Let the 2 chase the 3! In the third minute of injury time, Xiao Yuyi scored a winning goal, and the Chinese women's football team reversed the South Korean women's football team 3-2! After 16 years, we are standing on the top of Asia again!
This night, the Chinese women's football team once again created its own miracle. At this moment, the Chinese women's football team is not exaggerated with any praise.
Number one: Don't toss
After the game, the Weibo hot search list was immediately dominated by the women's football team, and the top five nouns were related to the game - in the last two days of the Spring Festival holiday, the Chinese short track speed skating team won the first gold of the Winter Olympics, and then the Chinese women's football team staged a shocking reversal to win the Asian Cup championship.
The haze of losing 1-3 to Vietnam on the first day of the National Football Festival is slowly dissipating...
You know, before the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team is also facing severe public pressure. After all, the results at the Tokyo Olympics half a year ago were too dismal – a 5-0 loss to Brazil and a 0-8 defeat to the Netherlands.
The blow of these two losses to the women's football team is self-evident, the then head coach Jia Xiuquan was immediately dismissed, and there was even no official notice of his dismissal, only the later coach selection notice let the outside world know that the Chinese women's football team has begun to "restart".
In fact, the history of women's football is not without fiasco - the 2004 Athens Olympic Games Chinese women's football team was also defeated by Germany 8-0, but at that time the women's football foundation was still relatively strong, only the selection of the coach level made a mistake, Ma Liangxing replaced Zhang Haitao after the Chinese women's football team also had a small rebound.
Two years later, the team won the Asian Cup in Australia, which was also the last time the Chinese women's football team reached the top of the Asian Cup.
But the special thing about the fiasco of the Tokyo Olympics is that the Chinese women's football team, which has long been regarded as one of the symbols of sportsmanship, has begun to be plagued by more and more negative public opinion, such as the controversy over the selection of Jia Xiuquan, which was hotly discussed in the industry during the Olympic Games.
In the subsequent women's football coach selection process, the "neiding theory" has never disappeared - the current coach Shui Qingxia even refused to participate in the competition.
Fortunately, after the peak circuit turned, Shui Qingxia was directly appointed as the women's football coach, but this process also caused questions from the outside world.
Losing is acceptable, but give it your all
When the Chinese men's football team is still looking for the bottom, the women's football team has taken the lead in completing the bottoming rebound, and the process during this period is actually not complicated.
First of all, the women's football team chose a reliable coach - Shui Qingxia has been working in the women's football world for a long time, from the youth team to the adult team, the achievements are remarkable, from the former international football team to the current women's football manager, her enthusiasm and familiarity with the entire women's football team is indeed the most suitable for chinese women's football at this stage.
From the semi-final against Japan to the final against South Korea, the Chinese women's football team has experienced a total of four times behind, but Shui Qingxia has always been able to get the team back to the right rhythm of the game through reasonable adjustments.
All these adjustments were made in the case of the super core Wang Shuang's inability to play in the semi-finals, and the final was not in good condition due to injury.
Of course, more importantly, the women's football team has found the spirit of "sonorous roses". After beating Japan in the semifinals, People's Daily praised the Chinese women's football team in 10 words - "what is indomitable, women's football is a model".
In fact, whether it is the fiasco of women's football in the Olympic Games or the historic loss of the men's football team in Vietnam on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the lack of spirit of the two teams at that time is very obvious - sometimes, the bottom line of Chinese fans is not high, and the loss is acceptable, but they want to go all out.
And when the Chinese women's football team finds its spirit, it will naturally be able to get unanimous recognition.
The players threw up coach Shui Qingxia.
Now step forward from the beginning
Of course, just the right manager and the spirit of hard work can not help the women's football team to return to the heights it once was.
It can only be said that the Chinese women's football team has found the right way to move forward at present - this Asian Cup champion should become a new starting point.
Now, it's time to get back on the road.
The silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the runner-up in the 1999 Women's World Cup have now become an unattainable peak for Chinese women's football. With the attention of various European countries to women's football, the level of women's football in men's football powers such as the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain is experiencing leapfrog development, compared with the pace of China's women's football development, or some backwardness.
In recent years, in fact, many fans and even some female football players have also issued soul torture questions - "When is it not to support the Chinese women's football team to ridicule the Chinese men's football team?" When will you and your friends support girls to play football? When did our league have a stable pattern? ”......
This question mark still needs to be answered slowly.
The road to the rejuvenation of the Chinese women's football team, Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now he is stepping forward from the beginning.
