Shandong Taishan vs Zhejiang team at 20:00 on June 3 (opening match)
Highlights: ★★★★★
The veteran team Zhejiang team returned to the Chinese Super League after a lapse of 6 years, and will face the defending champion Shandong Taishan in the opening game.
In recent years, both teams have contributed a lot of football talents to Chinese football, and the team is also dominated by their own youth training players.
In the 2016 season, both sides won one game each.
Now it is the first time to play against the Chinese Super League after 6 years. Facing Taishan, Shandong, which is at its peak, it is difficult for the Zhejiang team to be "upset", but if they play the characteristics of the team, they can also announce their return very well.

Guangzhou team vs Shanghai Shenhua at 20:00 on June 3 (first round)
Highlights: ★★★
The two Chinese Super League giants that competed for the championship in the past have now encountered problems of varying degrees.
The Guangzhou team has lost a large number of main players. Only a few players such as Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Yan Dinghao and Jiang Guangtai are left in the championship team, who will play in the "All China Class" in the new season.
Affected by factors such as the transfer ban, Shanghai Shenhua is almost an "all-China class" team, and the team is also facing the problem of replacement.
This will also be a contest of "local coaches". After Wu Jingui returned to Shanghai Shenhua, he shouted the season goal of relegation.
What will Liu Zhiyu, who has become the official coach, lead the Guangzhou team to show in the new season?
Who can grab the precious 3 points at the start of the season?
These are all worth seeing.

Shanghai Shenhua vs Shanghai Haigang 19:30 on June 8 (Second round)
Highlights: ★★★★★
"Shanghai Derby" has always been full of highlights, and it is full of "gunpowder flavor".
The two teams started the encounter in the second round, which added a lot to watch.
Affected by the epidemic, both teams are currently in the recovery period.
Since the core midfielder Oscar and foreign aid Mu Yi have not yet returned to the team, Shanghai Haigang's strength in the first stage has been weakened to a certain extent.
In the face of the derby in the same city, the two teams definitely do not want to be the loser, and it is foreseeable that the game will be very fierce.

Beijing Guoan vs Tianjin Jinmen Tigers at 16:30 on June 13 (third round)
Highlights: ★★★★
The "Beijing-Tianjin Derby" is also one of the representative derby battles in the Chinese Super League. The two teams were placed in the Meizhou Division in the first stage of this season.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers strengthened in the winter transfer window, introduced Button from Guoan, and recalled Yang Fan on loan.
After Xie Feng took office as the coach of the Guoan team, this derby became a showdown between "local coaches".
Xie Feng previously said that although there are no top teams like Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang in the Meizhou Division, they are relatively stable and have their own characteristics.
I believe that this "Beijing-Tianjin Derby" will not present a one-sided situation, and the degree of integration of the new foreign players of the Beijing Guoan team may become the "winner" of this game.
After comprehensive reinforcement, the three towns of Wuhan have become a force to be reckoned with in the Chinese Super League in the new season.

Wuhan Yangtze River vs Wuhan Three Towns at 19:30 on June 15 (fourth round)
Highlights: ★★★★
To stage the "Wuhan Derby" in the Chinese Super League will be an unprecedented experience for Wuhan and even Hubei fans.
Historically, the two teams have never met in an official match.
The "upstart" Wuhan three towns with strong troops will challenge the "big brother" Wuhan Yangtze River in the same city, and there will be no shortage of highlights.
But for Wuhan Yangtze River, where the loss of players is relatively serious, it may be very difficult to resist the three towns of Wuhan.

Wuhan Three Towns vs Shanghai Haigang 17:30 on June 19 (fifth round)
Unsurprisingly, this game will become the key battle for the top spot in the Dalian Division.
For the Chinese Super League upstart Wuhan Three Towns, who introduced Liu Dianzuo, Xie Pengfei, Gao Zhunyi, He Chao, Deng Hanwen, Tao Qianglong and other powerful local players in one breath, they have the confidence to attack the top teams in the Chinese Super League.
In today's mid-to-large environment, the three towns of Wuhan are going upstream, as long as there are no major problems in the running-in, it is easy for them to emerge.
It is believed that Shanghai Seaport has gradually recovered its state by then, and the three towns of Wuhan will gradually be in place, and the quality of the game will not be poor.
Which match are you most looking forward to in the first stage of the Chinese Super League?
In the 6th to 10th rounds, the teams will start the second round of competition in the division. The specific schedule of the first stage is as follows:
