The current season of the Chinese Super League is facing unprecedented challenges, the reporter was informed. In the face of this predicament, the CFA and the CFL preparatory team are actively responding to try to minimize the impact.
The current outbreak of the epidemic has forced the Chinese Super League's program of full rehabilitation of home and away matches to be put on hold, with the tournament system having to be adopted in the early stages. However, with the passage of time, the original enthusiasm for hosting the event of the city's attitude has also begun to waver, the tournament organizer is difficult to determine the date of the start of the Chinese Super League is therefore pending, the Chinese Football Association and the CFA preparatory team is under enormous pressure. It is reported that in order to promote the resumption of this season's Chinese Super League as soon as possible, the relevant person in charge of the city with good conditions for hosting the tournament closely communicate with some cities, and even direct contact with certain local governments to seek support.
This season's Super League was scheduled to start in late April is no longer likely, can restart in May in the first and middle of the month, but also to see whether the conditions are in place. If the mid- or late-May start, the game needs to end before the start of the World Cup in November, about six months, 34 rounds of games need to be carried out an average of 5 to 6 rounds per month, the schedule is intensive, in the middle of the can no longer have a long break.
With a later start time, it would be a major challenge to complete the 34 rounds. Increasing the number of double matches a week, tightening the schedule and spanning the year become possible solutions. However, the continual double-header week puts clubs and players to the test. If the "conference system" and the "failure to play the full 34 rounds" measures are adopted, the CSL's copyright revenue and sponsorship fees will be seriously affected, as was the case in the 2021 season, and the CFA, the preparatory team of the CFL, the clubs, as well as the rights holders and sponsors have all suffered losses. The CFA, CFF preparatory team, clubs, as well as rights holders and sponsors have all suffered.
Yesterday, Hebei club announced that the first team will assemble for the battle on the 15th of this month, so far, all 18 teams in the Chinese Super League have been rumored. However, a Shanghai reporter revealed that how the Super League Shanghai duo traveled from Shanghai to the tournament area to participate in this year's Super League has also become a problem. The reporter said, such a large-scale team travel, out of epidemic prevention and control requirements, need to be approved by the Shanghai Municipality and the tournament area where the local authorities can be implemented. Whether it is the tournament system or later may be allowed to resume home and away as the objective conditions, the uncertainty of the teams traveling always exists.
No one can guarantee that there will not be new troubles until the last game of the season is over. With all these factors, expectations for the recovery of the Premier League should be adjusted.
