On January 20th, the Indian Women's Asian Cup kicked off! The new Chinese women's football team led by Shui Qingxia will officially debut in the competition! It is worth mentioning that the Chinese women's football team has maintained 1 miracle at the level of the Asian Cup: 14 times to participate in 8 times to win the championship trophy, and the result of entering the main competition has never been lower than the top 4.
On January 20, the Chinese women's football team will compete with the first Asian Cup opponent Taipei women's football team. The two sides have recently played against the Chinese women's football team to sweep the opponent 5-0, and maintain the record of four wins against Taipei women's football team in recent years! Therefore, it is not difficult for the Chinese women's football team to usher in the opening.
In order to prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup of Indian women's football, the current head coach Shui Qingxia led the new Chinese women's football team in Shanghai for pre-match emergency training.
It is worth congratulating that in the previously announced 34-person training list, Ma Jun, Lou Jiahui, Zhao Lina, Li Ying, Zhang Rui, Li Jiayue and other veterans ushered in the return, in addition to Shen Mengyu, Tang Jiali, two foreign players also appeared in the big list, in addition to Wang Shuang, Wang Shanshan and other core main forces continue to lead.
This 34-man training list covers the players of the new, middle and old three age groups of the Chinese women's football team, the lineup is neat, and the technical and tactical system will show a multi-faceted; secondly, the current atmosphere in the team is good, which is very conducive to the next 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup.
Unlike in the past, this time the Indian Women's Asian Cup will be played by 12 teams, divided into three groups of A, B and C, each group consisting of four teams. Group A includes the Chinese women's football team, the host India women's football team, the Chinese Taipei women's football team and the Iranian women's football team; group B includes the Australian women's football team, thai women's football team, the Philippine women's football team and the Indonesian women's football team; and the C group includes the Japanese women's football team, the Korean women's football team, the Vietnam women's football team and the Myanmar women's football team.
It is worth mentioning that japan, Australia and China women's football teams will directly enter the main tournament of the Indian women's asian cup as the champion and runner-up of the last Asian Cup. In contrast, the Chinese women's football team has a good signing, the strongest in group A, and there is basically no suspense in qualifying as the first place in the group.
According to the relevant format, the top two teams in the group and the third place in the two best-achieving groups advance to the quarterfinals. For the Chinese women's football team, qualifying for the top spot in the group means successfully advancing to the quarterfinals. However, in view of the fact that the Asian Cup is the 2023 Women's World Cup qualifier, the Chinese women's football team must enter the top four of the Asian Cup to ensure that the top five of the Asian Cup (except Australia) can qualify for the 2023 Women's World Cup.
Looking back at the historical achievements of the Chinese women's football team in the past to compete in the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has maintained 1 miracle: 8 of the 14 competitions have won the championship trophy, and once achieved 7 consecutive championships! In addition, there are 2 runners-up, 3 third-place and 1 fourth-place, and the Chinese women's football team has never been lower than the top 4 since entering the main competition.
It is worth recalling that since its first participation in the Asian Cup in 1986, the Chinese women's football team has been unbeaten in 15 years and 43 games, until the loss to North Korea in 2001 ended this record.
From the above, it can be seen that although the Chinese women's football team is not as good as that year, in the ups and downs of so many years, it still maintains a fairly excellent record at the Level of the Asian Cup!
In the next Indian Women's Asian Cup, with the current comprehensive strength of the Chinese women's football team, the biggest key battle should not be the group stage, but the quarterfinals! Because this campaign will be directly related to whether the Chinese women's football team can qualify for the 2023 Women's World Cup; secondly, only in the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's football team can really meet a powerful opponent, which is of great significance for testing its own strength and future course!
There are also two major points to watch: First, what technical and tactical characteristics will the new Chinese women's football team led by Shui Qingxia reflect? Compared with Jia Xiuquan's coaching period, can the new coach Shui Qingxia completely revitalize the connection of the Chinese women's football midfield, can she avoid blindly opening the big foot in the backfield, and can she strengthen the psychological quality of the backline team members?
The second is the Chinese women's football world-class star Wang Shuang, from the Two-legged Olympic Preliminary Play-off of the Chinese and Korean Women's Football Team to the Tokyo Olympic Games, and then to the Shaanxi National Games and the Women's Super League, Wang Shuang has maintained an excellent state of competition in 2021, and then went to the Indian Women's Asian Cup, can she become the first player to help the Chinese women's football team score goals?
New year, new atmosphere, new coach new lineup! I believe that the new Chinese women's football team led by Shui Qingxia will definitely be able to provide fans with wonderful performances at the Asian Cup! What do you think about that?
