The start-up period of the Chinese Super League has reached more than 9 months. The whole competition will be prepared with the national character.
How does 2019 Super League meet the inflection point “?
The grand curtain of the 2019 Super League will officially open tonight.
Against the background that the national team and the Olympic team respectively started the new cycle FIFA World Cup qualification and the Olympic preliminary, the Super League cycle this season has been extended to an unprecedented 9 months, the whole event will also be run around the focus of “preparing for war with the national character. However, practice has proved that all this should not be at the cost of “sacrificing the interests of the League.
From the perspective of Evergrande and Tianhai “hoarding” state-owned players, to China and heguoan, one side’s efforts to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and then to the “price reduction does not reduce” of various brigade recruitment, the competition in the Super League is still surging this season.
In the face of all kinds of governance measures launched by the Chinese Football Association, all clubs set off brainstorming and flexible response. They all have “ideas” for the competition in the Chinese Super League in the new season “. Investors know a truth very well-only by keeping the quality of the league at a higher level can they be full of the strength of each national character, and the success of each national character team on the international front can constitute a beneficial feedback to the league.
The 2019 season is of extraordinary significance to the Chinese Super League. If the operation is not effective, the glitz piled up by strong aid and Kingyuan will be broken. Investors will re-examine the advantages and disadvantages of investing in football, chinese professional football may usher in a “turning point”.
Watch one
Span for more than 9 months
The main distribution of national team is concentrated
The talk about “national character playing Super League” finally ended in rumors. However, different from the 2018 season, the 2019 season is the beginning of FIFA World Cup qualification in 2022 and the start of the 2020 Olympic preliminary. The national men’s football team and the National Olympic men’s football team, which respectively carry the heavy responsibility of the two major competitions of Chinese football, are the pillars of the Chinese Super League except for a few members who play for overseas and Chinese club. At the end of last year, the sports management department clearly took “national football impact on the 2022 World Cup” as the focus of this year’s work. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Evergrande club has successively signed five former U23 national football main forces and Tianhai club’s actions of collecting several outstanding U25 age groups after the end of the Asian Cup. No matter whether the two teams are the legendary “National Football Training Team 1 and Team 2”, their leaders will inevitably play the main force of the future national football and the role of beneficial supplement.
In the 2019 season, the span of the Chinese Super League has reached an unprecedented 9 months, and the arrangement of reaching an average of about 3 weeks in each intermission is obviously to cooperate with the preparation and competition of the national team and the Olympic team this year. This arrangement provides a buffer space for clubs to deal with various competitions, but it is also precisely because the national character teams are facing frequent training, the rhythm of the league is disrupted, and injuries are inevitable. Coupled with the uneven distribution of international players, the fairness of league competition may also be affected. The resulting disputes may also rise one after another.
Point 2
Evergrande wants to build an all-China class”
Can you break through the tight enemy
After Shanggang broke Evergrande’s monopoly on the championship for seven seasons last year, the competition for the Super League championship this season was obviously very “chewed”. Judging from the information transmitted by the winter transfer market, the defending champion Shanggang did not introduce any domestic or foreign aid in the export of four local players including the top scorer Wu Lei last season. This may be related to the Chinese Football Association’s restriction on club investment through “cap. However, the capabilities of foreign aid groups Hulk, Oscar, ahldoff and Elkerson are at least in the leading position in the alliance.
Like last season, the competition camp for the championship of the Chinese Super League this season has remained stable. In addition to going to Hong Kong, China heguoan, who has gained the upper hand in the transfer market this year and initiated the introduction of naturalized players in China, obviously does not meet the “Cup Champions”. They are the same as Evergrande and Luneng, for this year’s League Championship is full of longing.
If there is any new idea in this year’s championship competition, it is a big point whether Evergrande, which aims to build a team with “All-China Class”, can break through other internal and external aid lineups to stabilize competitors. After releasing three strong foreign aid players, Alan, Kim Young-Gwon and Golat, Evergrande, who appeared in this year’s Super League, kept only two foreign aid teams according to the new team rules. Even though Paulino and tariska have outstanding personal abilities, if the local players are not powerful, they will still find it difficult to rebuild the overbearing industry. After introducing five former U23 international players, the local camp of Evergrande team in the new season has completed a relatively large transformation. However, whether the newcomers can be grounded and whether the old and new forces are in place is not only related to the competitive prospect of Evergrande team, but also related to the restructuring of the national team in the future.
Point 3
Small and Medium Teams strengthen recruitment
The degree of competition is more intense.
The division of competition camps in the league matches is relatively clear and different from that in previous years. Although the appeals of the Chinese Super League teams in the 2019 season are different, except for several elite teams with outstanding comprehensive capabilities, they are in the middle, the boundaries between teams at the downstream level are not very clear.
Last year, the promotion team even became the most “crazy” team in the recruitment market this year, except for China, heguoan, Evergrande and Tianhai. However, many middle and small club teams, including the promotion horse Dreher, are no less than old-brand teams in terms of preparation and recruitment. Therefore, despite the competition between champions and Asian champions, it is difficult for them to determine their positions in the league. Because there are relatively few players drawn by the national character number, some even have no personnel drawn and do not need to be distracted on the international front, it is very beneficial for the team to concentrate on playing the league.
Liaozu, Yanbian Fude, Guizhou Hengfeng and Changchun Yatai, who were downgraded from the Super League in 2017 and 2018, were not the promotion teams of the Super League in the current season. This fact proves to some extent that “professional football is difficult to recover from the poor”, and also shows that the degree of fierce competition in the premier league of the chinese super league is no less than the battle for champions and asian champions league tickets. After the crash of last year’s Grade protection, one party successively introduced local generals such as Zheng Long, Zhao Xuri, Zhao Mingjian and Li Jianbin this year, and bought out Qin Sheng and Yang Shanping. In terms of foreign aid, in addition to retaining the World Cup international players like Carrasco, it also supplements the first-class foreign aid like hamsike and Boateng, which has a great potential of “restructuring Dalian Football. Besides Tianjin Tianhai, its local rival TEDA also introduced German shooter Wagner. Although the other non-winning hot teams have different strengths and directions, they have also made some achievements. Both the deep foot and the Dreher upgrading teams have also done their homework for “standing feet.

