Jankovic, the head coach of the selected team, emphasized that the draw proved that we are capable of being a strong team in the future.
On the eve of the match, Jankovic passionately motivated his team in the locker room: "Today's game is not just about winning, we have to earn the respect of others through this game. To win on the home ground of the Japanese, we have to be united and compact. Raise your hand if you are tired, never give up, come on!"
All the players formed a circle, and the captain Zhu Chenjie shouted: "We have a chance, we have a chance!" Then, the whole team shouted "Go China" in unison, with high morale.
At halftime, Jankovic once again inspired his team: "I'm proud of you, we defended the honor of our country. In a game like this we have to give it our all, we can't procrastinate, we have to play normally and try to win. Believe in yourself, the more games like this we play, the more we will improve. Keep it up, if it stays 0-0, in the last 10 minutes I'll adjust my tactics, intensify my offense and keep fighting in the second half."
After the game, Jankovic once again commented, "It was crucial for us to get a point, we had a chance to beat Japan. I hope everyone goes to sleep with that belief, but don't get too happy because we haven't won yet. When we go back tonight, we have to start from zero and this game proved that we are capable of being a strong team. In the game in three days, we have to prove that we are not a weak team because weak teams are satisfied with one point against Japan."
