Jiali with Qingxia, the trophy to take home? The first female manager in the history of the sonorous Rose, the sword refers to the Women's Asian Cup

The 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup is about to start, and the Chinese women's football team will face the first group opponent, Chinese Taipei, at 18:00 on January 20, which is also the "debut" of Shui Qingxia, the first female coach in the history of "Sonorous Rose". Some netizens left a message to send blessings: "Jiali with Qingxia, take the trophy home!" Shui Qingxia also cheered on the Chinese women's football team: "I hope the Chinese team can go to the end." ”

Go abroad to fight, safety is the first

On January 15, the Chinese women's football team set off from the Shanghai Oriental Green Boat and sent troops to Mumbai, India. This time, the Chinese women's football team enjoyed the "charter treatment", which is not extravagant and wasteful, but particularly emphasizes "epidemic prevention safety". "Under the very serious situation of global epidemic prevention and control, this trip to India to participate in the Women's Asian Cup is also a test." Shui Qingxia, the new coach of the Chinese women's football team, believes that this western expedition should not only be prepared for a hard battle, but also take into account the task of epidemic prevention to ensure the health and safety of all members of the team.

After arriving in Mumbai on January 16, the Chinese women's football team was required to enter the AFC-designated hotel. The hotel also hosts three participating teams, and in order to ensure the safety of epidemic prevention, the AFC has divided separate activity areas and access channels for each team. Last year, the Chinese women's football team has gone overseas many times to fight, and it is no stranger to the "bubble-style" epidemic prevention management of various events.

At present, the maximum temperature in Mumbai is still above 30 degrees Celsius, and in order to avoid the high temperature, the chinese women's football team's on-site training during this period is scheduled to be carried out at night. After the end of the quarantine observation after entry, the Chinese women's football team conducted the first training session on the 17th local time. It can be seen that after a month of closed preparations, the girls are in good physical condition and have a very positive training attitude. After the new coach Shui Qingxia took office, the Chinese women's football team lineup has undergone great changes compared with the Tokyo Olympic Games, and then the girls will use actual combat training to further complete the lineup run-in.

For the first time, he led the team and showed his face

On January 18, the Chinese women's football team held an online press conference, and coach Shui Qingxia introduced that this is the first time she has participated in the Asian Cup as a coach, and she feels very honored. She said: "In the special environment of the global epidemic, the AFC's hosting of this competition in India is an emphasis on the development of women's football. I believe that all teams will do their best to show the spirit of Asian women's football. ”

For a time, Chinese women's football has long been the hegemon of Asian football, although the level of competition has declined in recent years, and Japanese women's football has begun to become the "asian boss", but Chinese women's football is still one of the traditional strong teams in Asian football. For the goal of competing in the Women's Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia said bluntly: "Of course, I hope that the team can win the championship and achieve better results, but we are still focusing on one kick after another and striving to play a higher level." We face different opponents in each game, and the game strategy will be different. The hot weather in India will also affect the players' performance, and I think the team needs some luck to get to the end. ”

Shui Qingxia was a famous international footballer of the Chinese women's football team in the player era, with a tough playing style and a strong defense. After serving as a coach, Shui Qingxia's coaching style is also close to the trend of modern football, passing and cutting with relatively fast, focusing on the coordination of the ball under the feet. She said that as a coach, she pays attention to the performance of the players in the offensive and defensive transition, "I hope that the players can unite, unify their thinking, reach a consensus, as long as the direction is right, everyone can go further together." ”

Stay abroad and prove yourself

Previously, during the period when Chinese football was coached by Jia Xiuquan, various negative news and rumors were constantly stirred. In particular, the main striker Tang Jiali is obviously in excellent shape, but for various unspeakable reasons, she finally lost the list of the Chinese women's football team to participate in the Olympic Games, which caused strong doubts from fans and netizens. With Shui Qingxia picking up the coaching whip and Staying in the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur women's football team, Tang Jiali returned to the national team, she is expected to show real strength in this Asian Cup.

Specifically, after playing the latest round of the Premier League women's football league, Tang Jiali rushed to India to meet the team at the first time. "At 3 a.m. on the 18th, she arrived in India, and now she has just finished the nucleic acid test, and after passing the nucleic acid test, the coaching team considers letting her train with the team." Tang Jiali is playing in the league, the state has a certain guarantee, we hope she plays at a good level and has a good performance. ”

On the offensive end, Wang Shuang, who has excellent ability, is the source of the creativity of the Chinese women's football team in the goal, but due to her stature, style of play and other reasons, Wang Shuang also needs a good forward partner to form a cooperation with her. At present, Tang Jiali, who debuted in shanghai women's football, has a good partner experience with Shui Qingxia, and this time the pair of masters and apprentices meet in the Chinese women's football team, which is also good news.
