Beijing time last night (3rd), women's football Asian Cup semi-finals, the Chinese women's football team challenged the Japanese women's football team. In regular time, the two sides drew 1-1, and in extra time, the Japanese team scored a goal first, and Wang Shanshan was tied in the last moment, and the game finally entered a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, Chinese women's football goalkeeper Zhu Yu twice saved the Penalty of the Japanese team, and Wang Shanshan scored the winning penalty to help the Chinese women's football team defeat the Japanese team to reach the final of the Women's Asian Cup!
When everyone was not optimistic about the Chinese women's football team, they exploded their own energy. With no advantage in strength, the absolute core and the number one star Wang Shuang and temporarily injured before the game, the Chinese women's football team equalized in the last moment of extra time and won the penalty shootout.
Facing the japanese team, which is a bitter lord, the Chinese team has won an epic victory. In the absence of the number one star Wang Shuang, another team hero, Wang Shanshan, played a central role. On the basis of completing the cameo task of the center-back, Wang Shanshan, wearing the captain's armband, stepped forward from the team's desperate situation and sealed her throat with a super kill and a sword in the penalty shootout to help the Chinese women's football team to reach the Final Stage of the Asian Cup since 2008.
In a match with the Japanese women's football team, Wang Shuang was unable to enter the starting list because of his weak feet before the game. In the starting lineup of this Sino-Japanese battle, The Chinese women's football team sharp knife Wang Shanshan changed to playing center back in this campaign. In the face of the japanese team's superior personal ability and coordination ability of the midfielders, Wang Shanshan's campaign is like a needle in the sea, with her sitting in the Backline of the Chinese team, Shui Qingxia's team's defensive group maturity has been significantly improved. Some fans have commented that "Wang Shanshan is ramos level even if she plays at the center back".
As a striker, Wang Shanshan is impressed by her scoring ability in the midfield, of course. Before the Sino-Japanese war, Wang Shanshan had scored 4 goals in the Women's Asian Cup and was the absolute king of the team's penalty area. Facing the bitter japanese team, the offensive level of the Chinese team without Wang Shuang was greatly reduced. However, through the tenacious struggle of the adversity of the game, the sonorous rose dragged the suspense of the game to the last moment of the extra time.
The Chinese team, which was hit by the opponent consecutively, was given a free kick opportunity in the 119th minute of extra time, when Wang Shanshan also pressed into her familiar forward position, magically dragging the game into a penalty shoot with a calm goal pad shot.
In the penalty shootout, the two wonderful saves of Chinese goalkeeper Zhu Yu enabled Wang Shanshan to score the ball in the last round of the penalty to send the Chinese team to the final. This time, Wang Shanshan did not miss this good opportunity to raise her eyebrows for Chinese football. In the final round of the penalty, she scored a steady penalty to help the Chinese women's football team reach the final of the Asian Cup.
The defensive end shows the veteran's amazement, and the offensive end shows the responsibility of the captain. Wang Shanshan's outstanding performance made her the MVP of the whole venue without suspense.
It is hoped that at the beginning of the next Asian Cup final, Wang Shuang's physical condition can be restored, so that Wang Shanshan and Wang Shuang, the "Wang Bomb Combination" of women's football, will become the winning instrument in the team's final, and Wang Shanshan, the captain who once scored 9 goals for the Chinese women's football team in a single game, can also launch a powerful impact on the goal of the Asian Cup Golden Boot. After the Asian Cup, will Wang Shanshan closely follow the trend of Chinese football and choose to stay in the ocean to see the outside world?
In the key battle of the Chinese women's football team against Japan in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup of women's football, the fans achieved a surprising result and also witnessed the birth of a new door god: Zhu Yu, who played for the Wuhan Jiangda women's football team. Once upon a time, the Chinese women's football team fell into a quagmire that seemed difficult to get rid of, and the number of goals conceded by the team reflected the shortcomings of the goalkeeper; but today's performance of Zhu Yu made the Chinese women's football team raise its eyebrows and breathe, and saved the Chinese football in the storm. Zhu Yu's three divine pokes in the whole game remind people of the old door god of the golden age of women's football, and even more let people sigh that "sonorous roses" have never been followed.
After Shui Qingxia took over the team, veteran Zhao Lina returned to the national team; however, standing in front of the goal line in this game was Zhu Yu, who had rarely played before. Born in Liaoning in 1997, Zhu Yu grew up in the youth training system of Wuhan Jiangda University, which was only the third main season of her women's football career. In 2020, Zhu Yu was selected for the national team coached by Jia Xiuquan, but he was unable to play because of Peng Shimeng's solid position. However, during this period, Zhu Yu won the 2020 Women's Super League championship in the league, especially in the first time in history when Wuhan failed to train for half a year, and her contribution can be seen. Zhu Yu, who has enough ability, is looking forward to proving his big-game performance in the Asian arena.
