After completing the task of the Round of 12 and the Dubai Cup, the Chinese men's football team and the U23 national football team chartered a flight back to China at noon local time in the United Arab Emirates today, and are expected to land in Haikou tonight. According to a number of media reports, the Chinese Football Association will strive to start the new season of the Chinese Super League on April 29, but the access to leagues at all levels will become a key issue in the near future, so the Chinese Football Association will organize a meeting this afternoon to discuss access.
In the last round of the Round of 12, the national football team defeated Oman 0-2 away, with 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses accumulating 6 points, ending the journey of the round of 12 and missing the Qatar World Cup. According to the arrangement, the national football team will carry out a "14+7" quarantine in Haikou after returning to China, and it is expected to end the quarantine on April 24. During this period, the national football team will continue to maintain the training state and help the international football players prepare for the new season of the Chinese Super League.
With the end of the national team competition, when the new season of the Chinese Super League will be held has become the focus of attention. It is reported that the Chinese Football Association and the Professional League will strive to open the Chinese Super League before May Day. This season, 18 teams in the Chinese Super League will play 34 rounds, and the first stage will most likely adopt a tournament system, with 18 teams divided into 3 groups and competing in different 3 cities.
However, before the start of the Chinese Super League, the access problem of all levels of the league will give the Football Association a headache. As we all know, many Chinese Super League clubs have different degrees of wage arrears, if according to the previous access principle, I am afraid that many clubs will not have access. This afternoon, the Chinese Football Association held a special meeting to specifically study the access to leagues at all levels in the new season.
According to previous reports, clubs with unpaid wages need to sign a "repayment agreement" with the players who are underpaid, and this agreement includes key matters such as the specific amount of unpaid wages, repayment methods, repayment periods, etc. As long as the player who is owed wages signs this "repayment agreement", it can be equivalent to the validity of the salary and bonus confirmation form.
Among the 18 Chinese Super League teams, the most difficult at present is Hebei. Because the share reform is not smooth, Hebei is the only team in the Chinese Super League that has not yet assembled, and when it will be assembled is still unknown. However, Hebei coach Kim Jong-fu has returned to China, after Kim Jong-fu said that he would fight with the club and fans to the end.
