KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 -- Chinese national soccer team is ready for the
coming Asian Cup match, said coach Zhu Guanghu on Friday.

"The players are ready to play......we adjust ourselves well and there is
no problem of being maladjusted here in Malaysia," Zhu said after China's
first training session.

He added that several European-based players, including Sun Jihai of
English club Manchester City, Dong Fangzhuo of Manchester United and Shao
Jiayi of Germany's Cottbus, are fit to play the matches.

But Zhu admitted China's rivals in Group C are all tough teams.

"Iranian team is strong while Uzbekistan side is also a strong team not
familiar to China. Malaysia is the con-host," he said.

China will play against Malaysia in its opening match on July 10 at the
National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
