In a fierce pre-match press conference, Wang Chen, the head coach of Taian Tian Kuang soccer team, and Jiang Xiao Chen, a member of the team, appeared together. In the face of the upcoming match, their eyes flashed with the desire for victory. Wang Chen spoke passionately, "Today we are playing at home, and the AFC Cup provides a stage for us to show ourselves. We expect our opponents to be strong, but the whole team is ready for it. We expect to win in the presence of our home fans to prove our strength and strive for further progress in the next round of the tournament."
Jiang Xiaochen also said about the match, "We have prepared for this match and analyzed our opponent in depth. Our goal is to break through and try to win in the next round. We hope to have a fruitful return for our hard work." Taian Tian Kuang has more space for tactical adjustment when playing at home. Facing the reporter's question about the lineup arrangement, Wang Chen responded confidently, "We will do our best to make adjustments according to the tactical arrangement of the coaching team and the characteristics of the opponents, and strive to win."
According to the pre-match news, Tai'an Tian Kuang plans to send all the main players to play in the AFC Cup, and they will play against Foshan South Lions, whose strength is damaged due to the absence of foreign players, which is undoubtedly an important breakthrough opportunity. Jiang Hai, the temporary head coach of Foshan South Lions, also said before the match: "Our preparation is going well, and we are looking forward to a good result and a breakthrough in promotion. Although there may be some changes in the lineup, the magnitude will not be too big."
In the first 10 rounds of this season's Central League, Foshan South Lions only won one game, drew five and lost four, ranking third from the bottom of the league and facing a serious challenge of relegation. In the F.A.C. Cup, Foshan Southern Lions were eliminated by Shandong Taishan by 6-1 in last season, and the arrangement of their lineup for the match with Tai'an Tian Kuang has attracted a lot of attention. It is worth mentioning that the winner of the match between Tai'an Tian Kuang and Foshan Southern Lions will play against Shanghai Shenhua, which is very attractive to both sides.
In the field acclimatization training before the game, the atmosphere of Taian Tian Kuang team was relaxed and pleasant. The coaching team arranged the training of capturing the circle, followed by passing and confrontation practice, with the overall intensity moderate. Considering the injury situation of the team, the coaching team emphasized that the players need to protect themselves and be well-prepared. Jiang Xiaochen came back from injury, and Yi Keshan has already appeared in the Chinese league, the attacking end of Tai'an Tian Kuang may usher in a new change, and we are looking forward to witnessing their breakthroughs in the F.A.C.A. Cup match.
