preface
In the 2022 India Asian Cup women's football final, the Chinese women's football team faced the South Korean women's football team.
This is a long-awaited contest for the Chinese people, and the process is also thrilling and gripping.
In the first half, the Chinese team fell behind by a score of 0:2, and in the face of the backward situation, the Chinese women's football team under the guidance of Shui Qingxia methodically adjusted and changed positions, and finally, before entering overtime, it reversed the score.
This game not only reflects the spirit of the Chinese women's football team that never gives up, but more importantly, in the difficult situation, the boldness and boldness of the head coach fully reflects the coach's mastery of the players and the rationality of the use of the players.
The South Korean team's five-back system has caused headaches for the Chinese women's football team
The Korean women's soccer team led by South Korea's head coach Klingber has a tough style and a concise style of play, and in the first two games of the group stage, they adopted a 4231 biased offensive formation.
Facing Japan, the last opponent in the group stage, and Australia in the next knockout round, they all abandoned the four-back formation that lacked defensive coverage on the flank and adopted the system of three centre-backs.
Because the three-centre-back system will fall back to form a 5-back formation when defending, and in the forward line, the South Korean team has as many as 4 players, which is a standard 541 formation when defending positions.
Facing the 541 formation, the Chinese women's football team did not quickly enter the state in the first half, and the team naturally rarely hit the ball into the opponent's defensive 3 zone, but instead made a major mistake in staring at the opponent's decision to attack from defense to attack, resulting in a 0:2 deficit in the first half.
Shui Qingxia's textbook substitution casts a classic
Entering the second half, the Chinese women's football team was still out of shape in the first 10 minutes of the opening.
But the turning point of the game came from Shui Qingxia's guidance to move Wang Shanshan, who played in the center-back position in this game, to the front line. Use Wang Shanshan's one-point ability and back protection to find a fulcrum for the team in the positional battle attack.
In addition, the substitution of the side road, Zhang Linyan appeared on the 19th, and also made a contribution to the Chinese women's football team.
No. 10 Zhang Rui's grooming of the team and the interception of defense are also very important, and no. 20 Xiao Yuyi scored a killer goal in the final moments of the game to help the Chinese women's football team solve the battle in 90 minutes.
These adjustments may seem trivial, but in fact every point reflects what the coach wants.
And Shui Qingxia guided the decisive replacement of Wang Shuang and replaced the commando on the flank to inject fresh blood to support the risk, which further demonstrated Shui Qingxia's guidance on the player's physical condition and tactical ability.
epilogue
The tenacious spirit of the Chinese women's football team has always been our example, and they have also inspired Chinese to be positive, work hard and live hard.
But football is never a simple geometry game, and not the best players in every position will be able to win the game.
It once again fully shows that football games rely on the mastery of the players and the response of the players on the spot.
Of course, fighting spirit is very important, but fighting spirit must have a good direction to guide, only under the guidance of the right direction, "fighting spirit" can play a virtuous circle.
