In the 5th round of the 2024 CFA Cup, Qingdao West Coast unfortunately lost 0-4 to the strong Shandong Taishan team at home, and regretted to stop in this round. After the match, Qingdao West Coast team member Abdul Haili reflected and summarized the team's performance in an interview.
Abdulhaleem began by honestly pointing out the main reason for the team's loss: "In this game, our team made some rotations, mainly to let the players who had played less in the previous games get the chance to play. However, such adjustments also brought risks, and the goals we conceded were all caused by our own mistakes. It was not scored by the opponent through effective passing and insertion, but our own mistakes in defense and coordination gave the opponent too many chances."
He further emphasized, "This is something we need to go back and take serious stock of. As a team, we have to learn from every game, especially a big loss like this one, which should be of great importance to us." Abdulhaleem's statement showed his responsible attitude towards the team and his firm confidence in the future.
Looking ahead, Abdulhaleem said, "Although we lost this game, the game is not over yet. We need to take this loss as a motivation to work harder in the coming games. This weekend, we will host Meizhou Hakka in the Chinese Super League. It's a good team, but we are confident to play better with the support of our home fans."
