Milutinovic: Offensive Makes Best Defense

China's head coach Bora Milutinovic said on September 4 that in line with his "Doha Strategy"-To be on the offensive is the best defense, the Chinese soccer team will play Qatar with full strength in the World Cup qualifiers. And Nan Yong, vice chairman of Chinese Football Association (CFA), denied the hearsay on September 3 that the Chinese soccer team only wishes to tie with Qatar in the match.

At the news briefing on September 4, Milutinovic did not reveal any information. He has watched the video that Qatar defeated the United Arab Emirates 2-0 in the qualifiers on August 31 before he went to Doha. According to him, the Qatra team is high in morale and it will be a hard match for China. China must give full play to our advantages, keep the initiative, commit less mistakes and keep up physical strengthen.

Milutinovic and Nan Yong are identical in their strategy for this match. According to Nan Yong, the CFA has never set the goal to tie with Qatar. And Milutinovic also said that we are in a favorable situation and Chinese players should fully have a relaxed psychic. To be on the offensive makes the best defense, and the method is also needed, Milutinovic said.
