The 2021 season marks the first time that a professional league preparatory group has stepped up to the forefront to operate and manage the

The original plan, and even have taken into account if the epidemic prevention situation appears to improve, then the second half of the resumption of home and away, playing a full 30 rounds of the plan, but the change of the epidemic situation and the continuation of the national epidemic prevention and blocking guidelines, so that the national team to participate in the Top 12, the cost of the time of the demand is far more than in previous years.
The preparatory group for the original coalition has now given full consideration to

The demands of the preparation for the 12-team tournament and the plan for 22 rounds of competition set out at the beginning of the year was to ensure that the
national soccer team
Preparation together to ensure that the league does not span the year, but since the national team was forced to move the last three Top 40 matches to West Asia to start, everything has been disrupted. Originally scheduled for the national team on June 15 in Suzhou after playing the last match of the 40, June 21 to restart the league, but the reality of the situation is that the national team on June 17 to finish the game from West Asia back to Suzhou, counting 14 + 7 blocking period, the league resumed at the earliest to about July 15, the earliest. League preparatory group announced the first phase of the journey is still 9 rounds of the remaining league did not play, at least need about 40 days to digest the moment, that will certainly play until late August, but the problem is that the national team has now put forward the request for early training, in a shorter period of time to complete 9 rounds of competition, intensive journey of the degree of frenzy to fully test the team and the league management and broadcasting.
What to do with the three months of September, October and November when no league can be organized while giving way to the epidemic prevention and blocking guidelines, leaving only December left for the league in the year 2021? What do we do? What exactly are the pros and cons of each plan?
[30 rounds is empty talk and 22 rounds is a huge difficulty]
The preparatory group has been on the league how to continue to find the best solution plan, now there are four big plans: first, continue to play 30 rounds of the league, the home and away system is basically impossible, only across the year of the tournament system, but such an organization, at least to play until June 2022, perhaps in July to play, so that the other tournaments in Asia will be completely missed, so the completion of 30 rounds of the tournament is basically empty; second, only 22 rounds of competition, divided into across the year and not two plans: if you do not want to cross the year, then the remaining 9 rounds of the first stage (counting 14 rounds) within a month, and then the remaining 8 rounds of the first stage (counting 14 rounds). Only 22 rounds of competition, divided into two plans across the year and not across the year: if you do not want to cross the year, in a month to play the first stage of the remaining 9 rounds of competition (counting 14 rounds), and then the remaining 8 rounds of competition in December to play the end of the year; if across the year, in January 2022, but also for the national team to set aside time to prepare for the war, February is the Chinese New Year, the latter part of the year, you can play the game, but in March, 2022 season of the AFC Champions League The third, only 15 rounds, this sounds less, seems to be a very good time to organize, but in fact this is the most troublesome kind, because the need to play into the 7 + 4 + 4, that is, the team needs to change three times the district. Three stages, change three times the district, this is the organization and reception and epidemic prevention and other aspects of the work, is a huge pressure, not to mention, so fewer number of competitions, on maintaining the influence of the league, to maintain the team's competitive state, are the most unfavorable, and on the sponsor is also a huge loss.
Then open a detailed look at the feasibility of each plan: 30 rounds of competition across the year, this system is prevalent in Europe, in our country has also been proposed, but in terms of the actual situation, not feasible. Not feasible for two main reasons: first, with the other Asian national team system is contrary to the Asian intercontinental tournament can not be well harmonized and aligned; second, the northern team does not have the practice and competition conditions of the inter-annual competitions, the north into the December to the next year before April, the team can not be in the outdoor normal practice and competition, after all, the league can not be forever the club system, surely to restore the system of home and away matches; once the journey Organization to June-July 2022, which will directly affect the planning of all teams as a whole.
Plus playing 22 rounds, this number of competitions, as well as the organization of the system, is the most recognized by the salons, especially after playing the first stage of the division into the championship group and the
relegate
Groups, the top four of the two groups and the bottom four of the two groups will each form a different group again, and will only play against the other four teams in the different groups in a similar home-and-away format, which is considered superior to the 2020 elimination guideline for the organization of the tournament. Moreover, this 22-round program does not span years.
However, the current situation, want to organize such a competition, but also have to face great difficulties and challenges. If you want to play a full 22 rounds, you have to finish the remaining 9 rounds of the first stage before the national team trains again in August, and in the
national soccer team
The premise of early training is now required, which means that the league will be played 3 days at a time, an intensity that is
China Super League (soccer league)
The salons have never experienced it before. What's more, such intensive competition is a huge test on the staff allocation of the tournament broadcaster, the accuracy of referee's law enforcement, the physical exertion of players and the addition of injuries. Whether or not these 9 rounds can be completed will directly determine how the next phase of the competition is organized and conducted. If these 9 rounds can be played, then the remaining 8 rounds must be played in December. Because once to make way for the international competition day on January 27, 2022, then also to the national team to set aside at least 20 days of preparation time. 2022 February 1, there is the international competition day, followed by the New Year, February is still the international transfer window window period as well as the AFC Champions League teams to register the time, if the competition is finished in February, the AFC Champions League teams equal to the lack of winter training to start directly in March the AFC Champions League! Of course, the AFC Champions League team can send young players to participate in the same as this year, but in the long run, the AFC Champions League team will have to start the March AFC Champions League without winter training.
China Super League (soccer league)
The number of AFC Championship places will be further reduced. mid-July to August 2021
national soccer team
The month before the training to play 9 rounds, December to play 8 rounds, so on the quality of the league, broadcasting, competition intensity, referee's standard of punishment and so on, all is the limit of the type of challenge. Therefore, the organization of 22 rounds, whether it is across the year or not, also remains a dilemma.
[15 rounds of a program that sponsors can hardly afford]
The third remaining plan is to play only 15 rounds. If we only play 15 rounds, there are still 10 rounds left, two months is enough time to organize, but the first stage has already played 5 rounds, and we have to play 2 more rounds to change the district, every 4 rounds to change the district. This is a lot of work, not to mention that it's hard for sponsors to bear. Therefore, from a comprehensive point of view, 22 rounds of league play, is a variety of imperfect match system, the relative operability of the strongest, for the team, for the sponsors, as well as for the long-term development of the league, the most reasonable choice.

