China PR and Japan to battle for final World Cup ticket

Chonburi: China PR and Japan must brush off the disappointment of semi-final defeats and perform in a high-stakes AFC U-16 Women’s Championship third place play-off, which will send the winning team to the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2018 in Uruguay.

Chinese head coach Gao Hong said her players were still coming to terms with their 1-0 loss to DPR Korea, but backed them to learn from the defeat.

 “I think they’re still not fully recovered, and they’re still upset, still trying to understand it,” she said.

“But our team will be better after playing against DPR Korea. Playing against those teams gives more value, more feedback, more experience.”
