This Spring Festival, Chinese fans are like riding a roller coaster.
On the first day of the New Year, I looked at the men's football team and saw that I was powerless to complain.
Unexpectedly, on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, I was given a shot in the heart by the Chinese women's football team!
Time back two days ago.
At the final of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team played against the South Korean women's football team.
Probably because of the schedule, there was a day less rest than the Korean women's football team, and in the first half of the final, the Chinese women's football team was beaten to 0:2.
Many fans simply turn off the TV and no longer have expectations of the end result.
However, in the second half, the tough women's football girls achieved an earth-shattering counterattack, scoring two goals in four minutes and equalizing the score.
The first penalty was scored
The second header was scored
In the last minute before the end of the game, Wang Shanshan and Xiao Yuyi cooperated perfectly, and a kill completely cut off the South Korean team's hope of winning the championship, surpassed South Korea with a score of 3:2, and successfully won the Asian Cup!
The last kill of the women's soccer team
For a moment, the entire network boiled over.
After the Chinese women's football team won the championship, women's football coach Shui Qingxia was irrepressibly excited
In the live TV room, Huang Jianxiang directly wiped away tears.
What a moment!
Let the big man who has explained the game for half a lifetime can't help but burst into tears.
Huang Jianxiang said: "This is Chinese football, it should look like! ”
He added: "Equal pay for equal work, or even higher, is essential. ”
To this day, the popularity of Chinese women's football on the Internet is still high.
Why is the Chinese women's football team so good?
In fact, there was once a hot search that gave us the answer long ago.

How hard do the girls of the Chinese women's football team fight?
A picture of the women's football player Wang Xiaoxue blocking the ball with his chest, which has been brushing the screen in the circle of friends for two days.
Some netizens said that if this is a war, she will definitely block the gun hole.
Without the slightest hesitation, it was fully trained into a subconscious instinct!
The following scene is the scene where Lou Jiahui fiercely shovels and grabs, fighting until she is carried off the field on a stretcher.
After the game, she lay on the ground with tears in her eyes.
For her, football has long been more than just "like".
Football is life!
The women's soccer player who scored with a beautiful header was Zhang Linyan, who was only 1.54 meters tall.
It was her calm and fierce action that won back a precious point for the Chinese team!
After the game, Zhang Linyan made a video call with her family and said this sentence in a down-to-earth manner:
"The Chinese team is already 2-0 behind, and at that moment it was just thinking about scoring! goal! ”
Looking back at the women's football girl's trip to the Asian Cup, it is really spelled out with blood and sweat!
And this fighting spirit is in the same vein as the previous women's football players!
The current coach, Shui Qingxia, has broken her leg, broken her cruciate ligament and broken her nose bone twice while she was a player.
Veteran Wang Shuang, now 27 years old, has been injured many times, so he has fallen ill;
Xiao Yuyi, running to her legs with cramps, still insisted on fighting.
You remember that in April 2021, when the Chinese women's football team defeated the South Korean women's football team to win the ticket to the Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Shuang said this:
"From the 90-minute race to extra time, the 120 minutes to the game, we never wanted to give up. Even though we were 2-0 behind in the first half, we were convinced that we could pull back. Because we all believe that we have more than 130 days of training, running distance of more than 10,000 meters per day, we can even rush her, we can wash them down. ”
To translate this passage: our training intensity is very large, even if we do not add skills, only fight physical strength, we can fight the opponent down.
The most important thing is, under what premise are these girls desperate?
In 2015, women's football players received more than 3,000 yuan in wages.
Even if the situation has improved now, it is still in great contrast with the annual salary of men's football players who often have millions or even tens of millions.
In addition to the low salary, women's football girls once could not afford to buy better sneakers.
The canteen food is simple, the training ground facilities cannot keep up, and the dormitory environment is difficult to say.
It was under such a difficult premise that the Chinese women's football team became the hegemon of Asia, and even once dominated the world.
In 1986, the Chinese women's football team won the championship in the Asian Cup for the first time.
In 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1999, the Chinese women's football team achieved seven consecutive Asian Cup championships.
In 1990, 1994 and 1998, the Chinese women's football team won three consecutive championships.
At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, the Chinese women's football team defeated the United States 1:2 and won the runner-up.
The most brilliant record is that in the summer of 1999, in the final of the third World Cup women's football tournament held in Los Angeles, USA, the Chinese women's football team lost to the United States team 4:5, ranking second.

Even if you are not a fan, as long as you open the video of the women's football team, you will be deeply touched by their desperate efforts:
Even if you fall hard, you will immediately get up and continue to run;
Seeing that the other party has seized the opportunity, he also gritted his teeth and did not relax;
The ball had to slide into the goal and had to be saved again;
The body hit the goalpost and had to be thrown out.
In short, always, ever, never give up.
Such a Chinese women's football team, what reason do we have not to love?!

In fact, like this year's network boiling and praise, the Chinese women's football players have not experienced it for the first time.
They have been on the hot search countless times because of their wonderful performances.
It's just that often after a brief cheer, they are forgotten again.
The following interview, every time I see it, I will feel painful -
Wang Shuang: What is very cruel is that maybe only through the stage of the national team can people see you.
Host: Why?
Wang Shuang: Because usually in the club, including our women's football league, there is not so much broadcasting. There aren't that many people who can come to the scene to see you.
Host: Every athlete is eager to have cheers on the field. Has there ever been a time in your women's career when there were no fans on the pitch?
Wang Shuang: Yes. Can't say one doesn't have one. Maybe a dozen, maybe a dozen. It must have been all relatives and friends.
Wang Shuang: In recent years, it has been better. Relatively better. There will be a fan conference on the field. It may be organized to estimate a hundred or so individuals. So you feel like you're playing on the pitch, very empty. More on the pitch is the sound of the players being heard...

However, it is also these uncared women's football girls, after getting on the green field, they fight like they don't want to die.
Fall down and get up.

Grit your teeth and persevere to the end.

The outside world is noisy and famous, and they only care about how to work together and score one more goal.

As soon as the whistle sounds, it is necessary to be the team that runs the fastest and plays the best, only because of the love and sincerity in my heart.

What touched me the most was a sentence said by li Jiayue, a member of the women's football team.
Due to the recurrence of the old injury, she went to see the team doctor, and the team doctor asked her in the process of massage: "The injury is like this, are you still insisting?" ”
Li Jiayue gritted her teeth in pain, but still said: "What if you don't insist, the dream is not dead." ”

These girls with firm eyes and loud voices tell us with practical actions that sports are not divided into men and women, and dreams are also.
To borrow the words of Principal Zhang Guimei, it is no exaggeration to describe the girls of the Chinese women's football team:
"I was born a mountain, not a stream, and I want to look down on the mediocre ravines at the top of the peaks. I was born a man and not a weed, and I stand on the shoulders of great men and despise lowly cowards. ”
Chinese women's football, good looking!
If you have been impressed by these desperate Chinese women's football girls, and if you have also complained about the low treatment of women's football, then it is time to consider supporting Chinese women's football by example.
Don't think of women's football only when you satirize men's football.
If you have time, go and watch the women's football team's offline game.
The simplest and easiest thing to do is to pay direct attention to the personal accounts of Chinese women's football players and click on their accounts, because your attention will invisibly enhance their business value.
Or, just share and forward this article, don't let the heat of the Chinese women's football team go down so quickly.
Promise me, tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow, remember them, okay?
They definitely deserve more attention and support!
