After the round of 12, many fans felt unfinished, so it was natural to turn their attention to the Women's Asian Cup. The Chinese team was also very competitive, eliminating the strong opponents all the way and finally stepped onto the stage of the final as desired. At 19:00 on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year in Beijing, the Chinese team and the South Korean team will launch an attack on the highest podium, according to the news of the reporter with the team, Wang Shuang and Lou Jiahui, the two cores will return to the line of fire to help the team.
In the semi-final against Japan, it was precisely because of Wang Shuang's absence that the Chinese team played very passively throughout the game, and was eliminated within the regular time of unloading first, but fortunately, Wang Shanshan and Xiao Yuyi scored goals successively, which gave Wang Shuang the opportunity to perform in the final. However, the Chinese team does not take the capital lightly, so the South Korean team is not an Asian fish belly team, their world ranking is high at 18, higher than the Chinese women's football team ranking. And in the quarter-finals, South Korea eliminated the biggest favorite to win the championship, Australia.
Recently, the core of the South Korean team, Chi Xiaoran (who scored 3 goals in this Asian Cup, is the team's top scorer Wang) gave an interview to their domestic interview, she said: "Although the strength of the Chinese team is very strong, we will not let them realize their dream of championship. We will continue the fiery state of eliminating Australia and the Philippines, defeating opponents and creating a new history of Korean football. In the previous Asian Cups, the Korean team has never won the championship, and even failed to reach the final, and this time it can face the Chinese team on the final stage, which is already a big improvement.
In contrast, the Chinese team, which has reached the final 11 times and won 8 championships, is the best performing team in the Asian Cup. However, from Chi Xiaoran's interview, it can be heard that she does not serve the Chinese team, otherwise she would not say that she would not let the Chinese women's football team realize its dream of winning the championship. At the same time, it can also be understood that Ji Xiaoran's South Korean women's football team has made perfect preparations for this final, how to play Australia and the Philippines before, use the same tricks against the Chinese team, which must also make Shui Qingxia alert, not to take it lightly, after all, it is extremely difficult to win the semi-finals with Japan.
In the last 10 meetings, the Chinese team has won 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, occupying a certain advantage, among which in the 2014 Women's Asian Cup third and fourth place finals, the Chinese team defeated South Korea 2-1 to get the third place. In the 2017 East Asian Four Nations Tournament, the Chinese team won the South Korean team 3-1 away from home, showing the style of the asian team. However, the South Korean team has also beaten the Chinese team with scores such as 1-0 and 3-2, which is also the confidence that they can challenge the Chinese women's football team.
On February 5, Beijing time, Shui Qingxia also accepted an interview with CCTV, and the always humble water guide said bluntly: "Even if I win the South Korean team and win the Asian Cup, I don't think this is a great achievement." It can be seen that Shui Qingxia's mentality now is very peaceful, not overly nervous or overconfident because of the final. CCTV5 is also very powerful, at the last moment decided to live broadcast this key Sino-Korean championship battle, when the Chinese women's football team is expected to present the best gift of the New Year to fans across the country.
