At the press conference before the game, head coach Li attended with new aid Fellaini, which also indicates that Fellaini will make his debut in the first round of the Super League. For Fellaini, Li still does not change his low-key style. He believes: "Fellaini is still adapting to the team and the players are also adapting to him. Undeniably, his characteristics are very prominent, which is a great threat to all teams in the Super League. I personally communicated with him and told him that the Super League was not easy to play. As long as he is ready, it will surprise the fans. "
Regarding another new signing, Li said: "I played for Luneng when I went to the Olympic Games, and we have evaluated this player. We didn't have enough young players in the back, so we introduced him. " And because Huang Cong was selected into the Olympic team, Luneng also got preferential policies to reduce the appearance of U23 players. As for other U23 players, Li said: "Duan, Tian and Tian Xin will show their offensive talent on the offensive end. With Zhao Jianfei in the centre-back, he may have a chance to play. Li Hailong made his league debut last year. These players are regular U23 lineups. "
Fellaini, who attended the conference with Li, also expressed his feelings after coming to Luneng. Fellaini said: "I've only been here for two weeks and I have a certain understanding of my teammates." I should adapt to the team as soon as possible and get to know every teammate as much as possible. I am ready now and give everything for this team. " From the words, we can see Fellaini's confidence in helping the team achieve good results. Regarding the first match before us, Fellaini said: "We trained well all week and the whole team worked hard. I was injured for a month before, and I worked harder than other players. Now my body has recovered and I am working hard to prepare for this game. " On the relationship with his current teammates, Fellaini talked about Pellet, who was once an opponent of the national team and the club. "Pellet is a very good person. He knows this club and this country very well. I feel that he is similar to China, which helps me a lot. His existence is very important. He has scored many important goals before. I am very grateful that he can be here. " Fellaini said.
In addition to the news of Li and Fellaini, Luneng also announced the status of 26 players in one breath. Luneng officially announced that four players, including Luo Andong, Song, and Allen Wu, have joined the team and will play with the team in the new season. In addition, as many as 22 players were sent off. Ma Shuai and Wu Xingyu lease Brazil DB Football Club, Tianjin Football Club, Wuhan Zall Football Club, Wang Jiong and Tian lease Beijing University of North Sport Football Club, Bai Tianci lease Kunshan Football Club, Tang Qirun and Kunming Football Club.

As for the first rival, Beijing Renhe, its head coach also expressed his views on Luneng at the press conference. Stano said: "Shandong Luneng is a strong opponent. Last year, we played against each other and got two draws, which was a good performance. Tomorrow is a tough battle, and we are fully prepared. " Because Stano once coached another Beijing team, Guoan, and he led the team to face Luneng three times and won a total victory. Meet again this time, Stano's words are more conservative. "Football is fickle, just like we are preparing for the game according to Geerdes's plan. Just now, we learned that Fellaini attended the press conference. " "Luneng will adopt the tactics of holding high and playing high. We will try our best to put the four players in the defense line on the premise and keep them away from the goal. " As for Renhe's new signings Aruco and Zhang, Stano said: "They just arrived at the team, and the running-in time with the team is not very long. They should be given some playing time tomorrow. We will still depend on the situation on the spot. "
