Dalian suffered heavy losses and suffered two consecutive defeats in half a day. They lost to Guangzhou City and Zhejiang Team 0-3 and 0-2 respectively. After the 9th round, the record changed from 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses to 1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses, and the ranking dropped to 13th in the Chinese Super League standings. The goal difference also changed from 0 to -7.
In the afternoon, Dalian people received bad news. In the 2-0 Guangzhou City match in the second round of the Chinese Super League, the results of the illegal use of U23 players came out. In the end, after a long period of deliberation, the Chinese Football Association decided to penalize the Dalian people to forfeit and lost to the Guangzhou City team 0-3. Since then, the Dalian native's record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses has become 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses. Since 2 goals in that game were canceled, they were also penalized and lost 3 goals to Guangzhou City. Therefore, in terms of goal difference, it is equal to 5 fewer goals in one mile and one outside. The ranking has also dropped from 11th to 13th in the standings, only 4 points ahead of the relegation zone.
Although, the Dalian people were deprived of 3 points. However, the fans are not discouraged. They believe that Xie Hui can lead the team and win more 3 points with the concept of "just press and play". Just after being punished for losing 0-3 to Guangzhou City, the Dalian natives had the opportunity to prove themselves. The ninth round of the Chinese Super League officially started at 18:30 in the afternoon. The Dalian native’s opponent was the newly promoted Zhejiang team. I don’t know if it was affected by the 0-3 loss. In the first few minutes of the game, the Dalian people did not show the momentum of "pressing down" when facing the Zhejiang team.
Since then, although the momentum has gradually increased and he once again showed the style of "playing with pressure", it has been unable to convert into goals. On the contrary, the Zhejiang team seized the opportunity. Mu Xiekui scored in the 25th minute of the game, and Dalian player Wang Xianjun scored an own goal in the 49th minute. In the end, after 90 minutes, the Zhejiang team 2-0 Dalian people celebrated their second consecutive victory. The Dalian people suffered two consecutive defeats in just half a day. Not only did they lose 6 points in a row, but their goal difference also changed from 0 to -7, which is somewhat regrettable.
However, fortunately, the Dalian people still showed the momentum of "playing with pressure" in this game. The ball possession rate in the whole game reached 55%, and the number of shots was 18-8, but the accuracy rate was low, with only 4 of 18 shots on target. Next, the second phase of the Chinese Super League will most likely get back on track and start a home and away game system. I hope Xie Hui can solve the last-minute problem well during the intermission. In that case, the future of Dalian people is still promising. Just like the fans said, although we were robbed of 3 points. However, we have the ability to win back more 3 points. Come on, Dalian people! Come on, Xie Hui!
