After experiencing the defeat of the Tokyo Olympic Games and the embarrassing incident of coach selection, the Chinese women's football team has finally entered the field of the Indian Women's Football Asian Cup, the girls have come all the way to the semi-finals, and the opponent in front of them is the defending champion Japan Women's Football, as the powerful Japanese women's football team in Asia has made great progress in recent years, this game will undoubtedly be difficult for the Chinese women's football team that has just undergone a coach change...
Before the start of the match, Wang Shuang, the absolute main force of the Chinese women's football team, failed to appear due to a foot injury, causing many fans and media to speculate whether the Chinese team has given up this game, and the Asian Cup tour will also end after the match with Japan? As many people speculate, at the beginning of the game, the Chinese team was indeed inferior to the Japanese team in the scene, but after each loss of the ball, the Chinese women's football girls could strive to equalize, and there was never a trace of relaxation and slackness. In terms of the situation, the Japanese team scored a 1:0 lead in the first half of the game, and Yibian scored an equalizer after the battle, and the two sides drew 1-1 in regular time. In the tense extra-time stage, Riko Ueki once again scored a 2-1 lead over The Chinese team, and in the final moments, the Chinese team Wang Shanshan was drawn, and the two sides entered the penalty shootout 2-2.
In the penalty shootout, Chinese goalkeeper Zhu Yu performed well, saving two penalties from the Japanese team, and finally the Japanese team made 3 of 5 penalties and the Chinese team made 5 penalties and 4 of 5. In the end, the Chinese team eliminated the Japanese team 6-5 on aggregate and advanced to the final of the Asian Cup with their heads held high.
It can be said that the victory of women's football is not tactically superior to the opponent, or the personal strength is more excellent, but in fact, the spirit of women's football girls who are not afraid of losing and do not accept defeat makes the good story of being equalized twice behind until the penalty is won. Football is a team sport, not only requires each player to have enough personal ability, but also requires the coaching team to be able to develop their own tactical play for the team, make good use of each person's advantages while avoiding defects, but also through collective training and motivating team members to make the team more and more mature, of course, there are many many reasons that can make the team strong, but in the final analysis, whether a football team can become the fan's favorite, mostly reflected in the team's mental outlook on the pitch. Would you rather watch the world champion walking on the field or would you rather watch the underdogs who are desperate to steal and dare to attack? What's more, the Chinese women's football team, which has just undergone a coach change, does not have enough confidence to say how strong it is, and the spirit of chasing after the field is the foundation that the Chinese team can support to the end.
In addition to the victory of this game, in fact, it also sounded a wake-up call for everyone, who remembers that the last victory over Japan was already in the 2016 Rio Olympic Qualifiers, in that competition, the Chinese women's team beat the Japanese women's football team 2-1. The Chinese team that has been unafraid of Japanese women's football for 20 years has gradually fallen into the disadvantage in recent years, which is not necessarily because of the regression of Chinese women's football, but the development of Japanese football has driven the development of women's football more rapidly, while in Contrast, In China, the level of men's football has plummeted, and leagues at all levels are also difficult to stand shoulder to shoulder with the international level, for a long time, it is difficult to see those teams that are active in fighting, attacking fiercely, and defending tenaciously, at least the Chinese men's football team has played with the Japanese national team before. It can be said that there is no fighting spirit, on the contrary, the Chinese women's football penalty victory over the Japanese team is enough to make the Chinese men's football team as an example, the skills are not as good as people can be practiced, the tactics are not familiar with can be practiced, the team cooperation is low can also be practiced, but if everyone in a team does not have the desire for victory and the fiery fighting spirit it brings, then how can the team like the walking dead have the possibility of victory?
Chinese fans have waited for a long time, they are not afraid of the team's sluggish performance and ridicule, they are not afraid that the team will not be able to rush out of Asia to become the last of the world, they are only afraid of the red country that has given birth to countless heroes but because of its lack of fighting spirit on the pitch and shame. The team's high salary or naturalization, the results can be depressed, but the spirit and fighting spirit can never be lost, the Chinese men's football team should look up at this group of sonorous roses, see how they bring the spirit of competitive sports to all the audience, see their tenacity and vitality in the face of powerful opponents, just like the famous sports journalist Ma Dexing wrote in his personal social media after the game: "Thank you Chinese girls, when Chinese football fell into a comprehensive passive scolding, once again saved the entire Chinese industry!" Thank you women's soccer girls! ”
If the next victory over South Korea to win the Asian Cup is the biggest reward for the Chinese women's football girls to themselves, then this victory over the Japanese team is a battle to reinterpret the spirit of Chinese women's football, this blooming sonorous rose after several twists and turns finally let the world amaze, in the green field, the Chinese women's football team to the Chinese men's football team a good lesson, but also let the Chinese football in the dark moment once again see a little hope, Chinese women's football girls, good!
