After 16 years, the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup again. This reverse victory of pulling three goals in a row under the disadvantage of falling behind two goals not only ignited the hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese fans, but also made Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia come to the spotlight.

From champion player to champion coach, Shui Qingxia and Luyinchang have been linked for 39 years. In the history of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team won the championship for the first time, and Shui Qingxia was one of them, and in the next 11 years, she won the championship with the team four times.

"The biggest feeling I got from this water guide is that after she arrived at the national team, her psychology became more and more calm, and her self-confidence became stronger and stronger." At Shui Qingxia's home in Shanghai's Putuo District, her husband, Wang Jiaming, commented with a smile.

When it comes to his wife Shui Qingxia, Wang Jiaming always calls her "water guide". Wang Jiaming, who is currently the leader of the Shanghai women's football team, is also a women's footballer himself.

Looking back at the Asian Cup finals against the South Korean team, the Chinese women's football team fell behind by two goals in the first half, Wang Jiaming admitted that he was very anxious at that time, but he knew that the water guide would definitely make adjustments immediately, "Before the game, I gave the water guide advice, you must be prepared for various difficulties, how to play behind, how to play when you are ahead, what to do if you are a draw, you must think well. She said she had made adequate plans before the game. ”

On the evening of February 6, the Chinese women's football team defeated the Korean women's football team 3:2 to win the Asian Cup. In the game, the South Korean team scored two goals first, and in the second half, Tang Jiali and Zhang Linyan scored two goals in four minutes to equalize. In the 93rd minute, Xiao Yuyi scored a killer goal. This is the ninth time that the Chinese women's football team has won the Asian Cup. The picture shows the Chinese women's football team members holding the cup.

Half a year ago, at the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's football team fell into the abyss - 1 win and 2 losses at the bottom of the game, scored 6 goals and conceded 17 goals, lost 2:8 to the Netherlands, lost 0:5 to Brazil... The "sonorous rose" that once made the Chinese people proud was eclipsed. After tokyo's feathers, the Chinese women's football team began to change the coach, Shui Qingxia took office, and the return of the former Chinese women's football captain let everyone see the dawn of revival.

According to Wang Jiaming, the water guide took over this team during the National Games, when her guiding ideology was also very clear, it is difficult to change from technology and tactics, more is to work hard from the establishment of basic self-confidence and the cultivation of will quality, which is the guarantee of technical tactics on the field. "Playing a game against a strong team is not to give up easily until the last minute, anything will happen, and her belief is very strong."

From the defeat of the Tokyo Olympics to the summit of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team took only about half a year. At present, this Chinese women's football team, Wang Jiaming believes, "the biggest change is in the spirit of the spirit." Why should we win this time? It is by will, by tenacity. ”

Before the start of the Asian Cup final, Shui Qingxia said at the press conference, even if we win the championship, I don't think it is a great record, we are still preparing as always.

In Wang Jiaming's eyes, Shui Qingxia is a strict person. "She's a very demanding person, very demanding of the players on the training ground, very serious, but off the field they are like sisters, the players encounter difficulties, she uses her best efforts to help them."

Shui Qingxia's spirit of refusing to accept defeat is also vividly reflected in her daily life. When she was on vacation at home, in order to let Shui Qingxia relax and adjust her mentality, Wang Jiaming would often take her to the middle-aged and elderly football team in the community to play, but as soon as she stepped on the green field, Shui Qingxia was immediately very devoted, "She is playing football at this age, she refuses to lose, go up and fight, I am worried, she has suffered a lot of injuries, and her feet are all steel nails." But she is very strong, her goal is to win, and she can't play second. ”

The Chinese women's football team, which has already obtained the World Cup ticket, will continue to move forward towards the global arena under the leadership of Shui Qingxia. The AFC official website commented after the game: At this Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia's influence on the Chinese women's football team has been obvious to all, and she has brought immediate results to the team. Wang Jiaming revealed, "Letting the Chinese women's football team show itself on the world stage is a new goal pursued by water guidance. (End)
