When the Chinese League One resumes this weekend, all focus will be at the 22,140 seated Xinhua Road Sports Center Stadium, where football fans will gather to watch two Liberians battle each other.
Sam Johnson who snubbed some of Europe’s top clubs for Wuhan Zall, will welcome Dalian Yifang, the current employer of former CSKA Moscow winger, Sekou Jabateh Oliseh.
Oliseh joined Dalian Yifang in June on a short-term contract, after six months with Romanian league champions, Astra Giurgiu.
Wuhan Zall is currently second from bottom on the league table with 25 points from 23 games and will need a win at home to avoid being demoted from the league.
Meanwhile, Oliseh’s Dalian Yifang will be hoping to get a win away from home, to keep alive their fight for the championship. Dalian sits fifth place with 39 points, five points behind league leader, Tianjin Quanjian.
Despite Johnson’s three goals from five games with Wuhan Zall, the team has suffered four defeats. Oliseh, on the other hand, is yet to score from four appearances for Dalian Yifang.
