In the pre-match conference for the first round of the Olympic qualifying play-offs, head coach Jia Xiuquan bluntly stated that the two women's soccer teams have been ranked equally by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in the past decade, each with their own unique characteristics. He looks forward to leading the team to the Olympics with confidence.

Jia Xiuquan recalled that several meetings between China and South Korea have already been postponed, and our players are eager to win through hard work. He mentioned that the strength of the Korean women's soccer team is not to be underestimated, despite the fact that they beat the South Korean team 1:0 in the Four-Nation Tournament in Meizhou. He said, "I have appeared in the Olympics as a player and now I would like to win the Olympic ticket together with the players as a coach."

In response to the "extra tests" of the South Korean side at the time of entry, Jia Xiuquan said he had no complaints about the inconvenience of the entry procedure, and considered it a sign of responsibility of the South Korean government and the epidemic prevention department to both sides. He thanked the Korean side for their serious work.
