Qingdao West Coast head coach Hisashi Kurosaki said in the pre-match conference that the team has done sufficient research and preparation for the away match against Shanghai Shenhua. He mentioned that as a newcomer in the Chinese Super League (CSL), the team has already got a point in the first round of matches, which is their first step towards the CSL. For this match against Shenhua, they are well aware that the opponent is a strong team, so they are ready to face difficulties and challenges.
During the preparation process, all the coaches and staff of Qingdao West Coast showed a spirit of unity as they went into the match with a clear goal in mind. Although Sun Jie, the main central defender, was injured in the first match, the team reorganized the back line and made adjustments accordingly. In addition, the team's assistant coach Koji Maeda was once an assistant coach of Shenhua, and his experience is a valuable asset to the team.
Hisashi Kurosaki also mentioned that they analyzed several of Shenhua's previous matches, including those against Meizhou Hakka, Shanghai Seaport in the Super Cup, and Zenit in the warm-up, hoping to find a way to win against their opponents through these detailed analyses.
