On the afternoon of August 24, Cangzhou Lions drew 1-1 with Zhejiang in the 13th round bye. After the match, the skippers of both teams attended the press conference.
Zhejiang skipper Jordy said, "Today we did not do very well in this game, not able to continue the previous technical and tactical play, we have some passing errors in front of the field, did not seize the opportunity to score, the backfield also gave the opponent a lot of positional ball opportunities, in fact, can be avoided."
"We are not happy with today's scoreline and are especially unhappy with the lack of reflection of the technical and tactical play. We don't have a lot of time now, we need to find our form and intensity as soon as possible for the next game."
Lions boss Sablić said, "I'm more full of my players' performance throughout the ninety minutes than this point, we showed great integrity today, three tight lines, running aggressively all over the pitch and we ended up equalizing and that's what soccer is all about."
