By Jia Yanfeng, Dalian Ren hosted Beijing Guoan on the night of the 9th and ended up with a 2-2 draw. The result was unexpected and many people did not expect it before the game. Judging from the course of the match, Dalian still could have won the game, but the final draw gave each team a point. As a result, Dalian failed to jump out of the embarrassing situation of last place in the table.
Some fans were a bit emotional at the end of the game, probably because they were upset about only three points being scored, and they disagreed with head coach Xie Hui's personnel choices and got into arguments with others on the field.
After the game, Shea told club executives that he too was frustrated with the three points he failed to get. He was also excited when people questioned his use of the Mamba. In fact, he has no intention to have any kind of conflict with Dalian fans. He has always been very grateful to the Dalian fans for their support, so he felt very guilty.
The club said that the next few days will communicate with the relevant person in charge of the fans association, and reminded Xie Hui, as a coach, he not only has to bear the difficulties and pressures himself, but also to let the fans put forward different opinions, and learn to better listen to the voice of the fans. In fact, whether it is Xie Hui coach or Dalian fans, both sides of the initial purpose of the argument is to hope that Dalian soccer better, the starting point is the same. I believe that with the passage of time, these conflicts are not difficult to resolve after both sides calm down.
This year's results for Dalian Ren are not ideal, with only 1 win, 4 draws and 7 losses after 12 rounds of the Chinese Super League, ranking last in the Super League with 7 points. Although it is only 2 points away from 13th-ranked Meizhou Hakka, the relegation alarm has sounded early.
From the Dalian People's match against Beijing Guoan, the whole team's belief and determination is different from the previous matches, which may be related to the condolences and encouragement from the leaders of the Dalian Football Leadership Group before the match. On the morning of the match between Dalian Ren and Beijing Guoan, Dalian leaders came to visit the team at the Dalian Ren base, expressing the supportive attitude of the municipal party committee and municipal government leaders towards the work of Xie Hui's head coach, as well as their concern for Dalian's record.
The concern of the city leaders was nothing less than a shot in the arm for the whole team. Even Manzocchi, who has been harshly criticized by the fans, performed well against Guoan and was even chosen as the official best player in the 12th round. After the match, many Chinese players said that Manzocchi's excellent performance against Guoan, not only because of his goals, but also the very obvious progress he made from holding the ball, stopping the ball, to heading shots, showed that the coaching staff has been helping him more carefully.
For Dalian People, changing coaches doesn't seem to be their top priority. The Dalian Football Reform Team and Dalian People's Club have no plans to change coaches for the time being. On the contrary, they also gave an objective evaluation of Xie Hui's work. Because of the inability to sign this year and the fact that three of last season's absolute mainstays have already left, this has brought obvious adverse consequences to the team, which in turn creates pressure that is visible to the naked eye.
Xie Hui is in his second season in charge of the Dalian Ren, and also his second season in charge of the Chinese Super League. In fact, for the current home-and-away system, this season should be considered Xie Hui's first season in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, Dalian People's Club believes that a young, passionate, responsible and diligent coach needs enough time and patience to grow together. After all, the change of the system will bring different challenges and opportunities.
According to the data, the running figures of the Darenians in the first phase of the 12 rounds of matches are not good. If the running stats can be further improved in the interval, perhaps the performance in the next phase of the game will improve.
