With China's men's soccer team battling at the final hurdle of the World Cup Qualifying Round of 40, a fateful match is about to ignite at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on the 16th at the Sharjah Stadium against the Syrian national team. If our team can triumph in this duel, they will be expected to advance to the Round of 12 as the second in the group, where they will have a chance to compete for a spot in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
It was planned that the draw for the twelve-team tournament would be held in August and the final matches would be played in a conference format from September to November, during which time all teams would not be allowed to leave the playing area. This arrangement also means that the second phase of the Super League will not be able to be completed within 2021, with the first phase having come to a successful conclusion on August 5, followed by the second phase of the tournament, which will be contested for the final title.
The 12th round of the tournament, which starts in September, has undoubtedly become the primary goal of the national team, when the Chinese Super League players will be called up to participate in the tournament. However, this will undoubtedly be a major challenge for teams with many international players such as Guangzhou, Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Harbor and Shandong Taishan. This could lead to the overall strength of the team being damaged, the winning and losing of the Super League matches becoming more unpredictable, and could even lead to the teams with large numbers of international players falling behind in the rankings and failing to qualify for the AFC Champions League.
Although the Chinese Super League will restart on June 21st, the return of international players can help the team to win. For the smooth running of the Super League, the only way is to shorten the schedule or reduce the number of matches. After all, this time the impact of force majeure factors, the overall organization of the schedule is not a problem.
If the Chinese Super League is not adjusted accordingly, the only solution may be for the national soccer team to lose by a large margin in the tournament and thus not qualify for the top twelve, so that the Chinese Super League can proceed according to the original plan.
