The "King Fried" combination continued to threaten
In this game, Shui Qingxia's team still relies on the excellent performance of Wang Fang's combination, Wang Shuang and Wang Shanshan joined forces to make the Vietnamese women's football defense miserable, Wang Shuang scored 1 goal and 2 assists, and Wang Shanshan scored a key goal. The next round of encounter with the Japanese team, whether it can win the key depends on the performance of the Wang Bomb combination.
Facing the slightly stronger Vietnamese team, coach Shui Qingxia is still a powerful "King Bomb Combination" on the offensive end. The tacit understanding of these 2 people in cooperation naturally needless to say, in the opening 8 minutes, after Wang Shuang's corner kick was opened, It was Wang Shanshan's flying header that was slightly higher.
On the other side of the coin, the Vietnamese women's football team, which is very familiar with the Wang Fried combination, has also put a lot of effort into defense. They used the close defense and fierce force of many people to create a lot of trouble for the Chinese team. Especially after the first goal, they defended intensively, which once made it difficult for women's football to find space and opportunities on the offensive end.
I was able to score an equalizer and thank the two kings for their exquisite cooperation. In the 24th minute, after Receiving the ball from her teammate on the left side of the penalty area, when facing the bag and containment of the 4 defenders with her back, she almost turned around and crossed without observing her teammates, at this time, Wang Shuang, who understood the situation, just ran to the goal to make up for the goal.
In the second half, the biggest change in the Chinese women's football team was that Wang Shuang and Wang Shanshan strengthened the substitution and completely disrupted the defensive deployment of the Vietnamese team. Wang Shanshan, who often withdrew from the front, also gave Wang Shuang more room to attack.
The second goal scored by the women's football team was that Wang Shuang sent a good ball when cutting in from the right side laterally, allowing Wang Shanshan to easily break the goal. Just 1 minute later, Wang Shuang repeated the trick, or from the right side of the breakthrough, this time Wang Shanshan from its left side obliquely killed the penalty area, attracting the defensive attention of 3 players, Wang Shuang put the ball straight to the left side, at this time no one stared at Tang Jiali rushed to the horse and shot in the penalty area.
After taking a 3-1 lead, the Vietnamese women's football team, which had no way back, pressed hard, which also gave the Chinese women's football team more opportunities. In the 62nd minute, Wang Shuang shot 3 people in the penalty area, broke the goal after changing the line, and was judged to be offside first; in the 71st minute, after Wang Shuang's corner kick was opened, Yang Lina broke the goal, but unfortunately Wang Xiaoxue was sentenced to rush the referee first, after which Wang Shuang also assisted Wu Chengshu to score, and then was judged to be offside. Although these 3 goals are invalid, it can be seen that Wang Shuang's core role is.
The biggest problem of the Chinese women's football team at present is that there is only one Wang Shuang, and the players who can cooperate with her tacitly and run the position are only a few players such as Wang Shanshan.
Taking this game as an example, 90% of the Chinese team's threatening attack came from the two of them, and Wang Shuang almost took all the corner kicks and set-pieces in the front of the team. At the same time, when Wang Shanshan used her body to attract the attention of the opponent's defensive players, except for Wang Shuang, few other teammates could run in place. Especially when Wang Shanshan was replaced and Wang Shuang supported alone, the pressure on the opponent by the Chinese team was obviously not enough.
According to the data, Wang Shuang passed the ball 26 times in this game, with a success rate of 76.9%, and 3 successful confrontations and crosses, creating 6 threat attacks. Wang Shanshan, who has passed the ball 23 times, has a pass success rate of 82.6%, in addition to 2 successful top battles and 4 confrontation successes.
In the first two games of the group stage, the Chinese Rose swept the Chinese Taipei and Iranian women's football teams 4-0 and 7-0 respectively, and Wang Shuang scored 4 goals and 1 assist in the two games, and forced the other side to score 1 oolong goal, and Wang Shanshan was 3 goals and 1 assist; if it were not for the key moment of the Wang Bomb combination, the Chinese Rose would also be very difficult.
