Team head coach Stanley attended the media conference.
Stanley started the meeting by commenting on the game, "I thought we played a pretty good 'away' game against a good opponent with excellent technique, fitness and ball control. In the first half, both sides played equally well and both created some scoring chances. We didn't do a good enough job in limiting the opponent's 3 players and gave them some space to play. Of course, our overall control was pretty good and we scored a couple of great goals, but they were quick to equalize as well. At the end of the first half, we still had a chance to score a second goal. The second half started off still 50/50 and then we scored two goals in a row. We knew that our opponents would step up their counterattacks and Moises was a big threat to us, and we defended aggressively until our opponents created a free kick. It was a good strategy to keep the score. The free kick and the penalty at the end were indeed a bit unfortunate for us. For the first 75 minutes of the game, we played pleasing soccer, but the counterattacks in the last 15 minutes were quite tricky for us. We are a bit disappointed with the result, but considering it was 'away' in Shandong, a point is still acceptable."
On the question of consecutive goals conceded in the last minute, Stanley responded, "I don't think that's the case. The goal conceded against Dalian in the last game may have been a mistake on our part, but this one was a case of bad luck. Against Dalian in the last round, we had a chance to win 3-1, but a mistake in the last minute allowed the other team to score a second goal. In the first 75 minutes of this match, we played quite well and the score was in our favor. I can only say that the opponent's counterattack in the last 15 minutes was too much and posed a big challenge for us."
Talking about Gao Tianyi, who scored consecutive goals, Stanley said, "The main thing is that he plays well individually, he is very capable and absorbs the coach's advice very well, and the coach is very happy to lead him, and his own ability to improve quickly."
