On May 12, Beijing time, Bayern officially announced that Japan international Sashi Kumagaya joined Bayern. Sashi Kumagaya is the captain of the Japanese women's soccer team, having won the World Cup and the Champions League for the fifth consecutive time.
Bayern officials wrote, "We are pleased to announce that Sashi Kumagai, who currently plays for Lyon women, will move to Bayern Munich next season on a two-year contract. The 30-year-old midfielder is the captain of the Japan women's national football team, with whom he won the 2011 Women's World Cup, the 2015 World Cup runner-up and the 2018 Asian Cup. Last season, Sasaki Kumagaya won the women's Champions League for the fifth consecutive time with Lyon! ”
Sashi Kumagai plays as a defender and in 2019 she was awarded miss Asian football. That year, she helped Lyon women's football team achieve the Champions League, Ligue 1 and French Cup triple crowns.
It is worth mentioning that Bayern women's football team is also a strong team in Europe, this season, they reached the top 4, but lost to Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Now, Sashi Kumagaya has said, "When we faced Bayern in the Champions League last year, I noticed that Bayern is a united team, they are so good. I want to win the Champions League with Bayern! ”
The Japanese women's football team is the world's strongest team, and in terms of world rankings, the Japanese women's football team ranks 11th. Currently, the top 5 women's soccer teams are the U.S. women's soccer team, the German women's soccer team, the Dutch women's soccer team, the French women's soccer team and the Swedish women's soccer team.
When Japanese and South Korean women's football girls played in European giants, most of the Chinese women's football girls chose to play in China for collective honor. For example, Wang Shuang is excellent in Paris, but not in tune with the Chinese women's football team. Therefore, Wang Shuang chose to come back on his own. In the end, from the perspective of the overall situation of the Chinese women's football team, Wang Shuang made the right decision to help the Chinese women's football team enter the Tokyo Olympic Games. However, in the future, it will be difficult for Wang Shuang to stay in the ocean, not that she does not have the strength, but it is difficult to integrate. If Wang Shuang stays in the ocean, there needs to be a team behind it.
But in the long run, the Chinese women's football team wants to really improve its level, not for an Olympic Games or a World Cup, or it should choose to go out.
