In FIFA's updated world rankings, the Chinese women's volleyball team rose 3 places, from 19th in December 2021 to 16th, ranking 4th in the Asian region, behind North Korea, Australia and Japan, slightly ahead of the 17th Ranked South Korean team. The North Korean women's football team, which has not appeared on the international stage since 2018, still ranks 10th in the world, is the highest ranking of Asian women's football, and can beat the two top two rankings of Australia and Japan to rank the Asian boss, which is enough to prove the strength of the Korean women's football team and is still one of the top 5 in Asia.
The top 20 in the world are: 1. The United States 2. Sweden 3. France 4. Germany 5. Netherlands 6. Canada 7. Spain 8.England 9. Brazil 10. North Korea 11.Norway 12.Australia 13.Japan 14.Italy 15.Denmark 16.China 17.South Korea 18.Iceland 19.Switzerland 20.Belgium
The reason why the Chinese women's football team can improve 3 places, it must be that the asian cup won by virtue of excellent performance not long ago, from the 1/4 final, the Chinese women's volleyball team really encountered the test, facing the Vietnamese women's football team, ranked 32nd in the world, the first to lose a goal in the case of 3-1 elimination of the opponent, the semi-final met the Japanese women's football team that won the World Cup championship, twice fell behind twice to equalize, the penalty shootout eliminated the number one favorite of the Asian Cup, and the final faced the South Korean women's volleyball team in the case of 0-2 behind, It's been 16 years since the last victory. Chinese women's football team in this expedition before the experience of the change of coach and the new Olympic cycle of the lineup change, can win the championship, the key link lies in the ability to play and self-adjustment, the spirit of not giving up behind is back, in fact, the semi-final four China, Japan and South Korea and the 5th place Australia are the level between Bo Zhong, just look at the opportunity to grasp the door, who wins and who loses is normal.
In the traditional strong team north Korean women's football team that has missed 2 consecutive Asian Cups ranked 10th, which is somewhat unexpected, after all, the mysterious division has been absent for two consecutive Asian Cups, and the Olympic Games, World Cup and other competitions have been banned because players take banned drugs, and can always remain in the top 10. Chinese women's football team in the past 15 years and the North Korean women's football team in the fight less than the loss, the Asian Cup, the East Asian Cup and other competitions many times the semi-finals and finals are always stubbornly suppressed by the Korean women's football team, although the Asian Cup championship, but does not mean that the Chinese women's volleyball team is much stronger than North Korea, Japan and Australia, especially with the Japanese team a battle, the scene is very passive, the future with the rise of South Korean women's football, the competition of the top 5 in Asia will become more and more intense.
Looking at the rapid development of women's football in the world, Spain and England, which can be easily defeated in the past, have surpassed the Chinese women's football team to the top 10 in the world, and iceland, Switzerland and Belgium, which were previously unknown, are also among the top 20, and the Chinese women's volleyball team is almost on a horizontal line. From the performance of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team has a huge gap with the world's top 10, and in the face of the thick physical confrontation of European and American players, it is almost impossible to hold the ball, and the ball control rate is reduced naturally. An Asian Cup to win the victory is not happy, the Chinese women's volleyball team wants to return to the ranks of the world's top 10 strong teams have a long way to go, strengthen the foot technology at the same time, but also to increase the confrontation of the body.
