On February 5, Beijing time, before the women's Asian Cup play-off, the japanese head coach of the Women's Football Team of Taiwan Province, Echigo and Men, were very anxious. Eight of the staff members who were on the team tested positive and were no longer able to work. The team's rest time is shorter than that of the Vietnamese women's football team, and many things need to be done by players and coaches.
Although the pressure was high, the former Japanese player, who was unknown in the J-League, made a high-profile announcement that we had lost a chance to go straight to the World Cup in the quarterfinals. This time, in any case, the opportunity could not be allowed to slip away twice.
When the domestic media mentions Asian weak teams, they like to use the term "amateur players".
In fact, women's football in Taiwan Province of China started earlier than other provinces, and they have won the championship of the competition 3 times and runner-up 2 times. The last time I reached the final was 23 years ago.
Taiwan Province of China has its own women's football league, and its competitive level is much better than the truly semi-professional Taiwan Provincial Men's Football League. Last year, the MVP of the Mulan Women's Football League was won by a Japanese foreign aid.
In this competition, the women's football team of Taiwan Province of China performed well. So far, they have only lost one game to the Chinese women's football team in the 90-minute game.
Kazuo Echigo said this was the team's second chance because after they finished second in the group, they encountered the Philippine women's soccer team that was not strong in the quarterfinals.
As a result, the Women's Football Team of Taiwan Province of China drew with its opponents. In penalty shootouts, the team is not against the opponent. The Philippine women's football team used a lot of mixed-race and naturalized players, which led to the team's strength by leaps and bounds. In contrast, the women's football team in Taiwan Province of China is much more down-to-earth.
After beating Thailand 3-0, the Taiwan Provincial Women's Football Team had some advantages.
In the play-offs, the Vietnamese women's football team was a 2-0 thai women's football team. This means that they have one less goal difference than the women's football team in Taiwan Province of China.
If the final round of the match, the two teams draw. It will be the Vietnamese women's football team that will be out.
The group stage match against the Myanmar women's team has shown that the Vietnamese women's football team will be quite empty when it is pressed hard. And this is the opportunity for the women's football team in Taiwan Province of China.
Both teams are masters of counter-attack and have a strong ability to seize opportunities.
The Women's Football Team of Taiwan Province of China has a stronger defense. In previous matches, only the Chinese women's football team and the Philippine women's football team had knocked on their doors. In the match with the Chinese women's football team, they once did not have much to do with the Chinese women's football team in defense. They are also one of the few Asian 2-class teams that can keep up with the pace of Chinese women's football.
However, the small technology under the feet of the Vietnamese women's football team is prominent. The players react quickly and any chance they can seize.
Domestic coaches, whether Jia Xiuquan, Li Tie or Li Xiaopeng, have not spoken so domineeringly.
The chances of the national football team entering the World Cup are actually not much smaller than the women's football team in Taiwan Province. However, the performance of the two teams is somewhat different. So far, the national football team has only won 1 victory, and only 5 points have been obtained in total.
In fact, the women's football team in Taiwan Province of China has a way out. Even if they lose to the Vietnamese women's team, they will still participate in the intercontinental play-offs. Unlike men's soccer teams, Asian women's soccer teams are highly likely to qualify for the World Cup as long as they do not meet European teams in the draw. But their manager believes that the opportunity must be seized.
