Chengdu Rongcheng drew 1-1 with Dalian Ren in the first round of the Super League play-offs. Rongcheng head coach Xu Zhengyuan said in the post-match press conference, "Overall, today's game was a very tough game. I was still worried before the match started, a bit afraid that the players wouldn't be able to find their form."
Xu Zhengyuan commented after the match, "Overall, today's match was a very difficult match. On another level, there are many regrets about today's game. After the fourth stage, we had a two-week break. During this period, we didn't participate in teaching matches, so I'm still worried that the players won't be able to find their form before the start of the game."
"We conceded a goal in the first half and I told the players to adjust at halftime, and our faces became different in the second half to equalize. In the second half of the game we have to try to correct the things we didn't do well and be positive for the next round."
Speaking about the second round of the tournament, Seo Jung Won said, "We have already played in the first round and we will definitely know each other better in the second round. In the second round, we still need to improve what we did not do well and play a better game. Dalian players have strong individual abilities and they have a lot of advantages, but the players can still adapt to the relatively fast pace."
