We knew before the game that the other team, although ranked lower, was going to be a tough game, and we needed to be patient and find the gaps in the other team's defense in order to form a score, Stanley said.
We were in control in the first half, that penalty was a bit lucky, but it was a big moment for Zhang Xizhe as well, the goal allowed him to equal Bakambu's league scoring record, and I'm sure he'll improve.
In the second half we also created a lot of attacking chances, what was not so perfect was that our last pass and last shot were not good enough, otherwise we might have scored more goals. I still have to praise the players for this game because we only gave the other team 2 or 3 chances to counterattack, and although we conceded a goal, that's the way they played.
Q: Prince Ming started the game and scored a goal, evaluate his performance and what kind of tactical requirements do you have for him?
Stanley: He was chosen to play because we needed someone to provide a link between the opposing defenses considering the game would develop more in the opponent's half, and also Zhang Yuning needed assistance on the field. Wang Ziming had a good game, scored a very nice goal and created some chances, I'm very happy with him.
