Victory helps accumulate confidence
Wu Lei: Everyone is very excited and looking forward to the game. The new stadium and enthusiastic fans have brought us great motivation during the game.
Wu Lei: At the beginning of the first training session, the head coach instilled in us his overall tactical philosophy. As for us, the players can understand it very well. Although there have been changes in personnel, the overall team's skills, tactics, and framework are still in place. So I think every player, no matter who they are, can quickly find the rhythm when playing in their own position because everyone can understand the coach's tactics.
Wu Lei: What I have been pleased with for so many years is that I have been able to maintain a good state every year without any significant fluctuations. This year's league is the same. The national team was the first to score a goal at home this year, and it will give me and the whole team a lot of confidence in their future matches
Wu Lei: These two matches must be played well, not only the score, but also the process is very important, because in the future qualifiers, we may encounter similar opponents. We need to accumulate confidence in such games and give our opponents some psychological pressure in formal matches, which is very important.
Scoring records are not important
Wu Lei: As I get older, I do recover slower than when I was young, but personally, I can adapt to this pace of competition and have a good performance in it. After the league is over, the national team will have one week, and there will be matches the day after tomorrow. Maintain good recovery, rest well, sleep and eat well, I think there is no problem at all.
Wu Lei: We don't need too much training between us. On the field, everyone knows and understands each other very well, and there is no need for too much communication. Because on the field, I think we have a very good understanding of each other's characteristics, and I am very happy that he can return to the national team. Although he didn't score a goal against Myanmar, it has played a very big role in our tactical system.
Wu Lei: I saw this news online, and for me, the number and record of goals are not important. I think the most important thing is to do my best in every game and help the team win.
I watched the previous game, but I may not have time for the second one. I'm very happy, today is Father's Day. Although I can't be with my family, as a player, we're used to this rhythm. In the game against Myanmar, there should have been many players' families and children witnessing the victory on site, because the weekend is worth it.
