Shanghai harbor
In the away match against Shenzhen at the Dalian Sports Center Stadium, a 2-0 victory was achieved. After the match, Harbor Coach Leko confessed in the press conference, "The match was not easy, but we fully showed our style." Facing two consecutive defeats against Shenzhen, head coach Lee Jang-soo, on the other hand, expressed his concern: "After the team's consecutive losses, the players' self-confidence has been affected a bit."
Reviewing the Shenzhen game, Lee Jang-soo further said, "After two consecutive defeats, I did worry that the players' self-confidence would take a hit, but they have given their best on the field."
Regarding Shenzhen's slow performance today, Lee Jang-soo said, "We haven't determined the match form of the four players who returned from the national team, so we made some rotations after halftime. From the game, the team's form did dip, but we can improve through training."
And in summarizing the Harbour's game, Coach Leko emphasized his team's characteristics and defense: "It was a tough game, but we showed our characteristics, created numerous chances and managed to take them. Our defense did a great job and I'm proud of the players for being able to beat a strong opponent like Shenzhen."
