However, another tough test awaits us in the final when we will take on China, one of the strongest teams in this championship. They are very tall with high blocking, while their attacks and serves are very difficult to cope with. To play them effectively, we have to play more carefully with the possible least mistakes. I hope my team will do their best in their final match,\u201d Thailand head coach Danai Sriwacharamaytakul commented before a large number of the media at the Mixed Zone.<img loading=\"lazy\"
