Obviously, Shenzhen is a team of extraordinary strength, in the eyes of coach Leko, who said: "As I said before, as we enter the group of title contenders, the strength of the opponents is not what it used to be. Shenzhen is also a strong team in the Chinese Super League, with a strong foreign aid lineup, a lot of experience and great skills. We have to be at our best. We respect our opponents but are confident in ourselves and aim to limit their strengths. With the strength and style of our past matches, I am confident that we are good enough to beat any opponent in the Chinese Super League."
Shenzhen team has distinctive characteristics in the offensive end, as Lecco mentioned, the opponent's attacking players have different styles, the seaport team needs to be well prepared in the offensive and defensive ends: "Shenzhen team not only has two distinctive players in front of the field, Achimpen and Caldecott, but their coach is also well organized and clear tactics, tomorrow we will definitely face a challenge. We respect our opponents, but we also have a unique way of playing, tomorrow we will follow our own rhythm, show our characteristics, and see which team's tactics can laugh in the end."
Oscar added: "As the manager said, we have been training very hard recently and we are ready for tomorrow's game. It's the first match in the title contenders' group and I hope we can have a good start." Talking about Shenzhen's foreigner Quintero, Oscar said, "Quintero is a very good player, good at left-footed, and I like his playing style very much. In tomorrow's game, we should have a targeted defense setup against him. Of course, soccer is a team sport, so we hope everyone can play overall soccer, work together in defense and offense, and keep our usual style of play."
