In the 18th round of the Chinese Super League, Qingdao West Coast lost 1-3 to fellow city rivals Qingdao Hainiu on July 7th. After the match, West Coast head coach Hisashi Kurosaki exuded deep apologies in the press conference and was outspoken about the team's current predicament.
Hisashi Kurosaki confessed, "First of all, I apologize to all of you, we deeply regret today's defeat. For Qingdao soccer, this game has a great significance. We were full of confidence before the game, but unfortunately, the technical and tactical deployment did not work as planned, and despite the players' best efforts, the result was not satisfactory.
I would like to thank the fans who came out to cheer for the team and, at the same time, express my apologies to them. Next, we must do our best to win the next game, because at this moment, we have no way back, the only way out is to win!"
