On October 30th, the highlight of the Central League was the battle between Dalian Yingbo and Shanghai Jiading Huilong. A victory would mean Dalian Yingbo would be crowned runners-up in the Central League and leapfrog to a higher league. According to Oriental Sports Daily, the club has already begun preparations for the celebration, but the team still needs to go all out, and the pressure to prepare for the game is unrelenting.
With the 29th round of the league coming to an end, the situation of the Super League is becoming clearer. Imbo is firmly in the driver's seat, while Guangzhou still has a chance of survival. In case of an unexpected loss, Guangzhou will need to beat their rivals in order to overtake them. Even if Yingbo draws with Shanghai Jiading Huilong, Guangzhou will need to win to complete the comeback with a win-loss advantage. Although Yingbo has a clear advantage, the pressure is huge and they can only go all out for the three points.
Pressure and motivation are intertwined and unpredictable. All Dalian fans are eagerly waiting for this summit match, and the tickets were sold out in just three minutes. The crowd is expected to break the record of 56,595 set by Yingbo in mid-September, making it the largest crowd in the professional league this season. Preparations are well underway for the celebrations as the club embarks on the challenge of the Chinese Super League, and fan organizations are responding positively to the spectacle that will unfold on match day as the three stands are linked together.
Head Coach Lee Kwok-wook gave an in-depth analysis of the data and explained the situation to the players in the team meeting. He pointed out that the team's good performance was due to its pressing defense, which was among the top in the Central League, but the offense and individual performances were yet to be improved. Li emphasized that Dalian Yingbo is a team that relies on teamwork, and this game will be no different. Facing the strict defense of Shanghai Jiading Huilong, how to break the enemy will be the key. He asked the players to keep confidence and respond positively.
It's not easy for Imbo to achieve this result in the face of many challenges. However, there is no room for relaxation at this moment, and the team still needs to prepare every detail carefully. Li Guoxu said that the game will be tough and the coaching team needs to make a good plan to deal with it. As long as they are well prepared, the players will not panic and the victory will come as expected.
