In the fierce battlefield of soccer, Shanghai Shenhua and Beijing Guoan are two big powers that harbor soccer talents from South Korea. Shenhua's sharpshooter, Kim Shin-wook, is the lynchpin of the team's offense, while Guoan's backline stalwart, Kim Min-jae, is the core of the team's solid defense. However, on the eve of the match, the news about the injury of these two Korean stars was like a heavy bomb, which instantly set off a furor among the fans. In today's pre-match press conference, the coaches of both teams responded to the news.
According to reports, Beijing last night, the media broke out, Shenhua in the first training session after arriving at the tournament area, Jin Xinyu arrived at the stadium early, alone, extra training, seems to be injured in the body. This news made many Shenhua fans anxious. In fact, it was just a misunderstanding. Jin Xin Yu has always been in the habit of arriving early to warm up. In today's press conference, Shenhua head coach Cui Kangxi made it clear: "Kim Shin-wook and Bassogol have performed well in this phase of training and are both ready to play. The other players in the team are also maintaining good athleticism, and we will carefully consider how to arrange the combination of personnel."
On Guoan's side, South Korean international Kim Min Ja was unfortunate to suffer a broken toe during training last month. Given that the league is about to start, Kim opted for conservative treatment rather than surgery in order to recover as quickly as possible. Recently, some Korean media revealed that Kim's recovery is not progressing well and he may not be able to return to the field this month. Talking about Kim Min Ja's injury, Guoan head coach Bilic admitted: "Kim Min Ja's situation is similar to players such as Bieira and Bakambu, who arrived at the team for a shorter period of time. If they had another week, their condition might have been more ideal. However, we were all in good shape in training yesterday. As for who will start, I'm even a bit 'happily annoyed' right now. How to arrange the lineup makes it quite tricky for me, but I believe that we are all in pretty good shape overall."
