In 1984, the Chinese women's national football team was formally established, the first coach was born in the football city of Dalian, the national football star Cong Eryu, two years after the formation of the team, the famous host, known as the father of The Chinese women's football team, led the Chinese women's football team to win the Asian championship, after which the Chinese women's football team made rapid progress and soon became one of the world's strongest teams. At the first Women's World Cup held in China in 1991, the Chinese women's football team ranked fifth, but it has been recognized as the world's top women's football team. In the 1996 Olympic Games, the goal of the Chinese women's football team is to challenge the world women's football hegemon, the United States team, and strive for the championship!
In the group stage, the Chinese women's football team was divided into group A with the United States women's football team, the Swedish women's football team and the Danish women's football team, which is known as the death group. In the first game of the group, the Chinese women's football team won 2-0 against the old rival European powerhouse Sweden women's football team, in the 29th minute, after the dazzling cooperation of the midfield, Shi Guihong scored the ball in the penalty area easily and scored the first goal of the Chinese women's football team in the Olympic Games, in the 31st minute, Zhao Lihong broke the ball in front of the field and burst into the familiar left side, and the left foot hanging goal in front of the penalty area played a world wave, locking the score to 2-0. In the second game of the group, the Chinese women's football team was full of firepower, beating Denmark 5-1, Shi Guihong opened the record for the first time, Sun Qingmei scored twice, and Liu Ailing and Fan Yunjie scored one goal each.
In the final battle of the group, the Chinese women's football team, which had already qualified early, drew 0-0 with the American women's football team and joined hands to qualify. The semi-final thrilling, Sun Qingmei scored into the world wave in the 5th minute, helping the Chinese women's football team to lead the first half 1-0, the second half of the storm suddenly changed, the Brazilian women's football team of the Samba Army pulled two goals in a row, 2-1 reversed the score, at the critical moment, Wei Haiying, who came off the bench, stepped forward, pulled the score to 2-2 in the 82nd minute, scored the deadly ball in the 89th minute, and the Chinese women's football team crossed the danger 3-2. In the final, the U.S. women's soccer team opened the record, Sun Wen equalized, but the host then scored an offside goal, and finally the Chinese women's soccer team lost 1-2 and missed the gold medal.
Most of the 18 players who represented The Chinese women's soccer team for the Olympic Games for the first time have disappeared from public view. Because some so-called fans just look at the women's football team during the big game, win the praise, lose the scolding, and usually don't pay attention to it at all. The living conditions of The Chinese women's football team are worrying, the level is also declining, after the European and American emphasis on women's football, the Chinese women's football team has withdrawn from the ranks of strong teams. Among the first 11 people, only two can be seen in the media, one is Sun Wen, vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and the other is Shui Qingxia, who is the manager of the Shanghai women's football team of the Women's Super League, and the latest rumors are that Shui Qingxia will replace Jia Xiuquan, who is on the cusp of the storm, and become the new manager of the Chinese women's football team.
