On November 2, China time, Shandong Taishan faced Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the much-anticipated Chinese Super League. Before the match, Coach Hao Wei personally appeared at the press briefing.
At the meeting, Hao Wei elaborated on the team's preparation strategy. He said, "Our team is strictly following the established plan, and we are looking forward to playing smoothly in the game and striving for a win." Talking about the rumors that Taishan might move their home ground to Jinjiang, Fujian, Hao Wei responded, "It's not something we can decide on our own, maybe it's because of the climate, and we would prefer to arrive in a place with a pleasant climate."
Talking about the opponent Tianjin's intensive defense tactics, Hao Wei said bluntly, "Tianjin's performance has been solid and continues to improve under the leadership of coach Yu. I hope our team can break through their tight defense and win the game."
Player Cressan, who was also present at the conference, expressed his views: "I want to thank the manager for his trust, my teammates for their support and the whole team for their help. With everyone's support, I can score more goals. For me, the Golden Boot is not the ultimate goal, winning the championship is my priority. Of course, it would be ideal for me to win the title and then win the Golden Boot at the same time. But the key thing is the title."
