In the semi-finals of the 2022 Asian Cup women's football team, the Chinese women's football team defeated Japan 6-5 through penalties and advanced to the final. In another semi-final, the South Korean women's football team defeated the Philippine women's football team 2-0. The final was played by the Chinese women's football team against the Korean women's football team.
Historical records show that the Chinese women's football team is likely to defeat the South Korean women's football team and win the Asian Cup for the ninth time.
The Chinese and Korean women's football teams have fought 39 times in history, and the Chinese women's football team has achieved a record of 28 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses, occupying an absolute advantage. And in the last six games, the Chinese women's football team has not been defeated.
The Chinese women's football team participated in the Asian Cup for the first time in 1986. He won the championship in his first competition. The Chinese women's football team has participated in 14 Asian Cups, won 8 championships, 2 runners-up, and 3 third places, and won seven consecutive championships in 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1999, and won the championship again in 2006. After that, it went downhill, finishing second in 2008, fourth in 2010, third in 2014 and third in 2018.
The South Korean women's football team participated in 12 Asian Cups, failed to qualify in the group 7 times, finished fifth once (2018), finished fourth three times and finished third once. This year, the South Korean women's football team finally reached the final for the first time.
Whether it is in the Asian Cup, the Asian Games, or the Asian qualifiers, the performance of the Chinese women's football team is far stronger than that of the South Korean team. As long as the Chinese team plays at a normal level, it can defeat the South Korean team to win the championship.
Of course, we can't underestimate the Korean women's football team. South Korean women's football has been on the rise in recent years. This Asian Cup, the Korean women's football team has shown great strength.
In this Asian Cup, the Korean women's football team played five matches, the group stage 3-0 victory over the Vietnam women's football team, 2-0 victory over the Myanmar women's football team, 1-1 draw with the Japanese women's football team. In the quarterfinals, the South Korean women's football team defeated the Australian women's football team 1-0, and the semi-final 2-0 victory over the Philippine women's football team. They can beat the Vietnamese women's football team and the Australian women's football team, and the strength is still good. In particular, he can play 1-1 with the Japanese team, and the strength should not be underestimated.
Look at the recent match between the Chinese women's football team and the Korean women's football team. In 2021, the Chinese women's football team and the South Korean women's football team played two games in the Olympic qualifiers, the first China team won 2-1, the second regular time 1-2 behind the South Korean team, but scored a goal in extra time to win the opponent with a total score of 3-2. Two games were played in 2019, one 1-0 and the other 0-0. In 2017, the Chinese team won 3-1. In 2016, there was a fight, and the Chinese team won 1-0. Judging from these six games, although the Chinese team has the advantage, the advantage is not very large.
If the Chinese team wants to win the championship, it still has to play 120% of the spirit. Wang Shuang missed a match against Japan because he sprained his foot during training. Fortunately, the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team to advance to the final.
The Korean team is very jealous of Wang Shuang. Wang Shuang's strength is obvious to all, and he is very famous in the world women's football team. If Wang Shuang can resume playing against the South Korean team in time, it will be beneficial to the Chinese women's football team.
In an interview, Shui Qingxia did not make it clear whether Wang Shuang could participate in the match against the South Korean team. Just hope that Wang Shuang can recover as soon as possible. In the match between the Chinese women's football team and the Japanese women's football team, Wang Shuang also came to the stadium and wore sportswear. In fact, if the Chinese team is too far behind in that game, Wang Shuang does not rule out playing. I believe that after another 2-3 days of rest, Wang Shuang's injury can be better and more thorough, and he will return to the game in time.
According to relevant media reports, CCTV5 may modify the match program to broadcast the final between the Chinese women's football team and the South Korean women's football team. After all, if the Chinese women's football team wins the championship, it will be much more important than the Winter Olympics, and its influence will be much greater. Fans do not understand why CCTV always broadcasts the men's football team that loses, but does not broadcast the women's football team that can always win. The fans are already dissatisfied.
CCTV Sports is expected to respond to public opinion and broadcast the women's football final live. Yu Jing, a media person, said that CCTV Sports will broadcast the match live.
However, Xiang Chu checked the program list of CCTV5 and has not changed it. I hope that CCTV can have a long snack and conform to the wishes of the majority of fans.
