Overview

Preseason

Dalian Pro regrouped on 18 January for winter training at the team base.[1] The original training plan was to train in Guangzhou, but could not be carried on as the manager yet decided to return.

The 2021 CSL saw growing pressure from three aspects. Firstly, strong COVID-prevention policies remained active, that foreign players and staff had to follow quarantine rules when entering or re-entering the border, and that teams would be concentrated into one or more cities for a enclosed, COVID-safe league.[2] Secondly, teams participating the 2021 CSL must have neutral club names, which resulted in far less sponsorship income. Strict salary limitation was also adopted in this season.[3] Although Dalian Pro had already switched to neutral name in the previous season, the team was still vulnerable against other policies, as football stars and manager decided to leave. On 23 January, Benitez announced through his personal website that he had parted ways with Dalian Pro.[4] On 15 February, Rondon was loaned to CSKA Moscow until the end of the 2020-21 RPL season.[5] On 9 March, Hamsik signed with IFK Göteborg.[6]

Dalian Pro had a short break for the Spring Festival, and regrouped on 16 February. Since February, the team stayed in Dalian for training and friendly matches with nearby teams, Liaoning football team for the 2021 National Games of China and Shenyang Urban. The team would move to Guangzhou on 23 March for further friendly matches against other CSL teams.

On 1 April, the 2021 CSL fixtures and details were confirmed and published. League would be divided to 3 phases. Phase 1 begins from 20 April until 17 May, then pause to prepare for the World Cup Qualification. P2 would be from 21 June to 5 August, and P3 from 24 October to 1 December.

April–May

The squad and manager of Dalian Pro was officially made public on 18 April, although sources had already reported the major changes.[7] The team arrived in Suzhou the same day. As of April, Danielson was the only foreign player in squad, although the team registered all of them. Boateng did not return in time due to visa issues after his national team matches. Jailson, like a few other Brazilian players, had difficulties acquiring visas due to the pandemic situation in Brazil.[8] Swedish media reported rumors between Larsson and IFK Göteborg,[9][10] but he later clarified personally that he was affected by COVID-19, and was unable to return to China at the time.[11]

The team struggled with single foreign player Danielson, and saw their first win on 11 May against Tianjin with his precious subsequent shot during a corner.

Interval 1

Boateng finally arrived in China in June. He would join the team in July after quarantine.[12]

Stage 2 matches were due to begin on 22 June after the World Cup qualification second round. As the matches were unexpectedly rearranged to the Emirates instead of China due to multiple reasons,[13] the league reached a consensus to postpone the schedule, as national players had to follow quarantine rules after travelling abroad.[14]

In July, the fixtures were revised and shortened to 22 rounds. The 2021 CSL would finish its Stage 1 on 12 August, then enter an unpercedented 4-month sacrificial pause for the World Cup qualification third round,[15] and conduct its Stage 2 from 1 December until January 2022.[16]

July–September

Although it was widely believed that Rondon would leave after he returned from loan, Dalian Pro surprisingly registered for him before the summer transfer window closed. Nevertheless, he rejoined Benitez at Everton right before the summer window closed.[17][18]

The team kept struggling at the bottom of the group. Although Lin Liangming emerged as the best scorer in squad, and Danielson returned from the UEFA Euro on time, the team still suffered from lack of foreign players, and entered the relegation group without much surprise. The only good news was that, Larsson, after a few months of recovery, gained access for travelling back to China.[19]

Interval 2

Wang Jinxian's goal against China U-20 in the FA cup was recongnised as the club's 500th goal in history.[20]

Lin Liangming had a rib fracture during the training, to miss the rest of the season.[21]

December

Larsson scored a free kick in the first match upon his returning, making a good start for the team in the relegation group.[22]
