Race Review
On the night of October 9, Dalian People FC defeated Chengdu Rongcheng 2-0 at home, and after the match, the head coaches of the two teams, Xie Hui and Xu Zhengyuan, took part in the press conference respectively.
Commenting on his team's performance, Rongcheng head coach Seo Jungwon lamented, "Today's game was quite unfortunate overall, and even though we were unable to win, I would like to applaud all of the players who worked hard and fought hard, and the fact is that as a whole we weren't that bad. Many of the players are eager to make a breakthrough in their careers, and they have high expectations of themselves."
"As I said before, we have been playing on the road before. Next, we will have more home matches and I hope we can present more exciting matches for Chengdu fans at home."
Dalianjin head coach Xie Hui recognized his team's performance after the match: "Thanks to the fans and players for their hard work. Our opponents put us under a lot of pressure today, but we held on and managed to crack their defense, which wasn't easy because Chengdu rarely loses more than two goals in a row and they were very patient. After going down 0-1, the other team launched a counterattack, but we didn't concede a goal. Each player ran an extra 1,000 meters, which is equivalent to one more teammate, and with the support of the fans, it was like we had 13 people. So I want to thank everyone for their efforts to earn this win."
"In this game, when the score became 1-0, I substituted Mamba, not only for the counterattack, but also for the defensive task, because the other side had several threatening attacks after the substitution. It was the result of two considerations. Our defense has always been a problem, including today when there were gaps near the box that allowed the opponent to get a one-two punch. The defense down low is still relatively young, which needs to be improved through the game. Overall, the goalkeeper and the backline played well and made a lot fewer mistakes than before."
