Taishan's AFC Champions League and Chinese Super League fixtures are scheduled to skillfully avoid a collision. The Football Association (FA) had already anticipated the timing of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals when planning the schedule, and cleverly left a three-day buffer in the schedule, which is in line with FIFA standards. The first three rounds of the tournament are arranged at home, the advantage of playing at home is self-evident; while the fourth round of the tournament is to be played on the road, and before facing Yokohama has more than three days of full rest, which is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for the team's preparation.
