In the just concluded
China Super League (soccer league)
In the 12th round of the league play-offs, Shanghai Seaport and Cangzhou Lions played to a 0-0 draw, with neither side making any progress. After the game, the harbor team head coach Laike bluntly: "tonight the first half we played quite well, created a lot of opportunities, but unfortunately failed to grasp; the second half, the opponent showed a high level of athleticism, the situation on the field once tend to be even. 0-0 score more or less let a person feel a little bit frustrated, because we deserve to get more points. " Despite the disappointing result, there was good news for Leko.
The Harbour's starting lineup for this match remained the same as in the previous match against the Jinmen Tigers, with core players such as Paulinho, Xu Xin, and Yan Junling absent due to injuries and family matters, while Stanley Wong continued to sit on the bench, and the team's newly-added center-backs Jiang Guangtai and Li Shuai failed to make it into the starting lineup.
On the question of whether Paulinho's absence affects the team's attacking end, Leko said: "It's not Paulinho's problem alone, the fact is that we created a lot of chances during the game, whether he was there or not. He may have been slightly less lucky this year, not having too many goals and assists on the offensive end, but I don't want to talk about individual players, I just want to say that all the players who have been training with the team have been very positive, and they deserve more credit than they're getting. As long as everyone keeps training hard, I'm sure we'll make a difference in the next few weeks."
