General Manager Chen Dong said that the team intends to combine old and new strengths, create opportunities for young players, and bring in some experienced veterans. The main purpose of this is to ensure that the team has a stable foothold in the Central League and keep the bottom line. Many of the veterans are well-known players in the Chinese Super League, and the younger players include players such as Mao Weijie, newcomer Wang Tengda, Wu Xinze, and Huang Shan. They will be the main players in the new season. Dalian Yingbo, as a newly promoted horse, actually belongs to the middle level in the Central League, such as signing and ladder construction.
The foreigners also have eyebrows, there is a striker and defender that will arrive to the team in a couple of years, but don't expect too much, the value of the foreigners, the resumes are not high, the main focus is on the cost performance. The goal of the first year is not to reach the Super League, so it depends more on the performance of local players. GM Chen Dong is also a famous player in Dalian. He has always followed this team. Even though he changed investors, the new owners including coach Li Guoxu did not change. He is a coach whose strength is greater than his fame. Dalian Yingbo team can't be ignored in the new season.
The new season will be very competitive in the Premier League and the Central League. Each team in the Premier League has tons of assistance. The Central League One has at least three teams looking to go beyond and as many as five teams eager to try. As a promoted team, Dalian Yingbo have set a goal of making it to the Super League in three years. The first year's goal is relegation, the second year focuses on giving young players a workout, and the third year, when the newcomers have grown up and two better foreign aiders are brought in to help out, overtaking the league is not a difficult task. Dalian soccer has experienced too many ups and downs, and now we need to play every game steadily and take every step realistically. We are not seeking to bring in all kinds of excellent foreign aid like we did in '18, we just hope to do it consistently.
