Undoubtedly, there is only one belief in the hearts of Dalian fans - to hold on to the Chinese Super League. Some people optimistically predict that even if they are relegated, they can still make a comeback with their strength. However, such a fantasy is too naive. Who can guarantee that Dalian's lineup will be able to make a comeback in the Super League once they fall into the first division? The competition in the first division is equally brutal. At present, after nine rounds of fighting, Guangxi Pingguo is leading the way, followed by Qingdao West Coast, Nanjing City and Sichuan Jiuniu in third place, while Suzhou Dongwu, Jinan Xingzhou and Yanbian Longding have the same 15 points.
For Dalian, it's really unknown whether they can secure a top two spot in the Central League. If they really have the strength, then they should put all their energy into the relegation battle in the Chinese Super League! For the current Dalian team, the lack of funds is undoubtedly the fatal injury. Although fans are concerned about the team, they have to face this cruel reality. Otherwise, core players such as Sun Guowen, Dong Yanfeng and Tong Lei might have left for other countries. If the team continues to move forward, Wang Jinxian and Tao Qianglong can not escape the fate of leaving the team. It's not easy for Lin Liangming to stay in the team this year, but if they get relegated, I'm afraid there will no longer be a place for him in the Central League.
Some fans questioned this, "If we get relegated, do we not support the team? Can't you play soccer if you don't have money?" Of course, the team also has the idea of supporting relegation. The point to be made here is that the remaining 18 rounds of the Chinese Super League cannot be easily given up. "Play like a bear and get relegated!" If you hold this thought, then the door to the Chinese Super League will be closed to you. Dalian has strong players such as Mu Xiekui, Wang Jinxian, Wang Wanpeng, Wen Feng, Jin Gang and Sun Platinum. Have they lived in China A for three years just to overtake them?
Dalian People's Club firmly supports Xie Hui and gives objective evaluation to his work. Currently, the club has not changed the coach, but this does not mean "unlimited tolerance"! The reason for this is that, with or without funds, a coaching change is only natural if the team achieves 11 wins. Last year, Xie Hui led the team to early relegation, and the club to ride out the storm. The spirit of "suppression" deserves to be recognized, and the club has given Xie Hui more time. However, not changing coaches for the time being doesn't mean it will stay the same forever. Winning is the hard way!
Before a coaching change is considered, the city leaders and the club will of course support the head coach in order to "calm" the troops and prevent confusion. The fact that Xie Hui felt "very guilty" about the argument with the fans after the match shows that he finally realized that it was unnecessary. The club's senior management also reminded Xie Hui that "as a manager, in the face of difficulties and pressure, we not only have to bear the burden ourselves, but also have to listen to the fans' voices and learn to communicate with them."
Can Xie Hui be brave enough to confront the Shanghai fans? The answer is obviously no. The small dispute with the Dalian fans can be solved, but it is not the key to the problem. Winning the game is the priority, everything else is empty talk. If you win, everyone will be happy; if you lose, the conflict will escalate. It's no exaggeration to say that Xie Hui's position is in jeopardy! Which club will always support a coach who can't win? In the 13th round of the Chinese Super League, Dalian People will face Wuhan Sanzhen on the road, Qingdao Hainiu at home in the 14th round, and Shanghai Harbor on the road in the 15th round.
In the 13th and 14th rounds, Dalian people are away to challenge the defending champion Wuhan Sanzhen and Shanghai Hainiu, the situation is not optimistic. In between, there is a home match against promotion rivals and relegation direct rivals Qingdao Hainiu. At that time, Dalian People will usher in a life-and-death battle worth 6 points for relegation at the Barracuda Bay Professional Soccer Stadium in Dalian! If Dalian Ren lose again, they will continue to be at the bottom of the table and the pressure of relegation will increase further. At that time, the possibility of Xie Hui's dismissal will not be ignored.