Zhu Yu's success comes from his outstanding ability to play high-altitude balls and his excellent ability to save points. In the past two seasons, Wuhan Jiangda Women's Football Team is almost the only team in the league that has conceded fewer goals every year, which proves the effect of her outstanding "comparative advantage". In the first group stage against Chinese Taipei, Zhu Yu started to ensure a clean sheet; in the quarterfinals against Vietnam, Zhu Yu started and lost the ball at the beginning, but did not receive too much threat after that, and finally helped the women's football team advance to the final four.
In this semi-final, Zhu Yu's performance became more and more courageous. In the 75th minute, the Japanese team crossed from the left, Zhu Yu did not judge the ball path, but abandoned the goal to attack, leaving an empty goal for the opponent, fortunately, Riko Ueki's shot was slightly off; in the 105th minute, Wang Xiaoxue made a mistake, the Japanese captain Nokaze Hana hung the goal, Zhu Yu forced the air in an unfavorable position, and saved the ball. The longer the time passed, the more calm Zhu Yu's performance became. In the whole game, the Japanese team shot as many as 20 times and shot 5 times on target, Zhu Yu made 3 successful saves, and another 2 interfered with the opponent's shot, which has performed very well in regular time.
But Zhu Yu's next two divine pounces definitely played a role in saving the whole team. After Wang Shanshan's draw, the game entered a penalty shootout, and in the first round of penalties, the Japanese team sent legendary star and captain Sashi Kumagaya. Facing an experienced world-class star, Zhu Yu was not in a hurry, completely ignoring the opponent's fake action, guessing the direction to press this weak penalty under his body. The unknown rookie goalkeeper killed the captain in the first round of penalties, which made the psychological pressure of the Japanese team directly explode.
In the last round of the penalty, it was Zhu Yu who stood in front of the goal, facing another central defender on the other side, Nan Menghua. In the previous three rounds, Zhu Yu pounced on his left side, and the Japanese team also easily hit the penalty, which made the Japanese center-back want to continue to try the bottom corner of the left side of the goal. But when Nan Menghua stepped out, Zhu Yu suddenly shifted his center of gravity to the left, pounced on the side of the trend, and accurately blocked the opponent's penalty. Two penalties refused! Zhu Yu's performance made Wang Shanshan's final killer point shot seem easy, and also helped the Chinese women's football team defeat the Japanese women's football team again after 5 years.
In fact, saving penalties can be said to be a major strength of Zhu Yu himself. In the past Women's Super League, Zhu Yu has faced Guangdong, Henan and Shanghai have all had recorded save points; this time the two penalties are also a show of the youngster's "big heart". And Zhu Yu's penalty save ability is also reminiscent of Gao Hong, who won three penalties against Sweden, Han Wenxia, the king of the women's Super League save point, and the goal line sister of the Domansky era, and Zhang Yanru, who also became famous in the Asian Cup. Yes, Zhu Yu's style and temperament and game status remind people of the best era of women's football; and if she can win the Asian Cup with the team, the era of her door god may also officially open.
The outstanding performance of the Chinese women's football team in this game is obviously not something that can be done with hard work or spirit, and the strategizing and calmness of head coach Shui Qingxia is also an important reason why the women's football team can face Japan without falling behind. Whether it is pre-match arrangement or mid-match adaptation, she has proved herself as the most suitable coach for women's football coaches.
In fact, the women's football team before the Asian Cup to participate in the competition, the performance of the Chinese women's football team is not strong, the group stage opponents contain gold needless to say, the eight finals against the Vietnamese team, the Chinese women's football team actually lost a goal first, the last moment also gave the opponent a penalty, if it is not the opponent to lose the penalty, the Chinese women's football team will only be able to win this Southeast Asian weak brigade with one goal. On the other hand, the opponent Japan women's football team defeated the Thai women's football team 7-0, coupled with the sitting of Arsenal midfielder Jina Iwabuchi, all walks of life were infinitely optimistic about the Japanese women's football team before the game. In the starting lineup of the Chinese women's football team, Wang Shuang's name was not seen. According to reports, she has a weak foot in training, and the Chinese women's football team can be described as unfavorable.
Shui Qingxia's response was to choose to use Wu Chengshu, who played for Jiangsu women's football team, instead of Wang Shuang to start. The 25-year-old winger has rarely made a appearance in the national team before, but in the last game against Vietnam, Wu Chengshu, who came off the bench, became the sharpest player in the Chinese women's football team, and she even used the rather masculine technique of pedaling through people. In the case of lack of experience, Shui Qingxia has no doubt about employing people. And newcomer Wu Chengshu also returned Shui Qingxia's trust. Under the strategy of the whole team to focus on defense, Wu Chengshu interfered with the Japanese organization well in the front court, and her presence also prevented the Japanese team from focusing all its energy on the attack. At the beginning of the second half, Wu Chengshu grabbed a point in front of Xiao Yuyi's pass! Wu Chengshu, who completed the task of attacking and defending at both ends, was substituted in the 80th minute.
