On March 3, under the night curtain, media giant Bai Guohua unveiled a piece of heavy news on the social platform: if the Chinese Super League can resume the home and away match system, Zhejiang Greentown has locked Huzhou Olympic Sports Center as the home of the 2022 season, and Shaoxing Textile City Sports Center will serve as an alternative battlefield.
In the dynamic, Bai revealed, "Last week, the FA held an emergency meeting on the line to discuss the possibility of resuming the home-and-away system and to seek the opinions of the clubs. At the same time, clubs and member associations need to report to the local government for policy support."
Today is the deadline for clubs to submit their venue confirmations. The biggest challenge of this link is the attitude of local governments, which is also closely related to the coordination ability of the clubs and the efficiency of the local football associations. Currently, many clubs are suffering from unpaid wages.
However, Zhejiang Greentown showed amazing efficiency.
If the home and away system can be restored, Zhejiang Greentown plans to have its home stadium at Huzhou Olympic Sports Center, with Shaoxing Textile City Sports Center as a backup plan. Zhejiang Provincial Football Association and the club has quickly reported to the two governments, and received a positive response. Huzhou and Shaoxing governments and sports bureaus have said that they will fully support the only Chinese Super League club in the province to show their style in this season's Chinese Super League, and provide all-round support in terms of venue security, epidemic prevention and competition.
Confirmation letters have been formally issued by both governments.
Zhejiang Greentown, known for its robustness, in the journey back to the Chinese Super League, the choice of home field showed the "Zhejiang speed".
Despite the worrying state of the national soccer team, there are still a number of clubs showing strong faith. Zhejiang Greentown is expected to create new glory in the two historic cities of Huzhou and Shaoxing.
