Zhang Jiaqi: the match with the harbor is the best warm-up before the Asian Championship. We must continue to work hard to return to the national team.
Live Bar, August 14 today, Zhejiang team midfield Zhang Jiaqi accepted an exclusive interview with Football News. In the interview, he talked about the game of 4-3 victory over Shanghai harbor in the last round, and talked about his future.
Q: Many people did not expect that Zhejiang team defeated the leader Shanghai Harbor yesterday. Looking back on this game, how do you evaluate it?
A: It’s a wonderful game. We all enjoy the game more than the result. The harbor is a very good team. Playing with them is equivalent to the best warm-up match before our team played the Asian championship play. The whole team is especially cherished and excited.
Q: Did you take the harbor as your Asian crown opponent? Why do you have such an idea? What special arrangements does coach Jody have?
A: The harbor is the Asian Champions League team, and our team is going to play the Asian Champions League play-off. At this time, everyone will do their best to play the game with the harbor, and they will not be careless. Apart from the domestic league, if measured in the Asian Champions League, this game is the best warm-up match. From the Super League table, the harbor is much ahead of us, and the outcome of this game will not have any subversive influence on our ranking, so everyone is very relaxed. I think the harbor is also playing more relaxed, they also need to prepare for the Asian Championship, and they must also practice more attacking terminals, so both sides scored more goals in this game.
Q: You have fought with Wu Lei before. After Wu Lei returned to the foreign country, do you think he has changed?
A: There must be changes, but it has become stronger. A player like Wu Lei not only stayed abroad and played in the five major leagues, but also one of the best players in this position in China. His ability has increased in all directions.
Q: There is a saying that when playing with the harbor team, pay attention to Zhang Linying at the back, guard Oscar at the middle, and stare at Wu Lei at the front. In theory, but the reality is not easy to do, then what is the main responsibility that the coach gives you?
A: The harbor is not just these good players. I think the harbor is at the national team level and is not easy to deal. We are team football, and more importantly, we play team strength. For example, when I am in the midfield, I want to form a protective net with my teammates to delay the opponent’s attack speed and do a good job in attack and defense conversion.
Q: yesterday when the team was 1 to 3 behind, I was worried about whether there would be two ideas on the court, but the Zhejiang team seemed to be quite unified. They were not afraid of losing more, but they just wanted to come back. Why are people’s beliefs so unified?
A: This is related to the team’s previous game experience. We have experienced the situation of falling behind caused by scoring goals many times before. We have experienced the situation of falling behind and then playing back, and we have also experienced the situation of falling behind and not coming back, so we don’t panic any more. Generally speaking, coach Jody does not allow his team to lose less than further narrow the score difference when they fall behind. The purpose of the game is to win, even if the score cannot be recovered, the spiritual level cannot lose.
Q: When it comes to coach Jody, there is an outside saying that you are one of his beloved players, and you have enjoyed the second spring of your sports career under him. What do you think?
A: You can’t say that. The rumors outside are inaccurate. I don’t even know where my first spring is or where my second spring comes from? It is because he knows my characteristics better and I like the atmosphere of Zhejiang team. I found a particularly good feeling in my career here.
Q: In the past career, do you think you have left any regrets?
A: No, I think everything is the best arrangement. When I still love football and can play, I can come to Zhejiang team and integrate into the team. I have no regrets.
Q: What are your expectations for your future? Like returning to the national team?
A: The national team will always be attractive to me. If possible, I will certainly be willing to be more selected by the national team, so I will continue to work hard.
