Nobody could get near Nicolae Stanciu
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Wang Haobin in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dalian Yingbo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of our own: Lyu Yuhao joins the Dalian Yingbo first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lyu Yuhao is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The manager makes an example of Li Hao
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Lyu Zhuoyi takes the honours
Marked 7.37 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Dalian Yingbo had the best player on the pitch.

“I want to play”: Li Hao speaks
“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Somebody else is better right now than Huang Zihao
The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

No place for Lyu Pin in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Dalian Yingbo are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Half-satisfied: He Chengdong on the draw
“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
