On the evening of August 4, 2023, Beijing time, in the 20th round of the 2023-season Chinese Super League, before the match between Dalian People and Shanghai Shenhua team, coach Xie Hui and player LV Yiyi attended the press conference before the match.
Xie Hui: Shanghai Shenhua is a strong opponent, so we have made sufficient preparations in all aspects to meet this difficult competition, I hope to bring a wonderful match to the home fans.
LV Yiyi: the schedule in August is very intensive, and each game is very important to us. Tomorrow is the first match in August, hoping to achieve a good result and make a good start for August.
Question 1: Before the competition, Shanghai Shenhua was unable to participate in the competition due to some special reasons. Is this a special opportunity for Dalian people?
Xie Hui: Shenhua is a team with thick bench and integrated style. Therefore, Shenhua is a strong team from any angle. We will not slack off because of this. We need to make greater efforts and hope to achieve a good result.
Question 2: now because of the team’s record, there are many negative voices from the outside world. Will these voices of the head coach have an impact on the team?
Xie Hui: Our profession is to face all kinds of doubts. Getting out of difficulties is what every player and coach should do. It is useless to say more, we only have one game from the guaranteed area. In a sense, this is also the position of our real level, but we can also be better. Before the start of the season, we had such psychological preparation, and we did not achieve better results than expected. It seems that there are some voices saying that we are playing for nothing. I think this is biased.
