Thanks to Lin Liangming's second goal and Lv Peng's goal, Dalian won on the road against Beijing Guoan and made it the first three consecutive victories in the last three seasons. After breaking an embarrassing nine-game losing streak against Beijing Guoan with a draw in the first round, this game broke an embarrassing ten-game losing streak against Guoan. In this game, Dalian fans waited for nine years. Nine years undefeated Guoan is not the first curse that Dalian broke this season. Hopefully not the last curse the team breaks this season.
Facing Beijing Guoan, Coach Xie rotated his lineup, with 5-man u23 players appearing to give the impression of training. After a chaotic first half, after the break, Coach Xie waved his flag and replaced Lin Liangming and Sun Guowen. This change also became the turning point of the game. Lin Liangming scored two goals, assisted by Sun Guowen. Meanwhile, substitute Lv Peng sealed the victory. Even though four foreigners were brought in during the summer window, domestic players are still the absolute mainstay of the team. The embarrassing nine-year undefeated record has passed, but this is not the first curse that Dalian broke this season.
In the 11th round of the league at home against Shanghai Harbor, Dalian and Lin Liangming's goals ended a five-game losing streak against the harbor in the league with a draw at home. In the 16th round of the tournament against Hebei, Yan and Tesonev's goals gave the Dahlians a win over their opponents, ending a streak of six consecutive victories over Hebei. In the second. In the second round of the tournament, the Dalian People completed a double over Hebei. In the 20th round against Wuhan Changjiang, Lin Liangming scored and Fei Yu won as the Dalianites won the crucial battle to end a streak of five consecutive games. Embarrassing record after embarrassing record was broken, and we had a bit of a face once the double killed our opponents.
Facing Changchun Yatai last season, Dalian failed to fight back, and with two draws this season, Dalian is even ahead of Changchun Yatai in terms of the table. In last season's relegation group match, Jose's Tianji Racehorse cost Dalian a good match when it was against Cangzhou Lions, and from last season's double-header to today's one draw, Dalian remains undefeated. After being beaten by Shenzhen in their first 20 seasons, the two teams haven't played in 21 seasons, and Dalian beat their opponents 7-1 in two rounds this season. If the above matches aren't enough to make you happy, the 2-0 home win over Chengdu Chengdu could be called a revenge match - after all, Chengdu Chengdu once personally sent Dalian People to China.
There are still five rounds left in the league. The next curse to break should be beating Shenhua in six consecutive games. As Dalian's old rivals, the two teams are very familiar and have a close relationship from coaches to players, even though they don't have the pomp and circumstance of Shanghai's rivalry in the past. I hope the team can lighten up and win four in a row!
