Last night, the women's football team staged a headwind reversal in the final of the Asian Cup: in the desperate situation of 0-2 behind, it achieved a 3-2 comeback in the second half, and once again reached the top of Asia after 16 years.
After the social media carnival, our emotions began to "fall back", and then looking back and forth at the analysis, it may be easier to resonate. From the official announcement to the final cup, what did Shui Qingxia do right in these 80 days, so that Chinese football in chaos ushered in a dazzling beam.
Is it just willpower? Definitely not. Shui Qingxia, who took office "unexpectedly", not only built a better system for Chinese women's football, but also came up with more on-the-spot adjustments, but also showed a deep understanding of women's football, which is the most essential thing.
[Mental strength is only a bonus condition, modern football is a more brutal team sport]
After reaching the knockout rounds, the women's football team showed strong tenacity: reversing Thailand; twice falling behind Japan and winning the penalty shootout; and achieving a super turnaround in the final 0-2. Without the spirit of not giving up, it's all empty talk.
There is no problem in praising the sonorous rose spirit, but if the success of the women's football team in this Asian Cup is completely attributed to the spiritual bonus, it is a bit "unfair".
Modern football is a more brutal team sport, and the tactical links are enough to "peel off the cocoon" of your teeth in the empty stadium. At the World Cup in South Africa, the mysterious North Korean team created enough trouble for five-star Brazil in the first match of the group stage, which is the embodiment of their mental willpower bonus. However, it was then humiliated by Portugal with 7 goals. Willpower is not all about football, especially in the second decade of the 21st century, when all teams have become nearly transparent in the face of scouting systems and big data analytics software.
This is also why, in the five major leagues in Europe, and even in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First Division, the effective tactics of a certain team in the last game are suddenly "not working" directly.
Even in the face of a powerful Japan, the Chinese women's football team can still play an effective cooperation under absolute passivity. In the final analysis, through effective strategic deployment and targeted training methods, players can give full play to their characteristics on the pitch and finally play training things.

I believe that enough fans have such a feeling when watching the last 2 "battle of the gods" of women's football: women's football girls play so reasonably, it would be a pity if they did not win. And where is the root of all this?
[Shui Qingxia even offered a clever hand adjustment, all because she knows more about women's football]
Taking the women's football competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games as an example, although only 3 teams in the top 12 are women, most of their "helmsmen" have very deep experience in women's football coaching. Although the champion Australian coach Tony Gustavson has been the team manager for less than a year, he has twice become the assistant coach of the US women's football team in 12 years and has a very deep understanding of the development of women's football.
Canadian coach Beverley and Japanese coach Taishi Ikeda are all experts in the field of women's football for many years. Even with the weak Chilean team folding the group stage, their manager Jose Lightlier has been coaching the women's football club team as early as 2010.
Only by forming an effective understanding of the development rules of women's football and the physiology of players can we lay a solid foundation for leading the team.
After Shui Qingxia retired in 2001, she began to serve in the Shanghai Women's Football Team, China Women's Youth League, Shanghai Municipal Sports School and other teams. The strong understanding of women's football in the player era has gradually formed a more effective system with the enrichment of her coaching experience.
Therefore, in view of the fact that Japan and South Korea are more good at grasping the characteristics of offensive and defensive conversion, she withdrew Wang Shanshan, adding a strong point of confrontation in the defensive line. When the team needed to fight back, while wang shanshan was premised, wang shuang, who was injured, was replaced. But women's football did not cause a decline in combat power, because we maximized the confrontation in midfield, organization and flank assault. The rest we saw, Wang Shanshan played two key battles, sending a perfect goal and a killer assist. The performance of substitute players such as Wu Orange Shu, Xiao Yuyi, and Zhang Linyan is also very good.
If you can't have a deep understanding of women's physiology, physical fitness, and the way they play, can all this happen?
["Unexpected" in office but into a champion, we should reflect on what]
Who will succeed Jia Xiuquan was once a huge topic of debate, and there were many goals in the FA' coaching. However, the conditions we see are somewhat "harsh", and many people are saying: directly read the ID number of a Chinese football celebrity.
The celebrity, after retiring, is more engaged in the management of professional teams, and the experience of women's football is almost zero.
It is not that the famous host will not necessarily succeed after taking over the women's football team, but in retrospect, the "airborne" Shui Qingxia is indeed more reasonable.
We have been shouting "professionals do professional things" for many years, but this profession is not something you can do in football. Competitive football is a huge "subdivision project" today, and the things involved are all-round, and if there is a slight deviation in the direction, it may be a fallacy.
After 80 days in office, Shui Qingxia's guidance was successful and the Chinese women's football team succeeded. Chinese football in chaos has ushered in a strong light, and I hope that this strong light can shine down, not only engraved in the history of the development of Chinese football, but also to provide a feasible reference model for the future.
The success of women's football in these 80 days can actually be used as a perfect positive teaching material for in-depth research and learning. Hope we see...
