In the 32nd round of the 2022 Chinese Super League season, Wuhan Changjiang defeated Dalian Ren with a strong 3-0 score in a fierce battle in the late afternoon of December 23rd. After the match, the coaches of both teams, Li Jinyu and Xie Hui, appeared together at the press conference.
Talking about the performance of the Dalianites, Coach Xie Hui lamented, "Many of the young players in our team are stepping onto the Chinese Super League stage for the first time, and they showed amazing potential, everyone put their best foot forward, and the game was quite intense at one point. Although there is still a gap in our level, they have done their job excellently and I look forward to giving them more opportunities to showcase themselves in the future."
Reviewing Wuhan Changjiang's performance, Coach Li Jin Yu said, "In this game, the Dalian staff suffered from illness. As far as I know, many players insisted on playing even when they were unwell, and they worked hard to finish the game with an admirable professional attitude. For us, it was quite difficult for the team to go all the way, but always kept a positive mindset, which made me feel very pleased."
"The difficulties we've had this year are unprecedented in my career. As a result, all I could do was be there for the team, unsure of how far we would go in the future. However, I was deeply moved by the players this year. They stuck to the original heart of soccer, interpreted professionalism with seriousness, and showed the professional demeanor they deserved regardless of the changes in the outside world."
"Just yesterday, we also had the departure of our foreign players and the team faced quite a few challenges. But in the past two games, I want to thank all the players for their full support to me and the coaching team, and their actions have been deeply infectious. We can't predict the future, but we will do our best to contribute everything for Wuhan and the team."
