The club representatives decided to shorten the schedule at last week's league working meeting, compressing the 30 rounds of matches into 22 rounds and ushering in the birth of the "New Year's Eve War", as they have already passed the 40-team tournament and are preparing for the upcoming 12-team tournament.
The so-called "New Year's Eve" is in fact only a slightly longer span of events than New Year's Day, the remaining nine matches of the first stage will be played from July 18 to August 12 (with two byes on July 15 and July 16), while the eight matches of the second stage are scheduled to be held from December 1 to January 3 next year.

Two weeks have been set aside for training and preparation. This also means that the Premier League will enter a four-month-long break on August 12, and within the period from July 18 to August 12, teams will need to complete eight rounds of league matches.
For professional soccer players, the intensity of one match in three days is already the limit: in the past, three matches a week required teams to use substitutes for extensive rotation, but now the frequency of eight rounds of league matches, coupled with the hot and rainy weather in Suzhou and Guangzhou during this period of time, not only the players are physically and mentally exhausted, but also the turf of the stadiums is difficult to withstand the successive matches.
The gold content of this season's league champion has been reduced due to the revision of the schedule, in accordance with the new system, the second stage of the tournament is still using the points system, the first stage of the first stage of the ranking of the top 4 teams in each region will be with another group of ranking the bottom 4 teams in the double round-robin tournament within the group, the points of the first 14 rounds of the points and the last 8 rounds of the points added together, so as to determine the belonging of this season's Premier League Championship and the rankings of the order.

The league's more serious problems have been apparent since the league began:

The reserves of the league, the youth army of the top teams, have failed to show competitiveness for the next Olympic and World Cup cycles after being beaten badly by their opponents in this season's AFC Champions League. On the verge of qualifying for the World Cup final round

The so-called "hopefuls" who have struggled to gain a foothold in the tournament. after the group stage of the AFC Champions League on July 10, the reserves of Shanghai Seaport, Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan delivered dismal results in the group stage, which has raised concerns about the future of the young players.
The 1997 age group players are the best in the current Chinese Super League and they were supposed to be the ones to pick the

big banner of ageable players, but lost all three of their matches in the qualifiers and went out in disgrace. Their peer rivals, the Japanese national Olympic team, with as many as nine players playing overseas, thrashed Ghana and Jamaica in warm-up matches last month, a prudence that really deserves to be emulated.
The 2001-age players who were savaged by their opponents in the AFC Champions League are the very same players who will be the right age for the next National Olympic team. Perhaps the league's compressed schedule will force coaches to rotate players extensively to provide more playing time for young players, but some abilities can't be developed simply by staying up.
