In upcoming Women's World Cup action:
China and Cameroon prepare to clash as the tournament's knockout stage kicks off.
Chinese coach Hao Wei says, while Cameroon are fierce on offense, their lack of defense will give China an edge.
Hao was sent off during his squad's final Group A encounter against New Zealand for interfering with the match and is suspended from the coming match.
But Chinese captain, Wu Haiyan says with the gameplan already laid out, Hao's absence won't impede team China:
"We have a coaching team and every coach is working together with us for every match, not just our head coach.
Nevertheless, our head coach has delivered his game strategy in training, so we can carry out his game plan in the competition, if not necessarily with his presence by the field."
Cameroon made history in qualifying for the round 16 after beating Ecuador and Sweden. Their captain, Christine Nanie, says that, if they stick to the gameplan, Cameroon will continue their impressive run:
"We have to stay focus and we have to keep together. If we follow the coach's advice, it can work and it's what happened. What we achieved here is history and we are making history. We are happy to be here and we can dream about quarter final, why not?"
China and Cameroon will be the day's second knockout stage match tomorrow. The action begins when Germany clash against Sweden.
