For the last two years, the top tournament in our soccer - the
China Super League (soccer league)
In the league, the situation is quite difficult. Most teams have been fighting on the road all season, and last season, due to an epidemic, fans were unable to watch the games live, which took a big toll on the players' morale, and many teams bowed out early in the long season. However, this year's
The Super League is gradually warming up, with fans allowed to attend yesterday's women's soccer match and more than 20,000 fans set to be welcomed to the opening match on April 20th.
This year's CFL team has a new mission, the
soccer league
Teams have been asked to make sure that they take care of their international players to ensure their smooth participation in the upcoming World Qualifiers. The international players' contracts with their teams, their salaries and their safety on the field of play are beyond the control of the teams, and all the teams can do is to minimize the playing time of the international players in order to avoid their physical exhaustion.
Most of the internationals are from
China Super League (soccer league)
Strong teams, these strong teams such as Guangzhou, also have ambitions in the AFC Champions League, and each team is eager to play in the
China Super League (soccer league)
League to win the championship. However, these teams were already strapped for manpower, and player resources are even more scarce under the multi-front war, coupled with the special mission to maintain the international players, which is undoubtedly a challenge for the team.
Among the many tasks, the importance of the World Qualifying Tournament is at the top of the list, followed by the
China Super League (soccer league)
League and finally the AFC Champions League. As a result, many teams do not put their main focus on the AFC Champions League. The strength of the current Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League is not enough to win the title, even Guangzhou team is difficult to compare with previous years, the AFC Champions League for the top four Chinese Super League, more "heavy participation". Due to the importance of the task and trade-offs, Shandong Taishan team chose to give up the AFC Champions League, but is a wise move.
The Shandong Taishan team was disqualified from the AFC Champions League due to a dispute over the contract of a foreign coach, but the team immediately appealed to the AFC. on April 14th, the official website of the AFC released a news release, rejecting the appeal request of the Shandong Taishan team. This seems to be a regret for Shandong Taishan team, but in fact, it avoids the trouble of multi-front war, and better accomplishes the
soccer league
The difficult task of "defending the national football team" has been organized.
Shandong Taishan has brought in a lot of players this year, which shows that the team is full of confidence. Guangzhou, on the other hand, despite playing at home, has slipped due to the fact that head coach Carlo Cannavaro wants to return to Italy to coach; Beijing Guoan lacks the temperament of a champion; and Jiangsu retired early. Therefore, for Shandong Taishan, this year's
China Super League (soccer league)
The league can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win the title.
