Zhang Rui, the 37-year-old veteran, is awarded the player of the match in China women's 2:0 victory over Bangladesh. Her answer to Titan Sports in the post-match press conference: "As a senior player, I feel I probably carry a bit more responsibility. For me, the key is to play a mentoring role and help pass on experience. In football, players come and go—young players join, older ones move on—and that’s completely normal. What matters is that it doesn’t change who we are as a team. We remain a very united side with a strong fighting spirit."
