Top star Wang Shuang was accidentally injured before the game, and the Chinese women's football team fell behind in the face of the strongest Japanese team in Asia.
Behind the goal number of 7-22 but can win with a weak victory, the Chinese women's football team has stepped forward Wang Shanshan, Xiao Yuyi, and more successful tactical adjustments by coach Shui Qingxia.
Compared to the men's team losing to Japan and then being humiliated by Vietnam, our sonorous roses interpreted what is called the correct winning posture.
01. Tactical Game: Shui Qingxia asked the centre-backs to expand their defensive range
a. Let Wang Shanshan partner Wang Xiaoxue play center back: ensure the aggressiveness and movement efficiency of the defensive end
As can be seen from the tactical board, the Chinese women's football team arranged Wang Shanshan and Wang Xiaoxue as center-back partners in this game, and their value in air defense and defensive sweeping is great. Also arranged in front of tang jiali in front, she can play a certain role in taking the ball and alleviating the pressure on the back line.
As can be seen from the GIF, this time Wang Xiaoxue's head ball is a clear proof that it is really not easy for the Japanese women's football team to break through the sonorous rose defense line from the front.
Through the center-back position players' front top defense, the distance between the midfield line and the back line is reduced, making it difficult for the Japanese women's football team to play the penetration of the middle.
Wang Shanshan has advantages in speed and strength, plus Yao Wei also has experience in playing center back, and she can also make up for it properly when necessary.
It can be seen very clearly from the GIF that this time Zhang Linyan's passing error allowed the opponent to get a counterattack opportunity, and as a result, Wang Shanshan blocked the space in time to defend the front. Yao Wei then defended closely in time and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
b. Behind the 7-22 shot: The Chinese women's football team has a way to decompress
In this game, the Chinese women's football team only has half the ball control rate of the opponent, and the number of shots on goal is less than one-third of the Japanese women's football team. However, under Shui Qingxia's tactical arrangement, the team has certain means of coping.
Tang Jiali has good strength, although she can't really complete the counterattack push by herself, but at least she can complete the effective back-to-back ball. This time the successful creation of fouls gave the team some respite.
Looking at this attack again, Tang Jiali took the ball strongly on the front line, and her confrontation advantage was obvious, although she could not effectively complete the push to the 30-meter area, but it could also ensure a certain amount of possession time and effectively pushed through the center circle.
02. A weakness allows Japan to find an opportunity & Shui Qingxia's magical substitution to reverse the situation
a. There is a weak point of defense: caught by the Japanese team
Under the tactical deployment of Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia in this game, the team has a weakness that cannot be covered up. When the other side finds the opportunity to cross from the flanks, hit the combined part of the two centre-backs or the landing point behind, Wang Shanshan, as a guest candidate, does have some problems.
The goal of the Japanese women's football team was that the cross hit Wang Xiaoxue's back and Wang Shanshan's body. Riko Ueki's beautiful head-shaking attack gave Japan a 1-0 lead.
Later in the first half, Japan had another chance to score, and it was Riko Ueki who received a cross from her teammate at the back post, but fortunately the shot was deflected.
Looking at this attack again, the Japanese team sent a cross from the right into the box, Miyazawa Hatada once again found the opportunity, fortunately the header was also high.
b. The god substitution received a miracle effect: Xiao Yuyi assisted on the field
Seeing that the team had a disadvantage on the flanks, Shui Qingxia replaced Xiao Yuyi with a certain ability to take the ball and intersperse after halftime. The player, who can attack on both his left and right feet, can be described as an immediate success after playing.
This time she inserted herself into the ribs of the penalty area and sent a high-quality cross with her left foot, allowing Wu Chengshu in the middle to grab the point and equalize.
Xiao Yuyi's tactical value is not only that the core area can be interspersed and passed, but also has a certain degree of foot dribbling and propulsion ability. This time, she took the ball and then connected 2 people, which impressed countless fans.
The Chinese women's football team has a certain foot technique, but there is still a big gap with Japan as a whole. But through strong confrontation, the players can also find a lot of opportunities in the game.
This time Xiao Yuyi bumped into the opponent to take the ball, which is an excellent example.
After successfully taking the ball, Xiao Yuyi sent a wonderful pass to his teammates, but unfortunately the teammates were not prepared enough to stop the ball and missed an opportunity to make a quasi-single knife.
In the absence of Wang Shuang in this game, Xiao Yuyi's appearance played a good substitution role and gave the team a great surprise.
03. The biggest contributor of this women's football team: Wang Shanshancheng is the pillar of the defensive line + overtime is a draw
a. Wang Shanshan is very effective on the defensive end: fast movement is a characteristic
The best player in this women's football team is captain Wang Shanshan, who played a good tactical role as a cameo center-back from the front. She has a certain speed and strength advantage, and although she is somewhat lacking in consciousness, she can play a good role.
Although her height is not very high, Wang Shanshan's explosive power is very good, and her starting height is also good, especially the speed is fast, and she can control the first point of the high ball in front of and behind.
The most typical example is this continuous defense, Wang Shanshan first quickly blocked the shot, and then continued to the line of the big penalty area for the first time, forcing the player who forced the opponent to get two points of attack opportunity can only cross the weak side.
After the teammates returned to the defense, Wang Shanshan moved to her defensive position and completed the header to clear the siege, so that the Japanese team's three consecutive attacks failed to create a threat.
b. Score the winning penalty after a draw: Wang Shanshan is fantastic!
After extra time, the opponent took advantage of an anti-offside opportunity to break the goal and once again take a 2-1 lead. The Chinese women's football team did not have too many counterattack means at that time, and the adjustments that the team could make had been exhausted, and it could only wait for the players on the field to save themselves.
Wang Shanshan, who did not give up, took advantage of a free kick attack opportunity at the last moment to grab a point in front of the goal in the second wave of attack, so that the Chinese women's football team, which was already on the verge of being out, came back to life.
In the final penalty shootout, the goalkeeper saved the opponent's penalty, and the fifth penalty Wang Shanshan sealed his throat with a sword, allowing the Chinese women's football team to defeat the Japanese women's football team incredibly.
Also scored 2 goals by the opponent, the Chinese men's football team can only be glad that the opponent is not good at shooting, and he has no ability to fight back. There was only one touch in the opponent's penalty area, and the course of the game was far more shocking than the score.
They may have many reasons: no home stadium, lack of warm-up opportunities, hasty head coaches (women's football also just changed coaches after the Olympic Games), and domestic league wage arrears due to the epidemic (only millions of salaries, the quality of life has dropped significantly). But in front of the women's football team, these excuses are so ridiculous.
Conclusion:
After winning this match, the Chinese women's football team successfully reached the final of the Asian Cup. The next game will face the old rival South Korea, I don't know if I can go further. Regardless of the final outcome, this women's football team deserves more praise, because they have already sent a big surprise to the fans in the Spring Festival.
