Du Feng replied, "Actually, there is no evaluation, it is a young team, whether it is the bad habits of everyone before, or some of the consciousness of playing, in fact, there is still a big gap between the needs and expectations of the fans and the audience, and I hope that fans and friends will understand this team correctly." There is still a lot to improve the quality and level of these players, and hopefully they will continue to train hard and then improve themselves and prove themselves on the pitch. Focus more on playing every game!"
In this regard, netizens have said, "Is it wrong for fans to expect good results from the team?
"In fact, Director Du is still very good at tapping the wealth of young players, such as Zhou Zhandong, Ren Junwei, and Yu Dehao, all of whom he brought into the national team."
"I'm starting to brainwash Guangdong fans again"
"Why don't you try Xu Xin to play 5 Zhang Hao to play 4, anyway, Awang is gone with three points"
"Isn't the goal to win the championship?
"Didn't you say the championship... 5 national players, 3 foreign aids"
"Now think about it, Cantonese fans used to be very arrogant and said that we don't rely on foreign aid. Haha"
"Zhang Hao fights on the field, moves fast, and is attentive, Zhang Haojia is not strong enough on the field, moves slowly and is not focused, and uses Zhang Hao, Zhang Wenyi, Xu Jie Xiaohu, and Wang Zai in general."
