On February 19, the new season of the Japan and South Korea leagues began, with Taishan's AFC Champions League rival Urawa Red Diamonds losing 1-0 and potential opponent Daegu FC also losing 0-2. Nowadays, the Chinese Super League has no clear start plan, although the outside world is rumored to start on April 23, but the specific schedule and participating teams still need to be confirmed by the Football Association, which involves the access and survival of many teams.
The Taishan team is divided into Group F in the AFC Champions League, with the same group facing urawa Red Diamonds, Lion City Mariners and the winners of Daegu FC and Buriram United. Judging from the existing news, the schedules of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League are likely to conflict, and the Football Association lets the clubs choose for themselves. Considering various factors, the possibility of the Chinese Super League team arranging the main force to play in the AFC Champions League is very small, while the Japanese and South Korean teams, their league has begun, in April, they can send the main force to participate, and the state adjustment will be better.
On the 19th, the Japanese and South Korean leagues have begun the new season, Urawa Red Diamonds lost 0-1 to Kyoto Undead Bird in the first round, and it was Uttaka who played for Kyoto Undead Bird, who played in the Chinese Super League and is 38 years old in 2022, still in good shape. Daegu FC lost 0-2 to Seoul in the first round, and this match was also the debut of The new coach of Daegu, the whole game was passive, and 3 foreign aides started.
For the Taishan team, the lineup to participate in the AFC Champions League is basically finalized, and it will be dominated by young players, which is also a helpless choice for the status quo, after all, the schedule conflict between the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, once the main player is arranged to play in the AFC Champions League, it will have a great impact on the league. As for other Chinese Super League teams, the Harbor and Guangzhou teams are also most likely to arrange young players to play, and whether Yatai can pass the qualification round is still unknown.
In the case of the start of the Japanese and South Korean leagues, the answer to when the Chinese Super League will start is still unclear. Today, the problem of the Chinese Super League is survival. The latest news on the 19th shows that the Guangzhou team has clarified its future way out, Xu Jiayin confirmed that it will continue to invest in football and build a club based on the football school, which means that their lineup will be dominated by football school players, and the overall lineup framework will have very big changes, which is also the idea of the Guangzhou team.
Guangzhou team initially solved the problem of survival, but the entry of the league is still a point of view. After all, according to the rules of the Football Association, the team that owes wages will not be injected, this problem exists in Guangzhou, Wuhan exists, Hebei, Chongqing and other teams exist, how the Football Association responds, this is also a point of view. At least for now, the first thing that the Chinese Super League needs to solve in the short term is unpaid wages.
