Historical review of the five major leagues in Europe
History of premier league
England is the birthplace of modern football. According to historical records, football activities similar to today appeared in medieval England. By the beginning of19th century, football was quite popular in Britain. Due to the need to form a unified view on the football match,1October 26th,1863 10, relevant people gathered at Fremason Hotel in queen street, London, to discuss and agree to set up a football association. In addition to announcing the formal establishment of the Football Association, the meeting also formulated and adopted relatively unified football competition rules, which are the embryonic form of modern football competition rules. Its establishment marks the birth of modern football.
With the increasingly consolidated status of the English Football Association, its influence in the whole country is also growing, so the proposal of holding the Challenge Cup appeared on July 20th, 187 1. This proposal was put forward by Charles alcock, Secretary General of the Football Association. He hopes to attract all members of the association to participate in the competition and promote exchanges by holding the Challenge Cup. 187 1 year1October 16, this motion was passed.
What makes the English proud is not only that they founded the first football association, but also that they organized the first international match, which was1the match between England and Scotland on October 30th, 1872, 165438. The establishment of the English Football Association has promoted the vigorous development of football in some countries in Europe and Latin America, and various countries have established football associations one after another, thus promoting the establishment of FIFA and UEFA. It can be seen that England is indisputably called the originator of modern football.
1882 65438+On February 6th, the representatives of the four Commonwealth Football Associations in Manchester adopted the unified rules of football matches. In the following years, the rules were revised many times. 188 1 or so, the tendency of professional football began to appear, and the British Football Association recognized the legal status of professional football on June 20th. 1885. However, on the issue of professionalism, there has been a sharp conflict between the British Football Association and FIFA. The four Commonwealth Football Associations withdrew from FIFA twice from 1920 to 1924, 1928 to 1946 respectively, and did not participate in any activities of FIFA. It was not until 1958 that the two sides reached a consensus. In the same year, the British Professional Football Players Association was established.
1862, Nottinghamshire, the first football club in England, was founded. Since then, various football clubs have been established in England. By 1870, there are 39 football clubs in England, and by 188 1, there are 128 football organizations in England. Today, * * has 160 professional football clubs, 40 of which have a history of more than 100 years.
The Football Association Challenge Cup, founded in 187 1, is the first competition in England. The competition adopts the continuous elimination system, and the two sides of the competition will play a game in the venue decided by lot in advance to decide the outcome. The first Football Association Challenge Cup final in English history was held at 1872. From 1872 to * * 2000, 1 19 sessions were held. Because the FA Cup is not only attended by first-class teams, all teams in England can participate, so it is often cold, and many strong teams are defeated by weak teams, so it is called "a hotbed of sudden coldness". Today, English football is still growing.
In order to expand the influence of football, the English Football Association made a decision on March 22 1888 to establish a national first-class league. There were 12 teams in the first league. In the end, Preston won the first league title and successfully defended it the following year. 1892, the Football Association began to hold the second division; 1920, the third-level league appeared; 1958, adding D League. At this point, the English Football League has begun to take shape, divided into four levels: A, B, C and D, and implemented a relegation system. The English Football League is the earliest national unified league in the world, with the most perfect competition system. Later, countries all over the world widely used this league system for reference. 1992, in order to adapt to the growing football, the English Football Association established the Super League on the basis of the first league, and the original second, third and fourth leagues were upgraded accordingly. The first Premier League title was won by the powerful Manchester United team.
At present, the promotion and demotion system of the league is roughly like this: every year, the last three players in the Super League are reduced to the first class, the first two players in the First Class are directly promoted to the Super League, and the players in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth places will compete and decide two winners. Then, on the other day, we will play in a neutral stadium (usually Wembley Stadium) and decide the third team to advance to the Premier League. From b to a, from a to b, from c to b, from b to c, all are the same as the super promotion and demotion system. But the last four players in the third division were relegated to the fourth division, and the top three players in the fourth division directly advanced to the third division. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh runners also held home and away games to decide the two winners. Then, on the other day, there will be a game in a neutral stadium (usually Wembley Stadium) to decide that the fourth team will advance to the third division.

