In the 24th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Dalian lost 0-3 to Zhejiang. After the match, according to Dalian's local media, Peninsula Morning Post, the loss stretched Dalian and Qingdao Hainiu, who won this round, to five points for relegation. Dalian, who were shut out by three goals in two consecutive matches, were poor at seizing opportunities on the offensive end and had a porous defense. Head coach Xie Hui once again felt the crisis of his dismissal. Last season, the suppressed Xie Hui successfully helped the team to finish the relegation task. In the new season, many of Dalian's main players left the team and the club's top management had limited funds to bring in new recruits, resulting in a decline in strength. Xie Hui is also a smart woman and can't help the team out of the woods without rice.
Although the media revealed that Xie Hui is likely to be dismissed due to poor performance, Dalian Ren are currently in the critical stage of relegation, the resignation of Xie Hui may affect the morale, and it is difficult for Dalian Ren to find a suitable replacement. But if Dalian are relegated, Xie Hui will probably be a loser. Xie Hui himself is afraid that he is not willing to condescend to coaching in China's first division. Although Dalian's performance this season has not been ideal, after nearly two seasons of experience and coaching ability has improved greatly, Xie Hui has become the number one manager in the Chinese Super League. After leaving Dalian Ren, I will definitely find a suitable next family to continue coaching my career.
Personally, I think two of Xie Hui's old employers, Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Harbor, are likely to be ideal places for Xie Hui. Shenhua coach Wu Jingui and Harbour coach Javier are currently on the verge of being dropped. During his playing days, Xie Hui played for Shanghai Shenhua for a long time. After retiring, Xie Hui helped Shanghai Seaport win their only Chinese Super League title as their assistant coach. After leaving Shanghai Seaport, Xie Hui started his coaching career at Nantong Zhiyun, a promoted team in the Chinese Super League, but he lost his job as he adapted to the drunken exposure of Seaport's inside story of winning the title. Considering the feud between Xie Hui and Shanghai Seaport, it is unlikely that he will return to coach Seaport.
Dalian attacking ace Lin Liangming is likely to be Xie Hui's conference gift to his old boss Shanghai Myth. The domestic striker, who has been playing for Real Madrid B for a long time, has become the ace of offense in Xie Hui's tactical system. With his outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League, he managed to make the national team's training list, scoring goals. If Dalian are unlucky enough to be relegated, Lin Liangming will likely follow Xie Hui to join Shanghai Shenhua, replacing the 36-year-old as the mainstay of the attacking end of the Hanchao Shenhua.
