Renowned media personality Li Xuan exclaimed, "Chengdu's success in reaching the Super League is indeed a cause for celebration! However, for Dalian soccer, the heart can't help but feel a lot of emotions."
Journalist Rumi wrote: "That kind of unspeakable emotion really touches people to the core, and warmly welcome Chengdu's victory!"
Media personality Xu Jiang said, "Dalian, why were they relegated? My mind is a mess! For Dalian fans, this winter is exceptionally cold! Alas, a sigh of relief ......"
Reporter Yuan Ye pointed out in his analysis: "When Liaozhu was relegated from the Chinese Super League, fans had hoped that the team could survive, but ultimately Liaozhu still came to an end. Now, Dalian soccer is again faced with such a choice, whether it is tough to survive, or let the city of soccer from now on to lose the figure of soccer."
Media personality Ran Xiongfei commented, "Dalian's relegation is certainly regrettable, but it also seems to be an inevitable outcome. The team's overall mood spiraled out of control after the first of two play-off matches against Chengdu Rongcheng, leading to a rare penalty in Chinese Super League history. Although Dalian pulled themselves together and gave it their all in the second leg, bad luck and an oops goal by Danielson relegated Dalian to the Central League. Failure to capitalize on the first leg draw and bad luck in the second leg is no cause for complaint. Congratulations to Chengdu for their success in the Super League, but sorry for the relegation of Dalian, a strong Chinese Super League team. In my opinion, the main reason for Dalian's relegation is that coach Jose lacked control over the team and should have been dismissed after scoring only seven points in the first half of the season. Although the team has improved in the second half of the season, the team has made mistakes in the key games, coupled with injuries to foreign players, bad luck at key moments, and the appearance of oolongs can only make the Dalian fans sigh 'the sky is going to destroy the company'! I wonder if Dalian, relegated once again, will be able to welcome a savior? Wang Jianlin's exit after the Chinese Super League's gender name reform seems to be a foregone conclusion. Without the financial support, Dalian team is afraid to go Liaoning and Shenyang team's back road, is the economic strength of the weak Liaoning soccer really want to be completely destroyed?"
Media personality Pan Weili said, "I truly believe that Dalian and Qingdao fans don't need to be overly sad. The general environment in the past two years has not been much better for the Chinese Super League than the Chinese A League, and it has even suffered greater disruptions. Especially in the 2021 season, the Chinese League A became the most standardized and perfect league, while the Chinese Super League almost became the worst season ever because of the epidemic, national team matches and unpaid wages. In the foreseeable 2022 season, the situation of the Chinese Super League will not improve much, and there is not much difference between playing in the Chinese Super League or the Chinese League A in this year."
Lin Benjian lamented, "It is really regrettable that Dalian soccer has been relegated once again! In the last 10 years, Dalian soccer has been in a downturn, with a serious talent gap."
Zhao Zhen, a media personality, said, "In the next month, the most concerned issue for Dalian fans may no longer be their home team, but the survival of Hebei. After all, the survival of Hebei is related to whether Dalian can survive."
