The 11th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) came to an end with Shenzhen losing to Zhejiang with a score of 0-2. In the post-match press conference, Shenzhen head coach Li Zhangsu sincerely apologized in the face of fans' concerns.

In the face of the loss, Lee Jang-soo said frankly: "Today I must apologize to the Shenzhen fans, although the game was not held at home, but as the first match after the resumption of the home-and-away system, such a result is regrettable. The players gave it their all and I can't blame them for the loss. We suffered unforeseen injuries during training, but this was not the only factor that determined the outcome of today's game. It's all part of league competition and we'll take full stock of it on our return."

Reporter's question: "Shenzhen players were in high spirits during the game, did it affect the balance of mind?" Li Zhangsu responded, "With the score behind, the players were eager to equalize the score, and it is normal for their emotions to fluctuate."

Responding to the question of whether the result would have been different if they had played at home, Lee revealed, "I reminded everyone of this the day before the game, and it did have an impact."
