PS, high-energy warning: This chapter contains a lot of popular science content, don't like to enter it by mistake!

The final deadline for player registration in the Bundesliga this season is September 1, but before that, clubs can submit their list of registered players at any time.
The Bundesliga's player registration rules may be the most relaxed among the five major leagues, with an upper limit of 99 players and a lower limit of 15 players. Since it is impossible for any team to register all ninety-nine first-team players, this upper limit can be interpreted as no upper limit.
In addition, in terms of restrictions on non-EU players, the Bundesliga is also the most lenient.
Among the five major leagues, Serie A is the strictest. Although it seems that Serie A does not limit the number of non-EU players in a club, it has very strict requirements for the introduction of non-EU players, stipulating that each team can only import from abroad at most every season. Two non-EU players, and every time a non-EU player is introduced, one of the original non-EU players in the team will either leave the team and go to a foreign club-whether it is leaving at the end of the contract or leaving by transfer, loan Either way - or get an EU passport at the end of the season and become an EU player. In 2003, in order to introduce non-EU player Kaka, Milan first sold the Nigerian player Aliu in the team to the Belgian Standard Liege as a replacement.
Although there is no limit on the number of non-EU players in the Premier League, there is a "labor certificate" threshold for signings. If a non-EU player wants to join a Premier League club, he must be a national team player of his nationality. In the past two years, representing the national team has participated in more than 75% of the international A-level competitions, and his country must have an average FIFA ranking of the top 70 in the world in the past two years. This is done to ensure the quality of non-EU players in the Premier League. "Labor certificate" is a nightmare for Chinese players. Of course, the level of Chinese players and the Premier League clubs are basically not looking down on them...
La Liga's non-EU player limit stipulates that each team can only have a maximum of three non-EU players, but La Liga also adopted an agreement at the same time - the "Ctonou Agreement". Under the agreement, players from the seventy-nine member nations of Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific will enjoy the same treatment as EU players. In addition, due to the reciprocity policy, players from Turkey and Russia are not restricted by the number of non-EU players in La Liga.
Ligue 1 has no limit on the number of first-team registrations, but there is a maximum of four non-EU players per team. However, like La Liga, Ligue 1 also abides by the Cotonou Agreement, and member states in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific are not restricted by non-EU players. At the same time, because France has a large number of colonies in Africa, French is one of the official languages in Africa, which also facilitates a large number of African players to join Ligue 1.
As for Asian players who have no advantages in terms of language and policy, the most suitable first stop in Europe is the Bundesliga.
The Bundesliga rules regarding the number of non-EU players is... no limit! Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten...all are fine.
In fact, the previous Bundesliga also had restrictions on the number of non-EU players, but since the summer of 2006, the Bundesliga has canceled the limit on the number of non-EU players, and replaced it with a way to ensure local training of players: they require four players in the first team. Players who have played for their home clubs for at least three seasons or thirty-six months between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one, and at least two of them are youth trainees of their own team (both of which have nothing to do with the nationality of the players). The so-called 2+2 policy,
Later, it developed into 4+4, that is, eight players trained by the country and four players trained by the club.
Unlike several other leagues that limit the number of foreign players in order to help domestic players get more opportunities, the Bundesliga does not limit the number of foreign players, but vigorously develops youth training. This may be due to their confidence in their own youth training level. The young players are outstanding, no matter how much non-EU foreign aid is, they cannot take away the jobs of their own local players.
The result of this approach also proved the self-confidence of the Germans.
Their youth training has blossomed. Last year and the year before last, Germany’s youth teams of all ages won consecutive European Youth Football Championships. In the Bundesliga, more and more young players are playing in clubs. The game, and even provoked the leader.
This fully shows that attaching importance to youth training does not necessarily have to limit the number of foreign aid, and there is no necessary relationship between the two.

Before the start of the first round of the league, each Bundesliga team submitted their first version of the player registration list.
The media also reported on the first-team rosters of each team.
In addition, on the official website of the Bundesliga, you can also check the registration list of the first team of each team.
As for Dortmund's first team registration list, the Chinese media may be the most concerned. During this period of time, I don't know how many domestic media reporters kept refreshing the Bundesliga official website, waiting to see if Zhou Yi could finally stay in the first team.
Hard work pays off, after a few days of waiting, Dortmund's first-team roster finally appeared on the Bundesliga official website!
The Chinese reporters in front of the computer screen couldn't wait to find familiar names among them.
The first team list is arranged according to the number from "1".
So the first one is the main goalkeeper, No. 1, Weidenfeller.
