The Chinese Super League preparatory team works from home to promote the start of the game
The principle of playing 34 rounds throughout the season remains unchanged
As of noon on May 5, the selection work for the new season of the Chinese Super League has not yet been completed, and the event organizer and relevant parties are still actively seeking the approval of Rizhao City to host the competition in the near future.
Due to the limited speed of the preparations for the start of the game due to factors such as the epidemic, the new season of the Chinese Super League will not start until the end of May at the earliest.
However, even if the schedule is tight, the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation preparatory team will make every effort to ensure that the Chinese Super League will play 34 rounds in the new season.
May 5 is the first working day after the International Labour Day holiday.
Although affected by the epidemic, some employees of the Chinese Football Association and the preparation team of the Chinese Football Federation who participated in the preparations for competitions and professional leagues had to work from home, but they still insisted on actively promoting the preparations for the start of the league through online methods.
It is understood that as of the beginning of May, Meizhou City and Dalian City have agreed to host the first stage of the new season of the Chinese Super League. The organizers of the selection of the competition area are also actively seeking.
At present, the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese Football Federation and relevant parties are still working hard to obtain the consent of Rizhao City to host the competition.
The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation preparatory team must finalize all the competition areas before submitting the final draft of the kick-off plan to the higher management department.
In the report plan, in addition to the start time, competition system, and schedule arrangement, the two most important contents are the details of the event epidemic prevention plan and the official approval of the relevant departments in various places to host the competition.
Due to the strict procedures required for the implementation of relevant decisions by candidate competition cities, the final competition city has not yet been finalized, the start plan cannot be submitted for the time being, and the start time is still in the "pending" state.
Judging from the current progress of preparations for the start of the competition, it is impossible for the Chinese Super League to start in early May, and it is almost impossible to start the competition in mid-May.
According to the analysis of relevant people involved in the preparations for the event, the new season of the Chinese Super League will not start until the end of May at the earliest.
In addition to the event organizers, the participating Chinese Super League clubs are also consciously making various preparations for the competition.
For example, the two teams, Shenhua and Haigang, are expected to go to the Dalian Division on May 7 and 8, respectively, and will then be subject to necessary periods of medical isolation and observation in Dalian as required.
From this, it can also be seen that each group and each team will start the competition at the same time, and the earliest time will be the end of this month.
The information from the event organizer shows that the two Shanghai teams in the first stage of the new season of the Chinese Super League are almost in the same group.
As for the grouping of other teams, it is implemented according to the principle of "serpentine arrangement".
If the Chinese Super League will not start until the end of May or even June, will the league schedule be further compressed and the number of rounds reduced?
In this regard, the response of the relevant person of the event organizer is to "ensure that 34 rounds are filled."
Since there is a high probability that the Chinese team will not arrange training camps or games during the international competition period from May 30 to June 14, if the Chinese Super League can start in late May, it will make full use of this time to run the first stage of the competition. .
According to the principle of schedule arrangement with an average interval of no less than 72 hours between every two rounds of each team, the Chinese Super League can still play 34 rounds this year, even before the opening of the Qatar World Cup.
