Beijing time on January 20, 18:00, the Chinese women's football team ushered in the first round of the Asian Cup, the opponent is the Chinese Taipei women's football team, the status and strength of the two teams have a big gap, CCTV5 program shows that the game is not broadcast live. Although the Chinese women's football team lost 17 goals in the three olympic group stages, it did not play the true level of the Chinese women's football team in the three games, and the lineup and state were not at its best. The two-legged elimination of the Korean women's football team in the Olympic Preliminary Playoffs can better reflect the strength of the Chinese women's football team, but the lineup and state of the game are not the best time.
The Chinese Taipei women's football team has been difficult to do when it comes to meeting strong teams, losing 0-7 to the Australian women's team in 2020; last year, even the Indian women's football team could not play, and lost 0-1 to the Indian women's football team in the warm-up match.

In terms of world rankings, China's women's football team ranked 19th in the world, because of the fiasco in the Olympic Games, the ranking was surpassed by the South Korean women's football team, the South Korean women's football team was 18th in the world, the Japanese women's football team was 13th in the world, the Australian women's football team was 11th in the world, the North Korean women's football team was 10th in the world (did not participate in the Asian Cup of women's football), and the Chinese Taipei women's football team was 39th in the world. As a result of the Women's Asian Cup, Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia has gathered the strongest lineup, and the 23-man lineup is ready, and the real level is higher than the ranking.
In the first round of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team started 11 people, according to the ability and state matching, the new captain Wang Shanshan and 2 Wong Shuang and Tang Jiali, who won the Chinese Women's Football Golden Ball Award in recent years, led by Wang Shuang and Tang Jiali, Wang Shuang and Tang Jiali both adjusted the state to the best, Wang Shanshan took over the captain's armband in the absence of Wu Haiyan's injury, and Li Ying, the Asian Cup Golden Boot shooter who returned to the Chinese women's football team lineup, took the place, although she was the golden boot of the last Women's Football Asian Cup, the Asian Cup scored 7 goals, but she was not selected for the Chinese women's football team for a long time. It takes time to reintegrate.
The starting 11 will be composed of Wang Shuang, Wang Shanshan, Tang Jiali three people to form a new attack group, Ma Jun, Yao Wei, Yang Lina paired with three midfielders, Zhang Xin, Li Jiayue, Wang Xiaoxue, Lou Jiahui to form a four-back, of which Zhang Xin cameo left-back, she played female time in Shanghai women's football team has been arranged by coach Shui Qingxia in the left-back position many times, Lou Jiahui continues to serve as a right-back, Li Jiayue and Wang Xiaoxue partner double center-back, goalkeeper Zhao Lina. This set of lineups against the Chinese Taipei women's football team has an overwhelming advantage, Wang Shuang and Tang Jiali are at the peak of their careers, the offensive end is expected to usher in a state of full firepower, if you can activate Li Ying again, the offensive state of the Chinese women's football team will also be upgraded to a grade, which is worth looking forward to.
