On February 6, the Chinese women's football team defeated South Korea 3:2 in the final of the Asian Cup, winning the Asian Cup for the ninth time, and once again standing on the top of Asia after 16 years.
Shui Qingxia revealed that the women's football team members have been actively reviewing the experience of winning the championship in the past few days and summarizing the advantages and disadvantages. "Compared with Japan, South Korea and other strong teams, we still have a big gap, we win in the fighting spirit of not giving up, but not only the spirit, the improvement of technology and tactics is also an important task." Shui Qingxia said.
At the same time, Shui Qingxia also seized this relatively leisure time to talk with the team members one by one to understand their latest situation, "and Lou Jiahui talked the most." At this Asian Cup, the 30-year-old Lou Jiahui flew to save the ball many times in the match against Japan, fighting until he was injured and left the field. "She has always blamed herself, and I advise her to put herself in a better position and actively recover her body and resume training." Shui Qingxia said.

After the end of the quarantine, the women's football team will be temporarily disbanded, and the players will return to their local teams to prepare for events such as the Women's Super League. During this time, Shui Qingxia will go to various divisions to pay attention to the competition of the team members, and look for young players to make reserves for the future of women's football.
Shui Qingxia also pays great attention to the women's football youth training, she said: "I very much hope that the little girl who is still playing football can stick to it and steadily improve, so that the women's football team will have a better development." ”
After winning the championship, in the face of high attention from the outside world, Shui Qingxia said that she would turn this attention into a spur to herself. She clarified what she said in a recent interview with relevant media that "now because of moving, I have not found a place to live for the time being", saying that there is a misreading, and her current housing in Shanghai is a demolition transition, temporary residence, not no house to live in.
For the Asian Games, which begins in September this year, Shui Qingxia said that she will prepare for the race with a normal heart. "I hope that the Asian Games can play better, so that the players can really read the game and improve the level of competition." She said.
