Lee Jang-soo apologizes to the fans at the post-match conference
In the 11th round match between Shenzhen and Zhejiang, Shenzhen suffered a 0-2 loss. After the match, Shenzhen manager Li Zhangsu sincerely apologized to the fans at the press conference: "I would like to say sorry to the fans in Shenzhen. Although this match was not a home match, it was the first match after the resumption of the home-and-away system, and I feel very sorry for failing to get a win. Although the players gave their best on the field, I am ultimately responsible for the result of the game. Injuries during training did affect us, but that's not the whole reason for today's defeat. It's a normal part of the league and we will learn from our experience.
Fans questioned: are the players emotionally charged and mentally unbalanced?
Responding to fans' questions about the players' high emotions and imbalanced mentality, Lee Jang-soo said, "With the score behind, the players will naturally have the urge to equalize the score, and it's normal to have emotional fluctuations."
Home advantage: would the result have been rewritten had it been at home?
A reporter asked if the result would have been different if the match had been played at a real home ground. Lee Jang-soo said, "The day before the game, I did mention the issue of home field advantage, and it did have some impact."
