Reporter Jia Yanfeng reported that on the afternoon of the 8th, the first leg of the super league play-off match between Dalian and Chengdu Rongcheng ended, and the two sides drew 1-1. Among them, Dalian People's goal hero Sun Guowen in the 54th minute was sent off in the second half, two yellows and one red were sent off, Dalian people in the first half of the 1-0 lead, the situation took a sharp turn, and finally was equalized by Chengdu Rongcheng with a penalty. It was supposed to be a game that Dalian could win, but it was a draw. There are many issues in the game that deserve deep consideration and discussion, but now for Dalian people, the key is to let go of emotions and seriously prepare for the second showdown. The second leg will be played at 15:30 on 12 January.
If you watch the whole game of dalian people, you will clearly feel the emotional changes and fluctuations of the whole team. Combined with the various signs before the game, we can get a general context: Chengdu Rongcheng team has a strong desire to rush over, and has opened up generous conditions for rushing rewards, which is a kind of pressure and stimulation for dalian teams.
Dalian people did not have the certainty of victory, but after the opening, Dalian people found that Chengdu Rongcheng was not as strong as expected, and also got a lot of offensive opportunities, especially after Sun Guowen scored a goal and ended the first half with a 1-0 lead, it can be said that the whole team was looking forward to taking away 3 points, but in the 54 minutes of the second half, Sun Guowen suffered an irrational foul, ate the second yellow card of the game, and was sent off with a red card - this also became a turning point in the game.
At that time, Chengdu Rongcheng launched an attack from his own back half after breaking the ball, the ball pushed to the middle of the right side, and Sun Guowen was originally far away from the passing area of the ball, but he was defensively eager, he chose to turn back and pounce on the team player, and then a stampede foul with a tactical foul behind the back blocked the opponent's counterattack, but the key to the problem was that Sun Guowen had already had a yellow card before.
After Sun Guowen turned two yellows and one red, the situation that the Dalian people originally had the advantage of took a sharp turn in an instant, and after fighting one less person, the attack could not go up, and the defense line was tight, which was a change that no one expected.
Dalian's bench actually had no objection to the referee's second yellow card shown to Sun Guowen, but after watching the Rongcheng team may equalize at any time, any referee's penalty will make dalian's nerves tense, and the original balance of equal strength has been broken.
And Li Haixin's subsequent controversial penalty decision made it difficult for Dalian people up and down to accept, so there were many acts that were not calm enough. Zheng Long, who rushed into the field from the bench, even received a red card, but in fact, he did not appear in the big list of this game.
The second leg of the match between the two sides began on the 12th, and Dalian people still had three days to solve the mentality problem exposed in the first game. Whether to continue to doubt everything with emotions, or to let go of stereotypes, sort out everyone's mood, and use strength to make a final attempt, it depends on the head coach, but also on the management. Now that the Dalian team is a young team in its own right, the mood of the players is easy to fluctuate and is also very susceptible to negative emotions, if all the attention can not be focused on tactics before the start of the second game, then the result of the second game is still not optimistic.
Throughout the 2021 season, dalian has stumbled all the way, and for a "life-and-death" game like the play-offs, the whole team knows its importance. For the relegation play-off, the team is also unwilling, but some Dalian fans do not understand the team's pain, until the team went to the division is still accusing and insulting.
The Dalian people's team pressed out on the top, and the game was subjected to controversial penalties, and the loss of emotional control was also traceable.
In the second leg of the game, off-court doubts will not be stopped at once, and the penalty may still inevitably have something undesirable, so how to avoid similar reckless incidents and not have unnecessary non-combat attrition is what Dalian people should consider in these days.
Judging from the first leg of the game process, Chengdu Rongcheng is not as strong as imagined, but it is not a weak team, and the "first half" game is also 1-1, and the fate of Dalian people is still in their own hands, depending on whether they can control it with reason.
The reporter contacted the relevant management of the Dalian people team after the game, and they said that they would forget the first game as soon as possible and would still fight to the end for the Dalian people's Chinese Super League qualification.
