The 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup came to an end, and the Chinese women's football team returned to the top of Asia after 16 years from a narrow victory over the defending champion Japan women's football team in the semi-finals to a 3-2 reversal in the final. Chinese women's football goalkeeper Zhu Yu 2 battle gods, staged a variety of god pounces, including 5 thrilling saviors = Japan women's football + South Korean women's football team to fight out.
From the Women's World Cup in France to the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's football team has performed poorly twice, especially in last year's Tokyo Olympic Games, where the group ranking of 17 goals conceded in three games was humiliated.
It was not until the new coach Shui Qingxia took office that the Chinese women's football team finally raised its eyebrows and breathed out in the 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup! In the first two group matches, the Chinese women's football team swept the Chinese Taipei women's football team and the Iranian women's football team 4-0, 7-0 respectively. In the quarterfinals, the Chinese women's football team reversed the Vietnamese women's football team 3-1 to advance to the semifinals. The head star Wang Shuang performed stunningly, scoring a considerable number of goals in three games.
In the semi-finals, facing the defending champion Japan women's football team, the Chinese women's football team ushered in a huge challenge, and in the 120 minutes of the game, the Chinese women's football team twice fell behind twice to equalize the score to 2-2. In the penalty shootout, goalkeeper Zhu Yu played a god, taking the lead in saving the first penalty taken by Japanese women's football captain Sashi Kumagaya, and again saving the penalty of the Japanese team in the crucial fifth round of penalties.
With Zhu Yu's divine performance, the Chinese women's football team finally defeated the defending champion Japan women's football team to return to the final of the Asian Cup after 14 years with an aggregate score of 6-5 (penalty shootout 4-3). In addition to Wu Chengshu and captain Wang Shanshan scoring goals to help the team equalize, I think the key person who finally helped the Chinese women's football team advance to the final is goalkeeper Zhu Yu. In addition, in the 105th minute of overtime against the Japanese women's football team (when the Chinese women's football team was 1-2 behind), the Chinese team almost let the Japanese player's shot kill the game due to a mistake in the back line pass, but thanks to Zhu Yu's divine save, this tragedy was prevented.
Later, in the final, Zhu Yu staged a miracle again! In the 30th minute of the first half, the South Korean team took a free kick on the right side of the front, Chi Xiaoran took the penalty to hang the ball into the penalty area, and another South Korean player completed a high-quality head-shaking attack, and the Chinese women's football goalkeeper Zhu Yushen reacted quickly and jumped to play the ball, too dangerous!
There is also in the 91st minute of the stoppage time, when the Chinese women's football team and the South Korean women's football team fought a 2-2 draw, the Right Side of the Chinese team's backfield, the South Korean player Chi Xiaoran got up and hoisted the ball into the penalty area again, the ball bottomed out, Yao Wei lifted his foot and failed to release the ball far away, the ball fell instantly, the South Korean player Sun Huayan completed a violent sweep at the goal, goalkeeper Zhu Yu performed the miracle again, only to see her full attention to risk injury without fear and try her best to block the ball, followed by another South Korean player to complete the make-up shot, It was successfully blocked by Wang Xiaoxue with his body.
Later, according to Zhu Yu himself, "Now that I think about it, I just stood there when she (the Korean player) shot, and then she had a lot of strength, and I blocked the ball, but the feeling at that time was that I was out of my mind, and I wanted to pounce on it." ”
After Zhu Yu saved the South Korean team's killer goal, in the 93rd minute, Wang Shanshan directly assisted Xiao Yuyi to complete the sweeping kill, and the Chinese women's football team chased 3 goals in a row to reverse the championship.
Without goalkeeper Zhu Yu's three pokes against the defending champions in the semifinals, the Chinese women's football team would not have been able to successfully advance to the final; without the two divine pokes played by goalkeeper Zhu Yu against the South Korean women's football team in the final, the Chinese women's football team would not have been able to achieve the miracle of returning to the top of Asia after 16 years!
To sum up, after the two peak matches of the semi-finals and the final, Chinese women's football goalkeeper Zhu Yu directly sealed the god in 2 battles, and her 5 gods played savior = defending champion Japan women's football + South Korean women's football team hand in hand! It can be said that in this women's Asian Cup goalkeeper, Zhu Yu's performance is unmatched! Even to a large extent, at the current level of the world's women's football goalkeeper, Zhu Yu can also be regarded as the number one person!
Of course, the final victory of the Chinese women's football team is also due to the tenacious struggle of the entire team and the adjustment of head coach Shui Qingxia's divine employment! At key moments, in addition to the need to have the strength of the players who carry the beams at both ends of the attack and defense to stand up, I think that often the reasonable use of people in the goalkeeper position can accelerate the situation of the game. In this regard, how do you think the performance of Chinese women's football goalkeeper Zhu Yu?
