On May 10, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) released the third training notice for 2021, revealing that "China's national men's soccer team will start training and participate in relevant tournaments from May 14 to June 16, 2021, in Shanghai and Suzhou, Jiangsu Province."
This training session is six days earlier than the scheduled May 20th. At the same time, according to the consultation, the match between Henan Songshan Longmen and Guangzhou, originally scheduled for May 15, and the match between Beijing Guoan and Hebei on May 16, will also be postponed until after the Top 40 tournament.
Preparation 6 days in advance
This will be the final bonding exercise for the National Football League's Top 40, six days earlier than previously scheduled.
On April 8, the 2021 Chinese Super League season schedule was announced. In the schedule, the first phase of the tournament will be played in a "5+9" format, with five rounds of matches from April 20th to May 17th, until June 21st, when subsequent matches will be played. This is a concession made by the Premier League for the 40-team tournament by not scheduling any matches for the week before or after the 40-team tournament, so that the international players can focus on playing for their country.
Now, the Nationals' demands have escalated again.

Not only in the time required to advance training, but also proposed to postpone the May 15 Henan Songshan Longmen and Guangzhou team, May 16 Beijing Guoan and Hebei team game, in order to let the Guangzhou team and Beijing Guoan this two "big international football" have more adequate preparation time, other tournaments will remain unchanged.
This arrangement has sparked no small amount of controversy. Regardless of the role of training six days in advance, just from this sudden move, it is enough to see that the Football Association of the league rules of disregard. After all, the fifth round of the Chinese Super League has opened on May 14th. Against prior planning, the temporary call-up of international players to participate in training is inherently unfair to teams with a large number of international players. The postponement of only two matches, Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan, has further distorted the already unfair system. In the two matches on the 14th alone, five players from Shandong Taishan's Artemisia Junmin, Jin Jingdao and Wu Xinghan, Hebei FC's Yin Hongbo and Guangzhou City's Tang Miao were called up to return to the team. Since the Football Association has made arrangements for the postponement, why can't they treat everyone the same and postpone the fifth round of the Chinese Super League as a whole?

In fact, the entire post-delay of the fifth round of the Chinese Super League is also the Chinese

One of the options prepared by the Association.
On May 9, the working alliance preparatory group temporarily summoned 16 Super League clubs for an online general manager meeting. The meeting pointed out that the national team needed to train earlier and asked the 16 clubs to vote on the match modification program. Among them, the No. 1 proposal was to adjust only the most affected matches between Guoan and Hebei (Suzhou Region), Guangzhou team and Henan Songshan Longmen (Guangzhou Region), both Guoan and Guangzhou teams have more than five or more international players; the No. 2 proposal was to postpone the entire fifth round of the Chinese Super League (CSL). Two sets of programs by the 16 clubs general manager to vote. Relevant sources revealed that the final No. 1 program passed with a high vote. 16 clubs with 13 votes in favor of the No. 1 program, 2 abstentions, 1 vote against. According to the principle of minority to majority, the final decision to adjust only two matches.
Granted, delaying just two matches will have a much smaller impact on the league than postponing an entire round of matches. It is understood that Shandong Taishan, Henan Songshan Longmen, Hebei, Shanghai Shenhua and other clubs that outsiders believe have been partially impacted by the program have expressed their understanding of the plan.
After all, this year's mid

The most important task is the Top 40 competition. From the Premier League format to the fact that the clubs are all in the center

The green light was given. The league automatically left a window of time for the 40-team tournament, which is the biggest concession for the national team. However, it is clear that national team manager Li Tie is not satisfied. China

The association and the working league likewise acquiesced to Li Tie's demands on several consecutive occasions, allowing the demand for national team training to expand, even as it has threatened the impartiality of the professional league.
"Fear of injury" should not be an excuse.
On May 7, in response to the issue of the advancement of the national team training, the national team and the working alliance launched a coordination meeting. At the meeting, some people directly questioned the national team coaching team: "What exactly are the reasons and justifications for your request to advance the training?" "As coaches, don't you know that the effect of adjusting the players' competitive state through official matches like the league will be worse than the effect of your national team's only training and no matches?" According to relevant reports, during the meeting, the national team coaching staff could not give a more appropriate statement, and the unapologetic reason given was, "Fear of injury!"
This argument seems reasonable, but think about it, when the "fear of injury" can also be used as a reason for a soccer team not to play, and why expect it to play well? In the top five leagues, fear of injury is never a reason for the national team to break the rules of the league and arbitrarily require early assembly to prevent the national players from playing football.
Of course, everyone is looking forward to the national football team to get out of the line, longing for the national football team to stand in the center of the world green field one day. But can relying on privilege to make endless demands really have a good effect?
"The national team and the club share the same honor and disgrace. This ship is moving forward and encountering storms that require us to work together, and if this ship runs aground, no one will be spared." On April 1 in
