Talking about the team's preparation in the off-season, Wu Jingui said confidently, "After the fierce battle in the first round of the tournament, our team returned to Shanghai to recuperate and put in intense training. Despite the intense heat, we continued to train at a high intensity and every player gave their best. After arriving in Dalian, we know the climate and field conditions as if we were at home, and we will do our best to achieve a good result."
The current Shenhua lineup is slightly thin, Zhu Chenjie and other players are isolated in Haikou for participating in the East Asia Cup. In the face of the challenge of incomplete personnel, Wu Jingui firmly responded: "These challenges are objective, but we will not make excuses, I believe that this is also a test of the team's growth. Despite the difficulties, we will try our best to give a wonderful game. In the center back line, Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong are absent, but Eddie, Jin Yangyang and Feng Xiaoting are in good shape. In addition, we have added three new players to inject new vitality into the team's strength. Although these three players failed to register in the first half of the year, they always train with the team, and the cohesion of the current team will help us play at our best."
Bolaños, who participated in the conference, also said, "I have a feeling that tomorrow's matchup will be very intense, but since we returned to Shanghai after the first stage of the tournament, our team training has been very effective, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow's event and I'm sure it's going to be a great matchup."
Talking about his personal status, Bolaños revealed: "Due to the late joining time, I missed a lot of necessary training, and in the first phase of the game, my physical condition was difficult to support the whole game. But in the interval, through hard training, I feel that my body gradually recovered, and at the same time, I have a deeper understanding of the team's technical and tactical, I believe that I am ready for the debut.
