Chen wanting stylish win over Brazil

Macao, China, June 31, 2005 - The 2005 World Grand Prix is coming to the second week as the showdown between the defending champions Brazil and the Olympic champions China is in the spotlight in Macao.

China's coach Chen Zhonghe said their three rivals in Macao are all quite strong but Brazil pose the biggest threat.

"Brazil is an all-around team and is really tough to play," he said. "I don't want to urge my players to beat them, instead, I expect them to play their own style. That's most important.

“I hope to win the competition but in my eyes, I will pay more attention to the process as our target for the tournament is to improve our young players for the next Olympics."

China, Brazil, Germany and Poland will play against each other in the second round games slated from Friday to Sunday.

The top of the table clash between China and Brazil, two of the tournament's three unbeaten sides, is set to play on Sunday at 0800 GMT.
