After eliminating Japan in the semi-finals of the 2022 Women's Asian Cup, Wang Shuang spoke out on his personal social platform: "You can always trust the Chinese women's football team!" On the evening of February 6, Beijing time, the Chinese women's football team defeated the South Korean women's football team 3:2 in a peak showdown, and in the case of two goals behind. After 16 years, he won the Asian Cup for the ninth time. These two bloody and gut-pumping counterattacks make us believe that this Chinese women's football team, which is on the right path, will bring us more surprises in the future competition!
At the Tokyo Olympics 6 months ago, we couldn't believe the Chinese women's football team. Especially on the evening of July 27 last year, in the final round of the Women's Football Group F of the Tokyo Olympic Games, when the Chinese women's football team lost 2:8 to the Netherlands, and finally lost two losses and one draw and accumulated 1 point, bidding farewell to the Tokyo Olympic Games in advance, we were not only deeply disappointed, but even a little desperate. Is this still the Chinese women's football team that once made our blood boil and wrote the legend of "sonorous roses" in the 1999 World Cup? Will the Chinese women's football team collapse and sink from now on?

After Jia Xiuquan left office, Shui Qingxia took over the Shuai Seal. From the announcement of the first training list on December 8 last year to the flight to India on January 15 this year, there was only one month left for Shui Qingxia to prepare for this Asian Cup. Compared with Jia Xiuquan's period, Shui Qingxia changed a lot of team members after taking office. As the first match of the Asian Cup is approaching, people also look at Shui Qingxia's debut with many question marks, and finally the Chinese women's football team defeated Chinese Taipei 4:0, won the opening red, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. In a strong dialogue with the Japanese women's football team, the Chinese women's football team stubbornly drew with the Japanese women's football team in 120 minutes and reached the final through a penalty shootout. Looking at this desperate and thrilling battle, people exclaimed: The sonorous rose is back!
As a former Chinese football star, what did Shui Qingxia bring to this team? The first is to demote talents in an eclectic manner, whether they are veterans or newcomers, as long as they have the ability, they can be returned to the account. The second is professionalism, before becoming the head coach of the Chinese women's football team, Shui Qingxia has been coaching the Shanghai women's football team for a long time, which not only makes this team rank first in the country for a long time, but also trains Tang Jiali and many other international footballers. The most valuable thing is that she also injected this team with a spirit of not accepting defeat that the older generation of women's football players have.
As long as you walk on the right path, you won't wait too long when you realize your dream. From Tokyo to India, the Chinese women's football team has regained its life. We believe in Shui Qingxia, and we also believe that these Chinese women's football teams can continue to rank at the forefront of Asia after coming out of the trough, and strive for good results in the 2022 Asian Games and the 2023 World Cup!
