The Women's Asian Cup has ended the first two rounds of competition, the transformed Chinese team finally did not disappoint the majority of fans, Shui Qingxia led the team to blast 11 goals, and ensured a perfect performance of 0 goals conceded, conquering the discerning fans. Compared with Jia Xiuquan's performance of leading the team in the Olympic Games to score only 4 goals and conceded 17 goals, it is self-evident who is the true destiny of women's football.
With the announcement of the withdrawal of host India, the Chinese women's football team no longer needs to play in the last round of the competition, and has now advanced to the quarterfinals as the first place in the group with a score of 6 points. As long as one more win, the Chinese team can lock in the 2023 Women's World Cup in advance, which is really a great envy of the national football team, to know that compared with the men's football team in the World Preliminary Round is a life and death battle, compared to the women's football team has become one of the first-class teams in Asia, and now the only teams that can compete with the women's football team are Australia and Japan, and the national football team is still struggling to worry about how to meet Oman and Vietnam.
Of course, at this stage for the Chinese women's football team can not be easily proud, after the promotion to the knockout round, I believe that the whole team, including the Football Association, hopes to win the final championship (the Chinese team has been away from the Asian Cup champion for 16 years), so that the national fans are happy on the occasion of the Arrival of the Spring Festival. Then on the road of the chinese team's knockout round, Japan and South Korea are two strong enemies that cannot be avoided, according to the elimination match of this Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team will inevitably meet the top two teams in Group C in the semi-finals, compared with the overall strength of the Japanese team will cause more trouble to the Chinese team.
The Japanese women's team currently ranks second in Asia, behind the Kangaroo Army australia. In the first two rounds, Japan first won 5-0 against Myanmar, and in the second round, facing vietnam, which was not bad, Japan won 3-0 with a clean sheet, which was also full of firepower and did not lose a goal. What's more, in both games, the Japanese team's possession rate exceeded 80%, the number of shots on goal was more than 20, and only Myanmar and Vietnam produced a kick in 90 minutes, so powerful dominance is frightening. Moreover, the Japanese team has won the Asian Cup for two consecutive years, and the japanese team is the top team in Asia in recent years of development and honor.
This also puts forward higher requirements for Shui Qingxia. Since the last round of matches was cancelled, the Chinese women's football team lost the opportunity to train and maintain the competitive state of the players, so Shui Qingxia must ensure the intensity of the training in order to continue to keep the players' bodies in the rhythm of the game. In addition, the Chinese women's football team is currently under the leadership of Shui Qingxia is also the main ground pass control play, which is in conflict with the Japanese team's playing style, to know that in front of Japan, the Chinese team's three-legged cat pass control is absolutely unable to compete with Japan, so Shui Qingxia must change tactics, perhaps can use Li Ying, Ma Jun, these relatively tall and tough players, with repeated impacts to disintegrate the opponent's defense line.
At present, there are still 5 days to go before the start of the Asian Cup quarterfinals, Japan is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the championship, the Chinese team must be a challenger to fight this opponent, of course, considering that Japan is likely to be the opponent of the Chinese team semi-finals, so the quarterfinals against the third group B (the Philippines or Thailand) must not be taken lightly, to be wary of the cold door of overturning in the gutter. Nowadays, the live broadcast plan of CCTV5 has not yet been released, and fans also believe that the performance of the Chinese women's football team is so good before, and the knockout match must be given a second chance to broadcast live, so that more viewers can enjoy the heroic posture of the women's football girls.
