In the arena, many factors are intertwined into a complex picture. Many tournaments for some reason can not start three foreign aid lineup, which undoubtedly brought considerable fluctuations in the performance.
However, the power of unity within Soccer City cannot be underestimated, with all the players working together with one mind. The core members of the management team - investor Wang Kui, general manager Chen Dong and first team head coach Li Guoxu - worked closely together in their respective roles. With unremitting efforts and a little bit of luck, Dalian Yingbo's record far exceeded expectations and ranked second with 54 points, 5 points away from Guangzhou.
It looks like Dalian Yingbo has firmly stepped into the threshold of the Chinese Super League, but the Guangzhou team still holds two major treasures, the suspense is still there.
First of all, Guangzhou has a slightly better record against other teams and could be in a favorable position if the points are equal. Furthermore, their schedule is relatively favorable. In the last two rounds, they will host Yanbian Longding and then challenge Nanjing City on the road. Both teams have 31 points and are in the 9th and 10th places in the table, they have completed the relegation task and lack the motivation to compete. Guangzhou seems to be on the verge of gaining six points if they win all their matches. In contrast, Dalian Yingbo will have to challenge Yunnan Yukun on the road in the 29th round and face Shanghai Jiading Huilong in the final round at the Barracuda Bay Professional Soccer Stadium in Dalian.
Yunnan Yukun is stronger than Dalian Yibo, and with the advantage of the last home game of the season, playing at the plateau will give them an added boost. Therefore, it is not easy for Dalian Yibo to get points on the road. If they can't get points from the plateau, they must beat Shanghai Jiading Huilong at home in the last round. As long as they get one point, they should at least make sure they are undefeated in the final round. The expectation of the hometown fans will be a motivation, but it may also bring great pressure to the players.
For Dalian, keeping a low profile and adjusting the mindset is a priority for both the club and the fans. After the success of sister team Dalian Kuncheng in reaching the first division, we expect Dalian Yingbo to reach their goal as well. Go Dalian! May good luck always be with Dalian!
