Through this high-quality warm-up match, the Zimmen Tigers not only examined trial players such as Jin Yangyang, but also continued to sharpen their lineup.

With the schedule of the Chinese Super League clear in the preparatory work of the Chinese Football Association, the next focus of the Jinmen Tigers is to study how to deal with the new challenges brought about by the schedule changes. !

At the preparatory work meeting of our soccer association held on the afternoon of July 5, the previously hotly debated claim that this season's Super League will be scaled down and played across the year was finally confirmed: ! [meeting photos](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371514512501668.jpg) In order to make way for the National Football League World Qualifier, this season's Chinese Super League will be changed from 30 rounds to 22 rounds, with the league restarting on July 15 and the first phase of the tournament being played on August 12, completing nine rounds of matches in a total of 28 days, with Chinese Super League teams maintaining a rhythm of one match every three days; From December 1, the second stage of the second 8 rounds of matches, the entire season will end on January 3, 2022, compared with the first stage, the second stage of 34 days to complete 8 rounds of matches, the rhythm is slightly eased, and the league ended in early January, but also to a large extent to solve the teams inside and outside the aid contract overdue whether the difficult problem of whether the contract should be renewed. ! [League schedule](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371516075001668.jpg) But no matter what, this season's Premier League full to play in two months, for the Premier League teams, are never experienced the challenge, and in the off-season, the teams of international players are also facing the mission of the 12 strong match preparations and games, in the next six months, the international players will be destined to be very busy and exhausting. ! [National Footballers Preparation](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371631700001668.jpg) In addition to the time of the game, this season's Chinese Super League in the system also made corresponding adjustments: the end of the first phase, the second phase of the Chinese Super League will be divided into the championship group and relegation group, and the knockout rounds of the last season is different, this time it is based on the total number of points for the final rankings. Specifically: ! [System adjustment](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371633262501668.jpg) The Championship Group consists of the top 4 of the two groups, and the Relegation Group consists of the bottom 4 of the two groups, with each group playing an intra-group double round robin (teams that have already played each other in the first stage will not play each other again); Points from the first stage will be carried over to the second stage, and the total points from the two stages will be used to determine the final ranking of the league. The 1-8th place in the championship group will be the 1-8th place in the league, and the 1-8th place in the relegation group will be the 9-16th place in the league. It is worth mentioning that after the end of the World Preliminary 40, Chen Xuyuan, the president of the CFA, in an interview with Xinhua News Agency, talked about the league program and mentioned that it should follow two principles, "The first one is that the league is a very important cornerstone of Chinese soccer, and the league can not be sacrificed because of the national team; the second one is that the Chinese Super League has to be stopped during the preparations for and the games of the national team and the league, which does not have the participation of the national team players, is also a good place to start. The league with the participation of national team players will also lose a lot of significance." At the same time, Chen Xuyuan also pointed out that, in order to carry out the Chinese Super League in a special situation, the Football Association studied and drew up three specific programs, will also consult the views of the Chinese Super League clubs, and ultimately form a generally accepted plan. But it is clear that in the case of the basic non-existence of the national team and the Chinese Super League can be fully guaranteed perfect program, now this league plan has been as far as possible to take care of the interests of all parties, but also to protect the league's framework and fairness, basically can be accepted by the participants. ! [FA Chairman Chen Xuyuan](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371633262501668.jpg) The journey of the Chinese Super League's Jinmen Tigers is full of ups and downs and challenges From the point of view of the new schedule of the Chinese Super League, compared to the league reduced to 15 rounds of the extreme practice, will be reduced to 22 rounds of the league to meet the needs of the national team at the same time, but also has been as far as possible to ensure that the interests of the sponsors; from the point of view of the game system, the group of the championship group and the relegation of the group to carry out a group double round-robin tournament, but also than the previous year's elimination of the tournament system is more reasonable, more just; and from the championship and the relegation of the two groups planning, and based on the 22 rounds of the total number of points for the From the point of view of the two groups planning for the championship and relegation, as well as based on the total points of the 22 rounds of ranking within the group, also strive to be fair and impartial, as far as possible not to leave loopholes. After