At the end of the 1/4 final of the FA Cup, Sichuan Jiuniu lost to Henan Songshan Longmen in the penalty shootout and missed the final four. Head coach Li Yi said in an official interview with the FA Cup that Sichuan Jiuniu has always aimed to play every game well. In addition, Li Yi also talked about Wu Lei's recent performance in La Liga, he believes that although he does not advance with a single knife, Wu Lei is better than many people who can create opportunities.
As the only Chinese League A team to advance to the top 8, Sichuan Jiuniu's opponent in the quarterfinals is the Chinese Super League team Henan Songshan Longmen, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, many people are not optimistic about Sichuan Jiuniu's promotion. However, in the first leg, Sichuan Jiuniu quickly equalized after falling behind, entering the second leg with a 1-1 score. In the second leg, Sichuan Jiuniu once again blocked the offensive line of Henan team, and the two sides drew 0-0 in 90 minutes to enter the penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, the two sides played a total of 7 rounds to determine the winner, and Sichuan Jiuniu unfortunately lost the final four. But in any case, the performance of this Chinese First Division team can be called the strongest dark horse in this FA Cup competition.
Judging from the two-legged match of the quarter-finals, Li Yi is also one of the heroes of this team that can fight to the end, and his dispatch and construction with Sichuan Jiuniu is obviously better than that of the opponent Henan Songshan Longmen coach. When it comes to the performance of Sichuan Jiuniu, Li Yi is very firm, he said that in the FA Cup, the team's goal is to play every game well, as long as there is an opportunity, it will do its best and will never go through the field, which is the meaning of the FA Cup game.
Li Yi also talked about his most impressive FA Cup event, in 2004 against Shandong Taishan, the home game 3-1 lead, that game Li Yi himself scored two goals, and then the away opponent won 2 goals in a row, the total score of 3-3 draw Shandong Taishan with the away advantage to advance.
In addition, Li Yi also mentioned Wu Lei-related issues in an interview, for the external criticism of the single knife does not advance, Li Yi believes that Wu Lei can get so many single knife opportunities, indicating that he is very strong, can create opportunities, the formation of a single knife. If you change other players, you may not even have a one-handed chance. However, in Li Yi's view, Wu Lei still needs to overcome the so-called "single knife phobia" ,、。
