On September 14th, Beijing time, the night curtain is low, at 19:30, the 18th round of the 2022 season Chinese Super League is going to play a focus of the duel. Wuhan Sanzhen will meet Shandong Taishan in a hotly contested match at the Jinan Olympic Stadium, and on September 13, Wuhan Sanzhen head coach Pedro and player Deng Hanwen appeared at the pre-match press conference to warm up for the upcoming challenge. Pedro revealed at the conference, "The long wait is finally over and we have come to this key battle. Due to objective reasons, the team was forced to postpone the first two rounds of matches, but the players were filled with excitement when they learned that the showdown with Shandong Taishan would take place as scheduled. We have adapted to the rhythm of the league and can now get back on track. We will face last year's double champions Shandong Taishan, and we will face a tough battle. I hope the players will give their best tomorrow and present an exciting match." Deng Hanwen, on the other hand, said, "Shandong Taishan is a superb team with players of outstanding ability in every position. This week we followed the coach's arrangement and carried out targeted training on the opponent, so I hope we can play well tomorrow." Speaking about the opponent of this game, Shandong Taishan, Pedro commented, "The match with the defending champion is of great significance to us. Whether it's the team lineup or the tactical style, Shandong Taishan has shown a complete and mature team image. They have a variety of means on the offensive end and an equally good defensive system, which is why they achieved great results last year. Although our players are equally good, I believe they can play well in this game." When asked if Wuhan Three Town, who are currently on a 12-game winning streak in the league, would tie the Chinese Super League record for consecutive wins if they beat Shandong Taishan, Pedro responded modestly: "This is our first season in the Chinese Super League, and I just want to build a team with character, hoping that the players take each game seriously and not think too much about the result. I have to thank the club and the players for the results we have achieved. In this game, I will still focus on winning every game, and if I can get a win, then naturally I should be proud of it. But Shandong Taishan is a strong opponent and every player has excellent ability. To get a satisfactory result, we need all the players to work hard and show their best form." Speaking about Stancho, who has been unwell this week, Pedro revealed, "Whether Stancho will be able to play tomorrow or not will be a matter for me to consult with the medical team to assess his condition. There is no doubt that Stancho is vital for us, but I will give full credit to whoever plays."
