After China's 2-0 loss to Australia in the FIFA World Cup qualifier, Branko Ivankovic, China's head coach, showed a gentlemanly air in the press conference: "Congratulations to Australia on the win. Hangzhou, as the host city, did a great job organizing the match. Many fans came to the stadium to support us, and I want to thank my players — they worked very hard. It’s a pity we didn’t come away with the victory, but that’s football."
