Chengdu Rongcheng drew 1-1 with Dalian Ren in the first match of the Super League playoffs. In the press conference after the game, Rongcheng's head coach Xu Zhengyuan said, "Overall, this game was not easy for us, and I was worried before the game that the players wouldn't be able to get into shape quickly."
Seo Jung-won further analyzed, "Nevertheless, the game also exposed a lot of regrets, after the fourth stage of the game, we had a two-week-long rest period, during which we did not play any teaching games. Therefore, I was quite worried about the players' form at the start of the match."
"We were unlucky to concede a goal in the first half and I made tactical changes to the team at halftime. We improved our performance in the second half and managed to equalize the score. We will do our best to correct the problems that arose during the match and actively prepare for the next round of the showdown."
Talking about the second round of the competition, Xu Zhengyuan said, "The first round of the encounter has allowed us to have a deeper understanding of each other. In the second round, we will retain our advantages while improving our deficiencies, and strive to present a more exciting game. Dalian players have outstanding individual skills and many advantages, but our players can still adapt to their faster pace of play."
