Football News wrote: “To defeat Chengdu Rongcheng, Zhejiang team’s key move was to freeze their Felipe. To this end, Zhejiang team arranged for Zhang Jiaqi, who has physical advantages and rich experience in the team, to mark Felipe, but the Brazilian forward in their lineup was in excellent form, giving Zhang Jiaqi two yellow cards in the first half, leading to his red card. When Zhang Jiaqi was sent off, Jordi on the sidelines was flushed with anxiety but could do nothing. However, after the short break at halftime, Jordi quickly calmed down. In fact, Zhang Jiaqi’s two yellow cards were a result of the whole team trying too hard to win the match, which had the opposite effect. In the second half, Jordi kept signaling his players to stay calm from the sidelines, and he also encouraged them not to give up. After the game, he did not further criticize Zhang Jiaqi.”
