China Premier League (CPL)
In the 18th round bye match, Shanghai Harbour Team faced Chengdu Rongcheng at Dalian Sports Center Stadium. The result of the match was very encouraging, Shanghai Harbour Team won their third consecutive match with a 3-0 victory and jumped up to the third place in the table, while Chengdu Rongcheng failed to win for two consecutive matches. After the match, Harbour Head Coach Leko attended the press conference in person.
Coach Leko gave an in-depth review of the match: "Today's win was well deserved and the 3-0 scoreline was a welcome relief. However, the course of the match was challenging, our opponents had previously played very well, and our players gave it their all on the field, were confident, and showed great spirit and willpower, which was the key to the victory. I would like to congratulate my players and thank them and all those who supported us."
As a player who made his first start after his return, Wu Lei had an eye-catching performance, hitting two solo goals. Speaking about Wu Lei's performance, Coach Leko said, "Wu Lei's performance was impressive, he showed excellent individual ability and characteristics, although it is not the best form yet. Wu Lei, Vargas and Jiang Guangtai still need time to adjust to their best form and we will do everything we can to support them. It's great to see them integrating into the team with an open mind and I believe they will gradually integrate perfectly with the team."
