On October 30th, Dalian Yingbo welcomed Shanghai Jiading Huilong in the final match of the Central League. A victory would mean that they would jump up to the first division as the vice-chairman and move on to a new journey. Oriental Sports Daily prepared a cake in advance for Yingbo to celebrate the victory, but the team knew that preparation for the game was the top priority, and the pressure followed them.
As the 29th round of the league came to an end, the situation of the Super League is becoming clearer and clearer. Yingbo is taking the initiative, while Guangzhou still has a chance to survive. In case of an unfortunate defeat, Guangzhou will need to overcome their opponents and complete their comeback with better points and rankings; if the two teams shake hands, Guangzhou will also need to overcome their opponents and turn the tables with a win-loss record. Although Imbo has a clear advantage, the pressure is still on them, so they have to go all out to secure the three points.
Pressure and motivation are intertwined, and the atmosphere of the game is becoming more and more tense. Dalian fans were eagerly awaiting the game, and at 2:00pm on the 29th, tickets went on sale and were sold out within 3 minutes. It is predicted that the number of spectators for this match will break the record of 56,595 set by Yingbo in mid-September and become a new standard for the number of spectators in this season's professional league. Celebrations have been quietly kicking off for the upcoming Super League extravaganza at Imbo FC. Major fan organizations have been busy, and on match day, the East, South and North Stands will present a linked spectacle.
Head Coach Li Guoxu used data analysis to analyze the situation for his players during the team meeting. He emphasized that Yingbo's success was due to the team's pressure and defense. Despite the leading defense statistics, the offense and individual performance still need to be strengthened. Li Guoxu pointed out that Shanghai Jiading Huilong's defense is not to be underestimated, and the number of goals conceded is the third lowest in Central League. In this match, they will definitely strengthen their defense. How to crack the opponent will be the key to win or lose the game. At the same time, Li Guoxu asked the players to keep confidence and respond positively.
It is not easy for Imbo to achieve good results in the face of many difficulties. However, this is not the time to relax, the team still needs to prepare for the game. Li Guoxu pointed out that the game will be extremely difficult and the coaching team needs to make a good plan to deal with it. As long as they are well-prepared, the players will be able to stay calm and win the game.
