As the National Day holiday was coming to an end, the Dalian Football Association issued an announcement as if to summarize the two recent losses and called on fans to watch the games rationally and calmly.
There is a thought-provoking paragraph in the announcement: We fully understand that the fans are in a low mood due to disappointment, and that they are deeply in love and deeply in blame. It makes sense that fans would be saddened by an unsatisfactory result, criticizing and cursing. We all want to succeed, but the charm of sporting events lies in the unpredictability of their results. Dalian People is a low ranking team in the Chinese Super League in terms of both strength and investment, and its pre-match goal was just to survive relegation and show good spirit and best competitive condition. After all, we are a "new army" of the Central League, exploring the removal of the evils of the golden dollar soccer, the recent introduction of a number of new players in a measured manner, is accelerating the completion of the integration period, the results of the ups and downs are normal.
Dalian people's performance this season, for the city can be said to be amazing, so every home field is exceptionally hot, even if the weather is cold, the stadium is far away can not stop the enthusiasm of the fans. This passion has touched the hearts of the Dalian Municipal Government, the Municipal Football Reform Team, the Municipal Sports Bureau, the Municipal Football Association and the Dalian People's Club. For them, the mood and feelings of the fans touch their nerves, but also a deep understanding of the team's performance in the fans and even the significance of the city. October 9 evening, Dalian people will usher in the strong rival Chengdu Chengdu Rongcheng, the duel who wins and who loses, no one can predict. Therefore, the Dalian Football Association hopes to cool down the mood of the fans before the match, and also expects to reduce the pressure on the team.
However, the fact that the relevant departments can not just let the fans to remain patient, at the same time, but also to give hope - the results, although temporarily less than ideal, but must let the fans see the hope of improvement. "We are not unable to accept the team lost, itself we are not the top team in the Chinese Super League, just, we have a lot of regrets ......" a senior Dalian fans say so. What exactly are their regrets? There are at least three.
Can Dalian soccer lose? Can, because Dalian fans understand the game, as long as the fight spirit and momentum, win or lose love this team. "But these two games lost wimpy, obviously from the past to be able to pressure to play, these two games are being pressed to play." A fan watching the game at the scene complained.
"Just press to play" from the beginning of the season has become this Dalian team can not be ignored on the label, the fans are also used to seeing their own home team, whether it is to face seaport, Luneng, these champions are also not inferior posture. However, when facing the Jinmen Tigers, they wilted.
Why do Dalian fans, and even many Chinese fans, love to watch Coach Xie Hui's "just press and play"? Because this kind of tactic is like releasing all the feelings that we have been suppressed by the epidemic all these years, as well as the pace that Chinese soccer has been confined. The baptism and test that the city of Dalian has gone through, it is difficult for those who have not lived here and experienced it to empathize with it. The reason why we love or worship that no big names, on the pressure to play the Dalian people's team, is because the team, mapping their past, full of everyone's hopes for the future.
"Idols are in fact the spokespersons through which countless worshippers satisfy their sense of self-identity, and thus an idol's performance is essentially the worshipper's inner self singing or dancing." When talking about popular idols, Prof. Wang Defeng of Fudan University once said this.
Rather than fans not being happy to face a downturn in results, they are not happy to look back on that wasted past, as well as, the Dahlians' pressing out to reflect a determination to challenge the future.
Therefore, the Dalian Football Association can only persuade, and the pressure, all on the management, coaching staff and the team.
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, "The way up and the way down are often the same way." Right now, the Dallians are stuck in the in-and-out phase. "In order to explore the evils of golden dollar soccer, and bring in some new players within their means," the brutal value of the process of de-goldenization, as seen in other teams, is gradually emerging. Compared with the weakness of most teams after the fading of the golden dollar soccer, Dalian soccer has given the fans unlimited expectations and fantasies, which are now in danger of being disillusioned again, and the fans have made an appeal. But fans can't ignore the fact that if you want to build two formations that can play a full season, it seems unrealistic not to pay a certain value for the results. If the value is too great, someone must be "responsible" for it.
The family is no place for grandstanding, and the same applies when it comes to the club and the fans; reason and thought are for the team, emotion and love are the prerogative of the fans.
Dalian fans is a special group of Chinese fans collectively, once stood in the highest peak of the professional league, also had a long time hovering in the trough. A batch of investors who came and went, left slogans, left memories, and even left fantasies, only no one left such a promise - "with us, Dalian soccer will certainly be good." Although the current management does not dare to make such a promise, but at least, the responsibility and commitment of state-owned enterprises, will make this Dalian people club more pro-people than ever.