4 Local coaches
Can you keep strong foreign aid?
With the closing of the domestic winter transfer window for the 2019 season on February 28, all the travelers of the Chinese Super League, including the coach, have also been confirmed. This season, the competition pattern of the coach who is “surrounded by foreign handsome” remains unchanged, with only four local coaches sitting on the team’s handsome position. They are Luneng coach Li Xiaopeng, Tianhai coach Shen Xiangfu, Jianye coach Wang Baoshan and Dreher coach Li Tie.
Four local coaches are at different ages and are recognized as the best local coaches. Among them, Li Xiaopeng broke through the surrounding of foreign teachers last year after “70” and won the title of the best coach in the season. His success undoubtedly also gives great encouragement to the vast number of local coaches with lofty aspirations.
However, it has to be said that the governance measures of the Chinese Football Association cannot fundamentally help the club get rid of its dependence on super foreign aid. In terms of controlling foreign aid, local coaches seem to have insufficient “aura. The purpose of employing foreign famous coaches in various clubs is to prevent foreign and foreign strong aid.
If Wang Baoshan and Li Tie are dormant in the middle and lower reaches of the team and have no time to deal with foreign teachers, then the appearance of the old coach Shen Xiangfu in the new season is worthy of expectations from the outside world. On the one hand, before taking over Tianhai, he was controversial for coaching the national football training team. On the other hand, after the Tianhai team he took over experienced the change of the main body of the club, the color of “National Football Training Team II” was highlighted. Like Cannavaro, the coach of Heng brigade, whether Shen Xiangfu can bring the team to the right track under the circumstance of doubt and show competitiveness in the league environment also attracts special attention. Compared with Li Xiaopeng, it may be more difficult for Lao Shen to make a breakthrough in the new season.

Professional Referee, please
The league environment will be better
On 23rd day of this month, the Chinese Football Association held a new season of Chinese Super League and Chinese league mobilization meeting in Suzhou. As in previous years, the maintenance of the Gypsy style competition period is still the top priority of the league work in the new season. In order to do relevant work well, the discipline committee of the Chinese Football Association specially revised the “discipline standards of the Association (punishment measures)”, and according to the relevant rules of Fifa and Fifa, some types of disciplinary violations are clearly punished severely. For example, once players spit at the referee, they will face a one-year penalty.
When it comes to the referee, I have to mention the professional referee newly launched by the Chinese Football Association this year. Chinese and foreign famous whistles such as Ma Ning, Fu Ming, Zhang Lei, Clattenberg and marzic will become the first professional judges employed by the Chinese Football Association.
The introduction of professional referees means that referees will be able to focus more on domestic competitions, especially League enforcement. It is also of special significance to improve the referee work and strengthen the environmental governance of the league in FIFA World Cup qualification. Those local elite players who are about to go to various competitions to hit the stage should not only improve their competitive level and pressure resistance through the league matches, but also be familiar with the international penalty rules, strictly observe discipline to ensure self-discipline in the international arena.

Extended Reading
Guoan has the strength of the League Championship
Report from our correspondent (Reporter Zhang Kunlong) as the defending champion of the FA Cup, Beijing Zhonghe Guoan has set a new goal for the 2019 season, although coach Schmidt and general manager Li Ming did not shout out the slogan of winning the League Championship, but there is no doubt that, as one of the most competitive teams in the current super field, after making targeted reinforcement for the lineup, today’s Guoan has the strength to impact the league championship.
When it comes to the joining of new aid, the rapid and accurate action of Guoan in the past transfer window surprised people. After all, the club has not continued to offer big aid for many years. This year, both the introduction of U23 players and the joining of foreign aid have highlighted the confidence of the club and even the group in building a team with competitive strength. When the six newcomers stand in front of everyone in turn, I believe that many people also have new answers to the team’s goals and pursuits in the new season. “National security always strives for the first” is a slogan, and to turn it into a creed and the direction of efforts, it needs to be united by various factors.
In the first game of the season, Guoan lost super cup of the Championship in Hong Kong. It was not terrible to lose. I believe that the team that found the problem and regrouped will still give a wonderful duel to the fans in the Super League stadium of the new season, A championship trophy is also the best gift for those fans who have been waiting for the Vulcan Cup for 10 years.