Then No. 2 and No. 3 are empty.
No. 4 Nevin Subotic, No. 5 Sebastian Kyle.
No. 6 is vacant.
Tinga No. 7. No. 8 Nuri Shaheen. No. 9 Valdes. No. 10 Mohammed Zidan. No. 11 Dimitar Langelov.
No. 12 is vacant.
No. 13 Damien Le Talay. No. 14 Markus Feuerner. No. 15 Mats Hummels. No. 16 Yakub Blaszczykowski——Because the name is too long and complicated, everyone calls him "Kuba".
No. 17 Dede. No. 18 Lucas Barrios. No. 19 Kevin Gross Kreutz. No. 20 Mark Ziegler. No. 21 Hunemeier. No. 22 Sven Bender.
23rd...
"Zhouyi!" The reporter in front of the computer screen yelled, and people around him gathered together at the same time.
"He's in the first team!"
"Really! The young man is awesome!"
"It's amazing! The Bundesliga has Chinese players again!"
The crowd around the computer burst into cheers.
And this news was soon not only limited to the editorial department of the media. Soon, on the Chinese Internet, the news that Zhou Yi was registered by Dortmund for the new season's league squad quickly spread.
Portal websites, QQ groups, forums... wherever the fans are, everyone is discussing this matter.
Exuberant, enthusiastic, full of visions and fantasies about the future.
They have already begun to imagine seeing Zhou Yi in the Bundesliga live broadcast.
TV stations in China have always had a tradition of broadcasting the Bundesliga, so it is not difficult to watch the Bundesliga in China.
Unlike the Premier League, if Zhou Yi went to a Premier League team, he could only watch it online. In terms of China's network construction, most people are still using 4M broadband at this time. Watching the live broadcast of the game It is too stuck.
And if Zhou Yi joins a La Liga team, although there are live broadcasts in China, if you want to watch the game, you can only get out of bed in the middle of the night and watch it. The freshness of the field is okay, but it is really difficult to watch it for a long time.
This is also the reason why the influence of La Liga in China has always been limited.
Let alone the fact that Serie A has declined in an all-round way.
The Bundesliga is simply the best choice for Chinese fans. Not only is there free live broadcast, but the live broadcast time is often very good. Most of the games are at 9:30 or 10:30 p.m. Beijing time. It is convenient for everyone to watch the game. After watching the game, you can go to bed directly without delaying your rest.
In the new season, they will see Zhou Yi's game on TV!
Through media reports before, I know that Zhou Yi performed well in the Dortmund youth team and became the core, helping the Dortmund youth team win the double championship of the Youth German Cup and the Youth League, but no one knows how Zhou Yi played on the court. See. Now most people's impression of Zhouyi's performance on the field is still in the program of "Successor of the Green Grass".
After that show, they never saw the video of Zhou Yi playing football again.
But now, when they think that they can see Zhou Yi playing football on TV, many fans are excited.
The broadcast level of the Bundesliga is recognized as good. They can not only watch it, but also watch it clearly and enjoy it.
The portal quickly published the news reports written by reporters on the first-team roster, analyzing what it means for fans, or bragging about Zhouyi-these are what fans love to see, Chinese football and so on. In 2010, it almost fell to a trough, and everyone shouted and beat them as rats crossing the street, and many jokes about black Chinese football were born.
In such a dark environment, Zhou Yi was like a ray of light shot from behind the fans, illuminating the way forward for all the fans walking in the dark, and at the same time giving them some comfort and courage.
With such a ray of light suddenly appearing in the absolute darkness, how many people can remain calm at this moment?
Must be ecstatic, can't care about other things...
Through the changes in the mentality of Chinese fans over the years, we can see how bad our football is.
In the past, everyone expected the national team to perform well, but now no one cares about the national team's performance. Anyway, neither the Olympics nor the World Cup can make it to the finals. In 2008, the hosts took advantage of the opportunity to enter the Olympic finals. All battles are black, losing the ball and losing people.
Now as long as there is a Chinese player who can play in the top five European league teams, it is enough to make Chinese fans happy for a long time.
But even such a humble request is becoming more and more difficult to achieve.
The cold winter of Chinese football has spread from home to overseas. This period of time is also a cold winter for Chinese players studying abroad.
Zhou Yi is now the one who breaks the ice in everyone's eyes. Whether he wants to or not, he is not playing football for himself now, but shoulders more responsibilities and sustenance.
This kind of hope will become a constant pressure. With the fragile psychological quality of Chinese players, few people can withstand this pressure.
What about Zhou Yi?
