China Super League (soccer league)
The pre-match press conference for the 21st round of the league was attended by Cangzhou Lions' head coach Sabrić with his player Oscar. Tomorrow afternoon, they will have a match with Dalian Ren.
Sablić started by talking about the team's preparations, "It's not easy for everyone with the 7th game in 16 days coming up, it's not just us, other teams will face this too, so we've been preparing normally for tomorrow's game. Tomorrow's opponent is strong and has a lot of good players, we have to be ready."
For his part, Cangzhou Lions player Oscar said, "We have had two days to prepare and the whole team is ready for the win."
When asked if the team's backline will be under more pressure in this game against Dalian's hot offensive line, Sablić said, "Suspended players have returned, which gives us more options. Dalian is a very strong team, especially on the offensive end, and they were just unlucky not to get the win in the last game, so we need to be fully prepared."
Earlier, Dalian manager Jose had expressed his hope that Oscar would stop scoring goals. Oscar responded, "I think he was joking with me, I won't be affected. I had difficulties before and was slow to open my goal scoring account, but the problem was solved when I scored my first goal and hopefully tomorrow I can score two goals, three if possible."
