In the 22nd round of the league, Guangzhou defeated Meizhou at home with a score of 1-3 and failed to win for seven consecutive rounds. After the match.
Guangzhou team
's technical director, Bob Fu, called an emergency press conference.
Fu Bo commented on the game at the conference: "I was very frustrated by the home loss, especially in the first half, when our concentration was obviously not focused and we dropped points continuously. But our performance picked up in the second half, and Coach Zheng Zhi communicated with his players, emphasizing the true meaning of soccer. Only by playing like this can we call it real soccer. No matter what happened on the field, we kept our fighting spirit and tried to recover the score even when we were behind, which fully reflected our technical and tactical level. Therefore, I hope that the players will follow the example of the second half performance and keep it up in all future matches."
In this game, Artemisia made her debut, and Huang Bowen and Zhang Chenglin also came on as substitutes. Talking about the role of the veterans in the team, Fu Bo said: "We mainly rely on the young players, while the veterans are mainly responsible for the transmission. Older players need more time on the field to reach their best condition, which also requires more training. As you can see from the game, the young players still have to improve in terms of experience and technique, and the only way to do that is to train hard."
The face of seven consecutive rounds of relegation pressure without a win, Fu Bo frankly said: "If we consider the results from the actual stage, we may consider personnel adjustments. Because we are so many people, how to maintain the old players all game competitive state, how to improve the young players, these are the actual problems we need to face, the road is still long."
