On the evening of December 13, Beijing Guoan will play against Guangzhou in the first round of the second stage of the 2021 Chinese Super League. On the evening of the 12th, Guoan coach Bilic attended the pre-match press conference with the team members Yu Dabao. Bilic admitted that the whole team is ready for the game, and he also thanked the international players who have been in the closed period for a long time, as well as all the players facing the financial constraints of the club, and hoped that the whole team could work together to overcome the difficulties and play the last 8 rounds of the game.
Bilic attended the press conference
Bilic said at the press conference that it was another long league break, and all the players were looking forward to the second stage of the league. The coaching staff knows the strength of the opponent Guangzhou team, and the game will be difficult. Fortunately, in this interval, many players have been training with the team for a long time, and the overall training effect is good, coupled with the return of the international players, the team is ready.
As for whether all six internationals who have played the World Preliminary Round of 12 in the World Preliminary Round with the Chinese men's football team will start, Bilic stressed that he will try to find a balance between maintaining the physical condition of the internationals and ensuring the overall strength of the team, after all, there are 8 games at this stage. But the first game is very important to the overall trend of the team, although the internationals need more time to rest, but the schedule is dense, I am afraid they do not have more time to rest.
In addition, Bilic deliberately took a large time to praise the players. He believes that in addition to the hard work shown by the players on the field, they have also shown willpower and professionalism in this difficult season caused by the epidemic. "Compared with previous seasons, every Chinese Super League team has encountered the problem of losing foreign aid, of course, Guoan may have the greatest difficulties. Because the team relies on a foreign aid game most of the time, it requires more local players to stand up and meet the challenge. I would like to pay tribute to the six internationals who have been away from their families for a long time, and I would also like to express my gratitude to the players who have actively faced the financial difficulties of the club. The club and the owners are working hard to address these issues and thank the players for showing the utmost tolerance and understanding. I believe that the whole team will overcome the difficulties together and play well in the last closed period. ”
Yu Dabao attended the press conference
At present, there is only one foreign player in the Guoan squad, Anderson Silva, who will also take on the task of scoring. Bilic's assessment of Silva is: excellent, positive thinking, and motivation. He believes that Silva has been training with the team for a month and he is looking forward to the game. The team's final warm-up match was the first time Silva played with the internationals and seemed to blend in well, although he also needed time to adapt to his teammates and the league as a whole.
Yu Dabao said that in the past two years, affected by the epidemic, professional players often have to carry out closed training, games and life in the bubble of epidemic prevention, unable to see their families, mentally and physically tired. But back on the field, the players will still do their best to play well. He wants to be in good shape and play every game well.
