Tianjin Quanjian Matchday Eve Training (Official Practice & Official P

AFC Champions League 2018 Quarterfinal 2nd Leg vs Tianjin Quanjian: Official practice was scheduled for today at the Estádio Campo Desportivo, the venue for tomorrow's match. However, due to the effects of Typhoon Mangkhut (No. 22), the practice venue was changed to the University of Macau's ground to preserve the pitch condition. The official practice began at 4 p.m.

Trees around the University of Macau were blown down by the wind, and there was a risk of falling debris, so the stands were off-limits.

Practice was held under the watchful eye of TD Zico, who had rushed from Brazil to join the team. Only the first 15 minutes were open to the media.

During the 15 minutes open to the media, the team performed warm-ups followed by possession training.

After the official practice, an official press conference was held at 6 p.m. at the Estádio Campo Desportivo, with Manager Oiwa and Yuma Suzuki in attendance.
