In the Shandong TV Kan ball time program on August 4, senior reporter Chen Yong disclosed a heavy news: Jinan Olympic Sports Center will soon carry out the turf replacement project, so Taishan Football Club has applied to the relevant parties to try to increase the number of away matches in the first few rounds of matches.
According to the established schedule, Taishan will have three consecutive away challenges after the resumption of the tournament. First up, they will travel to Haikou to face Tianjin Jinmen Tigers at Mission Hills Football Base on August 6 at 8pm. Immediately after that, on August 13 at 7:30 p.m., Taishan will move to the Jinzhou Stadium in Dalian for an exciting battle with Shanghai Shenhua.
After the match, Taishan will return to Haikou again to face Hebei on August 17th at 8pm. Chen Yong analyzed in the program: "In view of the turf renewal project of the Olympic Sports Center, Taishan's home matches will be relatively fewer, and the club therefore proposes to increase the number of away matches. For example, Taishan will play Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Shanghai Shenhua and Hebei consecutively in Haikou before returning home. However, who would have expected Shenhua to travel to Dalian, which made the schedule seem a bit confusing and exhausting. We do want to adjust the schedule, but then we would have to move other teams' schedules, which may cause objections from other teams. I think it's a really unexpected and complicated issue."
