On June 29th in Beijing time, a much-anticipated Shanghai derby of the Chinese Super League is about to take place. Prior to the match, Harbour's head coach Leco attended a press conference together with foreign aid Ndiaye.
Speaking about the next day's battle, Leko revealed, "Despite the rain that fell last night and our preparations on the indoor field, the team's form was not affected. We have analyzed the last game in depth and have a better understanding of our opponents. Our opponents are strong and deserve our respect. We are equally eager to win, but we will have to work exceedingly hard and show our best form."
Ndiaye, on the other hand, said: "It will be an extremely close match, both sides are strong teams. I believe we are the more dominant side and we are confident. Under the leadership of our coach, we will work hard to win and earn those vital three points."
When asked about Xu Xin's injury, Leko responded, "He is suffering from an injury and will not be able to participate in this match."
Faced with a question about whether this derby will be significantly different from the last one, Leko responded skillfully, "That's a good question indeed. We will undoubtedly perform better than last time, but I won't repeat what I said before. A real harbor team can only be at its best when all the players are together."
