2022 Ping An of China Premier League Round 30
Hebei vs Beijing Guoan
Mission Hills Soccer Base Stadium, Haikou
/pre-game remarks/
Before the match, head coach Stanley and player Yu Yang attended the pre-match press conference.
Speaking about the game, Stanley said, "We didn't visualize a smooth preparation for the game, including the journey. Fortunately, the players had some rest. After the last loss, the most important thing tomorrow is to rediscover confidence and reach our level. "
Speaking about the previous game, Stanley said, "In the world of soccer, a team will lose twice in a row. The important thing is that we need to get out of the shadow of defeat quickly and regain our confidence. When you lose two in a row, you should think about what you did in the two losses in a row and what you need to hold on to. So we need to start tomorrow's game and get out of the shadow of two losses in a row."
Stanley then went on to say, "Injuries are inevitable as well, and of course, we've been trying to avoid that. Before some of the players who have been on the pitch longer, they have done well and made a huge contribution to the team, but inevitably there will be injuries and fatigue. Now we need other players to step up and that reflects the fact that we are a united team."
Player Yu Yang also talked about the prospect of the match in the press conference, saying, "Hi everyone, some of our teammates in the team didn't come to the away game this time, and we flew from Sunshine to Haikou very late yesterday. I think tomorrow's game is a great opportunity for us players who have had less game time before. We hope that tomorrow's game will change the team's decline in this period. We also hope that from tomorrow until the end of the season we can give back to the people who support us with victories."
