But I also know very well that they haven't lost at home for a long time. You just said it was over the past year, and I remember it was this data, right?
Yes, they have not lost at home in the league for more than a year. The last home defeat was a 0-1 loss to Burnley on September 14 last year.
For more than a year, sorry, I remember it for one year. That was really amazing. Actually, my analysis department gave me this data, and I remembered it wrong. It is obvious that their home record has been excellent thanks to their fans and home court advantages.
I think their start of the season gave the team great confidence. Their defense is extremely stable and they give almost no chance to their opponents in sports battles.
So we must have a clear understanding of this and understand that this will be a 90-minute tug-of-war, and various small setbacks need to be overcome during this period. But we are ready, we look forward to this game and will do our best to fight for three points.
Colo Muani will be on the roster tomorrow? In addition, how far is Takai Yukita from playing?
Kolo Muani will not be on the roster tomorrow. Gao Jing's condition is getting better and better. He has been training with the team for more than a week, and it has been about ten days. This is definitely a positive signal and I'm very happy about it.
Back to Bentankul's topic, you said he can make progress, and in what aspects do you think he has the potential to advance to new heights?
I am very satisfied with him as a player and his character. I think he is definitely one of the top midfielders in the Premier League when he plays at his best, but I want to see him come up with this top performance more consistently. I also hope - and I have told him personally - I hope he can dominate the game more and take the initiative to ask for the ball when the situation is difficult, because he has excellent ball holding ability, is very calm and calm, and can always catch the ball in a small space and successfully get it out. I hope to see him do this more, and that's the first point. In addition, he is fully capable of contributing more goals to the team. The more we can rely on him to control the midfield, the better the team will be.
Archie Gray performed very positively after making a substitute against Bord Shining. How much do you think he has grown after leaving Leeds United? Of course, he is still very young.
He is indeed very young. Last year he was at other clubs, and I certainly didn’t pay attention to him like I used a magnifying glass, but he got a lot of Premier League minutes, which is undoubtedly a good thing for his growth. Has he played for the left back? I remember he must have played right back, centre back and midfielder, he has accumulated a lot of game time and experience and has experienced some tough moments. And we all know that it is those tough times that drive us all to grow.
I appreciate this. I had a good impression of him during the preseason, and I really, really like him as a player. Sometimes, you just have to stick to what you are doing. He has been training very hard, especially last month, when I saw many highlights in him during training. He came on as a substitute against Bord Shining, which made a difference for the team. I think he did a great job against Doncaster, and learned a lot. The opponent's tactics in that game were specifically targeting our central defenders, so it was difficult for him to perform well in that situation, but in short, I really like everything about him.
