“This is the perfect moment for the China PR team after many years of waiting," said Wang Shanshan. “This is my first AFC Women’s Asian Cup title and I want to thank all the coaching staff and the players for a job well done.
“Winning the MVP award is very important to me. It reflects all the efforts we have put in these past years. I couldn’t have done it without the help from my teammates."
“During the break I told the players not to give up, just like the head coach had told us to fight back. We didn’t give up and we fought till the end.
“We have now shown that we are at the highest level of women’s football in Asia. We are going to savour this moment."
