Three rounds before, when Jose said, "We're the team with the most points in this division," he wouldn't have imagined that just 10 days had passed before his team was likely to play the relegation play-offs. In the Chinese Super League that ended today, Dalian suffered three consecutive defeats to the Cangzhou Lions 0:2, and the ranking also slipped to the bottom of the second place. Judging from the current points situation, if the Dalian team wants to avoid suffering from the torture of the play-offs, the last round of the qingdao team that has been determined to be at the bottom of the ranking, basically only has one way to win.
Jose lamented bad luck again
In 3 consecutive games, dalian people are better than their opponents in terms of statistics, but in the end, they lose 3 games in a row, and there will definitely be some luck factors, and it is understandable that Jose once again said that he was lucky after the game. However, I don't know if José has thought about it, when you have good luck yourself, such as the first game with the Cangzhou Lions, the opponent in addition to the suspension of two foreign forwards, there are many players injured, how do you do it? Isn't it like the line in the TV series - give you a chance that you are not useful!
At a post-match press conference today, Jose commented on the game: "In the game, there were not many shooting opportunities on both sides, and in the second half our state was similar to the previous games, that is, the efficiency of the last goal was almost the same. In the last 3 games, we have played 6 or 7 goalposts, of course I hope the team can win every game, but often the other side has played better defensively, including the goalkeeper, and we have hit the goalpost again in the second half today, hoping that the players will come out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible and prepare for the next game. It's really not easy for the players because we don't have much time to prepare for the game, in fact, the opponents don't have many chances in this game, only one sports game chance to score, so we still have a long way to go, we are almost lucky. ”
Winning may have a glimmer of life
With only the last round of the game left, the relegation situation of the Dalian people's team is basically clear, and from the perspective of various circumstances, if it can defeat Qingdao, then there is still a chance for the first line to avoid playing a play-off.
At present, the Dalian team is 1 point and 2 points less than the Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in front of them. If the last round of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers wins, then no matter what kind of results dalian team achieves, they can only play the play-offs. If the Dalian team wins, and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger have a team without a win, it means that the Dalian team will either surpass Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic in terms of points, or chase the Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, and in terms of mutual combat record, Dalian Renren is better than Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, so it can also declare relegation success. There is also a situation, if the Dalian team draws, and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic loses, then the two teams finally have the same points, the record of mutual confrontation is the same, if you look at the goal difference, dalian is now 3 less, so you can only expect Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic to lose the big score to be able to get lucky and relegated. In fact, this last possibility is basically only theoretical, considering the physical and psychological fatigue of each team, it is basically impossible to play a big score.
Therefore, the road is already very clear, as long as you can win, whether you can avoid playing the play-offs, at least there will be no regrets.
