A come-from-behind 2-0 victory over Wuhan ended a losing streak to start the new Chinese Super League season with two consecutive wins.
After the game, coach Bilic could not hide his excitement as he expressed his pride in his players' ability to win despite the plight of missing several key players. He expects the injured players to recover quickly in the off-season as the team's goal remains to compete for the league title.
Bilic said that the 2-0 victory was very satisfying for him as the team did not concede any points. He mentioned that the first goal was a bit sudden and he made adjustments to the tactics during halftime. The second goal was because the team capitalized on its chances. Although there were chances to score at the back, it was unfortunate that they could not be converted into goals.
He emphasized that his team showed a lot of great coordination in the second half, but also made a lot of cheap mistakes. Nevertheless, he was proud of his team's victory.
From two consecutive losses to two consecutive wins, Bilic's team seems to have gone through a roller-coaster transformation, the hardship of which only he knows best. He believes that although the first four rounds of six points is still not satisfied, especially against Shanghai Harbor could have scored. He doesn't want to complain too much about the objective factors, but admits that this year's team is different from last year. Despite the absence of the main players, he hopes that the players will recover quickly during the break, and the ultimate goal of the team is still to compete for top honors.
Sosa was particularly good at center back in this game. Bilic praised Sosa's ability to play both as a defensive midfielder and as a center back. He attributed Sosa's play today to his physical strengths and stable mentality.
Bilic spoke highly of Bakambu, who scored twice. He believes that a top player like Bakambu, as long as he keeps a calm mind and trains hard, scoring goals is just a matter of time.
Next, the team will have a 40-day long off-season. Bilic revealed his plan: to let the players rest and use this time to relax, while making sure that the injured players, including Kim Min Ja, Bieira, Yu Yang, Wang Gang, etc., recover and return to the team as soon as possible.
Wuhan team manager Li Xiaopeng said that although the game was lost, it was their best performance in the first four rounds. He believes that the team showed a good level of technical and tactical skills, but the loss of the ball also reflects a lack of preparation.
For an old rival.
