June 1 According to Beijing Youth Sports, on the evening of June 1, the Chinese men's football team continued to prepare for the last two rounds of the 18th match in the rain at the SAIC Pudong Football Stadium. Before the training began, Zhang Yuning accepted an interview with the media.

Zhang Yuning said: "(the team) has entered a state of preparing for a life-and-death battle. For us, this is the last game, and there is only the option of victory."

Zhang Yuning then mentioned "pressure" and said: "We must convert away pressure into motivation, actively show what we are in training, unite together, and help maximize the characteristics of teammates around us."

Zhang Yuning also expressed his views on the tactical intentions of the coaching team, and he said: " I think we have basically shown what the head coach has deployed in training. But on the court, the team still needs to adapt to the situation. From the first minute to the last minute, we only have the option of attack. We have foreseeed the pressure facing the game, because we have been preparing for the past two months. I think everyone has adjusted well and is ready to face the Indonesian team. We have also made arrangements for set pieces, and we will make adjustments according to the opponent's situation at that time."
