The Women's Asian Cup produces 4 teams, the 8th champion Chinese women's football team will play against the Japanese women's football team in the semi-finals, the latter is the last 2 champions, the last two teams met in the top 4, the Chinese women's football team was eliminated by the Japanese women's football team, missed the final. This time, the Chinese women's football team ushered in a chance for revenge, impacting the first Asian Cup championship in 16 years.
In this Asian Cup, the coach of the Chinese women's football team is not Jia Xiuquan, replaced by Shui Qingxia, giving up the 13 international players who participated in last year's Olympic Games, and re-recruiting tang Jiali, Zhao Lina, Li Ying and other core players to enhance the cohesion and self-confidence of the team.
In recent years, China's women's football team has gradually declined, Jia Xiuquan led the team to bear the main responsibility, and now Shui Qingxia leads the team, the first goal is to regain the Asian Cup championship.
Under the leadership of Wang Shuang, the Chinese women's football team only played 2 games in the group stage to lock in the first place in advance, first a 4-0 victory over the Chinese Taipei women's football team, and then a 7-0 victory over the Iranian women's football team, easily advancing to the top 8. Coming to the quarter-final stage, the Chinese women's football team against the Vietnamese women's football team, the Chinese women's football team finally fell behind 0-1, relying on the joint goals of Wang Shuang, Wang Shanshan and Tang Jiali, to achieve a 3-1 reversal, scored 14 goals in 3 games and only conceded 1 goal, the total score was 14-1, worthy of one of the favorites to win the championship.
Facing the Vietnam women's football match, the Chinese women's football team completed 21 shots on goal and 9 shots on target, and the game gradually fell to one side, and finally achieved a reversal. In addition, after the Chinese women's football team advanced to the top 4, it locked the 2023 World Cup seat in advance, and participated for the 8th time in the history of the team, and only absent in 2011.
Next, the Chinese women's football team will usher in a real test, and the semi-final opponent is the defending champion Japan women's football team. Recently, the adult men's and women's national teams of Chinese football and Japanese football have completed a series of duels, so they have attracted the attention of fans.
On January 27, the Chinese men's football team took the lead in the game, away against the Japanese men's football team, and finally the whole field was passively defended, a number of data lagged behind, with a 0-2 score, 24 consecutive years of no win over the Japanese men's football team, but also close to the World Cup.
Now the Chinese women's football team is playing against the Japanese women's football team in the semi-final of the Asian Cup, and the match starts on the third night of the Chinese New Year, with the opportunity to avenge the Chinese men's football team and eliminate the Japanese women's football team to reach the final. Another semi-final match is the South Korean women's football team and the Philippine women's football team, no matter which team advances, the Chinese women's football team has a great hope of winning the championship, so as long as the Japanese women's football team is eliminated, it is basically close to the championship.
The only regret is that CCTV still will not broadcast the Asian Cup matches of the Chinese women's football team live, including the much-anticipated China-Japan women's football matchup. All the matches of the Chinese men's football team in the round of 12, CCTV is arranged to broadcast live on CCTV5 channel, and the treatment is too different.
