1. It's not that I can't win if someone is better than me, but at this point it's important to tell the team that you can beat Australia, you can beat Japan, and they need confidence. There are very few players in the squad who have won in the last 12 and they need to win to boost their confidence. We need to guide the players and get them to play a different style of soccer.
2. The national football team is like the children of many people, sometimes underachieving, sometimes naughty, but ultimately it is your flesh and blood, and cannot be abandoned because of a moment of disappointment.
-August 22, the Chinese Football Association (CFA), the Chinese men's national football team in Shanghai on the national football team to prepare for the 12 strong match held a media communication meeting.

Emphasized confidence when talking about the Big 12 and hoped fans would give the team more support and encouragement.
I'm ready to stay away for six months. I'm carrying just enough tea for six months. When the country really needs you, what choice do you have? Only to go all out.
-- Affected by the epidemic, the national football team can only go to West Asia to participate in the 12 strong match. Faced with the upcoming long period of closure, isolation

expressed themselves at the communication meeting.
After 9 or 10 consecutive league games, the players have not recovered sufficiently, and the fatigue level is much higher than that of the Top 40. Although this is an objective factor, it is by no means a reason for losing.

In the post-match conference, he described the current state of the team and said that the campaign was "a growth for me and for the team".
Since I started playing soccer, my goal has been to play for my country. The coach of the Chinese national team should be a Chinese person, and only a Chinese person can do this job.

The national team has already played two home matches in West Asia in the first three group stage matches of the Round of 12, and we are eager to get back to the country as soon as possible to play on our real home turf.

(The inability to play domestically) has a huge impact on the national team. We are like homeless children, playing outside, in small rooms, only able to go out during training, which is extremely difficult for the players.
-Beijing time on October 13, the national football team lost 2-3 to Saudi Arabia on the road. The Football Association (FA) was still in full swing at the time, trying to get the two November fixtures to be played in the country, the

1. I think the substitutions were normal. At that time, I felt that Luo Guofu's fitness and mobility had declined, and his contribution to the side defense was insufficient. The opponent was eager to equalize the score and had more passes, we replaced Artemisia Junmin to strengthen the midfield control and he did a good job in passing the ball a few times after he came out; Wu Xinghan also did a good job and strengthened the team's side defense.
2. To be fair, none of us have actually played at home, and it would be a completely different story if we could.
-Beijing time on November 12, the national football team in the lead after a goal by Oman 1-1 draw, Li Tie prematurely replaced Luo Guofu and Xu Xin is widely regarded as the turning point of this campaign.

1. You haven't been through this and don't know how hard it is to face days like this. Our players are going through the most difficult time for Chinese players and no one has gone through this, including me.
2. In the face of some substitutions, the use of players, I have always maintained such an attitude: if I think it is right, I will accept it with an open mind, even if it is criticized or even cursed, there is no problem; if it is not right, we may take a look at it even if it is not right. I can confidently say that no one understands these players in the Chinese Super League better than I do, including those who play in the national team.
3. I have spent more time on soccer than any of you, and I am the only one who knows this national team best.
4. We said goodbye to Alan in the dressing room, he could no longer bear this separation from his family, he will return to Brazil from here and will not return to his home country to play in the league with the Guangzhou team.
5. In the last two years we have not played any team better than ourselves, not one.
6. How can you possibly expect our players to perform better than ever when they have to play in an intensive league with little rest? Some people say it's almost the same with and without a home game, these people don't understand soccer at all, I can say for sure now that it's totally different with and without a home game. If we play in Suzhou this time, we will probably get 6 points in two games, that's the difference.
-Beijing time on November 16, the national football team drew 1-1 with Australia.