all, if you only calculate the group points of the championship group and relegation group, although the group ranking is more reasonable, but it is easy to appear in the first stage to determine the possibility of the top four teams will let go of the water; and, the relegation group points and then high, the final league rankings up to the 9th, which can also prevent the possibility of a team for the reversal of overtaking the car, intentionally into the relegation of the weaker teams piled up to snatch the possibility of the relegation group. ! [Jinmen Tigers prepare for battle](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371633262501668.jpg) Of course, the challenges posed by this rigorous schedule and system of play in the Chinese Super League are also unprecedented. First of all, the schedule of 3 days one match is something that the Chinese Super League teams have never experienced before, which puts a huge test on the team's bench depth, the players' physical exertion, as well as their recovery from injuries; in addition, such an intensive schedule puts higher demands on the referee's enforcement, as well as on the personnel allocation of the tournament's broadcasters; and, more importantly, such a schedule also makes the first phase of the league's matches even more brutal, and rather Highlighted the importance of the first stage of the grouping, after all, the more powerful teams piled up in Guangzhou District (Guangzhou, Shandong Taishan, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, Henan Songshan Longmen, Guangzhou City, Shenzhen, Qingdao, Cangzhou Lions), Suzhou District (Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Harbour, Shanghai Shenhua, Hebei, Tianjin Tianjin Tianjin Tigers, Dalian people, Wuhan, Changchun Yatai) team polarization is more obvious. ! [Chinese Super League fixtures](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371659825001668.jpg) For Tianjin Jinmen Tigers alone, they still have to strategize to cope with the 3-day schedule and the huge pressure to grab points. For the Jinmen Tigers slightly favorable is that the first phase of the first 5 rounds of the league, the team has grabbed 4 points, this score is even more than the strong lineup of Cangzhou Lions, Wuhan team; and, the first phase of the Jinmen Tigers where the group grab points is relatively easy, if you can bring enough points into the second phase, and then try to suppress the same group of rivals in the second phase, the Jinmen Tigers of the initiative of relegation can still be grasped in their own hands. If they can get enough points to enter the second stage, and then try to suppress their rivals in the second stage, Zimmermen Tigers can still grasp the initiative of relegation. ! [Jinmen Tigers prepare for battle](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371712950001668.jpg) Although the current outside world about the league for the national team to make way for all kinds of questions and criticism, but must see is that, compared to the previous several bets on the World Cup, the league for the national team to make way for the most important reason is still affected by the current anti-epidemic policy of our country, if the country's anti-epidemic measures are not so strict, the national team only need to stay out of FIFA provisions of the international match day window can be, the Chinese Super League does not need to make so big! The Chinese Super League does not need to make such a big adjustment. However, the epidemic at the time, the national anti-epidemic policy can not be discounted, and to ensure that the interests of the international players, to protect and ensure that the league's high quality and fairness, all considerations, the Chinese Super League for the national team to make way for the inevitable result. ! [Jinmen Tigers prepare for war](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371712950001668.jpg) The AFC Cup is a wonderful time to practice! In addition to the league, the 2021 AFC Cup system was also finalized at the meeting. 64 matches will be played in the 2021 AFC Cup, divided into two phases: the preliminaries and the main round. China B and China A teams are required to play the preliminaries, while the Chinese Super League teams will play the main round directly. 6 China B, 9 China A and 1 Chinese Championship teams will advance to the main round. Among them, the preliminaries of China B will be held from July 31 to August 1: 24 into 12 (8 into 4 in each region); from August 3 to 4, 12 into 6 (4 into 2 in each region), and finally 6 China B teams will be promoted to the main round of the AFC Cup. The preliminaries of the Central League will be held from August 18th to 20th (18 into 9).

[AFC Cup schedule](https://www.ballti.com/UploadFiles/Sinaimg/202107/2021070602371761387501668.jpg) From the FA Cup schedule, the debut battle of the Jinmen Tigers on October 16, that is, from the end of the first phase of the Chinese Super League to the debut of the FA Cup, the Jinmen Tigers have more than 2 months of off-season, in this window, the team is able to continue to sharpen the lineup, improve the technical and tactical capabilities, but how to ensure that the players do not decline in physical and mental state, is a relatively big challenge. And from October 16th, Jinmen Tigers will be graded for the knockout rounds, due to the international players due to the World Cup task can not participate in the AFC Cup, which also gives the "civilian team" cold time. Of course, compared to create a dark horse miracle, for the Jinmen Tigers, the AFC Cup is also the second phase of the league before the opening of a very valuable test and exercise the team's timing, and every promotion, but also to let the team physically and mentally a metamorphosis. !
