On March 20, Beijing time, the Football News wrote an article to reveal the latest developments of the Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation in response to the resumption of home and away games in the new season. The article stated that the Football Association has not given up on resuming home and away games, and has formulated three plans to deal with different condition.
The teams of the Chinese Super League are intensively preparing for the new season. Due to various factors, the Chinese Super League is currently unable to determine the start date. In view of the fact that the national football team has already gone to West Asia to prepare for the last two top 12 games, after the national football players return to China for quarantine, the earliest Chinese Super League will start at the end of April, and the possibility of further postponement is not ruled out.
The Chinese Super League cannot determine the start time, and the competition system is also uncertain. Whether it will continue the competition system or resume the home and away games is still inconclusive. Earlier, the Football Association had issued a discussion letter to each club, asking about their willingness to resume home and away games. All 18 clubs in the Chinese Super League agreed to resume home and away games. This seemed to be a positive signal at the time, and the fans really needed to come. I went to the scene to watch the Chinese Super League after a long absence.
However, after the clubs handed in the letters, there was no further news about the matter, and the Football Association did not disclose the latest progress. Some domestic media have analyzed that it is still very difficult to resume home and away games in the new season. Due to the recent repeated epidemics across the country, Beiqing Daily has written an article saying that whether the home and away games can be resumed on time still has to be linked to the progress of the epidemic. , Due to the epidemic, the work team of the event organizer has suspended the field inspection of the alternative venues for clubs at all levels, and the specific inspection work is temporarily assisted by the relevant local member associations. In addition, the New Express also stated that the restoration of the home and away competition system is becoming more and more slim, and clubs have also begun to prepare to continue participating in the competition system.
However, today, the Football News wrote an article saying that the Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation have not given up on the plan to start the game as scheduled and resume home and away games. They are also waiting for the domestic epidemic to ease, and expect the pressure of local governments to be greatly reduced. Lay the groundwork for the recovery of home and away games.
To this end, the Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation have formulated three sets of plans, which may come in handy if the Chinese Super League cannot resume home and away games on time.
The first set of plans is to start the game as scheduled. Some clubs with conditions will start home and away games, while clubs without conditions will adopt the game system, and conditions allow to resume home and away games. According to the previously prepared league plan, there are basically two possibilities: one, three groups, four stages of “10+8+8+8”; the other, three groups, “5+4+4+4” Double cycle with eight stages.
The second set of plans is to start the game as scheduled. In the first stage, the competition system will be carried out first, and then the home and away games will be resumed in the subsequent stages according to the situation. Taking the “10+8+8+8” plan as an example, if the first 10 rounds of the competition are organized, and it will be around mid-June after completion, then the home and away games will resume in July. According to previous years’ experience, there should be little pressure on prevention and control at that time.
The third set of plans is to postpone the start time. The goal of delaying the start time is also to directly resume home and away games. (DD)Return to Sohu, see more
