As night falls in Beijing, the Chinese team will meet Japan on the field of Saitama Arena in Tokyo tomorrow at 6:00 pm sharp, which will be another matchup in the same group after their first round in the 12-team tournament. And at 4.30pm on the 26th, a pre-match press conference will kick off, where head coach Li Xiaopeng and captain Wu Xi will make a joint appearance.
Facing the challenge of playing away from home, captain Wu Xi expressed his views: "Playing away from home against Japan, we know that the support of our fans is a boost for our opponents and a challenge for us. But this is also where the opportunity lies. It's been a long time since we've played in front of many fans, and this will be a boost to our mentality and excitement, which are undoubtedly both positive factors. We will certainly give it our all and aim to capitalize on every opportunity."
