Peninsula Morning Post's in-depth analysis shows that Dalian soccer team is standing on the cusp of relegation after the 28th round of Chinese Super League battle. In a twist, the writer boldly predicts that the two ensuing matchups will be an even tougher test for Dalian.
Hosting Wuhan Sanzhen, Dalian's path to relegation was overshadowed by a 1-3 defeat. Fortunately, Nantong Zhiyun was not spared either, losing 0-1 to Shanghai Shenhua, and continue to follow Dalian. As the league comes to an end, with only the last two rounds remaining, Dalian is only a hair's breadth ahead of the relegation zone.
Lianhua media keenly observed that Dalian miraculously retained the bottom three position in the Chinese Super League and still holds the initiative of relegation in their hands. In the last two rounds, Nantong Zhiyun will meet Meizhou Hakka and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, while Dalian's opponents are Qingdao Hainiu and Shanghai Harbor. On paper, Dalian's opponents seem to be stronger. However, in a game of life and death, these small differences are no longer important. At the moment, everything has nothing to do with the result of the game, the only thing you can do is to go all out and leave no room for error.
