Reflecting on the game, Ristic said, "First of all, I am very happy and satisfied that we won this victory, especially after three consecutive losses and finally achieved a reversal, and the opponent is also Guangdong Derby. Looking at the game, it can be divided into two phases, in the first half we were actually in control of the game as well, and then we took a 2-0 lead; in the second half we made some technical and tactical adjustments and gave the ball to our opponents while we adopted a defensive counterattacking strategy on our side, and finally won with a score of 3-1, which is very good for us."
Speaking about the upcoming interregnum, Ristic said, "Next, we will have a short interregnum with enough time to tune up the players, recover our players and get ready for the next phase of the tournament."

Meizhou Hakka won all four of their "Guangdong Derby" matches. When asked what he learned from the match against his city rivals, Ristic said: "First of all, I'm very happy that we won the 'Guangdong Derby', but the season is not over yet, and we have to face more derbies in the future. Derbies have a special significance in soccer matches around the world, in fact, the most important thing to show in a derby is the spirit of hard work and team spirit, and we think we have done both."
Ristic added: "When I came to Meizhou Hakka FC as a foreigner, I really felt that the whole club was like a big family, and that's probably what we've done better than other teams, and the team is very stable now."
