"Taiwan were beaten 2-0 by strongly fancied Japan in the group phase but were by no means outclassed. They gave Japan a very difficult game and then went on to win their next two matches, so we know this will be a tough proposition. But if we execute our game plan and perform to the level we know we can, that should be enough for us to get the result."
"Taiwan compete under the name Chinese Taipei in international sports events. It is part of a political compromise with China that allows the island to take part in major competitions without presenting itself as a sovereign nation. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory."
"If we follow a clear process, remain calm and confident and take it one game at a time, we can be successful and hopefully go further in the tournament."
China's women's football team prepares for a quarterfinal match against Taiwan at the Women's Asian Cup in Perth, with coach Ante Milicic emphasizing the importance of executing their game plan while remaining calm and confident. Taiwan has demonstrated significant improvement throughout the tournament, holding strongly favored Japan to a 0-0 draw in the first half of their group stage match before winning their subsequent two games. The match carries political significance, as Taiwan competes under the name Chinese Taipei due to a political compromise with China. Taiwan's coach Prasobchoke Chokemor expressed confidence in his team's ability to compete against top-level players. Both teams have received strong support at the tournament in Australia, though controversy emerged when a former Taiwan coach was ejected for leading a nationalist chant, prompting a protest from Taiwan's foreign ministry.
