On May 5, the Chinese Football League A was in full swing, and Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard lost to Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic with a score of 1-4 on the green field in Wuhua County, Meizhou. The loss in this round undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to the Xinjiang team.
After the game, Xinjiang's head coach Pei Encai frankly pointed out in the press conference that the team's problems on the defensive end were exposed. He said: "From the beginning of the season, I had a premonition that there would be such a painful loss. In the match, we conceded a goal in only the fifth minute, and this early loss disrupted our pre-match layout. Although we were down by two goals in the first three rounds of the tournament, we were not able to make a comeback in every game as we did in the last round. Therefore, from now on, the team must focus on strengthening defensive training."
Pei Encai's words not only reflect Xinjiang's weakness in the defensive end, but also show the team's determination and confidence in the future of the game.
