Zhao Mingjian faced his old master without evasive clauses and Dalian Yingbo will have to secure at least these two wins for a 5-game winning streak to lay the foundation for the Super League run. Karanga's form determines Dalian Yingbo's final result this season. He played three times and scored one goal. He has not been relied upon to win games during this period. But as the league progresses, there will surely be a lot of hard battles that need to be fought by foreigners and cannot rely entirely on local players. The offensive end will need both Kotelnik and Karanga to play.
Zhu Pengyu, Lv Zhuo Yi, Xiao Qiang and Mao Weijie have settled into starting positions and are all important players. After joining Karan, Zhu Pengyu is still firmly in the starting lineup. In the words of Zhao Mingjian, Zhu Pengyu is like a robot, constantly running forward. Zhu Pengyu has also been in a goal drought for a few games since his long range shot against Yunnan Yukun was misjudged. He remains Dalian Yingbo's first choice up front in the next two crucial matches.
Veteran Lv Peng didn't rest in one game, and Fei Yu returned to form after scoring two goals in his last game. Compared with Chongqing Tongliang Dragons and Guangxi, Dalian Yingbo's lineup is very mature. It's time for Dalian to move three points ahead of Chongqing and seven points ahead of Guangxi. As long as Dalian guarantees back-to-back wins and leads second place by at least 4-6 points, the initiative is firmly in hand. Dalian Yingbo has not shouted the goal of surpassing this year, but with all kinds of strengthening and a series of actions, you can see the ambition of surpassing. Head coach Li Guoxu is very strict with his players.
