Stanley stated bluntly, "We realized before the game that the game would still be challenging despite our opponent's low ranking. We had to be patient and look for holes in the opposing defense in order to capitalize on scoring opportunities."
In the first half, Guoan controlled the pace of the game, and the controversial penalty kick was indeed a bit of luck, but it was undoubtedly a key goal for Zhang Xizhe, helping him equal Bakambu's league goal tally. I believe he has more room for improvement in the future.
In the second half, we continued to threaten, but unfortunately, we still have room for improvement in our final pass and final shot. Nonetheless, I would like to commend the players as we only allowed 2 or 3 counter-attacks, which is their style of play despite the fact that we conceded the goal.
Reporter's question: "Prince Ming started this game and scored, how do you evaluate his performance? What are the tactical requirements for him?"
Stanley replied, "I chose Wang Ziming to start because we needed someone who could connect effectively between the opposing defenses considering the game would be played in the opponents' half of the field, and Zhang Yuning needed support on the field as well. Wang Ziming played quite well, he scored a great goal and created some chances. I am very satisfied with his performance."
