For the history of the winless win, Bale also stressed that it is necessary to work hard to end such embarrassment, because the Korean women's football team is a better team.

With a 2-0 lead, the South Korean women's football team did not hold the victory, and was chased by the Chinese women's football team for three goals in a row in the second half, especially in the stoppage time stage by Xiao Yuyi. The South Korean women's football team missed the opportunity to lift the Asian Cup championship for the first time, and extended the chinese women's football team's winless record to 8 games. In less than a year, in the Olympic Preliminary Round and the Asian Cup final, they did not beat the Chinese women's football team, and the disappointment of the Korean women's football team was written on their faces after the game.
South Korea women's football coach Bale said: "I am proud of my players, and I told them directly after the game that we need to keep improving and not let this defeat crush our spirits. But we were really disappointed and I'm sure every player and staff member will keep playing this game back in their heads. ”
"We had a couple of chances in the final moments of this game, especially in stoppage time, and we should have scored. Quite simply, you just need to know where the goalkeeper is and then aim at the other corners of the goal. However, the Chinese goalkeeper stood still and did not move, and our shot was directly aimed at her to kick. We didn't win in the end, so we need the players to keep working hard. For the Chinese women's football team to win the record needs to end, the Korean women's football team is the better team. ”
Bell also hopes in the end that the South Korean women's football team will unload its baggage and concentrate on preparing for the upcoming competition: the Asian Games. "Let's not think about the World Cup, because the disappointment of not winning the Asian Cup will last for days."
