With the East Asian Cup and Hangzhou Asian Games men's football tournament in full swing, the normal conduct of the Chinese Super League is also a growing concern. Previously, some people within the professional league proposed that during the two events, the Chinese Super League and the Chinese A League should be carried out as usual, and through the flexible personnel appearance preferential policy to "compensate" for the appearance of the U23 international players. However, nowadays, most of the main players of the U23 national football team are already the core or important substitutes of the clubs, such as Zhu Chenjie of Shenhua and Dai Weijun of Shenzhen Football. In addition, the U23 national football team in Hangzhou during the Asian Games may be in accordance with the provisions of the recruitment of some over-age players to join the team. If the league does not stop at this time, then some clubs, especially the U23 national football players to send more clubs, such as Shenhua, may cause a loss of strength, which in turn affects the fair competition of the league.
In the face of this situation, the tournament organizers have had to revisit the idea of setting aside game time during the professional league for the U23 national football team to participate in two major international tournaments.
It is worth mentioning that the CFA and CFL preparatory team had tried their best to get the new season of the Chinese Super League to start around May 7th. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Shanghai Shenhua, seaport two teams about when they can leave Shanghai to go to the league tournament area so far has not been a clear schedule. The selection process is still underway. Therefore, it would be an ideal result if the Chinese Super League could start in mid-May.
The postponement of the league's start date means that the space for fixture scheduling will be further squeezed. Once the CFA and CFL preparatory team agree to reserve time for the U23 national soccer team to participate in the tournament, the Chinese Super League is likely to face a prolonged shutdown from the latter half of July to the first half of August and the whole month of September. The difficulty of scheduling the Chinese Super League to complete all 34 rounds of matches is evident. At present, the first phase of the Super League has been confirmed to use the group tournament system, and if the league can not start in mid-May, then due to a variety of factors, the league is likely to face the situation of the entire season using the tournament system.
As of April 19, the new season of the Chinese Super League schedule has not yet been determined, the Chinese Football Association, CFA preparatory group need to make use of the limited time as soon as possible to make relatively reasonable arrangements, "whether the league for the national team to make way for" the issue of careful consideration.
