The long wait, the season of anticipation
China Super League (soccer league)
The league, exactly when to start, how to start, finally revealed yesterday ...... you do not think the situation is a bit bizarre? Isn't it a miracle in the history of soccer that halfway through the league season, the format of the tournament has made a 180-degree turnaround? Despite all the skepticism, the fairness of the system, the harshness of the schedule, and the contractual issues brought about by the change of year have all been criticized by many. However, for the teams

For the team, no matter how much they complain, they have to face the reality and study how to deal with the brand new system. Especially for the Jinmen Tigers, how to choose the remaining nine rounds of matches, how to deal with the second stage of the "life and death competition", will be a great test of wisdom for the coaching team.
Controversy over new race system continues

The arrangement is that after the first stage, the top four in Group A and the top four in Group B will enter the "Championship Group", while the fifth to eighth in Group A and the fifth to eighth in Group B will enter the "Championship Group".

Group". Unlike last season, firstly, all the points from the first 14 rounds of matches are carried over to the second stage, teams in the same division no longer play each other, and the 8 rounds of matches are double round robin matches between each team and the teams that did not play each other in the first stage of their respective groups; secondly, the lower limit of the ranking of the teams in the Championship Group is the 8th position, and the upper limit of the ranking of the teams in the Relegation Group is the 9th position, and even if there is a team in the Relegation Group that has a higher number of points than the teams in the Championship Group, there is no longer a "Total Points Ranking". In addition, the last two teams in the relegation group will play a play-off with the 3rd and 4th places in the Central League for the 2022 season

The league's nature, but the reinstatement of the "Championship" and "Relegation" divisions and the new format of the second stage of the tournament still leave the remainder of the tournament full of uncertainty.
The first thing is how to deal with the remaining nine games. At first, when one realizes

When the restart was about to enter the "hard way", many people suggested that the Jinmen Tigers could strategically abandon some games against strong teams in order to rationalize the allocation of physical energy. However, now that the points from the first stage will be counted towards the final total, and the teams that have played each other in the first stage will not play again, this makes the first stage of the competition particularly important, and the fight for as many points as possible to form an advantage in the rankings may become the key to relegation in the end. Under these circumstances, it seems inappropriate to choose to "strategically drop" certain matches.
In addition, from the first five rounds of the tournament, the gap between the teams in Suzhou is not obvious, except for Shanghai Harbor. Take the old rival Beijing who will face in the sixth round.

As an example, they are facing a predicament that can be said to come one after another - Kim Min Ja is about to participate in the Olympics, Augusto seems to be about to sign with the Barclays Premier League, Bieira will not be able to come back until August ...... When facing the Jinmen Tigers, Guoan only has Bakambu, a player with unknown health condition, available to them. The player available, coupled with many international players are also tired, Jinmen Tiger if the response is appropriate, is not without the possibility of grabbing points.
What's more, the Tsimshatsui Tigers, currently on four points, are only four points away from the top four of the division, in case they can work their way into the title contenders group like Chongqing did last season. Wouldn't they be guaranteed a top eight ranking? Although from the paper strength analysis, Jinmen Tigers into the possibility of title contention group is not large, but the first five rounds, Jinmen Tigers and Hebei, Yatai and Dalian people's game is a thrilling, and now, after an off-season of hard training, the two sides once again to meet how the result is really difficult to predict. Don't forget, the first five rounds of performance of the Hebei team, this off-season and burst a lot of problems, although there will not be a "withdrawal crisis", but the team's training, the situation of foreign aid will be affected to a certain extent.
Of course, probabilistically speaking, the second phase of the Zim Tigers could still go into "

Group", a double round-robin match with the bottom four teams in Guangzhou. From the current performance of each team in the first five rounds, Qingdao, Chongqing, Henan and Cangzhou are likely to fall into the relegation group. These four teams, in addition to the Cangzhou Lions, the other three are relying on defensive counterattacks to start the team, Qingdao is under the leadership of Wu Jingui will be the "iron bucket formation" played to the extreme. For the Jinmen Tigers, who also rely on defensive counter-attacks, it will not be easy to take points from these opponents. How to further enrich the offense, to create more opportunities to score will be the focus of the second stage of preparation for the Jinmen Tigers. The good thing is that from the recent two warm-up games, Jinmen Tiger's set piece especially the corner kick routine is effective, which may become the second stage, the team's magic weapon to defeat the enemy. In addition, the second phase will not start until December, there is a three-month preparation period in the middle, as well as
