Liu Haofan: The degree of running-in has not yet reached the coach’s requirements, and the loss of the ball is not due to one person.
6686 Sports News on November 13 At 19:35 on November 12th, Beijing time, in the Panda Cup International Invitational Tournament, the Chinese U22 men's football team lost 0-1 to Vietnam U22. After the game ended, Liu Haofan, the captain of the Chinese U22 team, was interviewed.
Evaluate the team's performance in this game from your own perspective?
Our coach told us before the game that this game will definitely be difficult. I think the overall performance was pretty good, but maybe our training session was relatively short. Most of us only rested for a week or so, and then we just ran in for two or three days. Then we looked very familiar with each other, so we may not have met the coach's requirements.
Did your teammates’ physical fitness drop a bit in the second half?
Right, more than 60 minutes, because we have to take about a week off after the league matches. When we reach 60 or 70 minutes, our physical fitness is close to the limit. Then because we are playing in the National Games, many people in the substitute area are injured and cannot play. It is a loss for us.
Now the lineup is uneven and there are very few people on the bench. How does the coach encourage you?
Yesterday the coach told us that everyone who joins this team is not divided into core players and reserve players. They must contribute to the team.
The next game against South Korea may have more uniform players. How should we deal with it?
I think it’s better to look at the coach’s analysis, because I have always said that we need to look at the coach’s analysis. Every time we analyze the opponent, we can know the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent, and then accurately implement the coach’s requirements, we will be very combative and compete with every team.
Let’s talk about the goals conceded by the team
I think the goals conceded cannot be determined by the last few players. Our physical fitness has dropped a lot since the beginning. Why can the opposite party pass in from the beginning? Why does it appear in this place? I think this is a problem for the whole team, not just a few of us, or Wang Shiqin's last mistake or something. I think it's not just a problem for one person.
