With only one day left before the Women's Asian Cup to be held in India on January 20, the Chinese women's football team has arrived in India under the leadership of head coach Shui Qingxia, including two women's footballers Tang Jiali and Shen Mengyu who stayed in the ocean. Among them, Tang Jiali, who plays for the Women's Football Team of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, is the last to arrive, and the 23-man roster has gathered in Mumbai, India. The first match of the women's football team will come at 18:00 on January 20, and the first match is against the Chinese Taipei representative team, and the women's football team has almost no suspense in winning the game. Of course, for the cup, the women's football team aims to win the final Asian Cup, so they have to do more than just beat the first opponent with all their might.
However, just before Tang Jiali returned to the team, the Japanese women's football team came bad news, and the core of the team, Iwabuchi Shina, underwent a nucleic acid test after arriving in India, and the final result was positive. Shina Iwabuchi plays for the Arsenal women's team in the Premier League and is the core of the Japanese team's front line, and this time the nucleic acid positive will definitely miss some of the matches, which is a big impact on the Japanese team. The Arsenal striker represented the Japanese women's team at last year's Olympic Games and was the team's main striker, scoring 1 goal in 4 games and making 9 appearances at Arsenal this season, with 1 goal and 1 assist.
Originally, the Japanese women's football forward was positive for nucleic acid, which was a good thing for us, but she had contact with our striker Tang Jiali before she arrived in India, so we were very worried about whether Tang Jiali would be at risk. Jina Iwabuchi and Tang Jiali are both female footballers who play in the Premier League, and they flew from the United Kingdom to India together, and the two also took a group photo when they met at the airport, so Iwabuchi Jina's positive also put Tang Jiali in danger, and also put the Chinese women's football team in a dangerous environment.
However, in the end, it was a false alarm, Tang Jiali and the Chinese women's football team, after the round, carried out nucleic acid testing, and passed the nucleic acid test. It seems that because Iwabuchi Isuna is an asymptomatic person, and both of them are wearing masks when taking photos at the airport, and their sense of self-defense is very strong, Tang Jiali was able to safely join the large troops and did not let us have non-combat attrition. After Tang Jiali returned to the team safely, she took the official makeup photo of the AFC with the whole team, and the disciples led by Shui Qingxia will strive towards the goal of winning the Asian Cup.
In fact, this Asian Cup in accordance with India's local prevention and control policy, as long as it is negative for nucleic acid, you can participate in the war, so Iwabuchi Jina recovered a few days later if the review is negative then you can continue to play for the Japanese team, missed may be the first few group matches. And India does not have the term "close connection", even if Tang Jiali and Iwabuchi Jina took a plane or even intimately took a photo, as long as Tang Jiali is not positive, there is no problem. Of course, women's football teams can not be taken lightly, or should be in accordance with our own stricter protective measures to look at this Asian Cup, after all, can not joke about their own health.
This is Shui Qingxia's first time to participate in international competitions after coaching women's football, compared to the previous National Games, Shui Qingxia selected players who she recognized and understood more, and many powerful and foreign players have returned to women's football, including Tang Jiali, Shen Mengyu, Li Jiayue, Zhao Lina and so on. I hope that the women's football team, under the leadership of Shui Qingxia, can march all the way and win the final championship.
