Although Dalian Yingbo Club has not openly voiced its pursuit of promotion, it has revealed that it will take three to five years to carefully prepare for its plan to reach the Super League. In other words, they believe that the current time has not yet come, the super is still too early, the only way to do a good job of all the preparations, in order to achieve the goal of the water to the channel. So, are they not aspiring to be super, or are they just playing with words?
The truth is that their minds have long been hidden in their actions. Why do you say that? The list of reinforcements in the summer transfer window reveals their ambitious ambitions. If they didn't need to upgrade, why would they bring in such powerful players as Zhao Mingjian, Karanga and Zhou Yuande? Karanga, in particular, was an invincible player in the Chinese Super League, earning more than three times the salary of out-of-contract striker Embalo. This investment was not in vain and they are on their way to surpassing it. The fact that the Dalian executives involved are on hand for every game certainly signals their determination to go beyond!
Huang Qiang, talking about sports, pointed out that if the Chinese Super League team wants to survive, there will be five or six upgrading opportunities this year. Some teams are in a hurry and investing heavily; some are waiting for the right opportunity; while some, such as Dalian Yingbo, have not explicitly said they are beyond that, but have already silently laid out their plans in the three to five year plan. The heavyweight players they brought in during the summer transfer window, especially Karanga, have dramatically improved the team's overall strength. If they weren't going beyond, why would they have spent so much money on such high-level players? All of this reveals their strong ambition to upgrade.