Just as when something goes wrong, no one shrugs it off first, but instead faces it positively and looks for a solution.
Dalian began to cool down before the game against the Jinmen Tigers, and the wind was biting on the day of the game, but even so, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the home fans, as the announcement said, "only with deep love can you reproach".
All the fans involved were expecting the foreigners to have found their form and the Darenians to be able to pick up a win with their familiar pressing tactics, but surprisingly, it was a woeful two-strikes-and-you're-defeated streak.
Of the players who joined during the second turnaround, three foreigners and one inside backer were controversial, except for Lawless and Wu Nano, who achieved recognition.
People's questions are: if you know that the level of cheap foreign aid is not good enough, why do you still want to buy; why do you not adhere to the tactics of playing under pressure when you have a full Chinese class, and add foreign aid, but it is a self-defeating tactic; if you know that the funds for attracting foreign aid are limited, why can't you buy two fewer to ensure the quality; and whether the attraction of foreign aid is the will of the governor or the opinion of the manager, Mr. Xie Hui?
Regardless of the consolation, the storm of doubt will escalate as long as the management fails to face up to a couple of major questions and the foreigners fail to perform as they should.
Reporters through a large number of interviews, trying to unveil the answers to the relevant questions, may not represent the whole truth, but more or less able to provide some basis for judgment.
At the beginning of the year, the Dalian people from coach recruitment to player selection, go through the process of social recruitment of state-owned enterprises. Public recruitment advertisements, the requirement to participate in the bidding of coaches or players to submit their resumes and then also self-promotion, established coaches and players are involved in open competition and the risk of being eliminated.
It can be said that from the beginning, Dalian people want to take a different path of exploration with the past, in the head coach Xie Hui's best efforts did do it, to a cadre of other teams do not see the players, into a star. Therefore, in the selection criteria of internal and external assistance, price and seniority is not the first element, rather than looking at the actual quality, they are more happy to Taobao, pluck some potential shares to cultivate their own. As long as there is strength, whether amateur or semi-professional players, give them a chance to advance to the task force stage, which is also a feat of the Dalian People's Club, although these players did not stay, but the club did not lose anything as a result.
After Dalian released the first poster for the introduction of players, fans left comments asking if this was going to be a U37 team and a late night disco.
And the result? We all saw it. Yan Xiangguan, Zhu Ting, Fei Yu, Shang Yin, all played at a level, so the doubt of buying them knowing that the quality is not good enough is not valid, and the form that the Dalian people rely on is the remodeling, all of which relies on Xie Hui's wonderful hands. Most of the players everyone favors go over the budgeted amount and don't fit.
After losing to the Jinmen Tigers, Xie Hui confessed that it is not that he does not want to adhere to the tactics of pressure, but the reason why this set of tactics seems to be skillful and fluent is entirely based on the condition that there is a full three-month period of bonding and rare warm-up matches to make a pavement, and the foreign aiders have just arrived, and it is not possible to have this tacit understanding right away, and it takes time. In fact, he is difficult to say is that the Dalian People's Club does not have the ability to buy plug-and-play, or according to their own tactical needs of the players. It can only buy what it can get, and then integrate them according to the players' characteristics.
In the past, the concept of a good foreign aid is a person to deal with the battle, but such a foreign aid are not expensive, or need to be carefully selected at all times, and the Dalian people do not have this capital, due to their attraction of reinforcement window is very uncertain, and even at that time can not be opened are not good to say. There aren't that many suitable players willing to wait for Dalian people, so this directly leads to the range of foreign aid available to Dalian people to narrow again.
As for like Cangzhou, buy two less, for a big killer like Kanter, but Kanter's price, the transfer market is 1.4 million euros; Dalian people foreign aid price, Tesonev, Mamba, Bosanjic and Manzocchi combined, only a little higher than Kanter. In addition, Cangzhou original foreign aid, and Dalian people tactical system has many loopholes, the number of players needed is more, regardless of the level, the position can not be vacant, there must be a rotation, which is the most basic.
Therefore, Dalian people to supplement the foreign aid must pay attention to the number, and then only on the basis of merit, in fact, the Dalian people's batch of foreign aid, the pay level is the average of the Dalian people's main pay, and some of the big team's replacement can not be compared. In a particularly limited
