The kick-off date for the Chinese Super League was originally envisioned to be April 23, however that plan has fallen through. As for the alternative, the possibility of a May 7 kickoff is also diminishing. Currently, the start date of the Chinese Super League is still pending, the CFA must first clarify which regions have the conditions to host the tournament, in order to finalize the start of the specific time.
Hangzhou and other areas failed to become the first stage of the Chinese Super League host, originally expected to host the Meizhou, Dalian and Kunming may not be able to take on this important task due to the impact of the recent domestic epidemic. Rizhao, Shandong Province has become a new candidate for the tournament, and Zhejiang may play the first phase of the tournament in Rizhao.
Rizhao International Football Center is divided into two areas, east area is located in the south of Peach Blossom Island, is the training base of the soccer center, with four training fields, a training hall and an athlete center. The west area, on the other hand, will build a professional soccer stadium and five training fields. In August this year, Rizhao will host the 25th National Games of Shandong Province, whose field conditions are top-notch.
According to the established grouping, Zhejiang will be in the first stage of a division with Shandong Taishan, Changchun Yatai, Wuhan, Guangzhou City and Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic. Due to the 8 rounds of the first stage, Zhejiang and Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic will not play each other in the first stage. According to the current system and grouping, how many points can Zhejiang get in the first stage? The start of the game is crucial to the Zhejiang team's ability to gain a foothold in this season's Chinese Super League.
Everyone is expecting the new Super League season to be completed before the World Cup, but with the ever-present postponement of the start date, there could be a change in the format and a shorter schedule this year. Once the system and schedule are changed, the grouping rules and opponent lineups will also be changed. The Zhejiang team is actively preparing for the new season at the Zhongtai base, with head coach Jiao Di and newly introduced foreign aid Lucas having arrived, and the team's principle is to "do well for themselves" in order to cope with any changes that may occur.
