Zheng Zhi’s fitness a concern
Print Edition
CHINA boss Alain Perrin is sweating on the fitness of his own captain, Zheng Zhi, after the skipper was substituted complaining of back pain in Sunday’s 2-1 win over North Korea in Canberra.
The 2013 Asian player of the year is seen as crucial to his side’s chances of winning a first Asian Cup.
China finished with a perfect three wins out of three in Group B, two of them in Brisbane, and largely thanks to the goals of Sun Ke. The winger has netted three times, including a spectacular winner against Uzbekistan.
“Of course Australia are a very strong team and this time they are the hosts,” Sun said. “I’m sure the next match will be very difficult for us. But we just need to do what we should do. I think if we can focus on the game, and keep our concentration to make sure we pay attention to every detail, I think we can leave the pitch having performed well.”
