Dalian met Taishan in the semi-final of the AFC Cup. Before the start of this match, Xie Hui said that he would go all out. This statement made many fans think that Xie Hui would send all the main lineup to kill Taishan, but he didn't fulfill his promise. In order to ensure relegation to the Chinese Super League, Xie Hui chose to rotate his lineup and Taishan for the semi-final of the AFC Cup. The last round of Dalian outstanding performance Wu Miao won, the number three goalkeeper Kudizhi up.
Dalian met Taishan in the last round of the Chinese Super League. In this game, Wu Miao performed well in front of the goal and made many wonderful saves. It can be said that without Dalian Gao's resistant saves, it was difficult for the team to get a point in Taishan. In the semi-final of the FA Cup between Dalian and Taishan, the head coach Xie Hui abandoned Wu Miao, which obviously meant to give Taishan a convenient feeling.
Looking at the match between Taishan and Dalian, Shandong also has to thank Shehui for letting go. Because Taishan's match form and performance was average. Taishan made a mistake in the opening period, the main center back Jia Desong had to commit a foul to stop the opponent from committing a foul and thus was sent off with a red card. Taishan played one man short before the first half was over. Imagine if Dalian did field a starting lineup, the team would have had to be prepared to at least play for penalties.
Taishan still has an AFC Champions League game to play, so if you spend too much energy with Dalian, it's bound to affect the team's performance in the AFC Champions League. To summarize, Xie Hui did give Choi Kang-hee a face by sending out a substitute lineup to play Taishan. It's worth mentioning that this group of Dalian substitutes performed well and created many threatening chances for the fans.
In the future relegation battle in the Chinese Super League, if Dalian has these excellent substitutes, then the team will be able to successfully kill off the competition. As a veteran team, Dalian has a history of winning the CSL title. Hopefully, under the leadership of young manager Xie Hui, Dalian will be able to rebuild its previous glory as soon as possible.
