I believe that many fans know that in the past ten years, the Chinese Super League is an era that belongs to the giants. Since Guangzhou Evergrande has opened up a road for Chinese Super League teams to quickly become giants, many clubs have followed suit, begun to invest highly, buy big-name foreign aid and hoard international footballers, making the Chinese Super League star-studded for a time, while the giants are lined up. For a while, many fans did not know which team to watch the wonderful performance. Of course, among these giants, there is still one of the strongest giants, that is, Guangzhou Evergrande Team. They have won the league championship 8 times in ten years, 2 league runners-up, and also won a record 2 AFC Champions League titles, becoming the pride of the Chinese Super League.
However, some people do not recognize the achievements of Guangzhou Evergrande, they believe that Guangzhou Evergrande is only a result piled up with money, he is just a collection of high-quality resources exchanged for high investment, and Guangzhou Evergrande itself has not cultivated high-level players, and mainly relies on the play of big-name foreign aid, not really powerful. In their hearts, the most powerful dynasty in the Chinese football league is still the Dalian dynasty. Because Dalian has also won 8 championships in China's top league, and Dalian team does not rely on foreign aid to play the world, but on local players to play the world. And they don't have a high investment, digging up good players everywhere. Many players are cultivated by themselves, and even take the initiative to play for Dalian. Because at that time, the Dalian team was really too strong.
But unfortunately, Dalian football declined for various reasons, and just in the early days of the Golden Age, dalian shide team, the representative team of dalian dynasty, was also disbanded. After this, Dalian football has been in a trough period, and even for a long time, there is no Dalian team in the Chinese Super League. Finally, in the 2018 season, Dalian Renren Club returned to the Chinese Super League from the Chinese First Division. At that time, many fans were looking forward to the team's ability to restart the Dalian Dynasty. And the team is backed by the well-funded Wanda Group. Wanda Group has also invested a lot of money in the team, big-name foreign aid in batches, there are Karaska, Hamsik, etc., and foreign teachers have also changed a lot, such as former Real Madrid coach Schuster, Premier League coach Benitez, etc., and local players, also introduced a lot of Dalian international footballers, but also gathered a lot of young talents, want to blow their own youth storm in the Chinese Super League.
But it is a pity that the Dalian team has invested so much but has never seen the effect, the results have been wandering in the relegation circle, and what is even more tragic is that last season, they unfortunately ranked second to the bottom of the Chinese Super League, and lost to the Chengdu Rongcheng team, which is fourth in the Chinese First Division, in the two legs of the Super League play-offs, and unfortunately relegated. Promoted from the Chinese First Division to the Chinese Super League for 4 years, and then unfortunately relegated, I believe that this is like a dream for many Dalian teams, and this dream is still so short.
However, there are also many fans who have confidence in Dalian, because Dalian now has too many young talents, they are almost the best in their age, as long as they persist, they will definitely achieve good results. But now there is a big problem, that is, when a team is unfortunately relegated, then the good players in the team will face being dug up. And there will also be some players who are not willing to be relegated to play in the Middle Division, they want to play in the Chinese Super League. Especially for international players, if they are relegated to the middle division, it is likely to mean that they can no longer be selected for the national team. Therefore, the Dalian football team must face a large loss of talent, just like when they began to decline, Dalian football talents began to disperse throughout the country.
Recently, there is not very good news for Dalian fans, that is, the few active internationals in the team are basically leaving the team, he is the 26-year-old left guard Li Shuai. Everyone knows that the good players in the left-back position are currently the most sought-after players in the Chinese Super League, and many teams want to strengthen this position, but they are helpless to have no resources in the market. Now that Dalian has been relegated, Li Shuai has become the most wanted player for other teams.
According to the latest news from Football News, Changchun Yatai is expected to introduce Dalian full-back Li Shuai to strengthen the position of left-back. The source said: "Yatai veteran Rao Weihui is over thirty years old, and due to injuries and suspensions, he only played 13 games last season, which greatly weakened the team's competitiveness." With Dalian downgraded to the Central League, Li Shuai is expected to return to Yatai to strengthen the team's left-back position.
Of course, for Li Shuai, Yatai also has a very attractive point for him, that is, Yatai has the AFC Champions League to play this season. As a player, of course aspire to have a higher level of play to play. And staying in the Chinese Super League helps him enter the national team. Therefore, such a transfer is the best choice for Li Shuai himself. Do you think Li Shuai will have a better performance when he leaves Dalian and goes to Changchun? Do you think that at the AFC Champions League level, Li Shuai's side breakouts and defense can play a key role? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
