In the pre-match press conference, Yao Haoyu, Shenhua's promising young star, said: "We will definitely give our all to fight for victory, and we hope that through everyone's efforts, we will have a chance to advance. I feel that the previous two matches were still a bit tense, and I didn’t perform at my best. I think I only scored a passing grade at most. I hope that I can perform better in the upcoming matches."
