Reporter Wang Wei reports On July 1, the Chinese women's football team, which was preparing for the game in Qingdao, played a match with the visiting Russian women's football team, and the Chinese women's football team beat the opponent 1-0 thanks to Zhang Rui's penalty in the second half. According to the plan, the Chinese women's football team will leave for Australia on July 7, and on July 13 and 17, the Chinese women's football team will warm up with the Brazilian women's football team and the Colombian women's football team in Australia. Wang Shuang, who is still competing in the women's league in the United States, will travel from the United States to Australia to join the Chinese women's team after finishing the match against Kansas City Women's on July 8.

The players Zhang Linyan, Wu Chengshu, Li Mengwen, Yang Lina and Shen Mengyu who played overseas have all returned to China to prepare for the Women's World Cup with the national team in Qingdao, and Wang Shuang, who has not returned to the team at present, is playing in the United States Women's Football League, and many fans are paying attention to the news of her return.

In the 14th round of the United States Women's Football League that ended in the early morning of the 2nd Beijing time, Wang Shuang's Louisville Athletic Women's football team drew 2-2 away at OL Monarch Women's Football, Wang Shuang started, in the 24th minute she created a penalty and hit the main penalty to help the team open the scoring, and in the 90th minute, she was substituted. After 14 games, Louisville Race women's soccer team is temporarily 8th in the table with 16 points.

According to the schedule, the Louisville Competition Women's Soccer Team will host the Kansas City Women's Soccer Team at 8 a.m. Beijing time on July 8, and after the 15th round of matches, the U.S. Women's Soccer League will be temporarily suspended for the Women's World Cup.

Previously, Louisville Athletic Women's Football Club sent a letter to the Chinese Football Association to ask about Wang Shuang's participation in the Women's World Cup, because the Chinese Football Association has not announced the list of 23 Chinese women's football players participating in the Women's World Cup so far, and the US Women's Football League has been in progress, the Chinese Football Association has not issued a player call letter to the club for the time being, and the Football Association's consideration is to hope that Wang Shuang will maintain a better game condition after playing the stage game of the US Women's Football League and return to the Chinese women's football team.

When will Wang Shuang return to the national team? In response to this question, Chinese women's football team manager Zheng Chaoyong said that Wang Shuang will go directly from the United States to Australia to meet with the Chinese women's football team after the US women's football league enters the break.

The warm-up match with the Russian women's football team is 2 games, and after the first game on the 1st, the Chinese women's football team will play another match with the Russian women's football team on the 4th.

The visiting Russian team is mainly composed of players from the domestic league, and the Chinese team warms up with them to familiarize themselves with the playing style of European teams and simulate a match against group rivals Denmark. These two warm-up matches are the most important opportunity to scout the team members and determine the formation and style of play before leaving for Australia.

The Chinese women's football team currently training in Qingdao has recruited Wang Shanshan, Zhang Rui, Wu Haiyan, Yao Wei, Yao Lingwei, Liu Yanqiu, Lou Jiahui, Gu Yasha, Zhang Xin, Zhu Yu, Wang Linlin, Tang Jiali, Xiao Yuyi, Gao Chen, Gao Jingyao, Wuzhi Gumula, Xu Huan, Ou Yiyao, Jin Kun, Dou Jiaxing, Pan Hongyan, Chen Qiaozhu, Wu Chengshu, Li Mengwen, Yang Lina, Shen Mengyu, Zhang Linyan and other players.

It is understood that Li Yanfei and Fang Jie have previously left the women's national team to return to their respective clubs, and Yang Qian also withdrew from the training of the Chinese women's football team due to injury. Zhao Yujie and Shen Monroe, who returned from overseas teams, have also left the national team, which means that the above five players are not included in the 23-man women's World Cup roster.

It is reported that the Chinese women's football team plans to announce the 23-man roster for the Women's World Cup after the second warm-up match with the Russian women's football team on July 4.

The coaching staff needs to subtract 5 players from the 27 people currently training in the team, 22 players will travel from China to Australia, and Wang Shuang will report directly to Australia. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese women's football team also has an emergency plan, and if individual players suffer injuries, they will be adjusted according to the actual situation.

According to the plan, the Chinese women's football team will fly to Australia on July 7 and play warm-up matches with the Brazilian women's football team and the Colombian women's football team on July 13 and July 17.

The Chinese Football Association has been contacting these two teams for some time, and in early June, Brazil and Colombia reached a consensus with the Chinese Football Association to play at the Australian base camp of the Brazilian women's football team and the Colombian women's football team. The Brazilian women's team is based in Brisbane, and the Colombian team is based in Sydney, when the Chinese women's football team will play in these two Australian cities. Colombian women's football team attaches great importance to playing against Chinese women's football team, because they are in a group that includes South Korean women's team, and they also want to be familiar with the characteristics of Asian teams.

According to the schedule, the first group stage match of the Chinese women's football team will be played against Denmark in Perth on July 22, Haiti in Adelaide on July 28 and England in Adelaide on August 1.
