On October 30th, Dalian Yingbo will face off with Shanghai Jiading Huilong in the final chapter of the Central League. With a win in hand, Dalian Yingbo is expected to climb to a higher level as the league's runner-up. According to Oriental Sports Daily, celebrations are already underway, but the team is aware of the difficulty of preparing for the match and the pressure that remains.
As the dust settles in the 29th round of the league, the pattern of the Super League is becoming clearer. Yingbo is sitting pretty in a fishing boat, while Guangzhou still has a chance to survive. In case of an unfortunate defeat, Guangzhou will need to win in order to reverse their points and rankings; in case of a draw, Guangzhou will also need to win in order to overturn their position by a margin of victory. Although Imbo has the advantage, the challenge is still tough and the only way out is to fight for a win.
Pressure and motivation are intertwined, and the field of play is in a state of flux. Fans all over the city were eagerly waiting for the tickets, which went on sale at 2:00 p.m. on the 29th, and were snapped up within 3 minutes. It is predicted that the number of spectators for this match will refresh the record of 56,595 set by Yingbo in mid-September, becoming the largest number of spectators for a professional league match this season. With the dawn of the Chinese Super League on the horizon, preparations for the celebration are in full swing and fan organizations are actively involved, with the East, South and North stands linking up for a spectacular spectacle.
Head Coach Li Guoxu gave an in-depth analysis of the current situation in the team meeting, using statistics as evidence. He pointed out that the Yingbo team's good performance stems from the team's pressing and defense. Despite the solid defense, the offensive end was slightly lacking, which reflects the team's overall style. Li Guoxu emphasized that Shanghai Jiading Huilong's defense is strong and the number of goals conceded is the third lowest in the Chinese League. In this game, the opponent must strengthen the defense. Breaking the opponent's tight defense will be the key to win or lose the game. At the same time, he asked the players to keep confidence and respond to the challenge positively.
It is not easy for the team to achieve the present result after a lot of difficulties. However, the victory is not the end of the road, the team still needs to prepare for the challenge in detail. Li Guoxu pointed out that the game will be extremely difficult and the coaching team needs to prepare a good strategy to deal with it. With adequate preparation, the players will be able to stay calm and win in the end.
