On November 5, Beijing time, the pre-match press conference of the second leg of the FA Cup semi-finals was attended by Shandong Taishan coach Hao Wei and player Delgado. Hao Wei revealed that 8 players in the team are injured, and Fellaini may enter the list, depending on the opinion of the team doctor. Henan acting coach Antonio stressed that the game should be played as a final, and it is not clear whether Ivo will return.
In the first leg of the matchup, Shandong Taishan defeated Henan Songshan Longmen 1-0 with Delgado's goal, and the second leg of the match between the two teams was scheduled to be held at 15:30 on the 6th. The Taishan team's lineup is not neat, not only the international is absent, but also suffers from injuries, and 8 players such as Fellaini are injured. Talking about the second round of the game, Hao Wei frankly said: "The team encountered some difficulties, there are more injuries, or need to respect the opinions of the team doctor, I hope to play the next game well." Delgado said of the game: "We won the first game, but the winning ratio is small, we have to pay attention to the opponent's defensive counterattack, or we have to make sure we reach the final. ”
From the current situation, the Taishan team does have a lot of injuries, 4 days of training there are 6 players absent from the joint training, talking about the team's injury and Fellaini's situation, Hao Wei revealed: "The real injury is not only 6 people, to be exact, 8 people, Fellaini and Zhang Chi just follow the team to adapt, Zhang Chi certainly can't play, Fellaini can sign up, of course, we must respect the opinion of the team doctor." ”
Obviously, the Taishan team lineup is still variable, and injuries have become a real problem, but Hao Wei and the whole team are still determined to enter the final, and he also said before the game that the key to the second leg is to win and successfully enter the final. Henan, who lost 0-1 in the first leg, also expressed their intention to treat this match as a final, Henan acting coach Antonio said: "There are still 90 minutes left in the game, we will go all out, we also created a lot of opportunities in the last game, this time we will not give up." A gap of one goal does not determine the final outcome of the game, we maintain sufficient confidence, we have never had such a big determination, the players have motivation, they are one step closer to reaching the final and making history. ”
Antonio did not give a clear answer as to whether Ivo could play, saying: "Not only Ivo, but the situation of other players, we are also evaluating, the schedule is very tight, we evaluate, after we evaluate, arrange players in good physical condition to play." Finally, Antonio also stressed: "Although Shandong are very strong, we are very experienced in their matches, we are very uncomfortable opponents, they are the big favourites for the FA Cup and the league, we believe we can give wonderful games." "It can be seen that Antonio is still very confident in blocking the Taishan team, and the defense of the Henan team has indeed brought great trouble to the Taishan team, and their defensive action is very large, which is also the place where the Taishan team needs to pay attention."
