Wang Shanshan, the captain of the Chinese team, won the title of best player in this Asian Cup.
Ms. Wong excelled in the semi-final against Japan, scoring the equaliser in extra time and the winning goal in the penalty shootout.
When talking about the significance of winning the best player, Wang Shanshan, the captain of the Chinese team, said: "Getting the MVP is very meaningful to me, which is an affirmation of my efforts and efforts, and I also want to thank the whole team for their help and support to me. ”
When reversing the game, Wang Shanshan said: "In the midfield, we encouraged each other, did not give up at all, and finally tried our best in the second half to achieve a reversal, and I am very proud to win, which is also my first Asian Cup title, thanks to all the players and the coaching staff." The championship is a new beginning for The Chinese women's football team, and through the Women's Asian Cup, we have shown our strength to the world. ”
Chinese goalkeeper Zhu Yu won the title of the best goalkeeper in this Asian Cup. In this Asian Cup, Zhu Yu made 4 appearances and 2 clean sheets. Especially in the penalty shootout in the semi-finals, Zhu Yu saved the shots of Japan's Kumagaya Saki and Nan Menghua to help the Chinese team qualify.
In the final, Zhu Yu repeatedly contributed to the divine poker. Before the final game, she blocked the South Korean team's shot at close range to ensure that the goal was not lost, which led to Xiao Yuyi's subsequent kill.
At the same time as receiving honors, women's football girls also received material rewards for their wonderful performances.
Alipay officially announced that in order to reward the Chinese women's football team for its excellent performance in the Asian Cup, it will provide a huge prize of 13 million yuan. Among them, 10 million yuan is rewarded for women's football players and 3 million yuan is rewarded for coaching teams.
It is reported that the 13 million yuan is also the event prize money awarded by the Football Association to the women's football team, all from Alipay's "ten years and one billion" support for the development plan of Chinese women's football. In addition, Mengniu Dairy, the official partner of the Chinese Football Association China Team, also announced that it will give the Chinese women's football team a cash reward of 10 million yuan.
Women's football is not a backdrop for men's football
The final of the Asian Cup of women's football, let us see that the Chinese women's football team showed a golden spirit. Man does not succumb to his fate and has the extraordinary courage to fight it to the last moment!
Since last year's Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team has lost to Brazil and the Netherlands, and the group stage has been eliminated. In this Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team stopped falling and rebounded. This is of course inseparable from the work of head coach Shui Qingxia. Shui Qingxia officially took office in November last year, although the time was not long, but the Chinese women's football team returned to the route of emphasizing technology and cooperation, and the cohesion of the team was greatly strengthened. The Chinese team beat Vietnam, Japan and South Korea in the asian cup knockout match, and all played against the wind. But the women's soccer players have proved their ability to fight and win with more resilience! It's a sign of excellent team building.
But on the other hand, calm down, we must also see that the current Chinese women's football team is no longer world-class. Especially in the semi-final with Japan, the Chinese team is basically at a disadvantage. Both the individual skills of the players and the overall convergence of advancement are lagging behind the opponents. Looking at Tang Jiali's performance in the final, it is not difficult to conclude that the Chinese women's football team needs more players to stay in high-level teams in Europe to improve their ability.
Third, this time the Chinese women's football team has received unprecedented attention, and it cannot be denied that there is also the background of the Chinese men's football team losing 1-3 to Vietnam and being eliminated in the World Cup qualifiers. The hearts of the fans who are stinged by the men's football team have been soothed and encouraged by the women's football team. This is the other side of the development status of Chinese women's football, which is used to reflect the weakness of Chinese men's football. Only when the big game is the time, the women's football team will get the attention of the fans. However, such a positioning and social atmosphere are not conducive to the development of women's football.
Finally, I personally agree with Shui Qingxia's statement before the final, this competition is only a stage in the development of this Chinese women's football team. The goal of the Chinese team is to return to the world-class, and to achieve this goal, the Chinese women's football team, Shui Qingxia still have a lot of work to do, I hope that the Football Association, the General Administration of Sports, the relevant departments can further implement the development plan of women's football, so that the Chinese women's football team can make greater progress.
