Instead of Li Weifend, Zheng Zhi and Sun Jihai will be captains of the Chinese NT in the upcoming Asian Cup. http://sports.sina.com.cn/n/2007-06-25/09353000485.shtml
NT coach Zhu Guanghu is emotional during press conference, insisting on taking full responsibility. 朱广沪情绪激动地阐述了两点,第一,两年多来,他的工作没有受到任何干扰,用他自己的话说就是“完全一个人说了算”;第二,本届亚洲杯赛,他希望能够承担一切责任,不希望有任何一点点的声音去影响球员们在球场上的发挥。 http://sports.sina.com.cn/n/2007-06-25/18373001559.shtml
I think he has always said he wants to be the "stepping stone" for Chinese football. It sounds humble and honest but also shows how confident he is.
im waiting for the security ivestigation. AFC said they gonna send me an email, if im authorize or not so just waiting, but in firts i get the email for approval, just need this thing.
so Seb, are going to fly to KL, Malaysia when they approve ur credentials?. or are you already in the region. i look foward to ur updates!
1st i need to see if i can have the paper, 2nd i will need to fly over ther, but that is not a pb. in case i can't go overthere i will go to rotterdam anyway
that's good. we hope u will get approved. in the mean time, prepare urself, for the heat, lol. Maybe bring some banners along.

i think china squad will lose to iran and make 2nd in group D and meet and win saudi arabia in group c, thus make it to the quarter-final, when encountering australia or japan in the semi-final, we will get a game-over

It's true. But I think Saudis still play the Brazilian style, more technical than physical. From what I saw in the last world cup, Saudis still have problems playing against speedy and physical side.
He hasn't done very well with all the friendlies no doubt. But he's showing flexibility and seems to have picked a good squad this time. Let's see how good he does when it counts.
Can this really be called confidence? With his recent performances combined with China's success the last time around, anything less than a semifinals appearance and I think its a foregone conclusion that Zhu will be fired... I was considering going over for the group stages, but due to visa issues and my mother's travel plans, I'm stuck watching in China (though I will definitely be posting and possibly blogging on them)...That said, if China advances, I may have to make the trip over for the later rounds...
Either way I'm pumped. Haven't seen China with its best squad for a while. Now I'm hoping Zhu would actually let Dong play Hao Haidong's position.
