The 8 rounds of league matches from December to January, the team also needs to consider the issue of players' contracts: many players' contracts are limited to a natural year, so the club can only lay out for the next year's new season in advance. The good thing is that the 12-round tournament will end in March 2022, and the next year's Chinese Super League will finally be able to avoid the biggest disruption.
