On the evening of February 3, Beijing time, the semi-finals of the Women's Asian Cup began, and the first Korean team won the first game, reaching the final to get the World Cup ticket. The second game is the Chinese women's football team against the Japanese women's football team, the Japanese women's football team is the female football hegemon of Asian football for more than ten years, has won the World Cup championship, won the Asian Cup championship many times, and in the top 8 of this tournament, the Japanese women's football team against the Thai team blasted a 7-0 massacre, showing absolute strength.
In this game, due to the gap in strength between the two sides, the Japanese women's football team was basically in an all-round advantage at the beginning, and the Chinese women's football team spent most of its time laying out the defense, and the Japanese team attacked fiercely. But the Chinese women's football team did not give up, and even established a counterattack from the defense, once got multiple offensive opportunities, but failed to score.
In the 26th minute of the match, there was a problem in the Chinese team's defensive line, when it was a Japanese team's cross, there was a leak in front of the defense, and Riko Uegi's header broke the goal. From the perspective of replay, in this round, the Chinese women's football team has problems with the defense of the ball, from the edge to the front point.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia did not have Wang Shuang in the starting lineup of this game, which affected the strength of the women's football team to a certain extent, and Wang Shuang would enter the bench due to injury.
Of course, the Chinese women's football team is behind the Japanese team, playing 26 minutes to be broken is an understandable situation, this game is the Chinese women's football team to challenge the Japanese team, after all, the overall strength of the Japanese women's football team is far stronger than the Chinese team, not only the hegemony of Asian football, but also the world champion level of the world team. In contrast, the Chinese women's football team is currently in the reconstruction stage, which is inferior to the Japanese team in many aspects, and there is still a gap between the strength of the world's second result at its peak.
In the end, playing the entire first half, the Chinese women's football team was 0-1 behind. The backward situation did not cause discomfort to the fans, some fans who watched the game even praised the Chinese female footballers, commenting that they had a good fighting attitude, at least stronger than the Chinese men's football team, most of the voices were encouraging the Chinese female footballers: "How to say it, the current strength and ranking of the Japanese women's football team is indeed stronger than the Chinese women's football team, so if we win it is gratifying, we lose, I hope everyone does not mind too much, and even blame the girls." They're already fighting. "Don't panic! At least twenty minutes to concede a goal, unlike the men's football team lost two goals in more than twenty minutes" "At least you can see hope instead of despair"
The Chinese women's football team has won 8 women's Asian Cup titles, including one seven consecutive championships, but in the late 1990s, the Chinese women's football team ranked 19th in the world at this stage, which is in the trough.
