China to attack Cameroon's flawed defence - Coach

China head coach Hao Wei said on Friday that his side will grasp any chance to attack Cameroon’s flawed defence in their final-16 tie of the Women’s World Cup.

China will play with Cameroon at the Commonwealth stadium on Saturday, and Hao is confident of his side’s chances.

“We did not play against Cameroon over those years, we studied their play of the recent three World Cup games and made a meticulous analysis of them. We have found the way to deal with them,” he said.

He was impressed by Cameroon’s attack but not their defence.

“They performed well in the group games, their attack was strong, but I think they have a flawed defence and we will take advantage of that,” Hao said.

Hao will serve a one-game touchline ban after he was expelled in the last game against New Zealand. He said he believed his matured players could manage without his presence.

“I was very pleased to see that my players has matured a lot after three World Cup games. So though I will be absent from the bench, I am sure my players can be good enough to cope with it,” he said.
