NANNING, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Mar, 2018 ) :Two days ahead of their match against Wales in the China Cup International Football Championship , China's coach Marcello Lippi Tuesday vowed to show the team's best in front of tough opponents.

"We know it's gonna be very hard. We have to face very strong teams from Europe and South America.

But it's only when you face someone stronger than you that you can achieve improvement and make it better and better," Lippi said at the pre-tournament press conference.

"There is still a gap between China and the teams like Wales and the Czech Republic. But the gap is getting smaller, as there is a big movement about football being carried out here in China," Lippi added.

Speaking of what they aim to achieve in the tournament, the Italian said that the results are very important and that all the players need to focus on is the game and be prepared for the 2018 Asian Cup.
