In the final relegation play-off last season, Dalian lost 1-2 to Chengdu Rongcheng in two legs and regrettably relegated to this season's Central League One. Although there are rumors that the future of several overtaking teams is uncertain, Dalian is expected to return to the Chinese Super League. But whether it ends up playing in the Chinese Super League or the Chinese First Division, the quality of the team's winter training plays a crucial role in the competition throughout the year. It is understood that the Dalian people's team will regroup at the Dalian Football Youth Training Base on February 16 to start the preparation work for the new season.
Due to the late end of last season, dalian's rest period is shorter than other teams, which is also a huge test for the player's physical recovery. After the relegation, the team was full of momentum to return to the Chinese Super League, and since the end of January, the club has developed a home training plan for the players, including leg strength and core strength to help the players stay in shape.
At present, the team's personnel is relatively neat, except for Tong Lei who was called up by the national team last season and Tao Qianglong, Zhao Jianbo and Wang Jinshuai prepared for the U23 Asian Cup with the U21 national team, the rest of the domestic players will all return to the team. Several of the team's foreign aides will not return to the team for the time being, and when and whether they can return to the team may depend on whether the team will play in the Chinese Super League or the Chinese First League next season.
As for whether head coach Jose will continue to lead the team to the new season, Dalian Renren Professional Football Club officially did not have a clear statement. However, considering the result of the final relegation last season, coupled with rumors that the Football Association will introduce further measures to limit the club's investment, it may have a certain impact on Jose's future in Dalian.
Since returning to the Chinese Super League in the 2018 season, Dalian Renren (Dalian Yifang) has hardly experienced a complete winter training period, the only relatively complete is the 2020 season, but due to the sudden impact of the new crown epidemic, the whole team has been adrift overseas for two months before returning to China. The entire winter training last season was conducted without a head coach, and Jose did not meet the team until the day before the Chinese Super League, which also directly affected the team's performance last season.
