Jang Eui-ryong said in the pre-match press conference that he was looking forward to the next game as all the foreign players were in place. However, the foreign players haven't played games for four months, for which the coaching team would limit their playing time. Speaking of the team's U23 players, Jang Eui-ryong said, “our U23 players are impactful and hardworking. Judging from their performance in the first two games, I would like to give them more playing time.”

Chongqing Dangdai’s Captain Kardec was very excited and said that although the foreign players were the last to arrive, the team was now a complete family. Kardec said, “I will do my best to help the team get their first league win and get three points!” At 8:00 pm on August 7, Chongqing Dangdai Lifan Football Club will play against Hebei China Fortune Football Club in the third round of the Chinese Football Association Super League.
