After the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup in India's 3-2 reverse south Korean women's football team, they did not stay in the local area for a short rest, but directly chose to take a charter flight back to China. On February 7, Beijing time, the Chinese women's football team finally arrived in Shanghai, they were welcomed by the highest standards of Chinese customs and other units, and even the Shanghai Bund lit up to welcome them home. After returning to China, the Chinese women's football team needs to go to Suzhou for 14+7 days of quarantine and then disband on the spot.
On the morning of February 8, Chinese women's football goalkeeper Zhu Yu updated her Weibo, she wrote: "Thank you, thank you for trust, believe in the team, believe in the spirit of women's football, we are the best." Zhu Yu's simple few words revealed the secret of the Chinese women's football team being able to continuously reverse the Japanese and Korean women's football teams to win the championship. The reason why the Chinese women's football team can win the championship in this Asian Cup, the cooperation of the team is of course very important, but the play of some players cannot be ignored. Tang Jiali, Wang Shanshan, Zhang Linyan, Xiao Yuyi and others broke the goal at a critical moment to bring the Chinese women's football team back to life, and goalkeeper Zhu Yu's several saves were also impressive.
In the penalty shootout with the Japanese women's football team, Zhu Yu twice saved the opponent's shot, and finally the Chinese women's football penalty shootout was 4-3 thrilling, if it were not for Zhu Yu's two successful saves, the result would be different. In the match with the South Korean women's football team, the injury time stage began shortly after the Start, the South Korean women's football team in the penalty area a kick was quick to see Zhu Yu to save out, if it is not Zhu Yu's timely save, the South Korean women's football team will once again take a 3-2 lead, even if Xiao Yuyi scored is also a 3-3 draw, the two sides into overtime, for the Chinese women's football team is very dangerous. When the reporter interviewed her about the save in that overtime stage, Zhu Yu said: "Now I feel like I am just standing there, her shot is very powerful, I blocked it, but at that time I felt that I was out of my mind, I wanted to pounce, there was no time to think, the ball was very close, the strength was also large." When I got up, I saw Xiaoxue blocking the ball, and Xiaoxue told me when he gave the award: You pounced the first time, and I had a chance to block it. Zhu Yu's words really touched the fans.
Zhu Yu, born in 1997, is only 25 years old, and in this Asian Cup trip, she has gained the full trust of Shui Qingxia's guidance as the starting goalkeeper of the Chinese women's football team. It turns out that Zhu Yu did not live up to Shui Qingxia's trust, she used saves to help the Chinese women's football team win the game, and she also became the best goalkeeper of this Asian Cup, winning the Golden Glove Award. Many fans are even more blunt, she is more reliable than Yan Junling, the starting goalkeeper of the Chinese men's football team.
