The opening of the new Chinese Super League season has yet to be finalized, and this, coupled with the fact that several players have been taken away recently, has made the prospect of the opening of the Super League not very clear. The Super Cup will begin on April 8, with Shandong Taishan playing Wuhan Sanzhen. The opening of the new Chinese Super League season will end on April 15, a week after the Super Cup, according to Beiqing Sports. The national team will return to China immediately after completing warm-up matches at the end of March, and every international player will return to each home to prepare for the tournament.
Last season, the Chinese Super League expanded to 18 teams, but the teams kept disbanding, and this season remains the same, with access delayed again and again. According to Beiqing Sports, the new season of the Chinese Super League will be narrowed down to 16 teams, which means that two teams will be disbanded, and the Football Association has decided not to replace them, and the new season of the Chinese Super League would rather be lacking in the first delinquent list released by the Football Association, which does not list many of the Chinese Super League teams, and is already on the brink of danger, and it will be difficult to turn the situation around.
Among them, Chengdu Rongcheng has already resolved the dispute and has little problem with access for the new season, mainly focusing on Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Due to salary arrears, these two teams were not included in the access list for the last time. So far, the two teams still have no solution, before the news dissolved, but in the absence of finalization, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are still looking for ways to solve the financial problems, at present, it is difficult to find a way, the two teams are currently training normally, but also retain a glimmer of hope.
Shenzhen team has a lot of disputes, including foreigners and domestic players. Dai Weijun is the focus of the international players. He has filed for arbitration. In addition, the team's general manager Ding Yong has been taken away, and there is little hope for Shenzhen to retain. Other teams are also eyeing many players. Dai Weijun and Yuan Mincheng are both favorites. Under the leadership of Li Weifeng, Guangzhou City struggled to stay in the relegation last season, but there is still no progress in the share reform. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a "miracle" to solve the dilemma similar to the one faced by the Shenzhen team.
March 20, which is the final deadline for access to the Premier League, but the Football Association seems to have turned a blind eye again, with the final access list due to be announced next week, which means another week's delay. The Football Association is doing this, and in truth, it's a helpless move, and I fear that more than just two teams will need to be disbanded from access if the time is indeed strictly enforced. Guangzhou will be hard pressed to make up for the fact that the Super League has been narrowed down to 16 teams, relegation quotas, timetables, etc. will be affected, with some teams facing disbandment and a large number of signings.
Beijing Guoan have brought in some strong assistance to return to the championship and are expected to hold the opening ceremony. Although Shandong Taishan is facing many problems, the team has a relatively thick base and is overall unaffected. Wuhan Sanzhen is very low key and has no clear goals for the new season. Teams such as Dalian Ren, Qingdao Hainiu, Cangzhou Lions and Nantong Zhiyun will compete for the relegation quota. If there is only one less, there will be much less pressure to compete. Whether it will return to 18 teams next year is also an open question. The Chinese Super League should start as early as possible and have a full season.
