Women’s World Cup 2023: China star says ‘we are no role models’ after World Cup thrashing

The Hindu  

Tearful Chinese star Wang Shuang said her team were “not particularly good role models” after they were dumped out of the Women’s World Cup with a 6-1 humiliation at the hands of England. China was once a leading power in women’s football, but its heyday, when it came fourth in 1995 and reached the final four years later, now looks like a long time ago. “We are not particularly good role models,” Wang, fighting back tears, told reporters in Adelaide after China’s World Cup came crashing down at the group stage for the first time. “And we also hope that the domestic coaches can try to cultivate children who can play so that they will not be so embarrassed when they play for the national side in the future.” The Asian champion was edged 1-0 by Denmark in its opening game, conceding in the 89th minute, and then it survived for an hour with 10 players in a 1-0 win over Haiti thanks to a Wang penalty.
