Acting head coach Sui Dongliang attended the post-game press conference.
Sui Dongliang summarized the game: "I think the game was still under our control, but unfortunately we lacked a little bit of luck. Our opponents studied us more thoroughly and were very determined in their counterattacks. The two goals we conceded were our own mistakes, and our concentration was once again off."
When asked if the center back combination will be adjusted, Sui Dongliang said, "We have a lot of people who can play center back, including Liang Shaowen and Yu Yang. It mainly depends on who is in good form. Yu Dabao was our main center back before, but he had a problem with his neck in the last game, and today he also came on as a substitute with an injury."
Looking back on the last three games, Sui Dongliang said: "These three games took six points, to fulfill our basic goal. I think the most important thing is that the team's style of play has changed, back to our previous small fast and agile go ground and pressure style of play, I also have been telling the players, we must insist on playing like this, we are able to create a lot of opportunities."
Talking about the home atmosphere in Rizhao, Sui Dongliang said, "I think everyone is very excited, there are spectators certainly all want to show our ability, the fans to give to the players to bring motivation, it is a pity that we failed to bring them a victory."
