After the match between Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan in the second round of the Chinese Super League, Guoan head coach Luis Suarez attended the post-match press conference.
Speaking at the conference, Suarez said he was aware of the difficulty of the game and admitted that both teams played at their respective levels during the match. He regretted not being able to win, especially as he would have liked to dedicate the victory to Guoan's foreigner Adebenelo, who recently lost a loved one.
Suarez further emphasized that despite the unsatisfactory result of the match, he believes that the performance of Beijing Guoan team is worthy of recognition, noting that the team has shown the strength and fighting spirit in the match. As for the effect of the 343 formation, Suarez remained confident, "The players executed the pre-match tactical deployment and created goal scoring opportunities. Fabio in the first half missed the usually easy to score a single goal, since then the whole team in the defensive end to limit the opponent, just the back did not grasp the opportunity, this is the future need to improve the place. This is the way of the soccer game, sometimes a chance to score and win, sometimes a lot of chances are wasted, and can not get 3 points. I wanted to get a win for Adebenelo, whose family member passed away, and for the fans who came from afar. But unfortunately, there was no win and I am happy with the team's performance."
