After 10 rounds of fierce battles, Dalian People's record is 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, unfortunately falling into the bottom of the table. Although it is not much different from the same period last year when the team won 1, drew 4 and lost 5 in the first 10 rounds, the team's overall momentum has obviously declined, and compared to the past, the pressure on the opponents has weakened dramatically.
Exploring the reasons, I personally believe that the main blame is attributed to the following three aspects, and these problems are not related to Xie Hui's coaching talent. First of all, the team's strength is not advancing but retreating. This season, Sun Guowen, Tong Lei, Dong Yanfeng and other core players have left the team, the team lineup has not been effectively supplemented. The first team only increased two young players, they lack of experience in the top league, temporarily unable to assume the responsibility. The club has not introduced any reinforcements, and the veterans or rookies on the bench cannot provide strong support. Secondly, the performance of foreigners is mediocre. Tesonev has performed reasonably well, but other foreigners such as Mamba and Manzocchi do not have significant characteristics and their contribution to the team is limited. As strikers, they are not good enough in terms of impact, technique and experience and awareness, and their strength is comparable to local players. In fact, the overall strength of the team has significantly declined compared to last season. Furthermore, the strength of the opponents is constantly rising. Last season, the strength of many teams was damaged by the shortage of personnel, such as Hebei and Guangzhou teams, the team lineup is mostly old and weak. This season, the strength of each team's lineup has been greatly improved, but Dalian people have not been able to benefit from it. The gap between Dalian and their rivals is widening, and the current ranking is not optimistic. In addition, the team's morale is low. Last season, Dalian Ren returned to the Chinese Super League with high morale. However, this season, the team's morale is greatly reduced, and the players' fighting spirit is obviously not as good as before. As the old saying goes, "When you're out of strength, you're out of energy." In order for a team to maintain high morale, it must be motivated through various means. For professional players, spiritual encouragement is important, but material protection is also indispensable. However, due to the club's financial problems, it is difficult to guarantee the payment of players' wages, which further undermines morale. In order to revitalize the team, these problems need to be solved by the club. As the head coach, Xie Hui is not able to do anything because he is not the manager or investor of the club. Careful fans will notice that Xie Hui's mood fluctuates a lot off the field this season, and his facial expressions are no longer abundant. Although he has become more calm, he is obviously unable to lead the team to play like last season.
