The most critical battle for honor in two growth cycles.
Influenced by FIFA's policy (all continental World Cup qualifiers use the home-and-away system, with the exception of Asia), the AFC hopes to use the home-and-away system for the 12-team tournament. Although in the consultation stage, there have been many

The Association indicates that there are many constraints in the home-and-away system (especially for teams from the East Asian region, where immigration and epidemic prevention measures vary greatly), and prefers the tournament system to complete the 12-team tournament in phases, but at the present stage, preparations for the 12-team tournament still need to be centered on the "home-and-away system".
Such an outcome would result in this year's

The attention of the league has been further reduced. According to reporters, several

However, on May 21st, there was a new confirmed case in Guangzhou, and the professional league preparatory team needed to decide whether the Guangzhou tournament would be affected according to the development of the situation. Fortunately, this morning, the Guangzhou Municipal Government press conference gave the information that this round of epidemic has been "zero", the city is "low risk areas", so Guangzhou will still be the next time to undertake the task of the Chinese Super League.
A meeting of professional league general managers expected to take place on July 5 will discuss and confirm the new phase of the league's schedule - the

The coaching staff asked the international players to assemble on August 17 to allow two weeks of preparation time for the first match of the 12-team tournament on September 2, so the restart of the Chinese Super League will be suspended again in a month. In this month, the Premier League is expected to complete nine rounds of matches (one round every three days), the time constraints can be seen.
In the new schedule proposal, the Premier League from the beginning of the season plans to play 30 rounds to play 22 rounds of the end of the league in August after playing the first 14 rounds of the league, the last 8 rounds of the league will be held across the year, the game time for the first half of December to the first half of January the following year - if not unexpected, this is the Premier League history for the first time across the year to the end of the year. The end of the Premier League, the seventh round of the 12 round of the tournament (January 27) will also be seamless with the league, the physical condition of the international players and psychological condition will face an unprecedented severe test.
The prioritization of national team events versus league events has already been decided, with the Central

The Association only needs to consider how to minimize the loss of league matches within a limited scope: the league matches in July and August involve the availability of sufficient pitches in the region, the ability of the turf of the pitches to withstand the pressure of playing one match in three days, as well as the ever-changing weather conditions. In Guangzhou, for example, the average temperature in July and August is over 30 degrees Celsius and the humidity is high, so all the matches have to be scheduled in the evening. If the team does not have enough rotating manpower, the problem of player injuries cannot be ignored. In the 8 rounds of league matches from December to January, teams also need to consider the issue of players' contracts: many players' contracts are limited to a natural year, so clubs can only lay out for the next year's season in advance. The good thing is that the 12-round tournament will end in March 2022, so the next year's Chinese Super League can finally avoid the biggest disruption.
The preparation for the Top 12 moves the whole body, whether it's a league or a cup, a tournament system or a home-and-away system.
