Although the final draw South Korean women's football team, but this result is not enough to meet the qualifying conditions, the second stage of the Chinese women's football Olympic preliminaries results fixed at 1 win and 1 draw with 4 points, ranking third in the group, although the South Korean women's football team 1 win, 2 draws and 5 points remain undefeated, won the second place in the group, but due to the Uzbekistan women's football team won the last round, the South Korean women's football team was also eliminated, a game shake and peace, but finally out of the game, this result can not be described as tragic, after the game the players of the two teams can hardly smile, and even some players shed tears of regret.
Looking back on 2023, the Chinese women's football team not only did not show its advantages in the three major competitions, but also let the outside world see its shortcomings, especially between the European and American teams, there is a gap in terms of technical and tactical deployment to the individual ability of players, which also prompts domestic players to take the initiative to stay abroad and improve their own strength. In addition to the difference in strength, in key games, the team's self-confidence is insufficient, especially against the world's top ten teams, and it has been suppressed in the midfield for a long time, which is difficult to win such a performance, and it is more difficult to even play a draw, and the inability to attack is the main problem on the offensive end.
In the past 1 year, Shui Qingxia's coaching has attracted a lot of heated discussions, on the one hand, in terms of recruitment, too much consideration of veterans, resulting in the slow progress of the replacement of the old and the new, and even the situation of training young players in the competition, obviously this is in line with the attributes of the competition, after all, the level is much higher than the warm-up game. On the other hand, it is used by players. The outside world focused on Wang Shanshan, and Shui Qingxia put it in the back line many times, but in the actual game, Wang Shanshan's role on the offensive end was greater, so Shui Gui never gave a satisfactory answer, so that Wang Shanshan often used it at both ends, which was not conducive to the player's preparation and play.
Although Shui Qingxia has just won the best coach of the AFC, she was unfortunately out of the game on the same day. However, informed media revealed that after the match with the South Korean women's football team, Shui Qingxia has said goodbye to the players, first, she summarized the efforts of the past two years and thanked the players for their support. The second is to wish the international players and national team staff all the best in the future, it is not difficult to see that Shui Qingxia is already preparing for the end of class.
As the Olympic preliminaries have ended, the Chinese women's football team has also been temporarily disbanded, some international players have returned to the European League to continue their overseas journey, while most of the players have returned to China to participate in the final stage of the Women's Super League, which will resume three days later. It is foreseeable that since there will be basically no major tournament to participate in in the next two years, the Chinese women's football team will promote the process of replacing the old with the new.
