As early as the previous season, Dalian fans had anticipated the departures of Sun Guowen, Dong Yanfeng and Tong Lei. Lin Liangming's destination now hangs in the balance between Harbor, Shenhua and Guoan. Despite Dalian's unfortunate relegation, the players' enthusiasm has not diminished at all, which seems to confirm that the strength of this year's Dalian team is not to be underestimated, but just failed to give full play to. Although Xie Hui is still nominally the head coach of Dalian, he has not heard any rumors of dismissal, but he knows that he will not return to Dalian.
Chinese Super League teams are expected to open their assembly training at the end of this month, when Dalian players may appear on his team's training ground next week. If anyone leaves the team, there is no need to make a fuss. Currently, the Dalian people have not yet finalized the winter training schedule, but certainly not earlier than the access information announced. Players such as He Yupeng, Wang Xianjun and Huang Jiahui are also favored by other teams. After all, who wants to struggle in the Central League? In the face of the current situation of the Dalian people, even if the access is successful, whether it can rise again is still a question mark.
There is no shortage of highly paid players in Dalian, and with Shan Huanhuan spending two-thirds of his four-year career recovering from injuries, high salaries have become a burden on the team. Numerous historical problems have become the key factors hindering the development of Dalian team. Preparing for the Central League, Dalian's top priority is to find a new manager, followed by trying to secure veteran contracts, and finally bringing in two foreign aiders in the winter transfer window. Facing the challenges of the Central League, the primary goal of the new season is to avoid relegation, otherwise the team's development prospects are worrying.
