6-5 thrilling elimination of Japan, 3-2 reversal of South Korea, the Chinese women's football team once again reached the top of Asia after 16 years, coach Shui Qingxia also successfully "sealed the god" with the semi-finals and finals. Shui Qingxia's performance in leading the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup also made the Chinese Football Association feel embarrassed and "punched" the Football Association. You know, in the previous stage of coach selection, the football association once set the coach was Zhao Junzhe, not Shui Qingxia. Fortunately, at the last moment, the top management turned the tide, bypassed the Football Association, and directly hand-picked Shui Qingxia, which led to the current Asian championship.
At the just-concluded Asian Cup of the Indian Women's Football Team, the Chinese team performed very well, which surprised fans across the country. In the group stage, the Chinese team defeated Chinese Taipei 4-0 and Iran 7-0, and advanced to the quarterfinals in the first round due to India's withdrawal. However, it is also the withdrawal of the host India that has affected the preparation rhythm of the Chinese team to a certain extent. So in the knockout round against Vietnam, the Chinese team once slowed down and conceded a goal shortly after the opening. At the critical moment, the Chinese women's football team readjusted its deployment, pulled 3 goals in a row under the adjustment of Shui Qingxia, and finally reversed 3-1 and advanced to the semifinals.
In the semi-finals, facing the bitter lord Japan, the Chinese team ushered in the most powerful test. The number one star Wang Shuang was injured, the Chinese women's football team did not give up, twice behind twice equalized, forcibly dragged the opponent into the penalty shootout, and with Zhu Yu's magical play, eliminated Japan 6-5.
In the final against South Korea, the performance of the Chinese team was even more inspiring. Due to the 120 minutes of play against Japan and the physical damage, the Chinese team performed poorly in the first half, conceding 2 goals in a row, but the Chinese team still did not give up, and in the second half, through consecutive substitutions, it won 2 goals in a row, and finally it was a stoppage time kill, and successfully resolved the battle within 90 minutes. 3-2, the Chinese team regained the Asian championship after a gap of 16 years.
If the victory in the group stage and the quarterfinals against Vietnam is not enough to reflect Shui Qingxia's coaching ability, then the outstanding performance of Japan and South Korea fully proves her ability, excellent on-the-spot adjustment, dare to win by surprise, and prove that she is a very, very good manager. The Chinese women's football team was able to win the Asian championship, and Shui Qingxia was the first achievement.
With Shui Qingxia leading the Chinese women's football team to win the championship, 2 miracles were also born. 1, the Chinese women's football team has won the Asian Cup championship 8 times before, the coaches are all men, Shui Qingxia became the first female coach to lead the Chinese women's football team to win the championship; 2, Shui Qingxia player era once represented the Chinese team 5 to win the Asian Cup championship, this time leading the team to win the championship, making her the first person in the history of winning the Women's Asian Cup championship as a player and manager. Seeing Shui Qingxia so accomplished, is the FA embarrassed? Does your face hurt?
