The fifth round of the 2023 Chinese Super League (CSL), the Battle of Lianshanghai, was staged at the Shanghai Stadium on the evening of May 5 (tonight) at 19:35 Beijing time. Last season, the Dalian people challenged veteran team Shanghai Shenhua on the road, and they marveled the Chinese Super League with aggressive attacks and tactics.
The major platforms of CCTV sports, including CCTV5, have no plans to broadcast the game, but there are three platforms for all-round live broadcast. The two platforms for live TV broadcasts are Dalian Radio and Television's Culture and Sports Channel and Shanghai Five Star Sports, jokingly referred to by Dalian fans as the Rolling Jacks.
Tencent, which is responsible for web and mobile broadcasting, owns all the live terminals for the Chinese Super League broadcasting rights. Unsurprisingly, there is still a fee this time (coupon). This one is richer than anon watching Dalian fans!
It is worth mentioning that Dalian Wanda Cinema continues to provide free theaters to offer exclusive benefits for soccer city fans to watch the Chinese Super League in theaters. This time, there are three stores organizing fans to watch the game, namely Heping Store, Quanshui Store and Ganghui Store.
Lian-Shanghai rivalry is the main theme of Chinese soccer professionalization after the A A decade. After more than a decade of tossing and turning, Dalian soccer has suffered a serious brain drain and breakage, and its strength has plummeted. Shanghai Shenhua ushered in the big money owner, still the landlord of the Chinese Super League.
With the support of the Football Reform Group and Dalian Professional Football Club, Dalian Football Youth Training is gradually recovering. Although the team is unable to sign a contract for the time being, the whole team is united, the coach Xie Hui commands the team well, and the veterans such as Yan Xiangguan, Lv Peng, Zhu Ting and Shang Yin are old and strong. Young players like Lin Liangming and Huang Jiahui are working hard in every game. Foreigners like Tesonev and Mamba are also good value. In the first four rounds, Dalian People won 1, drew 2, lost 1 and 5 points, ranking seventh in the table.
While Shanghai Shenhua, coached by Wu Jingui, have dropped veterans such as Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting and Qin Sheng, they still have strong foreigners, as well as old and new internationals such as Wu Xi, Yu Hanchao, Zhu Chenjie and Cao Jieding.
Shanghai Shenhua have been playing steadily this season, winning their opening 3 straight games with 3 1-0s. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Chen Xuyuan's old hosts Shanghai Port, with many current international players such as Wu Lei and Zhang Linmiao, and both teams are tied with 10 points. Shenhua are second in the table on goal difference.
The two teams met twice last season, with one win each. The first time, Dalian People suffered a reversal at home, losing 1-2 to Shanghai Shenhua. However, in the away game, Dalian people also gave Shenhua a reversal, beating the opponent 2-1, to avenge the defeat.
In this round of matches, Xie Hui will once again lead the Dalian people to play against the old owner who once played for many years.
In addition to Xie Hui, Shang Yin and Fei Yu from the Dalian lineup will also be playing against their hometown team. Shanghai Shenhua wasn't teased about being Dalian seniors last season, but there are still Dalian players in Han Chao, Jin Yangyang and Ma Zhen, and the young player surnamed Wen is also from the Dalian youth training system. The two teams can say you have me and I have you.
Shanghai Shenhua's staffing is far superior to Dalian's, with a clear strength advantage. However, national soccer team captain Wu Xi is unable to play due to injury, and foreign aid Teixeira is suspended for a red card. The absence of the two main players will undoubtedly give Dalian a chance to grab points on the road.
Once again, the result doesn't matter as long as Dalian presses on! Go Dalian, good luck Dalian!