Serie a
Romantic and tender-hearted Italians are rich in imagination and creativity. In this hot land, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and other outstanding masters of humanities and arts were born, and Julius Caesar and Mussolini were also cultivated. Italians also give football a strong imagination. The Italian national team is the second team after Brazil to win the World Cup three times. /kloc-In the past 0/00 years, the Italians, with their unique European Latin style, stood with the European Power School and South American Technical School, and successively created modern football tactics such as "chain defense", "free central defender" and "quick counterattack", and created a large number of all-round excellent stars.
Any sport, without fans and fans, will be eclipsed, while eccentric Italians only give football as deep and persistent feelings. In the passionate Apennine Peninsula, football fans have reached 72% of the total population, and 30% of them are beautiful women. No wonder the whole Apennine Peninsula was immersed in a noisy ocean after the opening of the league on Sunday afternoon. The best stars, the most advanced tactics and the best management make Serie A exude striking charm. Superstars from all over the world gathered here to perform on the pitch of Apennine, with bright stars. AC Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Turin, Lazio, Rome, Parma, Florence and other famous teams. They have demonstrated their abilities by crossing the ocean, pushed the overall level of Serie A to an unprecedented peak, and turned Apennine Peninsula into a football hotspot attracting worldwide attention.
Here are the world's most famous Hulk, the most dazzling football superstar and the best football conductor. Their names excite everyone. This is the centenary celebration of the Italian Football League. ......
/kloc-At the end of 0/9 century, modern football spread from England to Italy, first appearing in the northern industrial city of Turin and the port city of Genoa. 1898 March 15, the Italian Football Association was announced. Only four teams applied to join the organization at that time. On May 8th, a warm spring day, the first Italian Football League was like a baby falling to the ground in Turin. The participating teams are Turin International Team, F.E. Turin Team, Turin Sports Team and Genoa Team. The game lasted only one day, and Genoa won the championship in two wars.
From this moment on, football, a powerful whirlwind, blew all over the Apennine Peninsula. More and more teams are participating, the level is getting higher and higher, and the audience is getting more and more enthusiastic. In the meantime, people debated and negotiated for a long time around the competition system, schedule, location and qualification.
Because the Italian Football Association was a loose organization at that time, it failed to manage the league well. Soon, the professional team and amateur team under the Football Association had a dispute over the competition system, time and place, which eventually led to division. The professional team then set up a professional football league to compete with the Football Association. Until the end of the First World War, the two organizations turned to war and reunited, and held the first national championship after the war in 1920. However, due to the large scale and complicated work after the merger, the Football Association made a wrong decision: instead of holding national competitions, it divided the team into several regions and held regional championships respectively. This wrong decision made the Football Association lose the unified management of the national football team and the right of newspapers and periodicals, and became an organization in name only. As a result, the national football team has stagnated and the survival of the team has become a big problem. It wasn't until 1929 that the Italian Football Association finally decided on a new competition system: teams were divided into four levels: team A, team B, team C, and team D. The competition adopted a double-cycle scoring system for home and away games (originally 2 points, now 3 points), and then the regional teams and newly formed teams were classified as selection teams, with qualifications below team D. After the new competition system was determined, Italian football swept away its decline and moved towards a healthy development.
The sun and the moon shuttle, and the stars shift. With a long history, Italian football has become more and more brilliant. 1980, the Italian Football Association announced the opening of the foreign star market, and each team can introduce two foreign stars. 1988 expanded to 3 people. 1993 changed to allow only three foreign players to play at the same time. After the "bosman incident", the number of foreign aid for each team was no longer limited, and only three non-European players were allowed to play at the same time. 1982, the Italian national team won the 1 1 Spain World Cup, so this passionate land became the cradle of the growth of football stars, and Italy became the world's leading football kingdom.
