In the golden hour of the evening of August 21st, the Chinese Super League was in full swing, and in the 14th round of the tournament, Guangzhou unexpectedly beat Shenzhen by a score of 4 to 1. After the game, Guangzhou head coach Fu Bo attended the post-match press conference.
"I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the players, although our coaching team is young, but after taking over the team, we still hope that the players can boldly show their own selves, of course, they still have a lot of room for enhancement and improvement. In the lounge, director Zheng also gave encouragement to the young players, and there are more challenges waiting for us in the future." Fu Bo said so in the press conference.
Talking about the change of the team, Fu Bo revealed: "Despite the tight preparation time and in the middle of the season, our primary concern is the adjustment of the players' mentality, encouraging them to perform bravely and giving them more room for error. Zheng Zhi always gives them encouragement in training. In fact, even the big names in the game are inevitably wrong, the key is to help players build confidence, so that they give full play to their level. Tactically, we have made adjustments to the Shenzhen team's defense, mainly to play our hustle and use the strikers' quick penetration to impact the opponent's defense."
Fu Bo continued to share, "The return of Zheng Zhi and other members of the coaching staff is definitely an incentive for the young players. Some players have seen them play, some have even played with them, and now that they are training together again, the feeling of closeness and common struggle motivates everyone in the team. Training together is even more intimate, as if we are back to the feeling of the past Evergrande era, we are fighting together side by side, this feeling is very good."
"In the locker room, Zheng also encouraged the players, but also reminded them to rest and get ready for the next game. The next schedule is very tight, we have another game in two days and then we have to travel to the road for two more games." Fu Bo concluded.
