Obviously, Shenzhen is a team that should not be underestimated. Coach Leko said: "As I said before, the strength of our opponents has improved significantly as we enter the critical stage of the championship. Shenzhen is already the top team in the Chinese Super League, they have strong foreign players, both experience and skills, we have to go all out. We are full of respect for our opponents, but we are also confident in ourselves and we will try our best to suppress their advantages. Based on the ability and style we have shown in past matches, I am confident that we are good enough to beat any opponent in the Chinese Super League."
Shenzhen has a unique style of attack in front of the field, as Leko said, the opponent's attacking players are of various types, the harbour team needs to be well prepared in both offense and defense: "Facing Shenzhen's front line, not only have Archie Mbeng and Caldecott, who each have distinctive characteristics, but also the coach's tactical arrangement is well-organized and distinctive, and we will undoubtedly face a lot of challenges tomorrow. We respect our opponents and keep our own tactical characteristics, tomorrow we will follow our own rhythm, show our style, and ultimately see which team's tactics can lead to victory."
Oscar said, "As the manager said, we have been training very hard recently and we are well prepared for tomorrow's game. Tomorrow is the first match of the title contenders' group and I hope we can have a good start." Talking about Shenzhen's foreign aid Jintro, Oscar added: "Jintro is a very good player, and is left-footed, I appreciate his style of play, tomorrow's game we should have a targeted defensive arrangement for him. Of course, soccer is a team sport, so no matter what, we want to show team soccer, joint defense and attack, and keep our usual style of play."
