Wang Shanshan cried! Yao Wei cried! The Chinese women's football team was eliminated, and Shui Qingxia may be out of class
On the evening of November 1, Beijing time, the Chinese women's football team played against South Korea in the Olympic qualifiers, and the two sides finally played a 1-1 draw, while China finally ranked third in the group and missed the Olympic main event.
In fact, before the game, the situation of the Chinese team was not very good, but it did not seem to affect the mentality of the players, after the game started, the Chinese team quickly took the initiative, launched a very threatening attack many times, Wang Shanshan several shots created a lot of trouble for the opponent. In the 21st minute, Chinese player Wuri Gumula scored, but the linesman ruled that Wu Chengshu had cancelled the goal for offside. In the end, in the first half, neither side scored, and the Chinese team was also scoreless on the field.
After the start of the second half, it was the turn of the South Korean team to suppress the Chinese team, and in the 62nd minute, South Korean player Shen Xuanyan scored with a header, and the Chinese team fell behind 0-1. Then the Chinese team began to launch a counterattack, and in the 78th minute, Wang Shanshan seized the opportunity to score with a header. In the 85th minute, the Chinese team had a great chance, but Yan Jinjin's shot was deflected wide of the goal due to excessive pursuit of angles, and unfortunately missed the opportunity to kill the game. In the end, China and South Korea ended the game with a 1-1 draw, and this game not only made China out of qualifying, but also made South Korea and China share the same fate.
Interestingly, before the start of the game, there was news that Shui Qingxia became the AFC's best women's football coach in 2022, mainly based on the fact that she led the team to win the Asian Cup, so it is normal to see her win the award. It's just that in the three important events after the Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia's team results are really spicy. The World Cup was defeated, the Asian Games were once led by Japan, and the Olympic qualifiers did not qualify for the group. This situation is disappointing, now China is difficult to say that the top team in Asia, and South Korea has played back and forth, and facing Japan in the Asian Games is a big loss. From this point of view, the Chinese women's football team has indeed reached an embarrassing crossroads, should it actively seek change?
After the game, the players of the Chinese women's football team seemed to find it difficult to accept such an ending, Dou Jiaxing couldn't cry and hugged Shui Qingxia, Wang Shanshan, Yao Wei, Zhang Rui and others also couldn't cry. In fact, since the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup last year, they have carried the very high expectations of the fans, but unfortunately the Chinese women's football team has been deteriorating since the beginning of this year, and the players' crying is also very moving.
It is worth mentioning that Song Kai, chairman of the Football Association, just took office at the end of October, and when he took office, he made it clear that the Chinese women's football team must qualify for the Olympic preliminaries, but the Chinese women's football team lost 1-2 to North Korea in the first game. After losing to South Korea, the Chinese women's football team missed the Olympic Games for the second time in history.
Now the fans are most concerned about whether Shui Qingxia will leave class, judging from the current situation, Shui Qingxia's coaching ability is indeed average, it is a miracle to be able to win the Asian Cup last year, and it should only be a matter of time before Shui Qingxia gets out of class.
