Dalian Yingbo lost to Guangzhou before due to the young opponents and over running ability. Chongqing Tongliang Dragons young players Yu Wang and Song Pan performed well, compared to Mao Weijie. In addition, Chongqing's foreign aid configuration is also very reasonable. Former Chinese Super League foreign aid Tabek sits in town. Whether or not Dalian Yingbo has the strength to go beyond depends on whether or not this tough battle can be won, which tests Li Guoxu's coaching ability and tactics.
The good news is that Fei Yu could return from injury, posting on social media that he'll be ready next week himself. His return brings a change in the Dalian Imbo midfield, with Lv Peng and Fei Yu back together, and Mao Weijie can return to a familiar edge. With Kotelnik injured, the midfield lacks players with the ability to hold the ball up, and Sun Bao has become Dalian's only ball-carrying big man up front, but he's not fit enough, and he played the whole last game, which was completely out of the original plan. This year, Dalian relies on defense to stay at the top of the table, 10 games, only conceding 5 goals, ahead of Yunnan Yukun.
