After the game, Qingdao Qingchun Island coach Zhou Xin was not surprised by the first leg of the draw with Beijing Polytechnic, "We are not strangers to Beijing Polytechnic, last year in the Two Teams of the Central B Luxi Division were a group opponent, and in the end they also qualified with excellent results and qualified for this year's China League One. I watched the last stage of the Beijing Polytechnic League A this season, this team has no foreign aid, and there is still a certain strength and level to play in the Chinese First Division with the all-Chinese class, and it may be more that the luck is slightly worse. Before the game, I warned the players that we should not take it lightly because the opponent is a team at the bottom of the Middle Division, and they still have a certain advantage in the promotion and relegation play-offs, because after all, they are the teams that have played 34 games in the Middle Division, and their game rhythm and technical tactics are indeed better than ours. And after we finished the match in the second division, we had not played officially for 35 days before this game. Today's game also confirmed this, although we took the initiative in the scene and prepared carefully in the previous training, but we were still lacking in seizing opportunities. ”
However, Zhou Xin is still full of confidence in the second leg of the competition, "After the first leg of the game, we have a full understanding of the opponent's situation, the 30th is the final decisive battle, and the best result is the common goal of the whole team." The only worry now is Li Kai's injury, the match in the 74th minute to replace him with the intention of winning the final stages, after all, Li Kai has scored 14 goals in the Second League this season, which is the most goals scored in the entire league. Unfortunately, in the 88th minute, Li Kai was injured and had to replace him again, as for the injury, it depends on the results of the hospital examination. ”
Qingdao Youth Island Club in 2020 to enter the middle two, only two seasons to stand on the threshold of the middle league, team investor Xu Shang is full of confidence in the league, "I want to motivate the team to cross the threshold of the league, for Qingdao this football city icing on the cake, 2 million yuan of league bonus I have prepared, look forward to the team on the 30th successful league." Although the Youth Island Club was only four years old, the scale is also small, and the sense of existence in the domestic professional football circle is not so strong, but this time The Youth Island is to represent Qingdao, we want to show the strength and heritage of the football city in front of the fans across the country, so that Qingdao can once again achieve the double male club of the Chinese League One is our only goal. ”
