On the evening of November 8, the 24th round of the 2022 Chinese Super League (CSL) Spotlight Match was held at the Rizhao International Football Center Stadium. Wuhan Sanzhen defeated Beijing Guoan 1-0, killing both opponents this season and continuing to lead the Chinese Super League with 19 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses and 59 points. After the match, Guoan's head coach Stanley exclaimed in the press conference that playing against Sanzhen is really different from other teams.
Commenting on whether the scoreline was a true reflection of the strength of the sides, Stanley said that we didn't create many chances so it was difficult to score. This was probably mainly due to the excellent defense of all three Town teams. We couldn't control the ball in their half. This prevented us from moving forward as a unit and the opposition had good players to exploit the space in the field. They have a good offense and defense, which makes it very difficult for us. They are really different from other teams.
