The East Asian Cup is in full swing, Hangzhou Asian Games men's football tournament after another, at this time, the Chinese Super League can be carried out as scheduled, has become the focus of the topic. Prior to this, a professional league organizers insiders proposed, during the two events, the Chinese Super League and the Chinese A League as usual, and through the deployment of personnel preferential measures, to provide compensation for the U23 international players. However, most of the current U23 international players are already core or key replacements for various clubs, such as Zhu Chenjie of Shenhua and Dai Weijun of Shenzhen Football. What is more noteworthy is that during the Hangzhou Asian Games, the U23 national football team may legally draft some over-age players to join the team. In this way, if the league does not stop swinging during the two tournaments, it may lead to some clubs, especially those with a large delivery of U23 international players like Shenhua, being damaged in terms of strength, which in turn will lead to unfairness in the league competition.
Faced with this dilemma, the tournament organizers had to reweigh the situation by reserving time for the U23 national football team to participate in two international tournaments during the professional league.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese Football League preparatory group had made every effort to fight for the new season of the Chinese Super League on May 7 or so to start. However, affected by the epidemic, Shenhua, seaport and other Shanghai teams about when they can leave Shanghai to go to the league area so far there is still no exact timetable. The selection process for the tournament is still underway. Therefore, if the Super League can start in the middle of May, it is already considered to be a more ideal result.
The postponement of the league's opening day means that the space for scheduling will be further restricted. If the CFA and the CFL preparatory team agree to reserve time for the U23 national soccer team to participate, then the Chinese Super League will likely face a long shutdown from the second half of July to the first half of August and the whole month of September. The scheduling difficulties faced by the Chinese Super League in order for it to complete all 34 rounds of matches can be considered enormous. At present, the first phase of the Super League has been confirmed to use the group tournament system, and if the league can not start in mid-May, due to various factors, the league may face the situation of the whole season using the tournament system.
As of April 19, the new season of the Chinese Super League schedule has not yet been determined, the CFA, the CFL preparatory group needs to make relatively reasonable arrangements as soon as possible within the limited time, "whether the league for the National League to make way for" the issue of careful decision-making.
