Over the weekend of either Saturday, March 9 or Sunday, March 10, the focus turns to the first round of the China First Division, when Dalian Yingbo will embark on a journey that will take them straight to the city of Yangcheng, where they will face off against Guangzhou, once a top Chinese Super League powerhouse. However, the team was on the verge of collapse due to a long history of financial fraud by its parent company, Evergrande Group, and it was the unwavering support of its fans that helped it to survive and register for the tournament. Currently, Guangzhou is expected to field a full Chinese squad of mainly young players.
Last year's season, Guangzhou set its home field at the historic Yuexiu Mountain Stadium, and the choice of home field for this season has yet to be finalized.
On March 16th (Saturday) or 17th (Sunday), the second round of the China First Division League will start again, and Dalian Yingbo will once again embark on an away trip to Pingguo Stadium to face Guangxi Pingguo. Despite leading the league last season, Guangxi Pingguo suddenly slowed down at the final stage, prompting speculation that it was giving up its chance to reach the Chinese Super League. At the same time, several Dalian players, including Zhao Xuri, chose to leave the team. In the new season, Guangxi Pingguo has introduced new foreign aid and introduced Hong Kong player Laureus, who used to play in Dalian, and there are also familiar faces such as Li Xuepeng and Shan Pengfei in the team's lineup.
In the third round of the league on Saturday, March 23rd or Sunday, March 24th, Dalian Yingbo will face Yanbian Longding in a Northeast derby. The highly anticipated match between the soccer city team and the soccer hometown team has yet to be finalized. If the match is not played in Yanbian, Dalian Yingbo will make their debut at their own professional soccer stadium in Barracuda Bay, Dalian. This beautiful stadium has successfully hosted matches for the national soccer team, the Olympics, and the Dalian team. The club has had in-depth communication with the manager of the Barracuda Bay Stadium and both sides are committed to revitalizing Dalian soccer and look forward to an all-encompassing partnership!
Let's all look forward to the surprises brought by Dalian Yingbo team, cheer for Dalian and wish good luck always!
