In the 20th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Wuhan Three Town will host Shanghai Shenhua, who is undefeated so far, in the coming match on the evening of July 29th. Prior to the match, Wuhan Sanzhen head coach Ricardo Rodriguez and player representative Chen Xing attended a press conference, introducing the team's preparation and outlook for the match in detail.
Ricardo said that the team is well prepared for this week's game and specially arranged a two-day vacation for players to recover their physical and mental state. He admitted that the team's ability to control the game was lacking in the last match against Chengdu Rongcheng, which is an area that needs to be summarized and improved in the next round. Facing the strong Shanghai Shenhua, Ricardo emphasized that the team has already conducted a thorough analysis and study, and hoped that the players can show the best condition and go all out to defend the glory of the home field.
Speaking about how to deal with Shanghai Shenhua, a strong opponent, Ricardo said the team needs to be both offensive and defensive, consolidating the defense while actively creating offensive threats to avoid being passive in the game. He believes that despite Shenhua's varied offense and solid defense, every team has its weaknesses, and Wuhan has already conducted targeted training and encouraged players to execute their tactics firmly and avoid being overly conservative.
In addition, Ricardo also highly praised Deng Hanwen, the right side defender in the team. He believes that Deng Hanwen is one of the best right wingbacks in China, who is diligent and serious in training and gives his all in matches. Although Deng Hanwen is sometimes unable to fully utilize his ability due to his physical condition and injuries, he is still able to contribute to the team in the games.
Player representative Chen Xing also expressed confidence at the conference. He said, through the training in recent days, the team has been fully prepared for the game, and has the confidence to fight for the victory in tomorrow's game. At the same time, he also hopes to dedicate a wonderful game for the fans to return their support and love.
