, suffered a blackout.
After the game, members of the media had their say:
Media personality Miao Yuan pointed out: "Brazil's physical fitness does not seem to be an advantage, this game we once had a chance to equalize the score, but eventually lost 0-5, there are really problems in the organization of the defense. Three days later we will face the World Cup runners-up, the Netherlands, who have a host of superstars, and we can only try to minimize the number of points we concede. Such a score is not good for China

The players' psychology is undoubtedly a huge blow, and the original plan was to try to beat Brazil, lose to Holland, and beat Zambia so as to advance to the last eight. But now it seems that getting out of the line is only a luxury, I'm afraid, we'd better play some more exciting goals."
Reporter Zuo Haitao said, "It's a shame that China missed too many chances, and Brazil's veterans are really experienced."
Zhan Jun commented, "The luck is really bad! The gap with Brazil is indeed large, be it individual ability, basic skills, tactical understanding and teamwork, but the actual gap is not as big as the scoreline suggests. If we could have gotten a goal back from 0-2 down, things could have been a little different. Both Miu Shiwen and Wang Shanshan (single and hit the post) had two great chances, and in the second half Zhang Xin hit the post once more, along with two crosses from her teammates. What we need to summarize is how to make up for the deficiencies? The absence of Wu Haiyan made the center back position obviously weak; the pace of the game was too fast and there were more mistakes; the midfield did not have a strong sense of cooperation when controlling the ball, the small range of passes was not skillful enough, and there were too many passes in the middle and long distances. To be sure, our physical fitness was superior, and the confrontation was quite healthy, when we were 0-2 down, we still had a lot of energy. But we conceded too many goals in our first loss, so I'm afraid we'll have to do our best to beat Zambia and draw with Holland if we want to get out of the group!"
Reporter Li Xuan said bluntly, "0-5, there were really a lot of losses today."
The 0-5 loss to Brazil was indeed a bit big, although we hit four goal frames, but overall we need to face the gap," said Yuxuan.

The players need to quickly adjust their mentality and prepare for the next game to try to stabilize the situation with a win over Zambia and finally face the Netherlands, who are stronger than Brazil, World Cup runners-up plus European Cup winners ......"
Reporter Sun Lei persuaded: "Do not be too important to face, win or lose is not important, the door frame are scored, euphemism is also a loss. Face up to the strength gap and continue to play well in the next game. It's just the first game, don't panic, don't reflect, don't get upset. Go China!

Reporter Shen Wei questioned, "Why did coach Jia start Li Qing pupil? It's really a mystery operation. Getting out of the lineup might just be a luxury."
