The pre-match training was unexpectedly canceled by manager Carnavaro. This was a big disappointment to the media reporters who rushed to the scene. CCTV reporter Liu Siyuan expressed his surprise at the sudden change in a post on social media. He wrote: "Yesterday was the last practice of the two teams before the opening match of the Guangzhou derby, I and some media colleagues rushed to the Galaxy Stadium Annex, I did not expect to be told upon arrival that the media opening was withdrawn! Cannavaro came to our country for four years, this is the first time to encounter this situation. The last time I encountered a similar situation, was in Jeonbuk, Lippi did not participate in the conference, but the sidelines should also remember that I received a group interview with the media, and this time there is nothing."

These experiences have undoubtedly had a negative impact on Cannavaro. In addition, he was also unhappy with some of the unfriendly descriptions in the media, so before the start of the new season, he hoped that he and the team could have some "space" to focus on training and competition.
