In the upcoming 25th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), which will be played at 20:00 pm on September 14th, Meizhou Hakka will embark on an away trip to challenge the powerful Cangzhou Lions. Before the match, Meizhou Hakka head coach Milan Ristic and player representative Chen Jie attended the press conference, introducing the team's preparation in detail and expressing their expectations for the match.
Head Coach Milan Ristic began by recognizing his team's preparation during the break. He said, "Overall, I am satisfied with everyone's preparation for this break. We are well aware that each of the upcoming matches is crucial, and as Chen Jie said, they will all be treated as finals. Especially tomorrow's match against Cangzhou Lions, which will mean a lot to both of us. Cangzhou have been in excellent form recently, picking up seven points from their first three games, and they are not to be underestimated. As the visiting team, we must go all out to get a good result in the match."
Milan Ristic also made special mention of the condition of the playing surface, saying that he had personally inspected the field before the launch and concluded that the conditions were not ideal, which could pose some challenges for a team like Meizhou Hakka, which emphasizes on passing play. "The condition of the pitch is indeed a point we need to pay special attention to, but we will be well prepared to overcome these difficulties and play our best."
Player representative Chen Jie, on the other hand, expressed his confidence and expectation for the game in his speech. He said: "After a break of more than twenty days, we have had a good adjustment and rest both physically and mentally. At the same time, we have also carried out targeted training for tomorrow's game, in order to be able to show the best condition in the game. At this stage of the league, every game is crucial, and they are all as important as the final. So, we hope to get a good result in tomorrow's match through the efforts of the whole team."
Meizhou Hakka team will undoubtedly be a tough battle this time when they challenge Cangzhou Lions on the road. However, from the speeches of the head coach and the players, it can be seen that they are fully prepared for the game and are full of confidence and expectation. I believe that with the joint efforts of all the players, Meizhou Hakka will be able to play their strengths in the game and bring wonderful games to the fans.
