In the end, Wang Shuang scored three goals alone before leading the Chinese women's football team to eliminate the South Korean women's football team 4-3 on aggregate to enter the Olympic games.
In this campaign, Shui Qingxia continued to choose to change the lineup, Wang Shuang returned to the starting lineup, she and Tang Jiali partnered as a double forward, Golden Boots level shooter Wang Shanshan served as the captain while making a cameo at the center back, she and Wang Xiaoxue partnered in the center back, Yao Wei and Lou Jiahui served as left and right defenders, goalkeeper Zhu Yu; in the midfield, Shui Qingxia chose to let Wu Chengshu, Yao Lingwei, Gao Chen, Zhang Xin 4 people partner, both offensive and defensive, the formation was 442.
In the game, the Chinese women's football team played the card advantage, and Wang Shuang, who returned from injury, was very active, but his foot was not good, and he got a great chance to shoot in the 9th minute of the game, but unfortunately he did not catch up with his right foot, and the shot was saved by the goalkeeper. The South Korean women's football team chose to play a defensive counterattack, and as the game progressed, the weakness of the Chinese women's football team was exposed, and the speed of retracement was too slow, resulting in the South Korean women's football team quickly seizing the opportunity.
In the 26th minute of the game, the South Korean women's football team, ranked 4th in Asia, counterattacked, tearing through the Chinese women's football defense line in a simple and rough way, Li Jinwei inserted from the right side of the road, directly throwing away the Chinese women's football left defender Lou Jiahui, directly crossed into the penalty area, Cui Youli, who was surrounded by the middle road, directly suppressed Wang Shanshan, easily swept the goal, and the Chinese women's football team fell behind 0-1.
In the 29th minute of the game, the Chinese women's football team, which was behind by a goal behind the Asian Cup 8 champions, was once again targeted by the Korean women's football team, the back line was not tight, and was suppressed by the Positioning of the Korean women's football team, fortunately, Zhu Yushen pounced to resolve the danger; unfortunately, the Chinese women's football team still failed to stop the decline, the 45+ 2 minutes of the game, the Chinese women's football team gave a big gift in defense, Yao Lingwei handball foul, the referee awarded a penalty, Chi Xiaoran took the penalty, Although Zhu Yu made a precise divine pounce, but the quality of Chi Xiaoran's shot was too high, and the ball was still in the net, The Chinese women's football team trailed 0-2 at half-time.
Throughout the first half, the Chinese women's football team and the South Korean women's football team played a five-to-five situation, the Chinese women's football team fell behind due to the poor ability to seize opportunities, the threat of attack was obviously inferior to the opponent, resulting in the attack was fruitless, the defense avalanche, the first time this Asian Cup fell behind 0-2 in the half. Wang Shuang was very helpless due to the lack of enough support, and at the same time did not adjust his own state to the nearest.
It has to be said that Shui Qingxia's change of position in this battle was wrong, 2 major disadvantages were targeted, first, the back line is old, Lou Jiahui is 30 years old, Wang Shanshan is 32 years old; second, continuous hard battles expose physical problems, the last game with the Japanese team played a full 120 minutes, the consumption is very large, the South Korean women's football team is 2-0 light to win the Philippines. In the second half, as a team that has won the Asian Cup eight times, the Chinese women's football team needs to show stronger tenacity, repeating the miracle of beating the Korean women's football team last year and the Japanese women's football team last time.
