on the evening of september 7, the chinese men's football team continued training on the outside field of dalian soyuwan football stadium.

after coach ivankovic said a day ago that the team must rebound as soon as possible, central defender jiang shenglong and attacker baihramu also said in an interview with the media that the team must face saudi arabia with confidence and strive to achieve a good result.

jiang shenglong said that the team is trying its best to get rid of the mood of a big defeat. "such a defeat is of course frustrating, but i don't think we can dwell on it for too long, because the next game will be more important than this one. our most important task now is to perform better in the next game."

he admitted that the pace of the round of 18 was indeed much faster than before. "the level of the japanese team is indeed very high. we were led by them throughout the game. they played very concisely, and their tacit understanding of passing the ball quickly to each other was also very good. the team's counter-attack was also done in a timely manner. i really learned a lot."

jiang shenglong believes that after the training of this game, "i believe the team will be able to better adapt to this high-intensity and fast-paced confrontation, and will be able to do better in the match against the saudi team."

regarding the match against saudi arabia, jiang shenglong admitted that the team needs to improve on the details. in the match between china and japan, the chinese team was broken by the opponent's corner kick pick-and-roll cooperation in the 12th minute of the first half. such a situation obviously needs to be avoided. "the head coach will make some arrangements and strengthen training in the next two days."

it is reported that left back liu yang missed the training on the evening of the 7th due to illness, and center back zhu chenjie did not participate in the team training, but walked slowly in another field accompanied by staff. however, the national team said that zhu chenjie is fine and should be able to catch up with the match against saudi arabia next tuesday.

before the training the day before, ivan asked the players to sit in a circle and spoke to them individually. before the training on the 7th, it was the captain wu lei who spoke to the players. restoring self-confidence is the most important thing before the china-saudi arabia match. the encouragement from the head coach and the captain is also a way to boost the morale of the players.

baihramu said that the team must face saudi arabia with confidence. "after losing that game, i felt really uncomfortable, but we must get over it as soon as possible. i feel that everyone has slowly adjusted in the past two days. after all, there is still a game against saudi arabia next, and we must adjust our mentality and state as soon as possible."

in the u20 asian cup held in march 2023, the chinese men's football u20 team defeated the saudi team 2-0. baihem, who participated in the game at that time, said that he was not afraid of the next opponent.

"first of all, we must dare to fight against them. west asian players like to fight against you. once you are afraid or relaxed, they will think you are not good enough, so you must dare to fight against the saudi team. from my current mentality, i feel confident that i can beat this opponent."
