If miracles have color, it must be Chinese red! Two degrees behind, two equalizers, reading seconds to equalize, penalty shootouts! A classic weak victory and strong reversal broke the spell of a 6-year win over the Japanese women's football team and helped the Chinese women's football team reach the final of the Asian Cup for the first time in 14 years.
Yes, our women's football team, which is at the top of Asia, has been 14 years old.
Behind the icing on the cake, we would like to say more: pay attention to women's football, must not just satirize men's football. Regardless of whether you win or lose, please give the women's football movement real attention and support, do not let the Chinese women's football team only reach the top of the hot search at this moment.

Miracles have colors, this time rose red!
What kind of desperate moments have you experienced in sports competitions?
Let's take a look at what happened to such a team —
At the Tokyo Olympics, played half a year ago, 0-5, 4-4, 2-8. In three games, a total of 17 goals were conceded. The head coach was immediately dismissed.
The new coach who was finally selected was not even on the shortlist – and the new manager only took office 3 months ago.
Although the first group qualified steadily, after the knockout match against Vietnam, who drew 1 and lost 2 in the group stage, they all conceded a goal first, relying on the main player Wang Shuangshan to reverse the danger 3-1 - but this team still successfully qualified for the Women's World Cup with the final four results.
In the next semi-finals, we will play against the Japanese women's football team, which has won the World Cup and is ranked 4 places higher than us in the world, but has not defeated the opponent in 6 years, and she has not reached the final of the Asian Cup in 14 years.
To make matters worse, the main general Wang Shuang was unable to fight because of a sprained ankle, and the whole team was overstretched.
The game, which was not even broadcast live on state television.
After the semi-finals began, in the 25th minute of the game, the team declared itself behind. After a hard shot in the second half, a clever substitution and a difficult equalizer, the main player was injured and then overtaken by the opponent again in the 102nd minute of extra time.
Looking at the bench, you've played all the cards in your hand. There are only ten minutes left before the end of the game.
All game, 3-7 possession ratio, 7-20 shooting ratio, 2-5 on target, 1-5 corner...
It was almost crushed to no respite. There are few opportunities to attack. The opposite side has a constant stream of great opportunities.
Such a script to you, you will panic in the first few steps and start thinking about giving up?
But there is such a team, they did not give up, but gritted their teeth and persevered to the end.
In the 46th minute, Xiao Yuyi assisted Wu Chengshu to equalize.
In the 119th minute, Wang Shanshan grabbed a set-piece and attacked twice to grab the point.
In the penalty shootout, goalkeeper Zhu Yu saved the point twice.
In the end, in the fifth round of the penalty shootout, Wang Shanshan scored the winning penalty!
6-5！ We won!!!
The Chinese team reversed the reversal to win the Japanese women's football team and advanced to the final with its head held high!!!!!
This game brings together almost all the elements of a classic game. Against sworn enemies, absent first cards, two degrees behind, bold adjustments, two equalizers, 120 minutes of battle, the last minute draw, penalty win!
This game, which was not broadcast on CCTV, not only aroused the attention of the whole people, but also praised by the People's Daily, but also instantly swept the social media hot search list!
Rainbows of wind and rain, sonorous roses, the spirit of women's football in our memories, finally bloomed again!
If the miracle has color, it must be the proud frost red of the Sonorous Rose of chinese women's football!
As Wang Shuang wrote – "You can always believe that the Chinese women's football team !!!"

Thumbs up for women's soccer, not just today
However, it is not enough to reach the top of the hot search at this moment.
After winning the championship or winning the victory, the women's football team will always set off a wave of enthusiasm and trigger the praise of the public. However, after the applause faded, everything seemed to calm down.
Yes, many people don't pay attention to women's football, just when they win, casually forward a circle of friends, and then secretly satirize the men's football team - not to mention, the men's football team has just experienced a humiliating exit, and now the contrast is so strong.
As Wang Shuang said: "When you support the perspective of women's football, it is no longer to satirize the men's football team..."
In the past many years, people are often accustomed to only when the competition comes, they will think of the Chinese women's football team again, in terms of media communication, just like their nickname of "sonorous rose", the flowering period of the rose is only a short month, when the competition period passes, the results are low, and the glory of the women's football team quickly fades.
Supporting this group of women's football girls who fight for the country on a daily basis is what we should do more.

Support women's soccer, please take action
It must be acknowledged that we cannot rely on spirit alone.
The Japanese women's soccer team, which lost to us, had the advantage in the scene and won the championship before us in the World Cup.
Their rapid rise stems from the complete youth training system of the Japanese women's football team, through the scientific and complete physical fitness training in the youth stage and the cultivation of technical and tactical literacy awareness, timely discovery and solution of existing problems, so as to lay a solid foundation for these team members to improve their ability to read the game and enhance their technical and tactical awareness after entering the adult team.
Fortunately, more and more Chinese women's football players began to come out, they came to the European stage, and encouraged more girls to start playing football and enjoy football on social media.
