Acting head coach Li Weifeng and Guangzhou team technical director Fu Bo attended the press conference.
Fu Bo said in summarizing the Guangzhou game, "First of all, thank you to the fans, although the fans can not come to the derby game, but both sides are very hard. If there are fans today, the game may be more intense, more exciting, today our players show the future of the young style. The game is very close, lost a little regret, a goal difference, sometimes may still be because the opportunity to grasp, may be lost.

It was also important for them to get 3 points today. Despite the loss we have to give encouragement to the players, they were very active on the field and showed potential, and in the future we hope they will perform better and better."
"Grabbing points is very important and realistic for us at the moment. The game is like this, both to play beautifully, but also to go to get points, at this stage we have a lot of young players in the team, the summer window also added some veteran players, they have a lot of help to the team, such as Artemis Junmin's performance today is completely different, they are a little bit of integration, they will also pass on the good things, will give to the team more help."
"There's a three-week adjustment for our team.

During the game, he said, "I'm happy to win today, but during the game, we had a lot of problems, we came up at the beginning and played tight and a little bit anxious. I told them that they have to be quiet to get it right, but the first 45 minutes were still worse. I am more to blame because I asked too much of them and in the second half we got back to our rhythm."
"The team as a whole is better defensively, and that's what I'm trying to do, we have to work on both defense and offense, but my time is too short, so what I can do is to make the midfield and backfield tighter. The fitness of our players is still bad right now, and next, I need to give them more help. It's very good, when I first arrived in the team, I told every player, I don't differentiate between veteran and junior players, they all go out on their performance, Yongjia, Xiao Liao, Ningan, they are all great. I think I was able to leave a future for the team."
"It's really tough for our team, this score is in the relegation zone and it's still in the relegation zone even though we won today, what we have to do is to look forward and aim for better teams, it's normal to win and draw and lose but let's not always talk about the difficulties, but about facing and responsibility."

Li Wei Feng said, "We kicked the ball from 98 to now, whether it is kicking the ball or transitioning to be a coach, we need to learn to improve. After kicking the ball in the last round of games, we also said we want to make a date. We are friends, buddies and brothers. Soccer is cruel, who would have thought that the two Guangzhou teams would be in the situation they are in now. As you said, the flavor of the Guangzhou derby is changing. I may leave one day as a foreigner, but what I can leave behind for the team in the time I'm there is the most important thing."
"We've practiced well these past 10 days, but today, even though we won, we didn't play like we should have, and that's what I feel down about. Our team really practiced well and I told them that we need to make winning the norm and inertia and forget about this game tomorrow, there's too much to do, so there's nothing to be happy about with a win, we can have fun with our own families tonight, but after that we have to move on."
