At 14:10 on December 17, Wuhan coach Li Jinyu and team member Wang Zhifeng attended the pre-match press conference. After the press conference, the Wuhan team went to the resident training ground for the official training before the round.
Li Jinyu (Head Coach of Wuhan Team)
In the past two days, we have chosen to prepare for recovery training and psychological adjustment, and in terms of technical tactics and playing style, we have continued the training and preparation mode we have carried out before. Three days a game, for the players to bear physical fatigue and mental exhaustion are the same, so I still hope that our players can autonomously in these two days to make a certain recovery and adjustment to meet the next game.
Wang Zhifeng (Wuhan team member)
In fact, the preparation for the game is the same as before, making self-recovery adjustments, according to the coach's training methods and methods, and trying to prepare for the next game.
Reporter: The first two games were big scores to win, will this game continue?
Li Jinyu: The score is actually quite unexpected, but it does not mean that you can be happy after winning an opponent, in fact, the preparation is still quite stressful and very tense. As long as the players play out their confidence, how many wins or how to win, it's the same for me. Especially when we're in the relegation group, it's not just about playing a game, the points are more important to our team now than just thinking about how many games we've won, which is not something to be happy about because we're still some distance from our goal.
Reporter: In both games we conceded the ball and then reversed, and the players were also very motivated, but is it a better way to score first and hold the final victory?
Li Jinyu: Definitely, as a coach and a player, I don't want to lose points, which is an important prerequisite for preparing for the game. We also try our best to do well, some things are not solved immediately after hard work, but the players did not affect the mentality because of the goal conceded, which is more gratifying to me, and the confidence shown on the field is what I need.
