You can see the enthusiasm and strong desire of the lads, but they need to maintain and improve their own level. In order to be able to achieve their goals, everyone should have a strong personality to become a good player. I am very much looking forward to their Winter Olympic performance, and I hope that they can win the recognition of world hockey and let the world see Chinese ice hockey. ”

Representing the national team at the Winter Olympics is extremely precious, and I will certainly do my best to contribute. But I also want to have a clear understanding that ice hockey is a team sport, and if you want to play individually too much, it may affect the whole. So my goal is that if you do every detail well, you will definitely get something out of it. ”
At the end of the interview, Ying Rudi also paid tribute to the ice fans who supported him, saying: "Because of the pressure of the nearby competition, coupled with the epidemic prevention and control, we did not celebrate special Chinese New Year's Eve night. Our goal is to play the ball with all our might and then think about something else when the game is over. But I still want to say goodbye to all those who support us, especially the ice fans in Beijing, and I wish you a happy New Year, a prosperous Year of the Tiger, and a happy future together! ”