Association President Chen Xuyuan, in a recent interview with Xinhua News Agency, talked about the league to follow two guidelines: first, the league is the Chinese

The ball a very important pillar, can not be due to the national team dedication of the league; the second, during the preparation of the national team, competition
China Super League (soccer league)
The league must not be broken, and without the participation of national team players, the league loses a great deal of significance. "How can this year in this particular scenario put the
China Super League (soccer league)
The league is well underway and we are looking at three detailed programs that also seek to
China Super League (soccer league)
Salon's opinion, which ultimately led to our widely accepted
China Super League (soccer league)
League Program."
In terms of the current situation, it is difficult to find the perfect plan advocated by Chen Xuyuan, which guarantees the league and supports the national team's early preparation. There has to be a compromise and appeasement, either the national team does not prepare for the game early, or maybe a few days less early, to give the league to add one to two competition days of organizational space; or the league to make serious concessions, in the high-intensity, high-intensity tournaments and the New Year's Eve tournaments before the two choose one. Once so, this involves frequent entry and exit of the competition area, as well as once the New Year, many internal and external aid contract expiration how to renew the matter, are all problems.
Therefore, as far as the journey adjustment work is concerned, no matter which plan is introduced, there will be dissatisfied voices appear, because there is no perfect solution. If we can see clearly the pros and cons of this as well as the logical relationship, more tolerance and understanding, the national team and the interests of the league tied together, seen as a consistent approach, dedication is also for the sake of the center!

The ball itself is sacrificed, and the stoicism is for a higher purpose, and probably many of those who can't figure it out figure it out.
