In the 24th round of Chinese Super League (CSL) matches played on the evening of July 21, Beijing Guoan defeated Tianjin Jinmen Tigers 2-0 at home. After the match, Beijing Guoan head coach Ricardo Suarez attended the press conference and gave an in-depth review of the match.
Ricardo began by expressing his joy and gratitude for the victory, "This victory I would like to dedicate to all my teammates, as they have been working tirelessly, both on the training ground and in the game, showing great professionalism and team spirit. At the same time, I would like to dedicate this victory to our fans, who have supported us as always, from the first minute to the last minute, and whose cheering is the driving force behind our progress."
When asked about Zhang Yuan's performance, Ricardo spoke highly of it and mentioned Li Ke's injury in passing: "Zhang Yuan did a great job in this game, he executed my tactical arrangement completely and scored an important goal for the team at a crucial moment. I'm very satisfied with his performance and it shows us his potential for the future. As for Li Ke's injury, we are carrying out detailed examination and treatment, and I hope he can recover his health and return to the team as soon as possible."
Speaking about the simultaneous debut of Zhang Yuning and Fabio, Ricardo explained the tactical arrangement in detail: "We know Tianjin's tactics and players' characteristics very well, so in today's game, we especially arranged Zhang Yuning and Fabio to start at the same time. This arrangement makes our offense more diversified and allows us to create more chances in the game. With the tacit understanding between Zhang Yuning and Fabio, together with the breakthrough of Li Lei on the side road and the assistance of Guga, we successfully created the opportunity of playing more against less. Both in offense and defense, we did a better job, and that was the key to our ability to win today."
Finally, Ricardo expressed his outlook for the future, "We will continue to move forward along the right path, constantly improving the team's technical and tactical level and teamwork. I believe that as long as we maintain this spirit of hard work and endeavor, we will be able to achieve better results in the coming competitions."
