On the night of November 30th, Shenzhen's division hosted Shanghai Port in Haikou, but ended the game with a 0-3 defeat. After the match, Shenzhen's head coach Guan Zhen made an appearance at the press conference.
Reflecting on Shenzhen's performance, Guan Zhen said, "Unfortunately, I was unable to win the game with such a scoreline. Looking back at the first half, Hong Kong launched several consecutive threatening attacks, which were triggered by set pieces and Paulinho's goal. Our coaching team analyzed that our formation did not restrict Paulinho enough and the four midfielders stood slightly thin, and our opponents took advantage of these weaknesses, thus creating several scoring opportunities."
"However, after 30 minutes, our coaching team quickly adjusted their tactics and managed to fend off the opponent's attack. In the second half, we replaced two players and adjusted our formation to 4-3-3, applying some pressure on the opponent's back line, so our performance in the second half improved significantly compared to the first half. I still want to thank the players for their fighting spirit, but we still need to address issues such as lack of concentration during the game."
In the post-match interview, a reporter asked: Shenzhen team this season, most of the goals conceded from the sports war, sports goals conceded ratio is even higher than the league's first. How do you see this data? What do you think are the ways to improve our performance on the defensive end? Guan Zhen responded, "In fact, since Li Zhangsu left, our performance on the defensive end has not only improved against Shandong, but also in the first 30 minutes of the game the players' attention has been focused, and the overall performance is still good. We conceded a set piece against Henan, and we conceded one in this game. We're learning from these consecutive goals. We still hope that the players can keep a high level of concentration on the game."
