In a post-match interview, captain Alexandrini said: "With an intensive schedule of three days, to be honest, there is not much time to prepare for this game, we can only do our best to fight. When we were ahead of the game, we thought we were going to win the game, but unfortunately we lost the game in the end, and we need to be more focused on preparing for the next game. Overall, our defense is still doing well, probably because of fatigue that eventually leads to conceded goals. We also had a chance offensively, but we weren't able to score again. We must do our best to relegate the success for the city of Qingdao. ”
At the post-match press conference, acting head coach Yang Weijian said: "This game was more intense against both sides, it is very regrettable that we finally lost the game after leading twice. After the team's consecutive defeats, the psychological adjustment of the players needs a process. Opponents seized scoring opportunities well today. The games behind us were very tough and we had to adjust the mentality of the players as soon as possible. In this game, the players performed well, and they fought until the last minute, and I was satisfied with their fighting spirit as an acting head coach. ”
Faced with consecutive defeats by the team, the relegation situation is grim, what are the considerations for the remaining matches?
Yang Weijian: "We have to adjust the spirit of the whole team and strive to play every game that remains.
