Liu Haofan: The whole team is holding back their energy when playing against South Korea, and they will be more confident when playing against strong teams in the future.

6686 Sports News on November 15th In the second round of the Panda Cup round-robin tournament that ended tonight, the U22 Chinese team defeated the U22 South Korean team 2-0. In this game, Baihe Lamu scored twice to help the team easily defeat the opponent. After the game, Liu Haofan, captain of the U22 Chinese team, accepted an interview with reporters.

The Korean team also put a lot of pressure on us, so how do you evaluate the team's performance on the field today?

"Well, after we lost the main game in the first game, the whole team thought that we must win this game. Then everyone stayed motivated because we defeated them years ago. So we felt that they might not be able to defeat us, so we all held back a lot of energy. I’m excited, I think I can win this game.”

The coach also said that the Korean team is the strongest opponent in Asia among the same age group, so we defeated such a strong opponent twice during the year. Does it make you more confident in preparing for the next Asian Cup?

"Yes, I will definitely be more confident, because South Korea, whether it is U22 or other age groups, is definitely a strong team among its peers. Then we will definitely have to face them. We will definitely follow the core players' play style. The team's five-back strategic play style has only recently started to be used, and then we also used them as an experiment. So I feel very confident when facing these strong teams."