Shui Qingxia's other decision was even bolder. The team's top scorer, Wang Shanshan, was put on the defensive line by Shui Qingxia. This bold decision actually contains Shui Qingxia's painstaking heart, and in the last round of the match against Vietnam, the Chinese women's football team made many mistakes in the back line. Shui Qingxia also hoped that Wang Shanshan could stabilize the back line and make the back line less flustered. In the game, Wang Shanshan also played this role. She completed many steals and clearances in the game, and became the anchor of the back line. The Japanese women's football team, which had the overall advantage in strength and statistics throughout the game, did not get any absolute opportunities except for a passing error by the Chinese women's football team, including two goals from the Japanese team, which was also scored by Japanese players with a header that they were not good at. This arrangement of Shui Qingxia is a stroke of god, and as for Wang Shanshan's absolute peace at the last moment, it is more like a return for the Chinese women's football team to "do everything and know the destiny of heaven".
In addition, Shui Qingxia's arrangement in the race is also a classic. Xiao Yuyi, who came on as a substitute, assisted Wu Chengshu in breaking the goal just after he debuted. In the case of the team's passivity, Shui Qingxia replaced Wu Chengshu, who was exhausted, and replaced by Wang Yanwen, who had stronger running ability. Gao Chen also withstood the pressure in the penalty shootout and scored a goal. Another major contributor to the Chinese women's football team is Zhu Yu, who contributed three saves in regular time and rejected his opponent twice in the penalty shootout. Her appearance is also the result of Shui Qingxia's decisive abandonment of the more experienced Peng Shimeng and Zhao Lina. Compared with yamashita apricot, whose opponent has saved zero times in the whole game, Shui Qingxia's choice has also become a good move.
In today's context, The Chinese women's football team seems to have become the last hope of Chinese football. However, only those who pay attention to Chinese football know how difficult the development of Chinese women's football in recent years has been and how difficult it is to defeat Japan. From the fiasco of the Tokyo Olympics half a year ago to the fact that she is only one step away from returning to the top of Asia, Shui Qingxia's coaching can be described as indispensable. If Wang Shuang can make a smooth comeback in the final, the command of Shui Qingxia's guidance will also be more relaxed.
Ma Dexing: The fiasco at the Olympics made the women's football team unprofitable, and only now has the freedom it has today
In the semi-finals of the 20th Women's Asian Cup, which ended in the early morning of February 4, Beijing time, the Chinese women's football team eliminated Japan with a total score of 6-5 through a penalty shootout, and reached the final again after 14 years, and will compete for the championship with South Korea, which has reached the final for the first time in history, on February 6. In the context of the fiasco of the Chinese men's football team, the Chinese women's football team finally came with good news on the occasion of the New Year, which also made the Chinese football people breathe a little breath, and it made the Chinese fans feel comfortable. At this time, the various praises of media fans seem to be too much for the Chinese women's football team. However, the girls are not yet completely happy, after all, there is a more important final. What the reporter wants to say most after winning this crucial battle is that I hope that our administrators will continue to stay away from the Chinese women's football team!
Of course, it is gratifying that the Chinese women's football team eliminated the Japanese women's football team, but only half a year ago in the Tokyo Olympic Games, we also lost 0-4 to the Brazilian women's football team, 2-8 to the Dutch women's football team, and conceded 17 goals in the three group matches! Such a humiliating scene will not cease to exist because of the elimination of the Japanese women's football team this time. And until now, except for the change of women's football coach from Jia Xiuquan to Shui Qingxia, the relevant authorities have not given the public a statement and explanation after a fiasco.
The fiasco at the Tokyo Olympics was a complete and utter man-made disaster. Some people take advantage of the "favorable conditions" that the attention of Chinese women's football is far from being comparable to that of men's football, and use the usual power techniques in administrative management to turn women's football into a tool and platform for personal profit. This has been vividly demonstrated in the determination of the list of Olympic personnel. But to some extent, the Chinese women's football team can break into the final of the Asian Cup this time, and it also needs to "thank" those "invisible" things half a year ago! The Tokyo Olympics were an irregular crusade, and the fiasco forced some people to take back that "outstretched hand" and be scrupulous under the pressure of public opinion and fans.
And due to the fiasco at the Tokyo Olympics, the new women's football team led by Shui Qingxia was not optimistic about the outside world before the Asian Cup, and it seemed unlikely that there would be more benefits, so after the women's football team began training and preparing for the Asian Cup in Shanghai, the relevant people seemed to be far away from the women's football team. This allows the Chinese women's football team to carry out normal preparations for the competition in accordance with the rules and methods it should have. In the absence of administrative intervention, the Chinese women's football team does not have the same shackles as in the past, but can focus more on technology and tactics, focusing on football itself. This is why the girls let go of their hands and feet to kill the bloody road, and let the fans see a glimmer of hope again, which should be the gospel of the Chinese women's football team.
But the reporter felt a little worried. It is precisely because people have seen the hope of revitalization again, women's football seems to be able to add capital for some people to "promote and get rich", and may not be able to help but start to "care" about everything in detail, then the reconstruction and development of women's football respect for the laws of football may be interrupted again. So, please continue to stay away from the Chinese women's football team! Only by allowing the Chinese women's football team to continue to fly freely can we move forward along the right track and towards a higher goal!
