Head Coach Bilic participated in the post-game press conference.
Bilic first commented on the game, he said: "Today Shandong Taishan rotated part of their squad and we were forced to rotate because of some injuries. It was a good game, although the other side's possession rate is higher than ours, but I think we should win the game, especially in the second half we created four scoring chances, but unfortunately did not grasp, both goalkeepers have a wonderful play. 1 point is also good for us, I congratulate the players' spirit of hard work, and also to the team is about to leave the team Li Lei to say goodbye, and also to today's debut of young players who made their debuts today."
For Li Lei's farewell game, Bilic said: "I especially like this player, but at the same time there are a lot of criticisms of him, although he played well, but there is still room for upward mobility, I think he is one of the best players in China, and is fully capable of gaining a foothold in Europe. That's why in the dressing room I've been asking him to be better, he's been playing well both in the club and the national team, and now he's able to step out of his comfort zone and make a brave decision, which I admire, so I wish him all the best of luck for the future."
