First of all, the league is an integrated competition organized by football clubs in cities and regions of this country. Each season is a year. Every season, all teams in the league play two games (one at home), the winner gets 3 points, the loser gets no points, and each team gets 1 point. After the end of the season, it ranked first, second and third according to points. If there are the same points, the ranking rules of each league are different, such as the Premier League, which will be considered as "winning". Under the same score, the number of goals MINUS the number of goals conceded will rank higher; Winning again depends on the results of these teams with the same points winning this season. LZ's Champions League is such a game between clubs and teams.
Followed by the national team: the national team is a football team composed of various countries representing the highest level of national football. Members are elected from all those who have the nationality of the country. If they have dual or multiple nationalities, then they can't represent other countries after representing one country first. LZ said that the World Cup is a competition between national teams.
Let me talk about the five major leagues. A league must be made up of club teams. This is also the job of football players. There is no salary for athletes to represent their national team (of course, there will be bonuses and so on), and the wages of players will be paid by their clubs. Just as your salary is paid by the company, you will occasionally volunteer for honor and obligation.
Premier League: English clubs in various regions (Scotland, Wales and Ireland all have their own leagues) form low-level leagues in England, such as the Premier League, the British Championship and League One, among which the Premier League is the top league. Every season, the last three teams in the Premier League are relegated to the British Championship, and three teams in the British Championship are promoted to the Premier League (the promotion rules are complicated, not to mention). The famous teams in the Premier League are Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and so on.
La Liga: Spanish regional club teams form low-level leagues such as La Liga, with La Liga as the top league. At the end of the season, the last three points fell into La Liga, which rose to the top three. The famous teams in La Liga include Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia and Seville.
Serie A: Needless to say, the promotion and demotion rules are the same. Well-known teams include AC Milan, Inter Milan, Rome and Juventus.
Bundesliga: The famous teams are Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen and Werder Bremen.
Ligue 1: The famous teams are Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Bordeaux.
The five major leagues are the top leagues in these five European countries. Because there are too many football clubs in England, the first division can no longer meet the needs of the league, so the British Championship and the Premier League came later. ...
Super League is a league in China. There was no Super League before. There were only first, second, third and amateur leagues at the beginning of the league. Later, there were too many lines. The first level is divided into two leagues, A and B. Later, A was renamed Super League, and A and B were renamed Zhongjia.
Event:
World Cup: As mentioned earlier, the World Cup is a competition between national teams, and most countries in the world will send teams to participate. First, the preliminaries are held on all continents, and the preliminaries adopt the points system (like the league). Finally, the qualifying national teams (with different places on different continents) will gather the host countries of the World Cup to participate in the group stage. There are four teams in each group, which is also a point system. After the game, the top two were promoted and the last two were eliminated. After that, we will have a knockout round, that is, draw lots to decide which team is better than which team. At the end of the game, the direct winner will be promoted to the loser and eliminated until the third place in the championship is finally decided. There are still some detailed rules, so I won't say much.
European Cup: It's similar to the World Cup, but it's only a competition between European teams. The schedule and rules are similar to the World Cup.
Asian Cup: Not much to say. Same nature as the European Cup.
Champions League: This is a club competition. League teams from all over Europe choose winners to participate in the Champions League according to their rankings in the league. For example, the first, second and third place in the Premier League directly participate in the Champions League, and the fourth place participates in the Champions League qualifiers; La Liga directly participated in the Champions League in the first and second place, and participated in the Champions League qualifiers in the third and fourth place. The details are different, so I won't go into details.
UEFA Cup: A European club competition below the Champions League. Because all the teams participating in the competition are the teams ranked lower in the national league. For example, the fifth and sixth teams in La Liga participated in this competition.
AFC Champions League: Like the nature of the Champions League, league teams from Asian countries only participate.
Therefore, Asian teams will not play in the Champions League.
As for the start time of each league, it depends on how the national football associations announce it every season (every year). But about the same time. Generally speaking, European leagues start in August of the second half of the year, and enter the winter break in 65438+February (the Premier League has no winter break because of too many events), and then start again in February next year, usually ending in May. Compare the league rankings, champions league rankings and European Union rankings of various countries this season.
The AFC Champions League has nothing to do with it. There is no competition between the two champions unless it is a friendly match.
There are relatively few events in the national team, generally speaking, there are: World Cup, cups held on various continents (South American Libertadores Cup, European Cup, Asian Cup, etc. ), football events in the Asian Games, football events in the Olympic Games and so on. Originally, it was voluntary labor for players to participate in the national team competition, and it was right to be less. After all, people have business to do (play for the club).
Generally speaking, there will be conflicts between the national team's events and the employment of the club. For example, when the African Cup of Nations is in full swing in major leagues in Europe, African players will return to the national team. At this time, the national team and the club will definitely have contradictions in personnel, but the average player will be happy to play for the national team. After all, this is a high honor and a good opportunity to improve your status.
