About this game
Xu Genbao: "(Our) arrangement in the first half was to defend him first and consume their energy. Then we made some adjustments and then attacked him. In fact, we didn't have a chance. Let's talk about the competition between third and fourth place. Han Peng came to see me just now, and I said let's let the game go. Last year we won second place in the three major ball competitions in Changsha, and Shandong won A gold medal is far behind a silver medal and a bronze medal, but a bronze medal is better than no medal."
Take the initiative to take responsibility after the game

It should be said that we only had one month in such a short period of time. Kuai Jiwen, Li Xinxiang, Wang Yifan and Liu Chengyu only reported here on the 7th. The main thing to consider after that is how to knead these people's hearts together. After losing to Guangdong, I told them, don't cry, you still have to play football and work hard. I said, my goal is to hit the gold medal, I did not achieve it, the responsibility lies with me. He is also the coach of the National Games team, which should be said to be very good. We (coaches) need a long time to practice. I thought about it at the time, and I have been a coach for nearly 50 years. When the Olympic team was in Kuala Lumpur, the loss was a psychological burden, and the pressure came from the people of the country. At that time, I said that I could not bear this responsibility.
