Currently, the league has temporarily entered the offseason after 22 rounds of schedule. The overall match between the next 23 and 25 rounds will be postponed. The league is expected to restart as early as October 24. The 19 rounds of supplementary games that were postponed, Taishan team will play away against Guangzhou team first after the league restarts.
Due to the late start of the league this year, coupled with the club's expansion and the influence of objective factors, the schedule has been continuously adjusted since the start of the second stage. The 16th to 18th rounds have been postponed. The 19th and 20th rounds of the competition, originally planned to be held in mid-to-late September, have not been held yet due to the overall postponement.
. After the league restarts, the overall events will be postponed. The competition is still planned to be completed within this year, which is the end of this year. This means that the remaining 14 rounds of events will be completed within the remaining two months of this year. The remaining supplementary competitions and regular season schedules will be held in a total of 14 rounds within more than 60 days. On average, there is a game of 4 days. The schedule is very intensive compared to the previous normal schedule of Chinese Super League . In addition, it is unclear whether the competitive status of each team will have an impact.
Of course, there are relatively good teams in the remaining schedules. The defending champion Taishan team has only four away games left in the remaining 14 games, which avoids complicated away games. Moreover, under the heavy pressure of the intensive schedule, the team's personnel arrangement will also be a problem. If Taishan's injury problem has been alleviated accordingly in the next schedule, Shandong Taishan, which is only 3 points away from the top, is very likely to return to the top.
Compared with the championship area, the problem of relegation zone seems to be more serious. For the Guangzhou team, after the three games that were originally scheduled to be postponed in the near future, the schedule will be very intensive in the next November and December, and coach Zheng Zhi will be a huge problem in personnel adjustment. In this way, in terms of a close schedule, the goal of training new players will become unrealistic. If you want to relegate, you may have to send the strongest formation in Guangzhou at present, so there will be a glimmer of hope. After all, assistant coach Huang Bowen has already appeared as a substitute in the previous schedule, so it is not ruled out that head coach Zheng Zhi will lead a group of veterans to relegate to the death.
Therefore, whether it is to compete for the championship or strive for relegation, the next preparation work is urgent. According to the schedule, after the league is over at the end of the year, the FA Cup may even end in the New Year, so the new phase of preparations will not be held until the beginning of next year.
