But Yu, who had been the assistant coach of the Chinese team for eight years, showed his desire for victories.

"But we are confident in the Asian Games. Our goal is to strive for the gold medal," Yu said. "We won't have much time to prepare for the Asiad, but we had prepared a lot even before the World Championship."

In the men's competition, the traditional Asian troika, China, Japan and South Korea, together with western Asian powerhouse Iran, all have a chance for gold medal.

The Chinese men's team is trapped in a much tougher situation than their women counterparts.

Coach Zhou Jian'an is aware that he is deep in hot water as his side lost to Iran, Japan and South Korea and only ranked fourth in 2009 Asian Championship, the worst result for China in the event's history.

In the 2010 World Championship, China won one single set in three matches and placed 19th, another worst performance.

The Asiad might be Zhou's last chance and any other medal than gold could send him packing.