At present, Italy has 18 teams, B has 20 teams, C has 16 teams divided into two groups and D has 72 teams divided into four groups.
Big waves wash sand eastward, and the boundless years have passed a hundred years. After experiencing setbacks and storms, the Italian first-class football league finally brought together stars from all over the world, learned from others' strengths, eclectic and comprehensive, and created the world's highest-level competition. Serie A is known as "the first league in the world" and is the jewel in the crown of world football.

Bundesliga
Germany is the first European country to introduce football from the island of Great Britain. 19 in the 1970s, according to the rules of the game adopted by England in 1863, football developed rapidly in Germany. 1On October 28th, the German Football Association (DFB) was established in Leipzig. 1903 The final of the first German cross-regional national competition was held in Hamburg, and Leipzig won the championship. 1904, FIFA accepted Germany as a member state. After the long ups and downs, German football developed aimlessly and savagely. From the announcement of 1900 German Football Association to the allied occupation of Germany in World War II, the German Football Association has done a lot of work. With the end of World War II, Germany experienced a history of separation between East and West, and the German Football Association was forced to dissolve. 1947, the Federal German Football Association was established in Frankfurt under the jurisdiction of the three countries of West Germany. The following year, the Democratic Republic of Germany under the jurisdiction of the Soviet Red Army also established the Football Association. The Federal Republic of Germany began to organize leagues in the season of 1947- 1948, and the competition still followed the way of German leagues in the past, that is, the final was played by the best team during the league. This competition mode has been used until the 1962- 1963 season. During this period, the Federal Republic of Germany football gradually formed its own style, that is, power football, focusing on abundant physical fitness and perfect tactical cooperation. 1963- 1964 During the season, the Federal Republic of Germany reorganized the league and started a unified professional league. There are 18 teams participating in the first division of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is one of the most prestigious competitions in continental Europe. At the end of each season, the last three teams are relegated to the second division, and the top three teams in the second division are promoted to the first division. The second division is divided into north and south groups, with 20 teams in each group. The last four teams in Group B were downgraded to amateur teams and returned to their respective regions to participate in amateur leagues in their respective regions. In the Federal Republic of Germany, football is strictly controlled by the Football Association. Football in the GDR is amateur, and its league started from the season of 1949- 1950. Football in the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany is the same. Whether it is the understanding of football or the technical and tactical style, it shows a strong Germanic atmosphere, with good discipline, abundant physical strength, tenacious fighting spirit and overall cooperative spirit. 1990 After the World Cup, Germany, which had been divided for 45 years, finally moved towards reunification, and the two football associations merged into one and became the German Football Association. The unified German football basically followed the football system of the Federal Republic of Germany. The merger of the Democratic Republic of Germany once caused temporary confusion in German football. After four years of pain, German football has finally embarked on great unity. Some established clubs have raised the banner of German football, and some small and medium-sized clubs have stood firm by their own strength. This makes German football develop healthily and orderly. After a four-year transition period, the German first division remained at the level of 18 teams, and the last three teams in the first division were relegated to the second division every year. The top three in the second division were promoted to the first division, and the last three in the second division were reduced to the third division. League C is divided into three areas: East, South and North. The top two teams in each district entered the second stage and competed for three places to advance to the second division. The last two teams in each district compete, and the four teams with the worst results participate in regional amateur competitions.

Although the King's Cup in Spain had begun to take shape as early as 1902, and the Royal Spanish Football Association was also established in 1909 14 10, it was not until1928165438+/kloc. Because the Spanish national football team won the silver medal in the 1920 Olympic Games, which greatly promoted the popularity of Spanish football, football clubs all over the world hope to set up new competitions, so that there will be more competition opportunities to increase financial income and cope with the growing football situation. After repeated consultations in many aspects, the Spanish League was finally born. But the first Spanish First Division was actually held in 1929.
