In the FA Cup quarter-finals, Beijing Guoan lost 1-2 away to Shanghai Shenhua and missed the top 4. After the game, Guoan head coach Suarez said that his team had strange situations in the last 2 games, and he couldn’t control some factors outside the game, seemingly a counterattack against the controversial refereeing in the game.
Although Guoan lost 1-2, Suarez said that Beijing Guoan’s performance was better than their opponents, but they failed to grasp many opportunities.
Suarez was then asked about the topic of being sacked (whether there were performance requirements in his contract), but Suarez said that he didn’t care about these things, “These things are not important to me, what matters is that Guoan shows its own strength, that my players participate in the game in the best state, and play exciting games. Today everyone saw that we played a wonderful game, sometimes I am also quite curious about some of the outside comments, but my thoughts are not on these.”
Suarez then reiterated that Guoan missed a lot of opportunities, “Shenhua is a great team, they are fighting for the championship, we showed our strength on the opponent’s home ground, we also had many opportunities, unfortunately we didn’t win the game.”
In response to the controversial refereeing in the game, Suarez also seemed to make a response, “We have had some strange situations in the last 2 games, I don’t understand, we scored in the 92nd minute, but we should have scored earlier, but why couldn’t we score? Unfortunately, I can’t control other factors. You can see our performance.”
Suarez believes that with Guoan’s performance in this game, they can definitely be in the top 3 of the league, “With Guoan’s performance in this game, we can be in the top 3 of the league. What other teams can have such a performance on Shenhua’s home ground?”
Regarding not starting Cao Yongjing, Suarez also responded, “Cao Yongjing is a very good player, but he needs to have better cooperation with his teammates, he will definitely become a great player in the future.”
