On February 3, 2022, Beijing time, the 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup ushered in the semi-finals. The Chinese women's football team has also ushered in the strongest opponent in this Asian Cup, the Japanese women's football team, which has won the World Cup.
In the group season and the quarterfinals stage, the Chinese women's football team won all 3 games, bombarded 14 goals and conceded only 1 goal (the Indian women's football team withdrew due to too many confirmed numbers of new crowns), which once made Chinese fans see hope. In the face of the strong Japanese women's football team, we also have fantasies, fantasizing about ending the embarrassment of not winning for 6 years. However, who knew that before the game, Wang Shuang was suddenly injured and disturbed, and did not make the starting 11-man list. This has also made the Chinese women's football team once again widen the gap between it and the Japanese women's football team.
Only 4 minutes into the opening of the match, the Japanese team got a great opportunity to break the goal, and Riko Ueki hit the crossbar with one kick, and the Chinese team escaped the disaster. Since then, the Japanese team has repeatedly threatened the goal of the Chinese women's football team. It wasn't until the 25th minute of the match that Riko Ueki stood up again, this time picking up a pass from her teammate on the side and shook the lion's head and pushing the ball into the goal guarded by Zhu Yu. The Chinese women's football team fell behind its opponents 0-1 in the early morning, and finally ended the first half 45 minutes, and both sides failed to score again.
At halftime, after looking at the first half data of 2 teams, we found that the gap between the Chinese women's football team and the Japanese women's football team is really too big. If the girls who are not the Chinese women's football team are working the field, I am afraid it will not be much better than the Chinese men's football team. As the saying goes, as long as you don't give up, there will be miracles.
In the second half, the Chinese team took the lead in making adjustments. Zhang Rui and Xiao Yuyi came off the bench, and Ma Jun and young general Zhang Linyan sat on the bench. Who knows, the second half of the game just started 1 minute, Xiao Yuyi, who came on the bench, assisted Wu Chengshu to complete the goal and rewrite the score to 1-1 draw. I have to say that this adjustment directed by Shui Qingxia is really amazing, reminiscent of Lippi, the tactical master who coached Guangzhou Evergrande in the past.
At that time, Lippi always staged the miracle of making substitutions and scoring goals. I hope that Shui Qingxia's guidance can also lead the Chinese women's football team, create a miracle to upset Japan, and lead the Chinese women's football team to the Asian Cup championship trophy. By the way, the embarrassing record of 6 years of unbeaten Japanese women's football team was broken.
