On October 4, nightfall, Dalian People hosted Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, but returned home in defeat with a 0-2 score. As the battle came to an end, Coach Xie Hui stepped into the press conference.
The camera switches and Coach Xie Hui speaks at length at the conference, "In this matchup, it's clear that our team grind has not yet matured, and it's not simply a matter of numbers stacking up to achieve victory. Newly added players, their styles and characteristics, as well as those who have just completed the preparation period, today most of them have not reached the best state, it seems to need more time to adapt and synergy."
"However, looking at the shot stats, we had 13 chances on goal, but in this game we seemed to be too impatient. Perhaps it was because we were so eager to get back into the game after our last loss that we conceded on the first shot of the first half and the team's mentality faltered with it. This is exactly the dilemma our team is facing at the moment and we hope to overcome it gradually through the game."
"The strategy for the first 10 rounds of the tournament was carefully planned over a three-month preparation period, while now there are seven new players added to the squad and new additions to the starting line-up, some of whom have not even completed their preparation period. Manzocchi, for example, has not participated in preparatory training for three weeks now, and two other players have not yet fully adapted to the tactical intentions."
