Fat Driver releases its 88th heavyweight tweet in 2021.
Once again, our league has put the national team at its center.
In order to prepare for the 40-team tournament at the end of the month, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the national team's coaching team have decided to advance the scheduled national team training from May 20 to May 14, to buy more time for the national team to prepare for the tournament and bonding, according to a report by Xiao Blush of the Beijing Youth Daily.
Interestingly, the fifth round of this season's Super League happens to kick off on May 14th.
If the early training program is implemented, many big international players, including Shanghai Seaport, Shanghai Shenhua, Shandong Taishan, Beijing Guoan, Guangzhou team, etc., may have to play in the fifth round of the Chinese Super League with a stumped team.
Because all of these clubs with highly paid internationals will be called up to train with the national team ......
This is the real "raising soldiers for the country".
In the eyes of the FA hierarchy, it is worth sacrificing a round of league matches for the sake of advancing to the 40-team tournament, even if they are scolded.
After all, getting yelled at is a small matter, but losing the Top 40 would really doom everyone.
This situation, unimaginable in European and American leagues, has become the norm in our Chinese Super League.
You have to endure even if you are not convinced, and you have to swallow even if you are aggrieved.
Even if your club performance is good, but the national team's performance is not, the chairman of the Football Association will have to criticize you at the meeting and ask you where your conscience is.
Some might ask, does an early training session for the national soccer team guarantee a good result?
We have to look at this matter dialectically.
Sacrificing a league round to allow national team players to start training a week earlier could have a negative impact on the athleticism of international players in the league cycle.
After all, the next game of the 40 is from May 30, you let the international players report on May 14, meaning that half a month, these international players are not sick, suddenly less than a round of official games.
This sudden change in the frequency of games is likely to disrupt the players' preparations.
But it must be admitted that the malicious flying and holding techniques that were seen in the last round of the league were also really frightening.
Guoan front-court core Bieira in the game against Dalian, just because Wu Wei a reckless back infringement action directly injured meniscus and ligaments, had to temporarily leave the Suzhou tournament back to Beijing to receive further examination and treatment.
This is an injury to the foreign aid, in case of really injured which international players, affecting the preparation and results of the 40-team tournament, President Chen shall not explode mentally?
Essentially, early training is a conservative strategy to choose the lesser of two evils, maximize the health of the international players to ensure that before the start of the 40 strong match, the international players can be alive and well waiting for Li Tie to pick, which is the intention of the Football Association.
At the end of the day, the level of the league is already at this level this year, and sacrificing one round of the league for a few less internationals won't add to the FA's sense of guilt.
Even if such a strategy will really make the guys in the FA feel so guilty when facing all parties in the league, they will definitely put the national soccer team's performance first.
After all, the league is already in this shape, so suck it up, and this year's Top 40 is what will really determine if their asses are still sitting on the ground.
Nothing is as important to bureaucrats as hats and performance.
At heart, they don't care about the league or the so-called "laws of soccer". Otherwise, why do you think that the operational league, which was said to be established at the end of the year in 2019, has been delayed to this day and is still only in the status of a "preparatory group"?
At the end of the day, the slow advancement of work related to the league is only because the CFA's real focus of operations until the 2023 Asian Cup comes to an end has only been on the national team's performance.
