The first phase of the re-launched Chinese Super League (CSL) will take place in July and August. However, according to the latest news, there will be no Super League matches from September to November, and this three-month-long gap will undoubtedly be a severe test for every Super League team. The Chinese Super League not only brings together a large number of international players, there are a large number of non-international players and foreign aid, how to protect their status, this is undoubtedly a problem that can not be ignored. In fact, from the point of view of time, the Football Association is fully capable of organizing the FA Cup at this time, which can not only increase the team's schedule, but also help players to adjust their status.
The possibility of completing 30 rounds of the Chinese Super League this season is no longer high, and ideally only 22 rounds will be played. the intensive schedule from July to August is almost a foregone conclusion, which will also have a direct impact on the championship pattern of the Chinese Super League this season. Given that the Top 12 will be played from September to November, taking into account a variety of factors, at present, the Football Association does not intend to organize the league in these three months, which means that the Chinese Super League will face a three-month-long break.
Such a long interval, the international players can rest assured to prepare for the 12 strong match, Li Tie also has enough training time. But the Chinese Super League in addition to more than thirty international players, there are hundreds of players, how to protect their status, which is also a key issue. If there is no tournament for a long time, the players only training, undoubtedly too monotonous, which is also unfavorable to the players state adjustment.
Against this background, restarting the AFC Cup tournament seems to be a viable option. Most of last season's AFC Cup matches were not played until after the end of the league season, with several teams adopting all-Chinese lineups, and teams such as Guoan, Guangzhou, and Seaport sending young players to play in the special circumstances of the AFC Cup tournament. Taishan won the AFC Cup with successive victories over Zhejiang, Fuli, Wuhan and Suning, with Fuli playing with foreign players and the Suning final with an all-Chinese lineup. For Taishan, winning the F.A.C.A. Cup is also a way to make up for the regrets of the previous two seasons.
If the FA Cup can be carried out normally this season, the competition organization in September to November is also completely feasible. Taishan, Guoan, Guangzhou and other teams of international players can not participate, this is also a helpless move, but the Association can be completely in the level of foreign aid to be tilted, such as increasing the number of foreign aid players, which is also a program that can be considered. September to November for the AFC Cup, the teams at least have an official tournament to play, the team's preparation will also be more targeted.
Of course, at present, the FA exactly how to organize the next league, September to November how to protect the interests of the teams, but also need to wait for the official answer. According to the plan, July 1 will carry out the draw for the 12 strong match, when the national football opponents and the schedule will have a clear answer, the corresponding organization of the league should also have a clearer answer.
