I believe that there are still many fans who have not come out of the 1-3 away defeat of the national football team to Vietnam in the New Year's Day, which is a battle of shame in the absolute sense. Because the national football team has never lost to Vietnam before this, and in the first leg of the round of 12, the national football team also won 3-2 against the opponent. Although everyone knows that our national football strength has declined a lot, and Vietnamese football has improved rapidly in recent years, but in terms of the current strength of players, our national football team is still stronger than the opponent. Even if the strength of the two sides is even, it will not be led by the opponent for a long time 3-0, and it is not until the last moment to score a comfort goal, it can be said that the loss of this game is mainly due to the design of the technical tactics and the mood and state of the players themselves.
And just after this game, our other national team made a correct example, that is, our Chinese women's national football team. In the semi-finals of the 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team faced the powerful Japanese women's football team. Because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides, the Chinese women's football team has almost always been in a state of suppression. And the Japanese women's football team also took the lead early in the first half. Just when many fans think that the Chinese women's football team may lose the game. Our women's soccer girls equalized with their strong willpower. Immediately after that, the Japanese team once again led the Chinese women's football team in the first half of the extra time with great strength, just when everyone felt that the game was over. The Chinese women's football team also has veteran Wang Shanshan in the 119th minute to score a goal and draw the opponent. In the penalty shootout, the Chinese women's football team used a strong mentality to save two penalties from the other side, and finally killed the Japanese team 6-5, and entered the final of the Women's Asian Cup again after 14 years.
The victory of the Chinese women's football team not only made many fans re-understand football, but also boosted the spirit of Chinese fans. Suddenly, we feel that Chinese football is actually promising, and the most powerful advantage of Chinese football is our spiritual strength. Even if there is a gap in overall strength, with our indomitable willpower and opponents, we can hold them back and find opportunities to fight back and even defeat their opponents.
Between the performance of the men's and women's football teams, many fans also use this to criticize the Chinese men's football team. But in fact, the Chinese women's football team has also experienced a low period, just like the previous Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team under the guidance of Jia Xiuquan Jia, 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, the bottom out. The first game was a 5-0 defeat to Brazil, the second game was 4-4 by the Zambian women's team in the ranking of more than 100, and then lost 2-8 to the Dutch women's team. At that time, the Chinese women's football team could be described as a collapse, and even some fans thought that the sonorous rose no longer existed.
But soon after Shui Qingxia took office, the Chinese women's football team became alive again, gaining confidence after winning the National Games, and then taking the women's asian cup group stage to ride the dust, the Chinese women's football team recovered confidence through one victory after another, and the spirit of the sonorous rose was also found again. So what did Shui Qingxiashui guide do to make the Chinese women's football team recover quickly?
In fact, it is very simple, that is, Shui Qingxia's guidance has invited many veterans who have been abandoned by Jia Xiuquan's guidance. For example, Li Ying, a center on the front line, Li Jiayue in the midfield back position, Lou Jiahui on the defensive side, Ma Jun on the midfield side, and Zhang Rui, a midfielder. The return of these veterans has stabilized the morale of the military, strengthened the strength of the team, and set an example for young players. The experience and key play of the veterans at key moments have helped the Chinese women's football team.
So now it seems that Jia Xiuquan did not bring this group of excellent veterans with him, but instead selected more young players with no experience in major competitions to play in the Olympic Games, which is a wrong idea. Because young players need to play to grow, but they need more victories to build confidence, if only these young players are selected, they are inexperienced in the face of the big game, and they are still nervous, and even lack in strength, and the final result is a rout. And this rout will not help the growth of players, but will make them lose confidence, self-loss, self-doubt, and affect their growth.
Therefore, Water Guidance can bring the women's football team well, and the most correct thing to do is to make the lineup of the Chinese women's football team more reasonable, combining the old, the middle and the young. There are veterans sitting in peace, there are middle generations on the field to stand, and there are young players who have vitality and momentum on the field. Such a team is difficult to destroy at once. In fact, Jia Xiuquan's coaching also led the women's football team and the Japanese women's football team in the semi-finals of the Asian Games before, and also played overtime, which also gave us hope. But then he gave up on his options, and the Olympics ended up failing.
The same is true for the Chinese men's football team, in fact, it is the same, but unfortunately, the current men's football team does not have the conditions of the Chinese women's football team, because the mesozoic generation of the men's football team is almost completely missing, and the young players are top-notch, and there are very few who can shoulder the responsibility. So this is also why when the famous coach Lippi coached the national football team, he would eventually choose a list of the oldest in the Asian Cup. Because for the sake of results, he can only trust the veteran, there is no other way. But how long can our veterans survive?
Therefore, if Chinese football wants to get better, respect science, respect the development law of football, and then follow the development law step by step, it is the only correct path. We believe that as long as we do this, Chinese football will be successful. What do you think? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
