Dario Conca expects the appointment of World Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi at Guangzhou Evergrande to help improve his game.

"As an experienced international coach, Lippi will definitely bring advanced skills and tactics to the team. I will try my best to learn from him," Conca said.

The defending Chinese Super League champion side signed a 2 1/2-year deal with the 64-year-old Italian on May 17.
