On August 22, Serginho was interviewed after Beijing Guoan drew 3-3 with Yunnan Yukun.

Serginho said: “It was a difficult week. We played three tough matches, and everyone gave their all in those games. During the matches, we were first pegged back after taking the lead, then scored a third goal, but our opponents once again seized their opportunity in the final stage. We still have many matches ahead, and we hope to learn from this game and perform better in the upcoming matches, because we still have the Chinese FA Cup and AFC Champions League games.”
He added: “Playing three matches in a week is a huge challenge for any player because it consumes a lot of energy. This week we have been focusing on recovery. What we are thinking about now is to recover well and prepare for the match against Dalian Yingbo.”
