Steel Roses keeping a lid on expectations

As hopes rise that China's women's team could make a serious impact at next year's World Cup finals, coach Jia Xiuquan is endeavoring to keep expectations in check.

In Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Wang Shuang, China possesses one of the female game's premier talents. However his decades of experience in soccer have taught Jia that hype can count for little at the top level.

"The more I know about women's football, the greater pressure I feel," Jia told Xinhua in an exclusive interview during China's ongoing training camp in Australia.
