At present, the 2 major competitions in domestic football are to be held on New Year's Eve, first the Chinese Super League, 8 rounds of matches will continue until January next year, Guangzhou and Suzhou continue to host; although there is only one FA Cup, but it is the most critical, the ultimate showdown between Harbor and Taishan is worth looking forward to, and even expected to determine the ownership of the double champion. Despite the importance, until now, the venue has been a problem, and the date is initially on January 9.
After the completion of the league on January 4, it is impossible to wait too long, on the one hand, the club must also maintain the state, need to hit the iron while it is hot, if the rest time is too long, it will also affect the play, and the players who have just returned from the intensive schedule have been in preparation, for the physical consumption is large, the duration is too long Emotionally, it is also easy to affect; on the other hand, the national football team at the end of January to participate in the round of 12, it takes about 2 weeks to assemble, and Taishan is a big player, and there are many international players in the harbor, obviously it is impossible to wait for the FA Cup final, Delay the preparation of the national football team.
Previously, it was reported that the Football Association considered arranging the final in Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Stadium, and the outside world is also looking forward to it, because the Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium is a professional stadium, which is not long after it was built, the facilities and equipment are the latest, ready to host the Asian Cup event, players can use high-level venues in advance, and fans can also see the top professional stadium, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. However, just when the outside world was expecting it, there was a sudden accident. According to informed media sources, in order to prepare for the final of the FA Cup, the FA also went to Chengdu to investigate, and was not satisfied with the current situation of the Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium.
Because the Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium has not yet hosted football matches, the basic conditions are general, and the quality of the lawn is not ideal, the Phoenix Mountain Football Stadium is still improving, but considering the time is relatively tight, the Football Association may adjust the location. There are 2 options, whether to continue to hold in Chengdu, if yes, it may be replaced by other venues, such as the Shuangliu Sports Center.
If you change to another city, then the uncertainty will be greater, and it has been suggested to continue to complete the FA Cup final in Guangzhou, after all, the two teams can complete the game without changing locations, which is more convenient. In any case, the FA needs to make up its mind as soon as possible and complete the relevant preparations.
