After the 1:1 draw against Oman, Li Tie, the head coach of China NT, said 'it's a pity that we don't take 3 points. We have done well in the game and 1:1 is an acceptable result for us. Now we will forget the result and put focus on the next game against Australia.' He also defended his decision of substituting Aloisio and Xu Xin before China being equalized.
