For the Chinese women's football team, 2022 is a year of revival. The pace of the Asian Cup is getting closer and closer, after Shui Qingxia took office, the outside world is particularly looking forward to the performance of the sonorous roses, at 18:00 on January 20, the Chinese women's football team will usher in the first opponent Chinese Taipei, CCTV5 will broadcast this Asian Cup battle live.
When it comes to the performance of the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup, all fans will be familiar with it. As the best performing and most brilliant team in Asia, the Chinese women's football team has reached the final of the Asian Cup 10 times, won the final championship 8 times, and scored 22 goals, and the offensive efficiency of averaging 2.2 goals per game in the final can be called a dimensionality reduction blow. Originally, at last year's Tokyo Olympic Games, this Chinese women's football team was able to continue its glorious record in the competition, but Jia Xiuquan's guidance did not meet the expectations of fans, which also made the heavy responsibility of revitalizing women's football fall on Shui Qingxia's head.
As the debut of the competition, the match against Chinese Taipei is absolutely not to be lost. You know, the national football team in the top 12 is because it did not start well, the first game Li Tie was too confident, and finally was more prepared Australia 3-0 bloodbath, which greatly hit the morale of the players, and also caused a huge psychological pressure on Li Tie, which is also the root cause of a series of bizarre behaviors in the follow-up Li Tie, so that in the face of Vietnam, Oman team, the national football team is still afraid to play, almost even a point is difficult.
This experience of the national football team has also sounded the alarm bell for the Chinese women's football team, in the eyes of the Chinese is very particular about the first impression, then the first game in the football field is also the same, if the first game makes the fans unhappy, it will make the fans lose confidence, on the contrary, as long as the first game is played well, then the outside world can recognize the strength of the team, even if there are some small flaws in the back, it can also be forgiven, fortunately, Chinese Taipei is the old opponent of the Chinese women's football team, the players are very familiar with them, The most recent meeting was in the 2020 Olympic Qualifiers, when Jia Xiuquan led the team, and the women's football team won 5-0, which also made Shui Qingxia confident in defeating this opponent.
At present, the Chinese women's football team is conducting its final training in Shanghai, and in a week they will take a charter flight to India to participate in the main competition of the Asian Cup. In the 2021 best team released by the AFC, Wang Shanshan, Wang Shuang and Wu Haiyan of the Chinese women's football team have been shortlisted, which also shows the dominant position of the Chinese women's football team at the Asian level. With the departure of Jia Xiuquan, the faces of Chinese female football players seem to have shown a long-lost smile, and it should be known that in the past, Jia Xiuquan adopted the management mode he used in the army, and it is no wonder that the female footballers showed a serious face on any occasion.
This Asian Cup, the biggest opponent of the Chinese women's football team will be Japan and Australia, fortunately in the group stage of the Chinese team will not meet them, the Japanese team is currently the asian cup of two consecutive championships, but in the recent warm-up match, Japan first lost 0-2 to Iceland, and then by the semi-main force of the Netherlands 0-0 draw, the defending champion presented the state and strength is not as strong as imagined, while the Chinese women's football team is ushered in the return of Zhao Lina, Li Ying and other meritorious players, The team's hard power has been greatly improved, which is a great positive for the Chinese women's football team.
