On March 13, Beijing time, the Chinese men's soccer team continued its pre-match preparation training in Shenzhen. Wu Lei was interviewed by the media. For the new coach Ivankovic, Wu Lei said he is strict on details and lives a humorous life.
"I think he's a very detailed coach, especially on the practice field. Some of the offenses and defenses we practiced yesterday were very demanding. And then I think he has a great sense of humor in everyday life."
Wu Lei revealed that the national soccer team met every day at noon for the past two days and explained technical and tactical issues in detail. Ivan emphasized more, one is to strengthen the offensive ability, the second is to rebuild the confidence of the players. "Because these two days every day at noon meeting, he is also emphasizing these two aspects to us, including the basic technical and tactical play, every day slowly for us to implement, in fact, we have a certain understanding, because after all, we before against Oman will also analyze the opponents, so in fact, we are still quite understanding of his offensive concept."
Wu Lei believes that adjusting the mindset is more important. "Actually, I don't need to worry about my body, because the league has already started and my body has been in the state of the game. I think I should adjust my mentality because the main reason is that this game is really different from the club and the attention is different."
Talking about how to get out of the shadow of the Asian Cup loss as soon as possible, Wu Lei said:¡°What we can do is to train every day, do well and then participate in the game. The result of the game will give everyone confidence."
For Singapore's opponents, Wu Lei thinks I should be the main one. "We must be the main one. We haven't officially played Singapore for a long time, but we know something about them because we also know they have a lot of these naturalized players. A lot of teams in Asia had a lot of naturalization programs last year, so we'll still be looking at that aspect. But on a practical or psychological level, it's still going to be me."
