On Thursday, that is, at 6 p.m. on the 20th, the Asian Cup will usher in the opening battle, against the Chinese women's football team and the Taipei women's football team. After Jia Xiuquan's class, fans are full of expectations for the revival of China's women's football team, it is worth mentioning that if the Chinese team wants to successfully enter next year's World Cup, then it must get the top five of this Asian Cup, so it is a heavy responsibility for Shui Qingxia, especially in the case that the men's football team has basically missed the World Cup, the Football Association and fans have pinned all their hopes on this group of girls, and then CCTV five sets will also broadcast this opener.
The memory of the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup is very good, winning the championship eight times in the ten finals, making the Chinese women's football team the hegemonic team at the Asian level. It can be seen that the Chinese team's heritage is quite deep, and the current strength of this group of players is also online, as long as it is equipped with the correct leadership and tactics, the team is expected to stand on the highest podium for the ninth time. The Current World Ranking of the Chinese team is 19, and the Taipei Women's Football Team is only 39, and there is a gap of 20 places between the two teams, so fans have reason to look forward to a opening red that belongs to the Shui Qingxia era.
On January 16, Beijing time, Shui Qingxia accepted an official interview with the central media. Facing the camera, she revealed to the outside world for the first time her criteria for selecting players. She said: "To be a player in the national team, you must be able to get a stable playing time at the club, and have a stable performance in daily competitions, or have a strong standout in a certain ability. Of course, in my personal opinion, the veteran players are extremely important, they have a lot of experience in the game, and at the same time they have a good mentality, which is a good role model for young players. ”
From this statement, it can be seen that Shui Qingxia has a unique view on the selection of players. It can be seen that she has a special love for the veteran players and attaches great importance to whether she is the main player of the club. This is also the reason why Shui Qingxia recalled Li Ying, Tang Jiali, Zhang Rui, Zhao Lina and other veterans this time, to know that these players could not enter Jia Xiuquan's eyes before, it can be seen that Shui Qingxia's coaching style and selection standards are very different from Jia Xiuquan. Since she has led the team to win the national games championship before, the players also trust her more, and the two sides have a certain basis for cooperation.
Taipei's opponent is no stranger to the Chinese women's football team. The most recent meeting between the two sides ended with a 5-0 victory over China, and in the two meetings at the Asian Games, the Chinese women's football team also won 1-0 and 4-0 respectively, and the state was very good. Compared with the difficulty on the field, the Chinese team needs to do a good job in its own epidemic prevention and control, after all, the current epidemic prevention situation in India is still grim, and the players must always be vigilant against their own safety and avoid unnecessary attrition, which is a new test for the Chinese women's football team.
Compared with the men's top 12 matches, which can get a huge reward of 6 million yuan per win, the Football Association did not announce the winning prize money of the women's football team in the Asian Cup this time. To this end, I also hope that the women's football girls will not be discouraged, or they will have to correct their mentality and strive to save the shadow of the tragic defeat of the Olympic Games, the fans have always been the strong backing of the Chinese team, and look forward to the Surprise that the Chinese women's football team can send surprises to the motherland in India.
