Sharing before the semi-final, coach Chang Wei Wei Wei of Wuhan Jiangda wants his students to turn the pressure of playing at home into motivation to aim for victory, winning tickets to the final match.
He said: "We really appreciate the opportunity to play at this stage and will try our best to ensure we can play the best in the match.
This is the first time we have participated at the Asian level and because we want to achieve the best results, we will definitely go along with some pressure.
However, we want to use this pressure to give the players more motivation. To win, we have to show many strengths and find ways to minimize mistakes.
In the quarter-finals, Wuhan Jiangda defeated Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies club, after a penalty shootout with a score of 6-5.
One of the best players for Wuhan at that time was striker Tereza Engesha, who had ideal physique and fitness.
Mr. Chang Wei Wei hopes that this striker will continue to make a difference in the match against the HCMC women's team.
Meanwhile, captain Yao Wei admitted that Wuhan Jiangda did not play impressively in the group stage, but has since made remarkable progress.
Entering the semi-final match against the HCMC women's team, she hoped the home team would play better, thereby entering the final to compete for the championship.
Yao Wei said: As a local player from Wuhan, this is the first time we have played at the Asian level and we want to enjoy this by winning the championship right at home in front of the fans.
We are very happy to have reached the semi-finals and will do our best to show the best performance on the field to win the match.
The semi-final match of the Asian Cup C1 between Ho Chi Minh City Women's Club and Wuhan Jiangda will take place at 15:00 on May 21.
