From the players to the coach, it is quite stable, when Wang Shanshan scored the absolute flat ball, the coaching staff and staff are crazy to celebrate, have to admit that this is a moment worth celebrating, but the head coach Shui Qingxia is unusually calm, she does not have any celebratory action, even if the staff around her crazy celebration she is not moved, not everyone can be so stable, such a calm coach can win with a weak victory, reverse victory is also reasonable.
