Yin Hongbo became the fifth player to be interviewed by the media since the team arrived in Doha. This scene is reminiscent of the previous interviews with Ackerson, Zhang Linpeng and Wu Xi during the training in Shanghai, making a total of 8 players who have received the media spotlight so far. Interestingly, all eight players seem to be expected to be in the starting lineup for the Sept. 2 China-Australia match.

Wang Gang's forward assisting ability is quite similar to Tang Miao's, which seems to be in line with the period of the 40-team tournament.
