On October 13, the night was low, China U-17 Women's Football Team defeated Mexico U-17 Women's Football Team by a narrow margin of 2-1 in the first round of group matches of the U-17 Women's Football World Cup. Yin Lihong was honored as the best player of the match for her outstanding performance. After the match, Wang Anzhi, the head coach of our U-17 national women's soccer team, talked about his feelings after the match in front of the camera.
-- How do you feel about the players being slightly nervous after the start and then gradually adjusting their form?
After all, this is the team's first time on the world stage, and nerves at the start are inevitable. I have repeatedly emphasized in daily training that the players should have the awareness of running without the ball, quickly counter-strike, communicate and encourage each other after losing the ball. The results of these habitual trainings helped them find a breakthrough in adversity.
-- And what is your assessment of the team's play on a technical and tactical level?
Our fighting spirit was quite abundant and our spirit was very positive, inheriting the spirit of the 'resounding rose'. However, at the technical and tactical level, we did not fully achieve the expected results. We will seriously summarize our experience and make better preparation for the coming matches.
