17:30, August 6, an ups and downs of the 11th round of the Chinese Super League kicked off at the Puwan Stadium in Dalian, Dalian People's and Shanghai Seaport's highly anticipated matchup.
Dalian's position is unstable
Halfway through the Chinese Super League (CSL) schedule, Dalian People only accumulated 7 points in the first 10 rounds, ranking 14th. The team has been in a slump recently, failing to win the last three matches in Haikou and suffering two consecutive defeats. Dalian's skipper Xie Hui is suspended for two yellows, and core players Fei Yu and Sun Guowen are out of action due to injuries or suspensions, so Dalian is facing a serious shortage of players. However, the presence of more than 20,000 Dalian fans may bring a little comfort to the team.
Shanghai Seaport's foreign aid departs
Shanghai seaport is also full of problems, Oscar, Muy and other key foreign players left the team, the team's strength is damaged. Despite the strength of players such as Karon and Li Shuai, their chances of making their debut are slim. Seaport is currently 12 points behind leader Sanzhen, and has little hope of winning the championship.
In the pre-match press conference, Dalian Ren player Chang Lin said, "After a few days of rest and recuperation, the team has recovered its form, and tomorrow is the first home game after the recovery of home and away, we are very much looking forward to the support of the fans." And Shanghai Seaport coach Leko also said, "The players were able to relax during the break and we will do our best to prepare for the second phase of the game."
