Beijing time on February 3, 22:00, the second game of the Asian Cup semi-final is about to kick off, the Chinese women's football team will face the Japanese women's football team, the two teams will meet again after 4 years to the Asian Cup semi-finals, 4 years ago the Chinese women's football team lost 1-3 to the opponent, 4 years later the Chinese women's football team looks forward to completing the revenge!
Back 4 years ago, the Chinese women's football team won three games in the group stage, defeating the Philippines, Thailand and Jordan women's football team to reach the semifinals, and the semifinals encountered the old rival Japan women's football team, although it launched a confrontation with the opponent, but the ability to seize the opportunity was not satisfactory, and finally only relied on Li Ying's penalty to score 1 goal, 1-3 lost to the opponent!
The last 4 times the Chinese women's football team has lost all the japanese women's football teams, the last time they defeated the Japanese women's football team was back to the 2016 Rio Olympic Qualifiers, when the team defeated the opponent 2-1, Zhang Rui and Gu Yasha respectively!
The Chinese women's football team played well in the first 3 matches, scoring 11 goals in 2 wins in the group stage, maintaining 0 goals conceded, and advancing to the knockout round with the first place in the group! Against Vietnam, in the case of conceding one goal first, with Wang Shuang's excellent play, 1 shot and 2 passes helped the Chinese women's football team complete the reversal!
On the Japanese women's football side, the group stage played in general, facing Myanmar and Vietnam did not achieve a big victory, facing the Korean women's football team, it was even more with the opponent to shake hands and make peace! But in the knockout rounds, the Japanese team was in full swing, defeating Thailand 7-0 to advance to the semifinals!
The strength of Japanese women's football has declined in recent years, but in Asia, Japanese women's football is still the best! In this game, the Chinese women's football team still has to focus on defensive counterattack!
According to the lineup of the Chinese women's football team in the first 3 games, make your own analysis of the women's football team's lineup tonight!
Goalkeeper position, the previous 3 games Zhu Yu played 2 times, Zhao Lina played 1 time, both played steadily, the game against the Japanese women's football team is still a real test, personally think Zhao Lina will get the opportunity to start, after all, Shui Qingxia guidance for Zhao Lina is more familiar with, but also more trust!
In the back line, the left-back position is strongly recommended that Li Mengwen replace Yao Wei, and in the right-back position, whether it is Lou Jiahui or Gao Chen, there is no problem in starting, Lou Jiahui's offensive attributes are stronger, and Gao Chen's performance on the defensive end is better than Lou Jiahui! The partner of the central defender is the most suspenseful, and Wang Xiaoxue and Li Jiayue will continue to play together!
In the back position, combined with the performance of the first 3 games, I personally think that Yao Lingwei and Zhang Rui are the best partners, Yang Lina is best or on the bench, Ma Jun has lost his position at present!
The position of the left winger, I personally think that Tang Jiali and Zhang Xin are more suitable candidates, the match against Vietnam once put Wang Shuang in the position of the left winger, playing generally, Wang Shuang is the most threatening when he returns to the middle! Zhang Xin is one of the few players in the current women's football team who can play the left and right wingers, Zhang Xin is also the beloved disciple of Shui Qingxia's guidance, not surprisingly, it will occupy a starting position, as for whether it is a left winger or a right winger, this requires Shui Qingxia's guidance to make a choice!
In the front waist position, Wang Shuang is the most suitable candidate, in the game against Vietnam, when Wang Shuang returns to the middle road, the defense line of the Vietnamese women's football team collapses instantly, and Wang Shuang is also a passing achievement to help the women's football team achieve a reversal!
Right winger position, Xiao Yuyi in the game against the Iranian women's football team outstanding, personally think he is more suitable, facing the Japanese women's football team, Xiao Yuyi's impact will become a big weapon to tear apart the opponent's defense line, of course, Shui Qingxia guidance may also put Xiao Yuyi on the bench, let him appear in the second half to attack the Japanese women's football defense!
The position of the center forward, against the Japanese women's football team, personally think that Li Ying is the most suitable candidate, 4 years ago the Asian Cup semi-final against the Japanese women's football team, using no full-court play excellent, but in the pre-match press conference, Wang Shanshan followed the guidance of Shui Qingxia to attend together, basically will appear in the starting position!
Of course, if the Chinese women's football team sends a double striker in this game, then Li Ying and Wang Shanshan are the best choices, Li Ying's impact and Wang Shanshan's ability to respond, 2 people work together to break the gold!
Chinese women's football team is expected to start:
4231：
Goalkeeper: Lina Zhao
Defenders: Li Mengwen, Wang Xiaoxue, Li Jiayue, Lou Jiahui
Back: Zhang Rui, Yao Lingwei
Midfielders: Tang Jiali, Wang Shuang, Zhang Xin
Forward: Shanshan Wang
442：
Midfielders: Tang Jiali, Wang Shuang, Zhang Rui, Yao Lingwei
Forwards: Wang Shanshan, Li Ying
In view of the excellent offensive ability of the Japanese women's football team, it is unlikely that the Chinese women's football team will send a 442 formation, and Li Ying will most likely come on as a substitute! Looking forward to the Chinese women's football team to play well tonight, revenge the Japanese women's football team, reach the final, and sword to the championship!
