But as more information was revealed, including the fact that Jankovic eventually helped Qingdao West Coast to achieve transcendence, fans gradually realized that the Jankovic of Qingdao West Coast was the former foreign aid of Dalian Shide.
In September, Qingdao West Coast achieved 3 wins and 1 draw, how do you evaluate the team's performance this month?
We were still pretty good throughout the month of September. We won 3 games and held 1 draw. Despite leading at one point in the game, we were leveled at the last minute due to players' lack of concentration. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance in September and it would be perfect if we can win the match against Dandong Tengue.
Was the match against Sichuan Jiuniu in the Tianwangshan Mountain of the Central League the team's best performance of the season?
The match against Sichuan Jiuniu is crucial for both teams. Both of our teams were eager to take the initiative and attack. In the end, we won the game with some luck, as both teams were very strong and together contributed to a great matchup. Of course, when we finally won, we deserved the fruits of victory.
What have you done to revamp the team since taking over?
Since taking over the team, I have completely revamped the team. First, in terms of formation, I insisted on a 433 formation. Although we lack a proper winger, I chose this attacking formation considering that our opponents defend more in the middle of the field. I hoped that through this formation, through passing and coordination, and by attacking the opponent's weak points in defense through the side, we created many chances to score goals.
