AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup
The 2006 champions side posted a convincing 3-0 against Vietnam on Wednesday, going two up via a Zheng Lu brace within a five-minute span in the first half and wrapping up with Zeng Yujia’s 77th minute strike.
Despite being happy with the three points, head coach Colin Bell expects an improved performance from his players against Bangladesh.
“We gave away the ball a lot against Vietnam,” said the Englishman. “Against Bangladesh, we will have to improve on keeping the ball, conserving energy and being more fluid.”

He will also take into consideration the humid weather and the fitness of his players.
“With the heat being a factor, maybe we will think about using our substitutions accordingly as Bangladesh are a fast team and have a lot of energy.
“We also have some injury concerns, which will be something I have to think about when introducing fresh legs. While all players are important, some players are very important.”

Bangladesh team captain Arpita Biswas echoed Bell, saying her team would need to improve if they are to have any hope of securing their first AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup win.
“Our finishing could have been better (against Thailand), and this is something we can learn from,” said the 17-year-old defender. ”We’ll take those lessons forward and hopefully, do better.
“We will also work on correcting our mistakes and prepare well to face China PR.”
