It can be seen that after a recent period of training, the Jinmen Tigers have improved greatly in the degree of cooperation, and to be able to beat the stronger Shenzhen team, which also proves the results of the team's recent period of hard training, but also adds more confidence to the players. As the schedule of the Chinese Super League has been clarified in the preparatory meeting of the Chinese Football Association, the next focus of the Jinmen Tigers is to study how to cope with the new challenges brought about by the change in the schedule. ! [Chinese Super League Fixture Schedule](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371489512501668.jpg) The Chinese Super League will undergo a major restructuring: this season's Chinese Super League will be changed from 30 rounds to 22 rounds, with the league restarting on July 15 and the first phase of the tournament being played on August 12, completing nine rounds of matches in a total of 28 days, with the Chinese Super League teams maintaining a rhythm of one match every three days; the second phase of the second round of eight rounds of matches will take place starting on December 1, with the entire season concluding on January 3, 2022. Such a schedule for the Super League teams, are never experienced the challenge, especially in the off-season, the international players are also facing the mission of the preparation for the 12th round of the tournament and the game, in the next half a year, the international players will be destined to be very busy and exhausting. ! [Super League match system adjustment](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371514512501668.jpg) It is worth noting that this season's Chinese Super League has also made corresponding adjustments in the system: after the first stage, the second stage of the Chinese Super League will be divided into the championship group and relegation group, different from last season's knockout round, this time it is based on the total number of points for the final ranking. Specifically, the championship group consists of the top 4 of the two groups, the relegation group consists of the bottom 4 of the two groups, the two groups respectively for the group double round-robin tournament (the first phase of the teams that have already played each other will no longer play); the points of the first phase will be carried over to the second phase, and ultimately to the total number of points in the two phases to determine the final ranking of the league. The 1-8th place in the Championship Group will be the 1-8th place in the league, and the 1-8th place in the Relegation Group will be the 9-16th place in the league. The last two places in the relegation group will have to play a play-off with the 3rd and 4th places in the Central League to compete for a place in the Chinese Super League for the 2022 season. ! [Relegation playoffs in the Chinese Super League](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371516075001668.jpg) It is worth mentioning that, after the World Preliminary 40, CFA Chairman Chen Xuyuan, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency, talked about the league program and mentioned that two principles should be followed, "The first is that the league is a very important cornerstone of Chinese soccer, and the league cannot be sacrificed because of the national team; the second is that the Chinese Super League has to be stopped during the national team's preparations and matches, and there is no The league with the participation of national team players will also lose a lot of significance." At the same time, Chen Xuyuan also pointed out in particular, in order to carry out the Chinese Super League in a special situation, the Football Association studied and drew up three specific programs, will also seek the views of the Chinese Super League salon, and ultimately form a generally accepted plan. But it is clear that in the basic non-existence of the national team and the Chinese Super League can be fully protected by the perfect plan, now this league plan has been as far as possible to take care of the interests of all parties, but also to protect the league's framework and fairness, basically can be accepted by the participants. ! [Chinese Super League Match System Adjustment](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371631700001668.jpg) From the point of view of the new schedule of the Chinese Super League, compared with the extreme practice of reducing the league to 15 rounds, reducing the league to 22 rounds in meeting the needs of the national team at the same time, but also has been as far as possible to ensure that the interests of the sponsors; from the point of view of the game system, the title contending group and the relegation group to carry out a double round-robin competition within the group, but also than the elimination of the previous year's game system is more reasonable and fair; and from the planning of the two groups of the title contenders and the relegation group, as well as based on the total number of points of the 22 rounds From the perspective of the two groups planning for the championship and relegation, as well as based on the total points of 22 rounds of ranking within the group, also strive to be fair and impartial, as far as possible not to leave loopholes. After all, if you only calculate the group points of the championship group and relegation group, although the group ranking is more reasonable, but it is easy to appear in the first stage to determine the top four teams will let go of the possibility; and, the relegation group points and then high, the final league rankings up to the 9th, which can also prevent the team for the reversal of overtaking the car, intentionally into the relegation of the weak teams piled up to grab points. ! [Chinese Super League match system adjustment](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371633262501668.jpg) Of course, the challenges brought by this harsh schedule and system of the Chinese Super League are also unprecedented. First of all, 3 days a match schedule is the Chinese Super League teams have never experienced, the team's bench depth, physical consumption of players and injury rehabilitation has put forward a huge test; in addition, such an intensive schedule for the referee's law enforcement as well as tournament broadcasters of the allocation of personnel, but also put forward a higher demand; more importantly, such a schedule also makes the first stage of the league game has become even more brutal, but instead highlight the The importance of the first stage of the grouping, after all, more powerful teams piled up in the Guangzhou region (Guangzhou, Shandong Taishan, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, Henan Songshan Longmen, Guangzhou City, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Cangzhou Lions), Suzhou region (Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Harbour, Shanghai Shenhua, Hebei, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Dalian, Wuhan, Changchun Yatai) team polarization is more obvious. ! [Chinese Super League match system adjustment](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371659825001668.jpg) For Tianjin Jinmen Tigers alone, they still have to strategize to cope with the 3-day schedule and the huge pressure to grab points. For the Jinmen Tigers slightly favorable is that the first stage of the first 5 rounds, the team has grabbed 4 points, this score is even more than the strong lineup of the Cangzhou Lions, Wuhan; and, the first stage of the Jinmen Tigers in the group to grab points is also relatively easy to grab, if you can bring enough points to enter the second stage, and then in the second stage of the efforts to suppress the same group of rivals, the Jinmen Tigers relegation initiative can still be grasped in their hands The initiative can still be grasped in their own hands. The Tigers are still in control of their own relegation initiative.

The Chinese Super League does not need to make such a big adjustment. However, the epidemic at that time, the national epidemic prevention policy can not be discounted, and also to ensure that the interests of the international players, to protect and ensure that the league's high quality and fairness, under all kinds of considerations, the Chinese Super League for the national team to make way for the inevitable result. ! [The Chinese Super League tournament system adjustment](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371633262501668.jpg) The AFC Cup is a great time to practice! In addition to the league, the 2021 F.A.C. Cup system was also finalized at the meeting.The 2021 F.A.C. Cup will consist of 64 matches, divided into preliminaries and the main round.

Cup Match System Arrangement](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371761387501668.jpg) From the schedule of the FA Cup, the debut battle of the Jinmen Tigers on October 16, that is to say, from the end of the first phase of the Super League to the debut of the FA Cup, the Jinmen Tigers have more than 2 months of the off-season, in this window, the team is able to continue to sharpen the lineup, improve the technical and tactical capabilities, but how to ensure that the players do not decline in physical and mental state, is a relatively big challenge. From October 16th, Jinmen Tigers will be level by level for the knockout rounds, due to the international players due to the World Cup task can not participate in the AFC Cup, which also gives the "civilian team" the opportunity to blow the cold. Of course, compared to creating a dark horse miracle, for the Jinmen Tigers, the AFC Cup is also the opening of the second phase of the league, a very valuable time to test and exercise the team, and every promotion, but also allows the team to physically and psychologically undergo a metamorphosis. The AFC Cup is a valuable opportunity to test and train the team before the second stage of the league begins.
