Last night in the Chinese Super League, Changchun Yatai suffered a reversal on the road, losing 1-2 to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng. In an interview after the match, Yatai captain Sergio reflected deeply on his team's loss and looked ahead to future matches.
Sergio began by expressing his regret over the outcome of the game, "Although I personally scored a goal in this game, I'm sorry that the team ended up losing. This was mainly due to the fact that we made too many mistakes in the game and gave the other team too many chances. We must admit that both goals conceded were of our own making, and this is something we need to reflect on deeply."
Regarding the difference between the team's performance in the first and second halves, Sergio also gave his opinion: "It's true that our performance in the second half was a lot worse than the first half, but it wasn't entirely due to physical fitness. Of course, players do face physical challenges in high-intensity matches, but more importantly, we had an injury situation during the match, which led us to make substitutions. However, the substitutions did not change the situation where we made too many mistakes, which ultimately led to the loss."
Looking ahead, Sergio emphasized the importance of training and injury management: "Next, we need to put more effort into training, find our deficiencies and improve them. At the same time, we also need to strengthen our injury management to ensure that our players can maintain their best condition in the games. The league is still going on and we still have a chance to fight and find our place."
For the upcoming next round of the league, Changchun Yatai will host Cangzhou Lions on July 27 at 19:00 pm Beijing time. Serginho said, "We will do our best to prepare for this game. Playing at home is an advantage for us, and we have to utilize this advantage to win. At the same time, we have to learn the lessons from this game and avoid making the same mistakes again. We believe that as long as we are united and work hard, we will be able to achieve good results."
