Manager Jankovic remains low-key in his joy. In his opinion, this victory is certainly worth celebrating, but not overly important, this is only the beginning of the AFC Champions League journey, not the end. After all, it's hard to make an objective assessment of a team or an opponent based on just one game, and it will be easier to see how the team performs as a whole at the end of the group stage.
Regarding the winners and losers of the match, Yankovic believes that

The goal for the team was scored by

Liang Shaowen, the captain of the team and also the captain of the National Youth League. Before the first match, Jankovic mentioned Liang Shaowen in an interview, but he was reluctant to point out specific players before the match to avoid putting pressure on his players. This time he also did not praise Liang Shao Wen specifically, but said Liang Shao Wen is a self-discipline, hardworking and talented player. At present, Liang Shaowen, as the captain of the team, rewrote the score at the critical moment, which is his strength and also his responsibility. There is no need to praise too much because soccer is a team sport, and after the latter equalized, it was also the joint efforts of the whole team that did not give the opponents a chance to score, which was ultimately the result of everyone's efforts.

The team also has many good young players, if they can play in this AFC Champions League, they will also get the chance to play for the first team after the AFC Champions League.
If the first game against

They should not make that mistake again when they face the mighty Kawasaki Frontale in the next match. Kawasaki Frontale is a strong team that should not be underestimated in Japan or even in Asia. Jankovic is no stranger to such opponents, having played against the likes of Shimizu Drums and Gamba Osaka in his playing days, before Kawasaki Frontale became famous. Now, he has seen Kawasaki Striker play and believes that this unit is not only the strongest in Japan, but also one of the strongest in Asia, with an almost flawless offense and defense, and a team that plays a disciplined style.

Yankovic has his own preparations for facing such a team, and he believes that

The defense will certainly be a huge test, and captain Liang Shaowen will have a heavier task. In fact, when playing against such a strong team, the result is no longer the most important thing, the most important thing is what you learn from it.
A fan left a comment after the match, wishing Jankovic a good start to the season, but also reminding him that he should lose weight, his stomach is bigger than when he was a player. Jankovic has actually been training consistently, but his biggest problem is that he has more friends in China and is often invited to parties. Yankovic quipped, "If I had fewer friends, I would probably be a lot thinner.
Yankovic's ability to lead the young players to such achievements has drawn the attention of many Chinese fans, especially Dalian fans, who are more than expecting Yankovic to lead Dalian's youth army to good results. However, the current situation, Yankovic may be a short period of time with Dalian coaching opportunities, Wanda has always insisted on the route of Spanish soccer. Yankovic in an interview with reporters has more than once said that he has been concerned about the Dalian soccer, found that the club has not won the title since 2005, the last title or he got under the leadership of Frado, and he hopes that the Dalian team to win the title again when he led the team as a coach.
