If the Chinese men's football team has made Chinese football lose face in the round of 12, then I believe that the victory of the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup can make these lost faces more or less find back.
In the face of the Japanese women's football team, which is far stronger than ours, in the face of the unfavorable situation of falling behind by one goal early, the women's football girls did not give up, and through unremitting efforts and active scrambling, let the Japanese team's almost cooked duck fly. Throughout the game, the Japanese team firmly controlled the situation on the field, and the Chinese team could only threaten the opponent's goal by sporadic counterattacks.
Two goals from Japanese striker Riko Ueki once forced the Chinese women's football team into a desperate situation. I believe that everyone thinks that the second goal conceded in extra time will be a goal that will be sentenced to the "death penalty" of the Chinese women's football team, and the Chinese team's Asian Cup journey may end here. But captain Wang Shanshan stepped forward, scoring a stunning goal in the 119th minute, shattering Japan's dreams and dragging the game into a brutal penalty shootout.
The hero who stood out in the penalty shootout was goalkeeper Zhu Yu, who twice saved the penalties of the opposing players, helped the Chinese team defeat the Japanese team 4-3 in the penalty shootout, eliminated the opponent 6-5 on aggregate, and staged an incredible counterattack myth!
Turning over technical statistics, the Chinese women's football team is far behind the opponent in terms of offensive data such as possession rate, number of shots, and number of corners. But even so, the women's football girls still let the "sonorous roses" bloom in Asian football once again through the spirit of tenacious struggle!
For the outstanding performance of the Chinese women's football team, the famous football commentator Huang Jianxiang also could not help but post praise, in which he also unconsciously compared the men's football team with the women's football team. Huang Jianxiang wrote: "Is there a gap between the technical level of the Chinese women's football team and the Japanese team? From the possession rate of three or seven to the comparison of the number of shots, it shows a huge gap, this gap is definitely more difficult than the strength of the men's football team away from home with the Vietnamese team before, much more difficult! But do the men's soccer players have a little bit of fighting spirit among today's girls? Don't blame everyone for scolding them, there is no harm without contrast. In the battle of industry redemption, the men's football team appears to be a large area of soul loss and self-preservation, so the whole group will be ridiculed by the whole society, and the whole industry is facing an existential crisis, which is really self-inflicted! ”
According to the schedule, the final of the Asian Cup will start at 19:00 on February 6th, and I believe that the fans will continue to wait and wait for the news that the women's football girls will finally win the cup!
