    With pace to burn, a wonderful sidestep and no shortage of composure in front of goal, Barbara Bonansea has already made a significant impact for Le Azzurre at the finals.

    The Juventus winger, who has been a target for European champions Lyon in the past is at her best when she drifts in off the left flank.

    The 28-year-old scored both goals in the Group C victory over Australia and won the penalty which set Italy on their way to an emphatic win over Jamaica.

    China want to "gain recognition all over the world" by beating Italy in the last 16 of the Women's World Cup in Montpellier, says manager Jia Xiuquan.

    China, who reached the quarter-finals in 2007 and 2015, finished third in Group B and start as underdogs against Group C winners Italy.

    "I don't think China are favourites but we want to beat the favourite teams," Jia said.

    "But to do this we must give 200%."
