Last season, the Dalian people who rushed into the Chinese Super League were not optimistic, but under the joint efforts of the Dalian Football Reform Group, Wanda Group owner Wang Jianlin, the management of Dalian Professional Football Club, the coaching staff, all the players, the staff, the fans and the soccer city, and under the leadership of the character coach Xie Hui, the Dalian people amazed the whole Chinese Super League with their aggressive offense and tactics, and became the most surprised and supported by the media and fans team.
Ahead of the start of the 2023 Chinese Super League, and despite various unreliable rumors, Dalian's professional soccer music department hasn't suffered too much as the team is undergoing winter training in Haikou under the leadership of Xie Hui. Dalian recently played its first warm-up match of the winter training preparation period at the Mission Hills soccer base in Haikou against the Royal Liners Beijing Guoan, who started their winter training half a month earlier than the Dalianites and just beat Changchun Yatai 3-0 in a warm-up match.
The main purpose of this instructional competition is to hone the lineup and test the results of previous training.
The warm-ups were divided into four 25-minute periods, as per pre-game protocol.
In the first two quarters, Tse Fai sent out his quasi strongest lineup, with 30-Wu Wei (Late Pool note: player number in front) guarding the Dragon Gate, Hong Kong, China's 44-Laureus and veteran 2-Lam Lung Cheong teaming up at center back, and veteran 23-Business Hidden once again making a cameo appearance at right back, with 47-Chiu Chia Nan recruited as left back because of the many key players in the final stages of last season.
28 - Fei Yu, Serbian wide man 40 - Bosanjic and 31 - Lv Peng construct the midfield.
7-Lin Liangming, teased as a Real Madrid celebrity, Dalian Jinzhou-born 39-Yan Xiangguan (field captain) and German wideout 17-Mamba make up the offensive line.
Opponent Beijing Guoan also sent a lot of main force, the two teams starting lineup on the pitch, Dalian people prevailed, using pressure tactics and fast attack and defense to suppress the opponent, the front line often create danger to the other side of the defense, the defense is stable, staged frequent assists to the other side of the left side of the defense to create trouble, Dalian people in the shooting and corner kicks than the Guoan, but did not score, the two teams in the first two sections of each other white paper, 0-0.
In the next two quarters of the game, the coaches of both teams made extensive rotations. For Dalian, 1-Zhang Chong, 24-Liu Le, 5-Wu Wei, 27-Yang Pengju, 26-Cui Ming'an, 35-Wang Yu, 38-Lv Zhuo Yi, and 9-Shan Huanhuan came on. The thickness of Beijing Guoan's squad is very considerable. Even with the rotation, new and old internationals and foreigners such as Dabao, Park Cheng, Yang Fan, Cao Yongsheng and Gao Tianyi, who were selected for the national soccer team, were still present. Although Dalian's rotating players fought aggressively and resolutely carried out Xie Hui's tactical arrangements, their strength was very different from that of their opponents.
In the third quarter, Cao Yongjing assisted Jiang Xiangyou to break the deadlock, then Cao scored twice in a minute to extend the lead to 3-0. last season's loanee Yang Pengju took advantage of a corner kick to score to bring the score to 1-3. in the fourth quarter, Jiang Xiangyou assisted Xu Dongdong in the goal, and Yan Yu scored in the final period to bring the Dalianites to a 1-5 defeat.
In the match, Bulgarian foreigner 10-Tsonev and Central African striker 45-Manzoki were out with injuries, while last season 13-Wang Yaopeng and 19-Wang Zhenao were in the recovery phase and did not play. Veteran 8-Ju Ting did not return to the team due to injury.
14-Huang Jiahui, 6-Wang Xianjun, 18-He Yupeng, 15-Zhao Jianbo, 36-Wang Jinshuai are training with the National Football Team for the Asian Games and the National Olympic Team and have not returned yet.
Looking at the starting lineup for this game, the framework for the new season's lineup in Xie Hui's mind has begun to emerge. Zhu Ting, He Yupeng and Lv Zhuo Yi may play as wingbacks, Wang Yaopeng and Wang Xianjun may compete with Lin Longchang for the starting center backs, Huang Jiahui can compete with the starting center backs, and Tesonev, Manzocchi and Shang Yin can compete with the main midfielders.
Personally, I think that even with Tong Lei and Dong Yanfeng and Sun Guowen, who are jokingly called the Wenfeng Mourning Duo, gone, the united Dalian people are still competitive. What do you think?
