Beijing, 16 April -- Comments from Wang Baoquan (Tianjin), Zhang Di (Bayi), Li Shan (Tianjin) and Song Nina (Bayi) after women's preliminaries match between Bayi and Tianjin on Wednesday.

Wang Baoquan (Tianjin) - Head coach

On the match:
"It is our first match. Although we lost at 0:3, we made our efforts. Today we had a lot of young players on performance for specific reasons. Many old players, like Li Shan, Wang Li, have got much injury. Because of the absence of old players, it is natural to have some problems."

On the new ball:
"This is my first time to see the new ball. It is beautiful, but it is light, and that is why we had so many service faults today. I believe it will be better after we adjust to it."

Zhang Di (Bayi) - Head coach

On the event:
"We are very glad to come here. Our principle is actively participation and having fun. We'll try to get better result."

On the new ball:
"I touched the new ball yesterday and today. It feels very comfortable, light and beautiful in appearance. This will definitely make the match more entertaining."

On the opponent:
"Tianjin team is a great team, and they have won many channpions in the recent years. It's very interesting and challenging to play with them. On the contrary, we lose for the most of games in recent years. This motivates us to work even harder."

Li Shan (Tianjin) - Captain

On the match:
"Today we are with a new team, many players are very young. Though we lost this match, our young players learn a lot from the match. Playing in the Olympic venue is very important for us to improve. We also learn a lot playing against such a strong team."

On the performance of young players:
"The young players have played the important roles in our team. It is good not only for our team but also for Chinese National Team. Although we have older age structure comparing with other teams, we still have a strong reserve. I think our teem will play better in the future."
