China capital frequently buys European clubs, which caused a great sensation in Europa. These measures reached a peak with the acquisition of Manchester City shares by Chinese culture. BBC Business (not sports channel) wrote an article analyzing China's capital action. Finally, they put forward a view that China's national football development can reach 15 years in Europe in 1 years, and claimed that the national football team will win the World Cup. The full text is translated as follows:

The official announcement of Manchester City said that the Chinese cultural industry investment fund from China invested 4 million US dollars to acquire 13% of the shares of City Football Group (the holding company of Manchester City). As the second largest economy in the world, China's football level has never matched the national strength, and the only bright spot is its entry into the World Cup finals in 22. At the same time, the broad masses of people in China seem to be more interested in NBA than football (Xiaobian: Is there Yao Ming in China? )。

China investors began to buy English, Spanish, French, Dutch and even Czech football clubs frequently. Why is China Capital interested in European football clubs now? On the one hand, the whole country is eager to have a better image on the world stage. On the other hand, it is necessary to develop China's own clubs and national teams and expand the fan base. Of course, it also includes the commercial presence that the funders themselves can gain in Europe.

Capturing competitiveness

"China likes to look omnipotent and demands success in every field she engages in," Simon Cha Duvic, president of the Sports Industry Association of Coventry University Business School, told us.

"But they are not doing well in a global popular sport-football. China urgently needs to improve its position in the international football world. "

He also said that China expects the domestic sports industry to reach $85 billion in 225. Optimistically, the current global sports economic output value is about 4 billion US dollars.

Mixed influence

Traditional families in China want their children to achieve academic success rather than sports, said Charles Duvic. Therefore, in order to improve the national football level, China began to establish American campus football.

This will greatly improve the football level of young talents, and at the same time, it will not delay them from studying or even entering the university.

The expert from Coventry University also said that China was influenced by Japanese J League when it established its domestic professional league. The Japanese national team has never been to the World Cup, but since 1998, they have reached the World Cup finals five times in a row.

China's domestic football market is gradually expanding, and the clubs controlled by Evergrande and Alibaba have also won the AFC Champions League. "I believe that China will eventually win the World Cup. They have a huge population base and countless resources, and the state's support can shorten the road that would have taken 15 years to 1 years."
