In the upcoming qualifying match, the Tianjin team will face the Sichuan team.

Liu Hao said bluntly: “We have played against the Sichuan team twice this season, and we are familiar with each other. When it comes to the qualifying stage, all teams hope to strive for a better ranking. We must also fully mobilize. We must restrain the opponent and try to show a better mental outlook and competitive state than the opponent.”
