On March 2, Beijing Guoan defeated Cangzhou Lions 2-0 away. In the post-match press conference, Guoan coach Luis Suarez affirmed the team's performance.
The first game was always very difficult to play," said Suaris, "and we were against a very good team and we executed our tactics very well on the pitch. The support of the fans is also important, so we won this game and it was crucial. ”
When asked again about the evaluation of the team's three central defenders, Suarez once again affirmed the team's performance, "I am very satisfied with the players who started and came off the bench. All the players did what I asked them to do and I believe they can do better in the future. ”
In this game, Guoan's performance in the second half was significantly less positive than in the first half. Suarez said: "My request to all the players is to press high and get the goal as soon as possible after we get out of the game. It was important to score as soon as possible in the first game and the players executed well. In the first game, you still need to adapt as quickly as possible, but I think everyone has done a good job. ”
In the next game, Guoan will play away against the strong Shandong Taishan. Suarez believes that every game is important and that all three points are the most valuable, "Our strategy is to have the ball at our feet. The opponent in the next game is very strong, and we will now focus all our energy on Shandong. ”
Adebenro, who was controversial during the game, converted a penalty at the end of the game. Suarez responded to the reason for keeping Suarez: "I have said this on other occasions before, because the interests of the team are above all. Adebenro is a very characteristic player and has the ability to break the deadlock, and he was excellent today, but he is not at his best fitness at the moment, including Zhang Yuning. That's all about what makes us use them carefully. Including Li Ke and Zhang Chengdong, they are still injured, these are all very important players for us, and every player is a valuable asset. ”
