The Peninsula Morning Post takes an in-depth look at Dalian's struggles in the 28th round of the Chinese Super League, noting that the team is in a fierce battle for relegation. One commentator pointed out that Dalian's next two matches are particularly tricky against relegation rivals Nantong Zhiyun.
In a home matchup, Dalian was unlucky to lose 1-3 to Wuhan Sanzhen, a result that puts them out of the relegation race. Fortunately for Nantong Zhiyun, they were also unable to escape defeat, losing 0-1 to Shanghai Shenhua, and remain right behind Dalian. As the league draws to a close, with only the last two rounds remaining, Dalian are hanging on to the edge of the relegation zone with only a slim lead.
In response, Lianhua media said that Dalian's initiative is still firmly in their hands even though they have retained their position in the bottom three of the Chinese Super League. In the upcoming last two rounds of matches, Nantong Zhiyun will usher in the challenge of Meizhou Hakka and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, while Dalian People's Team faces Qingdao Hainiu and Shanghai Harbor. Analyzing the strength of the opponents, the game is undoubtedly more difficult for Dalian. However, in this life-and-death battle, all the nuances are irrelevant. At this moment, the only thing to do is to go all out and try your best.
