On January 26, Beijing time, at the pre-match press conference of the Japanese team at home and the Chinese team in the 7 rounds of the round of the round of 12, Li Xiaopeng, the new coach of the Chinese team, said that in addition to the suspended Luo Guofu, the rest of the Chinese team players can all be on standby to play tomorrow's game. In addition, Li Xiaopeng believes that the victory or defeat of the Sino-Japanese battle depends on the strength and overall strength of the players, and tomorrow the skills and tactics of the Chinese team will be formulated around retaining a glimmer of hope, and the naturalized players can see their love for the team when they return to the team.
Japan coach Mori Hoichi's statement at the press conference is no different from the previous interviews, revealing that because the Chinese team has just changed the manager and has not played a warm-up match, they do not have any information about the Chinese team now. In addition, Mori Hoichi announced that Endo Wouldō replaced Maya Yoshida, who was injured and unable to play, as the captain of the Japanese team in this match.
