Original title: The start date of the Chinese Super League is still to be determined. The third division has not yet confirmed that Chengdu and Hangzhou will be difficult to host.
According to the plan, the Shanghai Shenhua team and the Shanghai Haigang team will depart from Shanghai on the afternoons of May 7 and 8, respectively, and fly to Dalian. They will then be stationed at the Dalian Football Training Base as required to undergo closed medical isolation and observation. Four international players, Wu Xi, Zhu Chenjie, U23 international players Wen Jiabao and Sun Qinhan, who played for Shenhua, will go to China on their own to join the team on the afternoon of the 7th.
The two Shanghai teams were able to leave Shanghai safely and arrive at the competition area smoothly, marking another solid step in the preparations for the start of the new season of the Chinese Super League. However, as of May 7, the selection of the competition area has not yet ended. At present, the organizers of the competition are still waiting for the opinions of relevant departments of Shandong Province on whether Rizhao City can host the Chinese Super League competition. The organizers of the event have not yet shifted the selection target of the competition area to Hangzhou, where the 19th Asian Games will be held, and Chengdu, where the 31st Universiade will be held.
With the active cooperation of relevant parties, the plan of two Shanghai Chinese Super League teams to leave Shanghai and enter the Chinese Super League Division has been implemented recently. According to the plan, the Shenhua team and the Haigang team will fly from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport by flights at 4:50 pm on May 7 and 8 respectively. The two teams did not go to Lianhe on the same journey, mainly to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and safety. According to the requirements of epidemic prevention, the two teams will be stationed in the Dalian football training base after arriving in Dalian respectively, and then undergo a necessary period of closed medical isolation and observation.
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily learned that the Shenhua team was led by the club’s general manager Zhou Jun and head coach Wu Jingui to enter the Dalian competition area. A total of 53 people (including coaches and staff) entered the competition area. Among them, Wu Xi, Zhu Chenjie, Wen Jiabao and Sun Qinhan, the 4 national team players, will go to Dalian on their own on the afternoon of the 7th, and then join the team. The Haigang national team is expected to join the team in a similar fashion.
The successful arrival of the two Shanghai teams in the Dalian Division means that the start of the new season of the Chinese Super League is one step closer. However, since the third division of the first stage of the competition has not yet been confirmed, the specific start date of the Chinese Super League is still to be determined.
It is understood that after Meizhou City and Dalian City respectively agreed to host the competition, the organizers of the event are still making every effort to strive for Rizhao City to host another group of Chinese Super League competitions. However, at the moment of the epidemic, local governments are sparing no effort to implement the epidemic prevention and control work in their territories. Whether Rizhao City can host the Chinese Super League game still depends on the opinions of the relevant departments of the city and Shandong Province. Strict procedures are required to make relevant decisions, so the organizers of the event are also waiting patiently.
On May 6, after the news of the postponement of the 19th Asian Games and the 31st Universiade was confirmed by official channels, will Hangzhou and Chengdu, which originally hosted the two international sports events respectively, host the Chinese Super League? This also attracted the attention of fans and all walks of life. However, so far, the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Football Federation have still focused on Rizhao City for the selection of the last Chinese Super League division. Regarding whether Hangzhou and Chengdu can host the first stage of the Chinese Super League, the relevant person of the event organizer replied: “difficult!”
