Shui Qingxia, head coach of China women’s soccer team. Team China's best result at the World Cup was as runner-up in 1999.However, with the rapid development of women's soccer, especially in Europe, China's team is no longer a dominant force on the world stage.

A key focus of Shui's coaching team over the past few months has been improving the team's physical strength, in a bid to give her players a better chance against their streetwise European rivals.
