As the head coach, Chang Wei hopes that players like Wang Shuang can play a key role in major games in the best condition. Wang Shuang also used her performance to repay the expectations of the head coach and the outside world, and it was she who scored with her trademark world wave in the semi-finals, setting the tone for the team to reach the final.

Before this final, Chang Wei, head coach of Wuhan Chegujiang University Women's Football Team, told reporters that due to the short interval between the semi-finals and the final, the team is committed to adjusting its body with all its might, hoping to have the best condition during the game: "We are very much looking forward to the showdown with the Melbourne City Women's Football Team, the team will not be afraid of any opponent, and will do its best to let go." Looking at the characteristics of the Melbourne City women's football players, they have excellent physical qualities, but our coaching staff and Wuhan women's football players are prepared for the most difficult situations, whether the game is 90 minutes or 120 minutes, the team is ready. ”

Regarding the situation of Yao Wei, the captain of the Wuhan women's football team, who is concerned by the outside world, Chang Weiwei said: "Yao Wei, who has returned from injury, has made active preparations and may play at any time in the final. ”

Speaking about the final, Wu Haiyan said: "We have the ability to win this trophy for Wuhan and show the style of our Chinese women's football players. I'm going to face the game with a more consistent mindset with my team-mates. ”

Despite playing away from home, Melbourne City Women's head coach Matricciani is not bothered, "We have analysed the footage of Wuhan Women's Football Team matches in past league and AFC Champions League matches, and focused on the Wuhan Women's Football Team and Urawa Red Diamonds. He said.

Matriciani said: "We have three or four attacking players from the Wuhan women's football team as the team's key targets, and they are really strong. But as for which three or four people, I won't say. Also, we don't put any special pressure on the players when we play away from home, and once our team is immersed in the atmosphere of the pitch, the more people there are, the more morale the team will be. The heat in the semi-finals did make us feel uncomfortable, but the final was in the evening, so if the weather is comfortable, I'm sure we'll have a good performance and hopefully we'll be the winners. ”

The winner of this final will receive the championship trophy of the first continental competition in the history of Asian women's football clubs, and at 8 o'clock tonight, let's cheer for Wuhan Chegujiang University Women's Football Team!
