Why did Li Xuan and other media outlets portray the "fall of the laurel" as a "major event"? I'm afraid it has something to do with the unusual times in the city of Dalian, especially the deep quagmire faced by Dalian soccer. The exit of Wanda Sports has left Dalian soccer without a helmsman. Despite the fact that Wang Jianlin completed the trusteeship of the Sports Industry Group and promised operating funds, and even hired the famous Xie Hui, the deadline for Dalian soccer's return to the Chinese Super League remains a mystery, and it is not even known if it can return.
However, the dissolution of the Chongqing team brought a turnaround for Dalian soccer, and a few months later, Dalian people once again entered the Chinese Super League. Under Xie Hui's "pressure" tactics, the Dalianites miraculously finished the relegation task, even though it was not a pleasant one.
However, behind this seeming prosperity, Dalian soccer's debt crisis, locker room conflicts and FIFA's ban have plunged the team into unprecedented difficulties. Falling from the peak to the trough, Dalian soccer's situation is getting tougher and tougher.
In the midst of this predicament, Mr. Z, who has been running around for the club, was rumored to have been taken away, sparking an embarrassing storm. Although Mr. G is still running around for Dalian soccer, the spreading of the rumor has certainly cast a shadow over the team's prospects.
Some fans may think that the strength of Dalian soccer originally belongs to the Central League, playing two years of the Chinese Super League is already earned. But if you hold this idea, I'm afraid it's a big mistake. First of all, the club's huge debt problem has not yet been solved, and it is still unknown whether the team will be disbanded and quit after relegation. In addition, Dalian's young players could be poached by youth training organizations and agents from other countries, which poses a threat to the foundation of the soccer city.
As for Dalian Zhixing, it is currently in a worrying situation due to its investor, the Shanhai Group. Even though the state-owned company has invested in the club over the past two years, entry into the Chinese Super League remains elusive.
Dalian soccer through thick and thin, every Dalian fans have explained to the national fans. But where exactly is the future of Dalian soccer? I'm afraid no one can give a definite answer.
