Because of the tournament system, the attention of the Chinese Super League has dropped to the freezing point, and when this season will be played is now unknown. It is no exaggeration to say that this season's Chinese Super League has been postponed indefinitely, and it is not known when it will open. Originally, the Chinese Super League was scheduled to open in May, but now it is difficult. In addition, Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Haigang have both withdrawn from the AFC Champions League, and Shandong Taishan and Guangzhou teams have also sent youth teams to compete.
Originally, the Chinese Super League was scheduled to start at the end of April and the beginning of May, but in the plan, the 18 teams of the Chinese Super League were divided into 3 groups and competed in 3 divisions. Even, the Chinese Super League wants to resume fan entry in the middle and late stages of the season.
But now, the objective situation is not optimistic. Last season, Suzhou and Guangzhou hosted the Chinese Super League, and now, the two cities are clearly unable to meet the requirements. Dalian will not host the Chinese Super League again because of the relegation of Dalian people.
The Football Association later visited Hangzhou and Meizhou, but the situation was still not ideal.
At present, only Wuhan is left in the division that can host the Chinese Super League, but one Wuhan division cannot accommodate 18 teams. Moreover, the situation in Wuhan is not so optimistic.
Therefore, the Chinese Super League is now postponed indefinitely.
In the AFC Champions League, Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Haigang have withdrawn, so that the only teams that represent the Chinese Super League in the AFC Champions League in the 2022 season are Shandong Taishan and Guangzhou. Moreover, Shandong Taishan and Guangzhou teams are also young troops, and it is impossible to get good results.
From the national football team did not qualify for the Qatar World Cup, to the current Chinese Super League to the start of the hopeless, 2 teams withdrew from the AFC Champions League, Chinese football experienced the most difficult period.
No one wants to see such a situation, but this is the objective reality. Harbor Club issued an official announcement confirming its withdrawal from this season's AFC Champions League, apologizing to fans and the AFC. But in fact, the harbor does not have to apologize, do they not want to participate in the AFC Champions League? There really is no way out. It is reported that the AFC is very dissatisfied with this, accusing the Chinese Super League team of disrespecting the opponent. But from the perspective of the Chinese Super League team, they don't want to respect their opponents, but the price is too high.
