Yangzi Evening News Network, January 13 (reporter Sun Yunyue, Zhang Chenyao, Zhang Hao) At present, the Chinese women's football team is preparing for the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup, and the new coach Shui Qingxia accepted an official interview with the AFC.
When talking about how it felt to be the first former women's football international to coach the Chinese women's football team, Shui Qingxia said that it was a great honor for her to return to the national team, as a player who had represented the country, and now she would feel honored to play for the country again as a coach.
Shui Qingxia was also a member of the golden generation of Chinese women's football, when the Chinese women's football team was a world-class team, but the current Chinese women's football team ranked 19th in the world, when asked about the feelings and reasons for this change, Shui Qingxia said bluntly: "The Chinese women's national football team has made many achievements in the past, after more than ten years of development, women's football in other parts of Asia has undergone tremendous changes. We can see that many Asian countries have begun to invest in and promote women's football, and the women's national teams in these countries will become stronger and stronger, and the strength of those traditional strong teams will become stronger and stronger. We still have a lot to improve and in my opinion, the most important thing at the moment is that we can play our role in future games. ”
For the top priority of the current coaching work, Shui Qingxia said: "Observe the players. Observe their performance in the league and analyze their strength. I hope that every player can be smoothly integrated into the team, I hope that more young players can join the team, and I hope that everyone will prove their strength and value in the game. ”
At the same time, the lack of quality warm-up matches under the epidemic is also a problem that plagues the Chinese women's football team, and Shui Zhi admitted: "Due to the epidemic, our domestic league has been postponed, and we have no opportunity to participate in international friendly matches like other teams." But the good thing is that our league went on normally, making sure that [the team and the players] had regular training and a certain number of high-quality matches. Although we didn't have a chance to play warm-up games with other strong teams, it shouldn't be a problem as it stands. ”
When talking about the strength of the Chinese team, Shui Qingxia said that the Chinese women's football team performed well in the Olympic play-offs and won the last ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, which is enough to prove that the Chinese team has the strength and ability to challenge the first-class women's football team in Asia, but at the same time he hopes that the players will be more confident in the future games.
Finally, Shui Qingxia also talked about the problem of female footballers staying in the ocean: "From my personal point of view, I will support players to play abroad. On the one hand, this will help players deepen their understanding of modern football, and on the other hand, it is also an opportunity to communicate with international players. In this way, players will have a better sense of self, and high-quality games can also help them build self-confidence. I hope that in the future, more players will choose to play abroad. ”
