On Tuesday, the 19th, hosts China will have their first match of the Asian Games, going head-to-head with India in Hangzhou.
As the hosts, the Chinese team has been aiming for the gold medal before the tournament, as they occupy the right place and the right time in this year's event. The team also deliberately arrived in Hangzhou early for training and to try to adapt to the venue, which fully demonstrates the great importance they attach to this tournament. The squad not only includes regulars from the Chinese Super League, such as Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie, who play for Shanghai Shenhua, and Han Jiaqi from Beijing Guoan, but also Wu Shaochong, who has traveled to Turkey to play in the Turkish league, among other strong players.
