The latest news from Korea's best 11 reveals that the country's soccer schedule has suddenly come to a standstill, with the point at which the Chinese Super League kicks off in limbo.
With the lingering shadow of the Xin Guan epidemic and the strict enforcement of quarantine measures in mega-cities such as Shanghai, the normalization of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A is facing numerous obstacles. Today, international invitations to national teams cannot be exchanged, and even the East Asian Cup, which was originally scheduled to be held within our borders, has changed hands to Japan. Even attempting to play abroad involves a cumbersome administrative process, and the un-started state of the Chinese Super League has become a burden for the players - who are in a worrying state, that much is clear.
The uncertainty of when the Chinese Super League (CSL) will restart has added to the uncertainty for South Korean players Son Jun-ho and Kang Sang-woo, who are playing in the CSL. While the players are doing their best in their respective leagues in the fierce competition for Korea's roster, Son Joon Ho and Kang Sang Woo are anxious about not being able to participate, as their dream of playing in the Qatar World Cup seems to be fading away and their situation in their home country is adding to their anxiety.
