The Premier League was founded on February 20th, 1992/kloc-0, and became the top football league in England in the season of 1992-93. From 104, the history of English football league divided into four levels officially ended.
In the middle and late 1980s, many events clearly showed that professional football needed a fundamental reform.
56 fans were killed in the fire at Bradford Stadium. Then on May 29th, the last match between Liverpool and Juventus in the Champions League was even more tragic. Violence broke out between supporters of different teams, resulting in the death of 39 fans. For this reason, English clubs were banned from participating in European competitions by UEFA for five years. 1989, another football tragedy happened. In the semi-final of the FA Cup between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest held at Hillsborough Stadium on Wednesday, the stands collapsed due to the crowd, killing 96 fans and injuring 150 people.
English football is obviously in the doldrums. The stadium was crowded, the facilities were dilapidated, and football hooligans were everywhere, and they were driven out of the European stadium. Local clubs are declining, and many top players are lured by the money of continental clubs to transfer.
After the hillsborough incident, Justice Taylor put forward a huge investment plan to make the football field safe and comfortable and eliminate the past congestion. One of the important plans is to ensure that all the stadiums are equipped with seats.
English football has lost its luster and is seriously short of funds. By 1992, in order to improve the stadium facilities, the club is facing huge expenses. Many top clubs feel powerless in the transfer market, and the gap between their strength and European clubs is getting bigger and bigger during the suspension period.
If English football is to be reborn, it needs a thorough reorganization.
Immediately put forward the proposal of establishing a new league, which will bring more profits to football. 1991July 17, seven first-class clubs in England/kloc-0 signed an agreement, which became the basis for the formation of the Premier League.
The newly established top league will be independent of the Football Association and the Football League in operation, and the Premier League will have the right to broadcast and negotiate with sponsors.
1992 all the first-class clubs withdrew from the football league at the same time, and on May 27th, Premier League Limited was established, with its headquarters at Lancaster Gate.
The first thing in the Premier League is to reduce the number of teams from 22 to 20, which reflects everyone's common desire to improve their level. In the 1994-95 season, this change was finally completed.
The first Premier League game is on August 5th, 1992. When Brian Deane scored his first goal, few people could have imagined that the Premier League could develop so fast in a short time. One of the important reasons is the rapid development of the relationship between the Premier League and TV stations.
Television has played an important role in the history of Premier League development. The income from TV broadcasting is very important to the construction of the whole club inside and outside. The initial cooperation with Sky TV was a radical but successful decision. At that time, pay TV was still a new practice in the British market. However, with the marketing strategy of Sky TV, the high-quality matches in the Premier League and the public's love for football, the broadcasting cost of the Premier League is rising day by day, which finally brings huge profits to the club.
The first Sky TV broadcast agreement was five seasons 1.95438+0 billion pounds. As for the second contract, the negotiation result is that from the season of 1997- 1998, there are four seasons, and the broadcasting fee has risen to 670 million pounds. At present, the contract between the Premier League and Sky is 1 1 100 million pounds, starting from August 5438+0, 2006, for three seasons.
Broadcasting revenue and sponsors' investment make the Premier League the best in the world. 1980, the stadium facilities of the club are no different from 1880. The fans witnessed that their club invested 654.38 billion pounds to rebuild the stadium, making their stadium the pride of Europe.
Attracted by the high-level Premier League, Klinsmann, Zola, Vieri and many other stars have joined the Premier League.
The Premier League continues to attract the best players in the world. There are now 260 foreign players in the Premier League. The best testimony of the quality and level of Premier League matches is that 10 1 played in the Premier League among the stars who participated in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.
In addition, the Premier League has attracted many overseas big-name coaches. Famous coaches like Gullit, Wenger and Houllier all brought their rich coaching experience and superb coaching level to the Premier League.
The Premier League has gathered a large number of stars, coupled with wonderful games, and now it is increasingly favored by fans all over the world. Overseas coverage has reached 150 countries and regions, with nearly 450 million fans.
Some top teams in the Premier League can now compete with top teams in Europe. Manchester United 1999 won the Champions League, Arsenal 1994 won the Winners Cup, Chelsea 1998 won the Super Cup and Liverpool won the UEFA Cup 200 1. In the 2002-03 season, there were eight teams in the Premier League, namely: Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds United, Blackburn and Fulham.
Pursuing perfection in all aspects is the goal of the Premier League, which can be seen from the establishment of the structure of the Premier League Football Academy. The Football Association's Quality Charter was immediately issued at 1998. This investment in technology and facilities has created favorable conditions for training players who can play in Premier League clubs and national teams. Some college-trained students have now become the stars of the Premier League, such as Joe Cole and Duff. Moreover, the Premier League has also set up a reserve team to help football academy players improve their level and strive to get on the front line as soon as possible.
The Premier League has invested 20 million pounds in infrastructure and government cooperation. British sports organizations and football associations help ensure the funds needed for grassroots construction. The construction of these modern park courses can be used by local teams and schools, providing financial and tax support.
In the past 1 1 year, the relationship between the club and its supporters has been greatly improved. According to the recommendation of the football working group, the Premier League launched the club's customer charter to ensure that fans can get some fair returns from the club. The Premier League allows fans to have an annual inspection, and can supervise the discussion group of club supporters to fully understand their thoughts.
The history of the Premier League is a fixed standard that many leagues can follow. With the club, many new ideas can be put forward for discussion and implementation, so that the Premier League can maintain its position as the best league in China. Professional referees were introduced into the Premier League in 200 1-02 season. In Philip Tang, a group of referees formed a referee team, committed to improving the level of law enforcement and ensuring the consistency and health of the game.
The Premier League has cooperated with the club and made a lot of comprehensive community planning. Help children and the poor in the community through encouraging, educational and community-based programs related to football. We cooperate with Prince Trust, Football Aid, Kick it Out and other organizations and government departments to help thousands of people every year.
1 1 years later, the Premier League has now established its position as the best league in the world. More than 10000 league goals, with more than 1 100 million viewers. In the 200 1-02 season, the average attendance reached 34,324, an increase of more than 60% compared with the first season of the Premier League.
There is no doubt that Manchester United is the most successful team in the history of Premier League 1 1. They won eight of the 1 1 champions. This was created by their great coach Ferguson. But besides, there are other great players, great players and great moments. Like Blackburn's championship, Deglish's talented guidance and Shearer's goal.
Under the leadership of kevin keegan, Newcastle won the title of "performer" for the team; Arsenal won the double crown twice under the leadership of Wenger; Under the leadership of Gerard Houllier, Liverpool rose again and won the fifth place in the league. To be sure, there are many stories in the season. Every year, the teams at both ends of the standings are entangled. In fact, the championship of 1995- 1996 season is so close. On Thursday, May 16 that year, Wembley Stadium was booked and tickets were printed. Manchester United are ready to play another game against Newcastle to decide the title.
In the 200 1-02 season, the Premier League ended its 9-year cooperation with Carlin Company and began to establish a new cooperation with Barclays Card.
The first season after that witnessed a wonderful championship battle in the history of the Premier League. Arsenal have been invincible for almost the whole season. After Christmas, I never lost, scored every goal and finally won the championship. Only lost to Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle all season.
In the title race, the second season of Barclays Premier League is as exciting and tense as the first season. At the beginning of this season, Manchester United 18 were unbeaten, of which 15 won and 3 drew, and scored 48 points from the highest possible 54 points, surpassing Arsenal, which followed closely in the championship competition. Newcastle and Chelsea are also vying for the championship. Blackburn finished the season with Liverpool and FA Cup runner-up Southampton.
