On October 4, the curtain fell on the 21st round of a highly anticipated Chinese Super League match. Wuhan Sanzhen was defeated by Zhejiang 1-2 on the road, and the team's head coach Pedro faced the media in a press conference after the loss.
post-game review
Pedro confessed that it was an exciting and varied contest. Although Zhejiang led with two goals in the first half, Wuhan Sanzhen team also had a good chance to score, but failed to grasp it. Aiming at the characteristics of the Zhejiang team, targeted training had been carried out before the match, and despite the team's excellent performance in the second half, they were unable to reverse the situation in the end.
What's the halftime problem?
Regarding the performance in the first half, Pedro said that the team failed to play at its best. On the one hand, the team faced a strong opponent, and on the other hand, the opponent was more focused and intense in the confrontation. Although the two sides were close in terms of chance creation, Zhejiang's ability to grasp the chances was better.
What challenges does the team face?
Pedro pointed out that the first thing the team has to address is the problem of injuries and hoped that the injured players will recover soon. Injuries are inevitable in a long league, and it is unfortunate that some injuries in training resulted in players not being able to play. Nonetheless, the performance of the players was commendable and the team deserved at least a draw. Besides, the team still needs to improve in seizing chances. There are still 14 rounds left in the league, the team will take one step at a time and try to make progress in the preparation for the next rounds.
Any comments on Malcolm's performance?
Speaking about Malcolm's performance, Pedro said that overall he was happy with Malcolm's performance. The goals were a reflection of his ability. Although Malcom may not have been at his best, Pedro recognized his performance and believes that he will do even better afterwards.
