On the night of August 15, Li Zhangsu and Gao Lin, the two most important players of the team, attended the press conference before the 13th round of the match between Shenzhen and Shanghai Seaport.
Talking about the preparation situation, Li Zhangsu revealed: "Since the Meizhou tournament came to an end, our team has suffered from a number of injuries, while some of our players have been honored to be selected for the national team. Fortunately, the injury situation has gradually improved, and the national team players are returning to the team one after another, so the team is getting stronger and stronger.
Gao Lin added: "The return to the home-and-away format will benefit the players emotionally and psychologically, and will help improve their performance. As time goes by, we will be able to improve our performance in each match, which is a great encouragement for us.
Reporter's question: "Regarding the four players selected for the national soccer selection team, what is their current status? Will they make an appearance in tomorrow's match?"
Lee Jang-soo responded, "We just arrived in Dalian and the national players also arrived last night, so today is their first training session after returning to the team. We will pay attention to their physical condition in this training session and hold a meeting with them to fully understand their training and physical condition before making deployment. Some of the players had limited playing time in the East Asian Cup matches, which may affect their game feeling."
