China 'must play a patient game'

By Xinhua in Berlin | China Daily | Updated: 2018-02-22 07:46

Former Guangzhou Evergrande youth coach Marco Pezzaiuoli is urging China to be patient in its bid for success on the international stage.

Since 2015, the country has been rolling out a government-backed reform plan to transform the national team into a soccer superpower by 2050.

A fifth successive failed World Cup qualification attempt last year showed just how far China has to go to reach that goal, and Pezzaiuoli is cautioning fans not to expect instant results.
