The night was low, June 24th in Haikou, the 6th round of the 2022 season Chinese Super League was in full swing. In the focus of the battle, the Dalian People's team to 0-2 defeats the enemy insufficient number of Henan Songshan Longmen team. After the battle, the coaches of the two teams, Xie Hui and Javier, gathered in the press conference room to face public opinion.
In the face of the game, Dalian People's head coach Xie Hui bluntly: "Physical consumption is huge, rotation is imperative. Some of the main players are close to their limits, and the risk of injury cannot be ignored. In order to be safe, today we sent 9 rotating players, including 5 U23s and 3 U21s, and they played quite well, but there is still a gap with Henan Songshan Longmen, who had one less player. In the second half, we replaced the main players, but some of them were inexperienced, inexperienced in the Chinese Super League, and their shortcomings in skills and experience were obvious. As the head coach, I take full responsibility and hope to gain more advantages in scheduling, congratulations to Henan for the victory."
Talking about the team's data dominance but low scoring rate of shots on goal, Xie Hui said, "pay attention to last season's scorer list, the top ten domestic players are less likely to be ranked, which is a feature of our league. It's not easy for the whole Chinese class to score, we actually got a lot of chances, but it's understandable that there are problems with the mentality when we are behind."
Commenting on the game, Henan Songshan Dragons head coach Javier said, "Our previous preparation plan was very different from today's game. We had originally formulated a very offensive plan and therefore fielded many attacking players. However, after Ma Xingyu was sent off too early, we were faced with a huge dilemma as we were one man short on the field. We adjusted quickly and quickly adapted to the situation, and with one man short, we showed the spirit of hard work, passion for soccer and team spirit, and this win means a lot to us."
Javier continued, "We discussed a lot of changes in technical and tactical play before, but I also mentioned that the DNA of Henan soccer is the fighting spirit, and this spirit of never giving up and fighting is deeply rooted in the DNA of Henan soccer. We showed on the field that no difficulties can break us down, and we continue to grow through difficulties, and I hope that our spirit will make our fans and those who support us feel proud and happy."
Speaking about Karanga's performance, Javier said, "First of all, there are multiple reasons why he has performed well. He didn't return home after last season and stayed in China, completing a quality pre-season winter training without missing a single session. His dedication and hard work paid off on the field, so he scored a lot of goals. But today we're talking about this win and it's not appropriate to talk too much about individuals. I want to talk more about the team win, the overall win."
