Yesterday evening, Zhejiang Army started the first warm-up match in Foshan in preparation for the journey, and the victory was not only a celebration of the success of the Super League, but also a warm-up for the upcoming "foreign war". Facing Qingdao Fanghua Island, a newcomer to the Central League, Zhejiang won a 2:1 victory with goals from Evolo and Long Wei.
