At 22:00 Beijing time on February 3, the semi-final of the Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team finally eliminated the Japanese women's football team with a total score of 6-5 through a penalty shootout, and reached the final of the Asian Cup again after many years. I believe that many fans stayed up late to watch this game and were touched by the spirit of the women's football team that never gave up and fought tenaciously. The Chinese women's football team fell behind 0-1 in the first half, and in the second half, it was equalized by Wu Chengshu's lightning goal. In extra time, the Chinese women's football team once again lagged behind the Japanese team, but in the last minute, the Chinese women's football team, which did not accept defeat, once again tied the score with Wang Shanshan's magical foot, and finally counterattacked Japan in the penalty shootout.
After this game, the Chinese women's football team received praise and praise from fans across the country, many fans said that they were completely circled by the Chinese women's football team, even CCTV, Xinhua Net, People's Daily also sent congratulations, it is regrettable that such an important game, CCTV 5 sets did not arrange live broadcast, which also made many fans miss this wonderful game. The Chinese women's soccer team had hit a rock bottom at last year's Tokyo Olympics, scoring only six goals in the group stage but conceding 17 goals, and even equalizing amateur teams like Zambia with a 3-1 lead. After the Olympic Games, Jia Xiuquan left class, Shui Qingxia took over as the head coach of the Chinese women's football team, her arrival brought a new look to the Chinese women's football team, and the Chinese women's football team achieved a bottoming rebound. As Wang Shuang said after the game, you can always trust the Chinese women's football team!
Compared with the Chinese women's football team, the chinese men's football team has performed extremely badly in recent times, after losing 0-2 to Japan in the World Preliminary Round, and then losing 1-3 humiliatingly to Vietnam, the Chinese men's football team has completely lost the opportunity to enter the 2022 World Cup. The president of the Football Association, Chen Shuyuan, has also been criticized by the fans recently, coupled with his various behaviors and demeanors when he talked with the president of the Vietnam Football Association, many fans have now begun to shout for him to hurry up and leave class. However, after the Chinese women's football team qualified for the 2023 World Cup, it reached the final of the Asian Cup, which finally saved a little face for Chinese football, and Chen Shuyuan can also temporarily breathe a sigh of relief, at least during his term of office, there are still some achievements, and the position of president of the Football Association is temporarily safe. If the Chinese women's football team can defeat the South Korean women's football team in the final of the Asian Cup and win the Asian Cup again after many years, then for Chen Shuyuan, his position as the president of the Football Association will be very stable.
The performance of the Chinese women's football team during the Spring Festival made the Chinese men's football team completely unable to lift its head, and many fans said that the Football Association should organize all the players of the Chinese men's football team to watch the video replay. Some fans also said that they should reduce the bonus benefits of the Chinese men's football team and increase the bonuses and benefits of the Chinese women's football team.
