“It’s been a long time since we won the Hong Kong tournament and we want to bring the trophy home,” Matana said.
“I always tell the players to take care of each other and work together before we play.”
Matana said the players have the spirit and mindset to learn from their mistakes and improve in every tournament.
“We often switch off in difficult matches, which has being our weakness. We aim to improve that in the next tournament.”
