With the goals of Baihelam and Zhang Yuning, the Chinese team defeated the Indonesian team 2-1 and won the first victory in the round of 18. After the game, head coaches Ivankovic and Wang Dalei attended a press conference.
Ivankovic began by saying: "Thank you to our players for their dedication on the field, for showing tactics, passion and always fighting. For 100 minutes, we were always fighting. We would also like to thank the fans, who have always supported us. Thanks to Qingdao for its support to us and for providing the best conditions in all aspects. At the same time, I would like to thank the leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the leaders of the Chinese Football Association for their trust. We repay the trust of the leader with a win in a game and three points. ”
During the game, there were rumors that Zhang Yuning received a yellow card for excessive celebration. Ivan said, "I didn't see Zhang Yuning get a yellow card on the sidelines, so I could only read the referee's report after the game. ”
Regarding Indonesian coach Shin Tai Long's attribution of the team's loss to "bad luck" after the game, Ivan said: "In the second half, they were really leading the attack, trying to equalize the score, and playing very aggressively. We defended well, they didn't create good chances. They scored, and we made mistakes in the clearance. Needless to say, the Indonesian team is a strong team, and with so many naturalized players, we won a hard-fought victory. Once again, I would like to congratulate my players on their victory in this hard-fought game. ”
Regarding the technical and tactical arrangements for this game, Ivan said: "We studied and deployed the Indonesian team's style of play before the game. Although we encountered a pre-match injury situation, and the three main players Wu Lei, Fernando and Zhu Chenjie were unable to play, we made corresponding arrangements. The players played at a high level on the field and executed the tactics resolutely. Winning relieves stress and boosts the confidence of the players. We need to prepare better for the next game against Bahrain. ”
Regarding the substitutions in the game, Ivan explained: "It should be said that there were a lot of accidents in the game, such as today, after 65 to 70 minutes of high-intensity play, there were players who had muscle problems. Therefore, we made substitutions, mainly for injuries, not for technical and tactical reasons. Of course, this also reflects the attitude of the players who gave their all and put their heart and soul on the field, in exchange for this victory.
We are a very united team. For example, there is a detail, Wu Lei has not trained for such a long time, but after playing closed, he still came. We put him on the bench. If he wants, he can play for 20 minutes, 30 minutes. So I'm thankful for our players, we're a united team. ”
Wang Dalei, the best player of the game, summed it up: "I am still immersed in the excitement of the game. We were able to get an important win at home thanks to the 10 brothers in front of me who helped me block a lot of the opposition's attacks. We are grateful to the team, we won this game and we are very happy. ”
Regarding the team conceding goals in consecutive games, Wang Dalei said: "To be honest, it is a lot of pressure on every player because this is the national team. In my heart, I've been through a lot of games and haven't been like conceding 12 goals in three games. My family, teammates and coaches have supported me and given me a lot of advice during this difficult time, so I'm thankful. But I am still proud to be able to serve my country. You should still carry it. ”
