The Chinese women's football team let the two chase the three, and reversed South Korea in the final of the Women's Asian Cup to win the championship. Regardless of whether there is a men's football background on the first day of the Chinese New Year, the script obtained by the women's football team on the sixth day of the New Year, with the plot of the previous victory over Japan in the semi-finals, is also enough to write a Hollywood blockbuster.
Against Japan, the number one star Wang Shuang could not play, twice behind twice to equalize, the captain wang Shanshan, who was a striker but made up for the team's back line, scored a perfect goal, and then made up a final decision in the penalty shootout.
In the final against South Korea, two goals behind in the first half, strong willpower and the manager's magical adjustment, so that the Chinese women's football team once again lost to win, the winning goal or in the whistle stage to score.
Such a magical plot, how not to make the world rejoice, the process and ending of the women's football team to win the championship, are worthy of this time of universal celebration.
We cheered, not only for the championship, but also for the tenacious fighting spirit and will quality of the Chinese women's football team, and we celebrated, not only for victory, but also for the spirit of the sonorous rose to bloom again.
It's just that we don't want such a wonderful atmosphere to last forever, not just on the evening of the sixth day of the Chinese New Year.
We always mention the memories of the old women's football team, in addition to a trace of regret that we did not reach the top, but more of a crazy moment that we can't go back to, that Chinese women's football team is almost unstoppable at the world level, and it is only one step away from the top of the world.
Many years later, when we talk about the evening of the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, when we talk about Wang Shuang, Wang Shanshan, Tang Jiali, and Xiao Yuyi, I hope that it will be a brilliant light under the blossoming of a hundred flowers.
In Paris in 2019, I interviewed Morgan, the leader of the U.S. women's soccer team. At that time, she talked about the decisive battle that filled us with regret, that is, the 1999 Women's World Cup final held in the United States, the strongest Chinese women's football team regrettably lost to the United States in a penalty shootout.
Morgan said of the game: She was only 10 years old that year, and she was extremely impressed by that Women's World Cup, the Chinese team showed a very high standard, the United States team looked unstoppable, but in the end it was only through penalties to beat the Chinese women's football team to win the championship.
Morgan also said: That local women's World Cup to some extent, is to change the fate of women's football in the United States, after the final of the United States women's football team to defeat the Chinese women's football team, many American girls fell in love with the sport of football, at the same time, in the United States many girls have more opportunities to play football, which has the dominance of the United States women's football team in the world.
When the Chinese women's football team competed with the United States for the World Cup championship that year, Spain's women's football was still a wasteland, the league had less than 10 teams, and the format was also no home and away competition system, and many girls could only play with boys. Until the new century, Spain had a relatively complete women's football league, but in recent years, with the increasing attention of various clubs, Spanish women's football has flourished.
In 2019, the number of women's football players registered in Spain reached more than 40,000, and the number of women who regularly play in this country is about 3 to 4 times this number, and the number of 24 national teams participating in the 2019 Women's World Cup reached 52 players from La Liga.
When the epidemic has not yet arrived, at the level of live audiences, the Spanish Women's Football League has been a benchmark in the world, that is, the 2018-19 season of the Spanish women's football "National Derby", here is to mention, the Real Madrid women's football team at that time has not yet been officially established, the derby is the Atletico women's football team against the Barca women's football team, and that game was held at the Atletico Stadium of Atletico Wanda, the home of Atletico, attracting 60,739 people to the scene to watch, this number is the highest record for the audience at the level of women's football clubs in the world.
The Real Madrid women's football team was officially established in 2020, the predecessor of this team is a Madrid-based women's football club called Tacon, which was acquired by Real Madrid in 2019 and officially became real Madrid women's football team in 2020.
At that time, I also had an exchange with the former Spanish international Anna, who is also the founder of this Tacon club, she said: "With the rapid development of Spain women's football television broadcasting and infrastructure in recent years, people are more willing to go to the scene to support, and there are more girls willing to embark on the road of professional football. "Each La Liga club has the same size of echelon youth training as the men's football team at the women's football level, which has also significantly improved the performance of the Spanish women's national team, and the U17 and U19 youth teams of the Spanish women's football team have won the women's European Youth Championship.
At the level of the adult national team, 2015 was the first time that the Spanish women's football team participated in the Women's World Cup, and 4 years later they played against the Chinese women's football team in the group stage of the Women's World Cup in France, the score was 0-0, but on the scene, the Spanish women's football team suppressed our Chinese women's football team.
"Because Spanish clubs pay more attention to the development of women's football, and the West Football Association is also vigorously developing women's football sports, they have given women's football sports enough resources and training facilities, in addition to the exposure is temporarily not comparable, the others have been very close to the men's football level, from nutritional allocation, to resource tilt." Women's football can be carried forward here, and sufficient attention is the most critical. ”
At an event not long ago, I had an exchange with another former Spanish women's international, and when she talked about the development of women's football in Spain, she gave the above answer.
But in the end, it is the football atmosphere in Spain, the love of football and the gradual improvement of the league level that make more girls willing to embark on the road of professional football.
Unlike our Chinese women's football team, the Spanish women's national football team has not yet passed the "experience card" of the World Cup final, but maybe that moment is not far away.
Our Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup in an almost Hollywood blockbuster way on the evening of the sixth day of the New Year, which made us carnival and noisy, but the spirit of women's football was not just a temporary existence that moved us. May this wonderful atmosphere not only be on the evening of the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and may this not be the peak, but the starting point for reshaping the spirit of women's football.
They deserve everyone's applause and praise.
They deserve more attention, care and love.
