In the 25th round of the Chinese Super League on the evening of September 13th, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng lost to Shanghai Harbor with 0-2 on the road. After the match, Yu Rui, the captain of New Pengcheng, was interviewed by the media on the sidelines and commented on the team's performance in the match.
Yu Rui firstly affirmed the team's efforts in the game: "In this game, we completely followed the coach's last week's training, defense and counterattack strategy against the opponent. From the whole game, we did a good job. Facing the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the whole Chinese Super League, they have scored more than 80 goals, but we only conceded two goals, which shows that our defense is still effective."
However, Yu Rui also pointed out his team's shortcomings in the game: "Of course, we also missed a lot of chances and failed to capitalize on them. If we could have done a little better in defense and details, it is possible for us to leave with points. Unfortunately, the other team took their chances and we didn't. But that's the way football is. But that's the way it is in soccer, there are wins and losses and we have nothing to regret."
For the next game, Yu Rui said the team will go all out: "The next five games are crucial for us, we have to prepare well and go all out to win every game. Our goal is very clear, that is, to complete the relegation task ahead of schedule. I believe that as long as we are united and work hard, we will be able to achieve this goal."
Yu Rui's speech showed the firm determination and confidence of the whole team of Shenzhen New Pengcheng in the relegation task. Although they failed to win this game, the team's performance in the defensive end still deserves recognition. Next, they will continue to work hard to achieve better results in the next matches and fight for relegation.
