China Super League (soccer league)
19th round bye.
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
The penalty kick awarded in the 98th minute sparked a controversy, and Zhu Jianrong, who produced the penalty kick, was interviewed by Five Star Sports after the game.
Zhu Jianrong said, "Anything can happen until the competition is over. We will keep fighting and trying our best until the end, every minute and every second, until the whistle blows for the end of the competition."
"After more than three weeks without competing, I don't think I'm in the best position to compete. But as we get closer to the competition and more competitions, I will adjust myself and try to reach the best condition soon."
"To be able to produce penalties for the team, of course I'm happy myself, that's what I should do." Zhu Jianrong continued, "I thought it was nothing because we are a collective. Without the collective, of course there would be no me."
