In the first round of the Relegation Group of the Chinese Super League held yesterday, Dalian Renren won the opening of the relegation group game with a small victory over Henan Songshan Longmen with Larson's goal. While the offensive line is in good shape, the team's defensive end is also doing a better job, of which the growth of Dong Yanyi makes Dalian fans the happiest.
In the 2014 season, the just 18-year-old Dong Yanfeng ushered in the first game for the first team. In the following seasons, Dong Yanyi, who was a striker, was gradually transformed into a full-back, and his playing time increased year by year. After the team rushed to the top, with the arrival of Schuster, a large number of young players were promoted. In the center-back position, Wang Yaopeng took the lead in becoming the main force, and under the leadership of Fonte, he gradually became the main center-back of the team and played well in the game, while Dong Yanfeng's main position has always been a full-back. Later in the 2019 season, in Benitez's five-back system, Dong Yanfeng's position gradually became a center-back.
The 2020 season is not friendly to Dong Yanfeng, at the beginning of the season, Dong Yanfeng became the main center back of the team, his partner is Danielson, in the game where he appeared, the team could not win, his performance in the position of central defender was criticized by many Dalian fans, poor ability to compete for the top, lack of defensive awareness, and even once jokingly called "WenFeng" combination by Dalian fans. In the second game of his injury, dalian won the first game of the season, perhaps with a bit of metaphysics. In the key competition of the relegation group, Benitez chose Wang Yaopeng as the starting point. In the 2020 season, Dong Yanyi appeared in the game, and the Dalian team did not complete a clean sheet in one game. However, after a season of experience, this season's Dong Yanfeng ushered in the opportunity to perform.
At the beginning of the season, Wang Yaopeng was absent due to injury, and Dong Yanfeng and Danielson became the team's center-back combination. And Dong Yanfeng also did not live up to the trust of the head coach, with the progress of the league, almost no Dalian fans have doubts about this center-back, whether it is close defense, or defensive awareness, as well as the most sprayed high-altitude ball processing before, Dong Yanfeng has made great progress, from the game we can also see that Dong Yanyi's body has become stronger, and he has not fallen behind in the confrontation with foreign aid. In yesterday's match against Henan, facing the opponent's three foreign aides, the partner of Dong Yanfeng and Danielson completed the defensive task brilliantly. In the face of Kalanga's impact, Dong Yanfeng limited the opponent well in the high-altitude ball confrontation and defense, and the opponent had almost no good chances throughout the game. The 25-year-old Dong Yanyi is sitting in the position of the main center back of the Dalian people's team little by little.
In the 2018 season, Fonte brought out the young player Wang Yaopeng, and in the 2021 season, Dong Yanfeng, who was partnered with Danielson, is gradually becoming the backbone of the team's defense. Experienced foreign centre-backs can not only help the team improve their defensive strength, but more importantly, help the team's young players grow up quickly. It is expected that more players can grow rapidly and help Dalian people return to the peak as soon as possible!
