It was difficult to find a good chance to break through in the first half. However, in the second half, the strikers managed to tear apart the defense and scored two goals, making the subsequent game much easier.
Facing the delay in finding a way to break through in the first half, Bilic said: "The players' mentality was slightly conservative, they were worried about losing the ball when they got it and didn't dare to take risks, which made it difficult for us to penetrate the dense defense. During the halftime break, I encouraged them to let go in the second half and turn to the side if they couldn't break through in the middle. We could also create chances in a simple and direct way, and improve the efficiency of our offense through multiple attempts. In fact, the players knew exactly how to attack, but due to a lack of courage, many one-on-one chances were not capitalized on. By the second half, their mindset relaxed and two passes were eventually converted into goals."

Despite the victory, the center of the midfield, Biela, left the field at half-time due to injury, causing some damage to the team. Talking about the matter, Bilic said that Bieira went directly from the stadium to the hospital for X-ray examination, and so far the injury is not serious. He admitted that this year, the team was affected by the epidemic and other objective factors in the preparation period, some players returned to the team late and failed to systematically participate in the training of the preparation period, "Now, Kim Min Ja, Wang Gang and Bieira have some injury problems. After only three rounds of the league, the team has suffered injuries, which makes today's victory particularly precious."
Talking about scorer Bakambu, who has yet to break his goal drought, Bilic remained patient and confident, "Bakambu also returned to the team late and had stayed in the hospital for a while. He worked very hard today, but he's just not at his best yet. It's okay, as long as he keeps training hard, I believe his form will get better and better."
