On February 10, Nandu reporters learned from the Chaonan District Committee of Shantou City, Guangdong Province, that the Chaonan District Party Committee and the District Government awarded a prize of 300,000 yuan to Xiao Yuyi, a female footballer from Chaonanxia Mountain. In the final of the Asian Cup on the evening of the 6th, Xiao Yuyi scored a unique blow at the last minute of the match, helping the Chinese women's football team reverse the situation and defeat the South Korean women's football team. The Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup for the first time in 16 years.
The relevant leaders of the Chaonan District Party Committee and the District Government went to Xiao Yuyi's home to send bonuses.
On February 10, the staff of the Chaonan District Party Committee told nandu reporters that the Chaonan District Party Committee and the District Government had awarded a bonus of 300,000 yuan to Xiao Yuyi, a female footballer, and at present, the bonus has been collected by her family.
Nandu previously reported that Chaoshan girl Xiao Yuyi is an excellent striker, she won the Championship of the Tianjin National Games with the Shanghai team in 2017; in the 2019 season, she was seconded to the Wuhan women's football team to help the Wuhan women's football team win the women's Super League championship; at the recent Shaanxi National Games, Xiao Yuyi won the women's football adult group championship with the team.
Her enlightenment coach, Zhang Guibao, a retired member of the Shanghai Women's Football Team and a special coach of the Hongkou District Sports Bureau, said in an interview with Nandu reporter: "There are very few young students who do not cry bitterly or tired, Xiao Yuyi is one, she never complains. In Zhang Guibao's view, Xiao Yuyi's outstanding achievements today are inseparable from the support of her parents for many years.
Zhang Guibao said that when he taught the teenager Xiao Yuyi, the parents were very cooperative with the team's training, taking turns to pick up their children to the weekend training class rain or shine, and the match day was rarely absent. "Some parents think that playing football delays learning, in fact, only smart children can play the ball well." Zhang Guibao believes that the academic performance of children who can play the ball well is generally not bad, and Xiao Yuyi is like this.
Xiao Yuyi's father once told nandu reporters that as long as they play, the players represent the country, and they must work tenaciously, otherwise they are sorry for the trust of the coach and the team. "With so many people all over the country watching, winning or not winning is one thing, and the hard work that a female footballer should have cannot disappoint."
