In the 29th round, Changchun Yatai played against Beijing Guoan at home. According to the "Tiantian Sports" column, Yatai coach Suarez attended the press conference before the game and stated that the team must win this game.

Talk about preparations for war.

Suarez: This game is very important. The league has also reached the final stage. It is difficult for the opponent to play. They have many capable players. I believe that at our home court, with the help and support of the fans, we will play with all our strength. We hope to win through our good performance, and hope to achieve the goal of relegation through our efforts in the future.

Ciprian: We have also made regular training preparations this week. Everyone in our club knows the importance of this game, but we still hope to prepare for this game with as little pressure as possible. Everyone of us is ready.

There was a problem with the defense of set pieces in the last game. Have you made any reinforcements this week?

Suarez: In the last set-piece game, we didn’t win in the end. In fact, we also had targeted training in training. But we must also realize that the problem we have is because we have one less player, and our forwards are currently unable to play the entire game due to their physical fitness, so we can only ensure competition on the field through substitutions. Moreover, in the last game we played with less and more for a long time, and our opponents also seized this opportunity to score goals when our physical fitness was declining. However, we can see that although we are in last place, we conceded fewer goals, especially set-piece goals, than many teams.

This season, the team has been unable to hold on at the last moment many times. If you take the lead in this game, what targeted arrangements will be made?

Suarez: It is true that the team has experienced many such situations. We conceded goals at the last moment and lost the points we should have scored. But we also have to look at the game against Manatee. We can even the score when we are behind. In many games, we are given a long stoppage time, and sometimes we have to play more with less. Of course, we must also consider that many goals conceded in stoppage time are lost in the added time after stoppage time. What I want to say is: we will fight until the last minute.

How do you evaluate the recent performance of the Guoan team?

Suarez: I know these players very well. Of course, as Beijing Guoan, they also know me very well. So in this regard, everyone is on an equal footing, so for Yatai, our goal is to win. Although we respect Guoan 100%, in order to achieve the goal of relegation, Yatai must win tomorrow.
