Dalian fan groups urgently called for fans to gather at the stadium to cheer for the team. This year's "Battle to Defend Dalian" has been staged earlier than in previous years, and Dalian has slipped into the relegation zone before the halfway point of the Chinese Super League. The Chinese Super League has not yet passed the halfway mark, but Dalian people have quietly slipped into the relegation zone. 28 May, Beijing time 19:35, Dalian people will be at home and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger to start a fierce battle. In this matchup, the identity of the enemy is not the key, the key lies in the self-breakthrough. The real opponent of Dalian people is themselves. Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are in the fifth place of the league with 15 points, while Dalian people have only 6 points and are in the second last place of the predicament.
Looking back at the history of the record, Dalian people and Zimmen Tigers played, the victory record is very few. Xie Hui has been coaching Dalian Ren for more than a season, and now there are calls for his dismissal. If they lose at home, Dalian People will lose four consecutive matches, which may be Xie Hui's farewell performance. Even if Xie Hui leaves, the status quo of Dalian people is difficult to improve. With the lack of foreign aid and a thin lineup, replacing the coach may be the only way to turn the situation around.
From the confidence of the beginning of the season to the positive response of the last game, Xie Hui's mentality has quietly changed, and began to face up to the embarrassing situation of the Dalian people in the Chinese Super League. Facing the Jinmen Tigers, Dalian people are bound to win, which will be the key battle. The next opponents, Shandong Taishan, Wuhan Sanzhen and Beijing Guoan, are not bad, can Dalian people seize the opportunity? I'm afraid that every point is earned, so the battle of the Jinmen Tigers is the best chance for Dalian people, a win can be a respite, but defeat may completely fall into the abyss, relegation is imminent.
Yu Genwei won't let go easily in this battle of mid-generation coaches, and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are in good form this season, aiming for more than mid-table. Dalian is in the relegation zone and everyone wants to step on it, but Dalian is the easiest team to get three points. With only one win in their last five matches, Jinmen Tigers are in a bottleneck. If they can beat Dalian Ren, they may be able to secure the top four and regain their competitive form. Beric's return from injury will also provide replacement support for the team.
Can center forward Manzocchi's performance turn things around? Although he has scored two goals, he mainly relies on luck and his other contributions are limited. Xie Hui can only let go of Manzocchi and reintroduce Yan Xianggong as a striker. Dalian need to regain their confidence and dare to go head-to-head with the Jinmen Tigers, which may lead to a pleasant surprise. Zhang Chong's mistake in the last game, as a veteran of the team, his performance once again let down the fans, may also be temporarily frozen.
Wu Shang was included in the big list in the last round of matches, showing that he is in good physical condition and is expected to return in this round of matches. Dalian people in the most critical relegation juncture, fate is not in the hands of others, the whole team needs to go all out. In the Chinese Super League, Dalian people do not have foreign aid, can not hope that the opponent "water". Other relegation opponents in this round should not be underestimated, Henan against Shanghai Shenhua, Cangzhou Lions against Wuhan Sanzhen, Nantong Yun against Chengdu Chengdu, all of them are not bad. If Dalian can win in this round, it may end the relegation crisis.
