"I think it was our worst game in this tournament," Cai was quoted by Chinese portal Sohu.com.

"I can be tolerant of their technical mistakes but not slackness," he said.

China placed second to last with six points in the six-team standings as leaders Brazil, Russia, the Netherlands and Japan are yet to finish their games.

The team will keep training after the Grand Prix final to prepare for the Asian Championship.

"Problems were exposed in this tournament so we need to find solutions the following week," Cai said.
