China News Service, November 13th. A few days ago, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association Chen Xuyuan accepted an interview with CCTV.
He summarized the Chinese Super League season that just ended, and said that next season, the league may continue the game system.
Looking back on this season, Chen Xuyuan said: “Football needs a more diverse environment. Everyone has the opportunity to form a competition. Participating in the championship competition is of greater significance to the development of Chinese football.”
Looking forward to next season, Chen Xuyuan believes that the continuation of the game system is very likely: "I personally think that the probability of next year's league game system will be very high. If you return to home and away, if there are sporadic rebounds in some areas, it will be very harmful to the league. According to the tournament system, the smooth progress of the league can be guaranteed. Of course, there will be some changes compared to this year."
Throughout the season, the referee's penalties in some games have repeatedly caused controversy.
In this regard, Chen Xuyuan believes: "There is indeed a certain gap in the referee's understanding of the rules and the improvement of the level of professional competence. This is an unavoidable fact. Therefore, we have specifically raised this issue, hoping to improve the level of referee law enforcement; It is the study of the ethical style of law enforcement by referees. If the referees enforce the law fairly, not every law enforcement is correct, but it must be fair and there are laws to follow."
Regarding the areas that need to be improved in the Chinese Super League, Chen Xuyuan said: "Chinese football faces many difficulties and also faces a backward side. The people are dissatisfied with Chinese football, and Chinese football cannot withstand the toss. The Chinese Football Association must do its best to run the league well and let the common people. Seeing the progress and hope of Chinese football. This is a big test for the Chinese Football Association. If the test fails, it proves that the Chinese Football Association is incompetent." (End)
