report to share with the fans. Reeves’ new style not only appeared to be mature, but most importantly, his resume of entering the American men’s basketball team this time was amazing, and if you think about it carefully, Reeves’ whole career experience was enough to make a documentary. You know, up to now, Reeves is just a young player who has only experienced two years of NBA career. At this time two years ago, he was just a draft loser, signed a two-way contract with the Lakers, and his future was in doubt. Whether he could stay in the NBA was also uncertain. Two years later, Reeves has become the core of the Lakers, joining the American men’s basketball team and going to the World Cup.
Of course, you can also think that Reeves was selected for the American men’s basketball team because the strength of this American men’s basketball team is not good enough and there is a lack of top stars. Otherwise, he would not have caught the last bus of the American men’s basketball team. However, look at their potential starting lineups, such as Halliburton, Edwards, Ingram, bridges, and Jahn Jackson Jr. Who is not the core of their respective teams? Who is not a star with a market value of about $40 million? In the eyes of many people, there are indeed many players who deserve to be selected more than Reeves, but to some extent, Reeves has not received enough respect, at least in the eyes of the industry, he is good enough.
Cole is the first sign that Reeves entered the national team. The reason he gave is very simple. In the series between the Lakers and Warriors, Reeves beat the Warriors for six consecutive games. In Cole’s eyes, Reeves is a player who can hold the ball, handle the ball, attack, have outstanding defensive awareness and make no mistakes. The American men’s basketball team needs such an all-round player. Choosing Reeves is a decision that does not need to be considered at all. In addition to being affirmed by opponents, including Beverly and Russell, players who have worked with Reeves, they all praised Reeves in the podcast program. Beverly bluntly said that Reeves’ players are in the top 10 in the league, and Russell even called Reeves a "killer".
But this player who averaged 20+5+5 in the Western Conference finals proved his player on the highest stage, but he was not recognized by the fans. In addition to Lakers fans, other fans made all kinds of cynicism about Reeves, especially when he won the free throw. Reeves was considered to be in the Lakers, so he got so many free throws and gave him some negative nicknames, and he was always reluctant to recognize Reeves’ ability and his performance. In fact, Reeves contributed nearly 17+4+5 per game in the playoffs. His shooting percentage and three-point percentage reached 46.4% and 44.3% respectively, and he made only 3.6 free throws.
But from another angle, only the strong will have a bunch of skeptics. If one day no one talks about Reeves, this is the real sorrow. If someone likes you, someone will hate you. Reeves has become a player with high attention, and his business value has improved rapidly. A very simple example, Reeves’ annual salary of the sneaker endorsement contract exceeds that of the new FMVP Jokic. He is another player in the league who has a personal signature sneaker, and only more than 20 people in the whole league have this treatment. Similarly, Jokic has not yet owned his own endorsement sneaker.
In this offseason, the operation of the Lakers has been unanimously recognized. The most crucial thing is that Reeves has returned to the Lakers lineup with a four-year contract of $53.8 million. Before this contract extension was reached, the Lakers kept releasing news that no matter how big the contract other teams gave Reeves, they would choose to match it, which made those similar Spurs and Rockets who wanted to compete for Reeves retreat. Because once they offer Reeves $100 million for four years, the Lakers will not only match, but also wait until the last moment of the match, almost pressing the whistle to match, locking up this part of their opponents’ salary space and affecting their signings. Pelinka’s strategy was a great success. Reeves was considered as a value-added contract for the next four years, and his highest annual salary was only $14.9 million.

Blue moon dynasty! Manchester City locked in the Premier League championship and achieved 3 consecutive championships +6 years and 5 championships!

In the 37th round of Premier League, Arsenal lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest, sending Manchester City to win the championship three times in advance.

With only one round left in the league, Arsenal fell behind Manchester City by four points, and the Blue Moon Army locked the top spot in advance with three games less, achieving three consecutive Premier League titles.

This is Manchester City’s fifth Premier League title in the past six seasons, and it was only in the 19-20 season that Liverpool took the title.

In addition, this is the ninth English top league champion in Manchester City’s history, the seventh Premier League champion in Manchester City’s history, and the second club to win the Premier League, second only to Manchester United’s 13th championship.

According to statistics, Manchester City has become the fifth team in the history of English top leagues to win three consecutive championships. The first four teams are Hazen, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, among which only Manchester United has won three consecutive championships twice.

Premier League officials have confirmed that Manchester City will lift the Premier League trophy after tonight’s home game against Chelsea.

The British emperor star "fired", the Tottenham coach was in jeopardy, and it was time for Kane to transfer.

Another four-empty season, the Premier League powerhouse Tottenham was eliminated by AC Milan in the Champions League semi-final, and the only remaining hope of this season was dashed. But they are as many as 18 points behind the top Arsenal in the league, and it is still unknown whether they can enter the Champions League next season.

After being eliminated by AC Milan, Tottenham captain Harry Kane’s remarks about coach Kong Di made people think. He said,As players, we have done our best, and the coach can’t ignore the players’ efforts after losing in the league.The implication is that Kong Di is not satisfied with the players’ performance, while Kane, as the captain, is more or less questioning Kong Di’s coaching ability. In the one and a half years since Kong Di became the coach of Tottenham Hotspur, although he has also created an unbeaten record for nine consecutive rounds, and at the beginning of this season, Tottenham scored 23 points in the first 10 rounds to break the team’s historical record, however, in the second half, the gap was gradually widened by opponents such as Arsenal, and there was no hope of winning the championship.

Although Tottenham are not European giants such as Real Madrid, Bayern and Manchester City, their lineup and strength are extremely competitive. There are many big-name players in the team, such as Harry Kane, Sun Xingyu, Risalizon, Perisic, Lori, etc. However, the contradiction between Kong Di’s deployment and players has intensified, and the recent situation of Tottenham Hotspur is worrying, and Kong Di’s position is in jeopardy. It seems that the rumored news that tuchel will replace Kong Ershuai is not groundless. As for Harry Kane’s remarks, what he said is "we just lack one thing", which may be Kong Di’s coaching ability.

It is a pity that British Emperor Star didn’t win a decent championship during his ten-year career at Tottenham Hotspur. The 29-year-old Harry Kane’s contract with Tottenham Hotspur is about to expire, so maybe it’s time to say goodbye. At present, the potential next homes are Real Madrid, Bayern and Manchester United. Among them, the Red Devils Manchester United coach Tenghage took it as the first candidate for the striker. If he can join successfully, the "Lacey Connection" of the English team will reappear in the Premier League and contribute to the revival of Manchester United.

For the England captain, if he wants more, maybe Real Madrid is his right choice. Mr. Golden Globe Benzema is 35 years old, and his contract with Real Madrid is short. The Galaxy battleship urgently needs a young striker to supplement Benzema’s position. Harry Kane’s role and comprehensive strength in the striker are not inferior to those of French stars. Moreover, Real Madrid seems to love the players of Tottenham Hotspur. Bell and modric are both from White Hart Lane, and they have also achieved success in Real Madrid. The Spanish media also broke the news that Real Madrid is in close contact with Harry Kane, and fans are very happy to see the British emperor come to the Bernabeu as long as the salary is reasonable.

As the captain of both England and Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane doesn’t need to prove his worth with a champion, but it is a loss to let such a shooter "waste" at White Hart Lane.
