On August 1, news came from the Beijing time zone that a hot news was circulating in the soccer circle. According to Soccer Daily, Guangzhou FC's head coach Carlo Cannavaro elaborated on goalkeeper Liu Dengzuo's recovery at a conference on the eve of the 11th round of the Chinese Super League tournament.
Coach Cannavaro admitted: "The season is a long journey, with one game after another, and a loss will undoubtedly have an impact on the preparation. We showed our strengths in the last game, but the result was regrettable. The good thing is that we have our next game coming up soon and it will be a great opportunity for us to prove our strengths. With the next four matches, we hope to fight for as many points as possible."
Talking about Liu Dengzheng's injury, Coach Carnavaro added: "He started his recovery training yesterday, and as to when he will return to the field, I personally tend to find a suitable brace for him. Today, he will still train with the team. In the goalkeeping position, Liu Weiguo and Liu Shibo are both very good goalkeepers and we are not worried about them. Unfortunately, Mei Fang's knee was injured in the warm-up match before coming to the tournament and is not doing well, we are waiting for the team doctor's final decision. With the intensive schedule of matches, we don't dare to risk some of our players as their schedule itself is very tight and consecutive matches may cause problems."
