When the night curtains of Beijing City lowered to nine o'clock, an official statement on the Chinese Super League as a meteor cutting through the night sky, quickly spread throughout the major media. This statement revealed that, in view of the urgent needs of China's national men's soccer team to prepare for the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian qualifiers (Forty), by the CFA, the work of the league preparatory group of deep thought, and in the salon within the full discussion and vote, decided to the 2021 Ping An China Premier League, the fifth round of the two matches of the time to be altered, the specific time will be announced separately.
Originally, the new training program for the national football team was scheduled to start on May 20, but last week the Football Association suddenly put forward a proposal to advance the training. Late this afternoon, the preparatory group of the working alliance urgently summoned 16 Chinese Super League clubs and held a meeting of online general managers. Two postponement proposals were discussed in the meeting, one is to postpone the fifth round of the tournament as a whole, and the other is to postpone the two matches scheduled for May 15 between Henan Songshan Longmen and Guangzhou, and May 16 between Beijing Guoan and Hebei Huaxia. As Guangzhou team and Beijing Guoan are the concentration of international players, Guangzhou team contributed six players and Beijing Guoan contributed seven players in the last national football training. In the second scenario, the initial decision to postpone the match between Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan to August 8 or 9 was made, taking into account multiple factors such as accommodation and venues, as well as variables such as unpredictable weather, the final decision was made to postpone only two matches.
In fact, the national football team early training not only affects the Guangzhou team and Beijing Guoan, Shandong Taishan, Shanghai seaport and Shenzhen and other clubs with many international players also suffered a considerable impact. Shandong Taishan contributed as many as five players to the last training session. In this regard, Shandong Taishan club expressed understanding. It is reported that the monitoring team of the national football team in Guangzhou has withdrawn from the Oriental Hotel today.
Guangzhou defeated Cangzhou Lions with a score of 2-0 in the fourth round of the Chinese Super League which just ended. The goals scored by Gao Junyi and Yang Liyu helped Guangzhou to win two consecutive matches. However, due to the national team's "early preparation", Guangzhou postponed the fifth round match to the second stage, which undoubtedly brought more troubles to Guangzhou's head coach Carnavaro. After all the complaints about "preparing for the national team", there is still more frustration in his heart, so let's wait and see what he will do next!
