camacho told the team to be more aggressive: aggressiveness has been lacking in team china, and camacho wants the players to get the ball once they have been dispossessed. he said the players need more incentive to get the ball, and by that, he don't expect the players to beat the crap out of the opponent (or break one's leg).

http://www.goal.com/en/match/80426/spain-vs-china/preview Oh goal.com's line up for China is amazing. Who the fcuk is Xhao ???? They listed Zheng Zheng as the player to watch, I bet Sun Xiang will start haha.
i think Xhao is a typo, it should be Zhao Xuri, and sun xiang will most likely start. typical goal.com, stupid editor.
I would have though they'd tell people to watch out for Gao Lin or Zheng Zhi (he's not playing though, right?) But what happened to Yang Zhi?
injured during a regional friendly (guangzhou vs. hong kong --- yang zhi is from guangzhou). at least out for six months since january. zheng zhi will most likely play due to his experience and seniority.

Real Betis announced that the team will be going to China from July 8th to 22nd. They will visit Nanning (not Nanjing) and Shenzhen. Zheng Zhi and Camacho were invited to take the photo. Not sure what Real Betis will do in China, perhaps playing a couple of friendly games or so, but they need to be aware that not much Chinese fans know much about Real Betis.
did marca find the chinese players thru wiki or something? while they did a good job not getting the players name wrong, but they need to do a little research. chen tao is injured, peng xinli and jin jingdao are not included in the roster.
They even get the Spain team wrong sometimes so don't get your hopes up about them getting China's team correct haha.
Translated from Marca: Camacho has made clear that Spain is "far superior to China in all aspects", but remains confident in his team who's match against Spain "is very important" and they must do well because, "there are times when some teams lower their level and others raise theirs." In addition to Spain "not taking any match as a friendly", he declared that "it is very hard to play" against them because they "have control of the ball the whole match and the rival team must mark them tightly." He considered that "for things to become more even, Spain must have a bad game while China must have a great game", and has guaranteed that, despite the "huge difference" that exists, his players "will come out with a lot of enthusiasm" Camacho went to the Asian country "mentally prepared" for change. "China is evolving with its league, it wants to be competitive, but it is hard. It is working hard and watching how the professional world of football works in order to implement new elements into the league and the national team" he said. Meanwhile, China's team captain, Zheng Zhi, has highlighted Spain's potential and that for China it is "a good opportunity to play and enjoy this match" because they can "learn a lot." http://www.marca.com/2012/06/02/futbol/eurocopa_2012/espana/1338659646.html
Teehee. Gao Lin thought to himself: "1) Observe Zheng Zhi. 2) Crash Zhang Chengdong's legs. 3) Bury his best friend Yu Dabao. 1+2+3) Undisputed first choice striker of Team China".
STARTING ELEVEN: Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng Defenders: Zhao Peng (yay), Feng Xiaoting (most likely will get injured seconds before the match), Sun Xiang Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Qin Sheng, Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi, Yu Hai Forward: Gao Lin
oops i forgot to type defenders LOL. zhang chengdong is sub. probably talking to yu dabao thinking what a douchebag gao lin can be at times.
