At 18:00 Beijing time on January 20, the Chinese women's football team will usher in the first match of the Chinese Taipei women's football team in the first match of the Asian Cup. Although the opponent's strength is not as good as the Chinese women's football team, after all, it is the first battle of the competition, and the Chinese women's football team still cannot underestimate the opponent, after all, the opponent is not low in the Asian range, and currently ranks 7th in Asia. However, the big war is imminent, but the Chinese women's football team has a big advantage, and 2 players in the indian women's football team in the second game have tested positive.
On the evening of January 19, according to official sources, two members of the Indian women's football team, the host of the Women's Asian Cup, tested positive for COVID-19 and are currently quarantined at designated medical care opportunities. Since the Sino-Indian war will be fought in 7 days, even if these 2 players can be cured, the competitive state and physical state will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, so it is also good for Chinese football.
Of course, the Indian women's football team is not strong after all, and it is not too much of a threat to the Chinese women's football team, so at present, all the attention of the Chinese women's football team is focused on the first opponent, the Chinese Taipei women's football team.
According to the current women's football rankings, Chinese women's football ranks 19th in the world and 5th in Asia, while Chinese Taipei women's football ranks 39th in the world and 7th in Asia, and is only 2 places lower than Chinese women's football in Asia. It can be seen that although there is a gap in the strength of the two teams, it is not as obvious as we think. Therefore, for the Chinese Taipei women's football team, the Chinese women's football team still has to fight in spirit and prepare well. After all, the last time the two sides met was at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, when the Chinese women's football team won only 1-0.
However, the game has not yet begun, and Wang Shuang, the number one star of the Chinese women's football team, can't hold back. She showed another free kick stunt through Weibo, and directly shot the ball into Fuxin, which showed that she was in good shape. I hope they have a smooth start to the first game.
