Yu Yang: through our overall adjustment these days, I think everyone is ready for tomorrow’s game, and I believe we will do better than before.
Yu Genwei: After the last defeat, our whole team returned to Tianjin and made a good summary. The team, both coaches and players, were quite honest. We found the reason for the defeat, everyone has good communication, and we hope to further improve the deficiencies in the future training and competition to avoid some situations in the last match. I think this is a very positive signal for the team. Facing Tomorrow’s game, everyone knows very well that it will continue to be a tough game, because the opponent is Shandong team and the strength is very strong. But I think, because of this, tomorrow’s game is also a very good challenge for us. I believe that I also hope my players can feel excited about it, I hope they can show the best state and the most full mental state to play the game tomorrow. At the same time, we also hope to get a good result away.
Media question: the two games were only four days apart. How was the team’s physical fitness and injuries?
Yu Genwei: The injury situation is not better relieved, because it still needs a certain amount of time. Now for our team, it is a relatively difficult stage in the near future. Everyone also knows that several of our main players cannot return to the team in time. Many of our players in these games, several players, including veteran Yu Yang, insisted on the game with injuries. I am still saying that, for Tianjin team, we have this cohesion and tenacity. We hope that even if we are not well equipped, we will be able to play every match.
Media question: in the first round of the two teams, we scored a relatively high score and the two sides also fought against each other. Will our strategy change in this game?
Yu Genwei: We still want to develop more effective tactics to face tomorrow’s game according to the situation of our own personnel and the characteristics of everyone who can play tomorrow.
