According to the schedule, at 7 p.m. on February 6, the final of the Women's Asian Cup will officially start, CCTV5 will finally be broadcast live, and the Chinese women's football team is expected to return home! Details are as follows:
What is the final of the Women's Asian Cup?
According to the official website of the AFC, at 7:00 p.m. on February 6, the final of the 2022 Women's Asian Cup will be played against the Chinese women's football team, which is currently ranked 19th in the world, vs. the Korean women's football team, which is currently ranked 18th in the world.
It is worth mentioning that since the start of this women's asian cup, a number of CCTV sports channels, including CCTV5, CCTV5+, etc., have not broadcast live video of the relevant matches of Chinese women's football, which has also caused a lot of controversy, and the outside world generally believes that CCTV sports channels "emphasize male football and light women's football" and only care about immediate commercial interests, not women's football glory.
Why did CCTV5 finally decide to broadcast the chinese women's football match?
The reason why CCTV5 decided to broadcast the chinese women's football match live has two main reasons: First, when the Chinese women's football team reached the final of the Asian Cup, its own influence and popularity have been greatly improved, in this case, any media hopes to "rub the heat" on the Chinese women's football team, CCTV5 is no exception.
Second, compared with the national football team, which has repeatedly lost battles, missed the World Cup, and added to the blockage for fans, the Chinese women's football team has successively qualified for the World Cup and advanced to the final of the Women's Asian Cup. Therefore, CCTV5 broadcasts the matches of the Chinese women's football team, which can not only meet the fans' willingness to watch the game, but also allow the fans to regain their confidence in Chinese football.
Why is it said that the Chinese women's football team is expected to return to the glory?
The reason why the Chinese women's football team is expected to return home with a reputation is mainly for three reasons: First, the Chinese women's football team is expected to defeat the South Korean women's football team to win the championship. Although the world ranking of The Korean women's football team is slightly higher than that of the Chinese women's football team, from the perspective of previous records, the Chinese women's football team is obviously dominant, in the history of the Women's Football Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has played with the Korean women's football team 3 times, and achieved an undefeated record of 1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses.
Among them, in the 2014 Asian Cup third and fourth place finals, the Chinese women's football team defeated the opponent 2-1. In the latest confrontation, the Chinese women's football team won the ticket to the Olympic Games by eliminating the Korean women's football team. Based on this, when the two sides meet again, the Chinese women's football team will inevitably occupy a certain advantage in the psychological level.
Second, whether or not the Chinese women's football team wins the championship, it will become a "sonorous rose" in the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans, as the People's Daily said: the indomitable women's football team is an example. The spirit of not abandoning and not giving up on the field shown by the Chinese women's football team is the most valuable wealth.
The third is the most important point, to borrow the words of women's football coach Mizu Keika, to recognize the gap with the Japanese team. In other words, the Chinese women's football team's trip to the Asian Cup has not only gained material and reputation, but also seen the gap with the top teams in Asia, which is the aspect that the future development of Chinese women's football team needs to focus on making up.
Finally, I would like to ask, do you think the Chinese women's football team can beat the Korean women's football team? Welcome to the interactive communication below!
