February's women's international break has come to an end, with the final game of the East Asian Top 3 playing a night of tragedy. The Chinese women's football team made its first appearance, keeping a clean sheet by the Irish women's football team 0-0, and the whole team returned to China after the match, the South Korean women's football team lost 1-2 to the Italian women's football team, suffering three consecutive defeats to lock in the bottom, and the Japanese women's football team beat the Olympic champion Canadian women's football team 3-0, which may become the only East Asian team to qualify from the women's World Cup.
Recently, many teams, including the Chinese women's football team, prepared for the World Cup in July, so coach Shui Qingxia led the team to Spain to train, and the last game was against the third-rate European team Irish women's team, which is similar to the Danish women's football team in the same group.
In this game, the Chinese women's football team's foot technology and physical fitness are not as good as the opponent, but the game experience and on-field play prevailed, both teams were blown off in the second half, and finally drew 0-0, from the world ranking, the Chinese women's football team was also considered a clean sheet by the Irish women's football team.
In 4 warm-up games in Europe, the Chinese women's football team won 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and the opponents who won were all La Liga relegation teams, but the 1-4 defeat to the Swedish women's football team can reflect the real strength of the current Chinese women's football team in the football world, and has become a third-rate team in the world.
The Chinese women's football team played the warm-up match alone, and the Japanese women's football team and the Korean women's football team, which are also in the East Asian region, went to the United States and the United Kingdom to participate in the four-nation tournament respectively, and the value of exercise was even greater.
During this international break, the Japanese women's football team traveled to the United States to play the United States women's team, Brazil women's football team and Canadian women's football team, and all four teams ranked in the top 15.
After losing 1-0 to Brazil in the first game, the Japanese women's team lost 0-1 to the United States women's football team in the second game, suffering two consecutive defeats, and if the third game continues to lose, it will be reduced to the bottom, and finally faced the new Olympic champion Canadian women's team, the Japanese women's football team completed a crazy outbreak, 3-0 to complete the hanging.
However, the South Korean women's football team continues to perform in a sluggish manner. Traveled to the United Kingdom to participate in the Four Nations Tournament, the first game against the host England Women's football team suffered a 0-4 defeat, the second game lost 1-2 to Belgium Women's team, and now the third game against Italy Women's Team, still 1-2 down, suffered 3 consecutive defeats and 0 points, reduced to the bottom of the table.
Next to participate in the World Cup, the South Korean women's football team is likely to become a point boy, facing European and American teams have no advantage, the Japanese women's football team is different, losing to the United States women's football team and Brazil women's football team are one goal defeat, and then three goals defeated the Canadian women's team, more hope to qualify, and even reach the round of 8.
With the rise of European teams, the advantages of China's women's football team and Japan's women's football team, the two traditional powerhouses in Asia, have diminished, especially the Chinese women's team, which is worried about encountering a round of group stage tours.
