Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 17 (Reporter Wang Haoyu, Gong Bing) The 2018 Chinese Super League is out of action, but Beijing Zhonghe Guoanzhong will not have a good rest, because the two round finals of the Football Association Cup are still waiting for them. On the 17th, after the fans' open day activity, Zhonghe Guoan coach Schmidt said that he would go all out to win the Football Association Cup.

On the same day, Beijing Zhonghe Guoan Club held an open day activity for fans in the infield of the Workers' Stadium, and 100 fans watched the first team training. After the training activities, the club also drew six lucky fans to hold a sharing meeting with Schmidt. This week, the first team of Zhonghe Guoan gathered again to prepare for the FA Cup final against Shandong Luneng. Although the preparation time was tight, the club held this event in order to repay the support of Beijing fans for the team and the club for the past year, and to shorten the distance between fans and the team without affecting the normal training of the team.

The cold in early winter did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans. During the more than one hour of training, the fans were always in high spirits. The club also specially prepared scarves and baby warmers for the fans to keep out the cold.

First team players Zhang Xizhe, Liu Guobo and head coach Schmidt were interviewed after the event. Zhang Xizhe said: "It's good to have more open days without affecting our normal preparations. For the fans, we will try our best to win the FA Cup."

Liu Guobo said that this is the first time he has participated in the fan open day activities since he joined Zhonghe Guoan, and he feels excited and happy. "The fans came to see our training. We were more excited and the confrontation was more intense during the training," he said.

Schmidt said: "With such a strong backing behind us, we will go all out to bring the champion back to Beijing."

"(Luneng) is indeed an equal opponent. They have performed very well this season and are close to our strength. The final decision to win the championship is that the two teams are on the spot. The league match we played in Shandong at home (1:1 draw) actually played very well, but it's a pity that they didn't score the goals they deserved. In this home game of the FA Cup, we hope to score more goals and win the first round. " Schmidt said.

The final of the Football Association Cup will be held on November 25 and 30, with Zhonghe Guoan playing host first and then visiting guests.
