Reporter Chen Yong reported that the Chinese Super League may meet two major shock waves: First, the national football team's home failure in the round of 12 in November, continuing to conquer West Asia is already a high probability event, followed by the Chinese Super League will continue to be postponed or compressed; second, with the Guangzhou team has not "resumed work", and Hebei team on October 26 "suspension of work and holiday", public opinion and the media generally look down on the prospects of the league, believing that there is an extreme possibility in the second phase of the Chinese Super League: 16 teams are not together. So, whether these two major shocks can happen, and what impact will it have on the league? Let's take a closer look.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > [The Chinese Super League may be postponed for half a month].</h1>
Through a variety of information, the national football home team in November of the round of 12 finally can not be approved, the national team may soon officially announce this news and announce the position of the Chinese, the international football players will be forced to go west again, so that the Chinese Super League will be postponed.
The original plan of the Chinese Super League was to start on December 1, and this time point was calculated according to the two home games played by the national football team in November: if the national football team played at home, the quarantine time would be calculated from the last person entering the opponent, and the centralized isolation would be calculated around November 13, so that the international footballers would complete the centralized isolation on November 27. However, after the national football team's western expedition, the quarantine time of the national football team should be counted from the return to China, the game is played on November 16, and the normal return to China on November 18 means that the league will be postponed for at least 5 to 6 days. But another key is that even if the national football team does not march west, the Chinese Super League may have to postpone, because the current entry policy is also tightening, from the previous "14 + 7" gradually changed to "14 + 7 + 7", that is, 14 days of centralized isolation, 7 days of home isolation, 7 days of community testing. In fact, in the current FA Cup matches, inbound personnel (mainly foreign aid) are implemented 14 + 14 to enter the division, so if the Chinese Super League wants to start normally, it needs to add 28 days after November 18, that is, December 16.
After half a month of postponement, the end of the Chinese Super League may also be postponed, and the normal postponement will be until January 18, 2022. Of course, another way for the FA is to tighten the league interval, the current plan of the last 8 rounds of intervals is 4 4 days interval, 3 3 days interval, if fully compressed to 3 days interval can save 4 days; compression to 4 2 days interval, 3 3 day interval can save 8 days; all 2 days interval (like the first stage of 9 to 14 rounds) can save 11 days.
In fact, after the end of the second stage of the league, there are also the FA Cup final and the Chinese Super League China League A play-off, the latter is a two-legged match, after the end of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, I am afraid it will take about 10 days to end all the matches of the 2021 Chinese Professional League.

At present, in the Chinese Super League club, guangzhou team still has not "resumed work", just when fans are worried about the fate of Guangzhou team, Hebei team has announced "suspension of work and holiday". At present, the extreme situation cannot be completely ruled out, that is, the team withdrew from the competition in December. If there is a team withdrawal in the second stage, Chinese football will undoubtedly suffer another wave of shock. Fans may already have psychological expectations for the exit, but the crux of the matter is that the withdrawal not only impacts Chinese football at the strategic level, but also the league at the tactical level: as far as the current format is concerned, it is easy for the championship group to cause unfairness in case of a team that withdraws. Taking Hebei as an example, if they withdraw, then in the championship group, the team from the Guangzhou Division has only 6 rounds of matches left in the second stage, while the team from the Suzhou Division has 8 rounds of the second stage of the game; if the team from the Guangzhou Division counts 3 points against the Hebei team, then it is unfair to the team from the Suzhou Division; if the team from the Suzhou Division changes the previous record against hebei in the first stage to 3 points. Then there will be unfairness between the teams in the first stage of the Suzhou Division. Of course, it is possible to make up a team from the relegation group to the championship group, which can ensure the fairness of the championship group, but the relegation group will be unfair. More extremely, if Hebei and Guangzhou withdraw at the same time, the teams on both sides of the championship group have 6 rounds left, which is relatively fair, but the problem is that if the two clubs withdraw from the professional league, the Chinese Super League may collapse even more.
So, will these clubs actually quit? The bad news of the clubs invested by real estate companies continues, and the league management department is also paying close attention to the changes in the situation of the teams, at present, it seems that the possibility of the teams withdrawing from the competition is unlikely, after all, they participate in the December competition, the club only needs to bear the round-trip air ticket money, and the rest of the costs are all responsible for the Chinese Super League company. In this case, if you withdraw from the game and disband, it is not worth the loss for the club and the players, the club, insisting until the end of the league, may usher in a turnaround in the stock reform, you can also consider transfer, and the middle of the withdrawal and dissolution, can only bear a huge loss; at the player level, the salary arrears are difficult, but once the club is dissolved, then their salary arrears are not under the jurisdiction of the Football Association, and it is also a problem to ask for salaries at this stage, and at this stage of the professional league, it is not easy for players to find jobs.
At present, it seems that the impact on the league brought about by the national team's second westward expedition in November is inevitable, and the possibility of the club's withdrawal is relatively small.
