On April 29th in the Beijing time zone, the second round of the 2021 season of the Central League will kick off with a fierce duel between Zhejiang and Sichuan Jiuniu. In a tense pre-match press conference, Zhejiang's head coach Jiao Di expressed his view that "the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, while we ourselves have set higher goals."
In the first round of the tournament, Zhejiang swept Zibo Cuju with a score of 4-0, while Sichuan Jiuniu lost to Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic with a score of 0-1. Nonetheless, Coach Jordy believes that the Sichuan Jiu Niu team is a very resilient team, noting, "They focus on passing and are a very technical opponent. The team has high-level players, so we have prepared well for their characteristics and also set a higher standard for ourselves." Despite the morale boost from the first round win, Jordy was not complacent. He said, "We are never satisfied with the results of any game, after the game, we will conduct an in-depth review and summarization, as a way to help the team continue to improve. According to the characteristics of different opponents, we will adjust the tactics and playing style."
