With the delayed conclusion of the seventh round of the Central League matches on April 22, the Guangzhou soccer team reacted quickly by pleading for the postponement of this week's eighth round away match against Suzhou Dongwu to the following day.
After the just-concluded home showdown, in which Guangzhou turned back Wuxi Wuhu 2-1, head coach Salvador revealed the reason behind the postponement in a press conference, "We have submitted a postponement request to the Football Association with the expectation that the away game in the eighth round will be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. In this way, we have more time to look forward to the return of Alegria and hopefully he will be able to suit up for that crucial match."
