As night fell, the Dalian People's Football Team hosted Beijing Guoan in a surprising 2-2 draw on the 9th. Before the match, almost no one expected such a result. Dalian fans watching the game had mixed feelings, disappointed with the ending of only three points, and quite critical of head coach Xie Hui's lineup configuration, and there was even an argument at the end of the game.
After the match, Xie Hui confided in the club's senior management that he was equally disappointed at not being able to win all three points. Facing the coach who questioned his use of Mamba, Xie Hui was in high spirits, emphasizing that he had no intention to clash with the fans and was always grateful. He knew that the support of the fans was his motivation to move forward, so the guilt inside him became heavier and heavier.
Club executives said they will communicate with the fans association in the coming days and reminded Coach Xie Hui that as the team leader, he not only has to face the pressure alone, but also learn to listen to different opinions. After all, both coaches and fans want the team to go to the next level. I believe that with the passage of time, both sides of the emotions calmed down, these conflicts will be resolved.
Dalian People's performance this season is not satisfactory, after 12 rounds of the Chinese Super League only won 1, 4 draws and 7 losses, 7 points in the bottom of the first. Although there is only a 2-point difference with the 13th-ranked Meizhou Hakka, the risk of relegation is approaching.
However, in the match against Beijing Guoan, the Dalian Ren team showed unprecedented faith and determination, which seemed to be due to the encouragement and support given by the soccer leadership team before the match. One day before the match, the leaders personally visited the Dalian Ren base to console the team, expressing their support for Coach Xie Hui's work and their concern for the team's performance.
The care of the leaders has certainly given the team a boost. Even Manzocchi, who was criticized by the fans, performed well in the game and was even chosen as the official best player. After the game, many players said that Manzocchi had improved significantly in the game against Guoan, and the coaching team's careful guidance to him was a great credit.
For the Dalian People's team, replacing the coach is not a top priority. The Dalian Football Reform Team and Dalian People's Club have no plans to change the coach for the time being, but instead have objectively evaluated Xie Hui's work. After all, the team's inability to sign signings this year and the fact that three of last season's starters have left the team has had a noticeable impact.
Xie Hui's second season in charge of the Dalian People is also his second season in charge of the Chinese Super League. In fact, for the current home and away system, this season can be considered as Xie Hui's first season in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, Dalian People Club believes that this young, passionate, responsible and diligent coach needs enough time and patience to grow together. After all, the change in the playing system will bring new challenges and opportunities.
The stats show that the Daredevils' running stats are not as good as they should be in the first phase of the 12 rounds of the competition. If the running stats can be improved in the interval, perhaps the performance in the next phase of the game will be improved.
