Views on being selected for the national team:
Barton: "Definitely, I want to be selected for the national team again. In the previous period, I didn't make it due to my own state. I hope this time I can adjust well and be selected again."
Feelings about playing against former team:
Barton: "I think the last time was probably the first time I came back, so I was a bit nervous or something. This time, maybe with age, I have matured slowly, and I feel this time coming back is a different feeling, showing that I have matured and grown. Last year was more exciting because it was the first time coming back, and I didn't expect to score a goal. Today, it was close, but Jiakai defended too well."
Assessment of the situation for Tianjin TEDA:
Barton: "I think I still need to perform better and help the team get out of the recent difficulties. Because we haven't been able to get points in this period, other teams are catching up. I think we need to have a certain sense of urgency, adjust our state, and win the upcoming matches."
