January 8 - The 2022 Chinese Super League season ended with Wuhan Three Town winning the title on goal difference. In an interview with Soccer Night, Three Town coach Pedro talked about what it was like to win the title.
-Talk about winning the title in the final round
Pedro: If we can win at home in the last round . . it would be wonderful to win the title. A wonderful thing. Assuming the last round can play normally, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger . Beijing Guoan normal state, the main lineup preparation, we are not afraid of the last round of games, to compete for the title. This season does have a lot of force majeure factors, it is a very difficult year.
--Talking about teaching experience in China
Pedro: You probably don't know much about me. When I first came to China, I was a one-man U18.U15 consultant invited to Wuhan Sanzhen club as youth training director. In the Central League, I temporarily took over the team and then helped the team advance to the Chinese Super League. It is unimaginable that I have achieved this this season. Generally speaking, I have achieved success in this situation. I give myself 8-9 points. We have achieved great results, but there is room for growth.
-Talk about the most difficult period of the season
Pedro: The most difficult part of the whole league was two periods, the first was the break at the beginning of October, when many of our foreign aiders needed to return home, and in between they needed to be isolated and had some problems with our internal aiders . The foreign aid came back and encountered a wave of injuries, such as playing Changchun Yatai. Cangzhou Lions game, we all want to equalize or exceed the score in the last minute, but did not succeed.
When there are 10-12 rounds left in the league, 3rd place . Fourth place is hard to catch up. Our direct competitor is Shandong Taishan. They were an old powerhouse team, looking greedily at the title. I began to realize that it was possible to win the title if we worked hard. The second difficult stage was the final stage. It was very difficult to challenge Dalian away from home in the last three rounds of the tournament, facing Dalian with most of our players in a sick state. We had to play against Chengdu before fully recovering. Many players were sick. Then there was the game against Zhejiang. The opponent was a strong team and gave us a lot of difficulties on the pitch. But this game was one of the best games we played this season. It was a wonderful thing, it was a good execution of our tactics that led to the victory.
