As we all know, the Chinese women's football team has been dismal in the three consecutive world series. Since Shui Qingxia led the team to win the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has failed to achieve satisfactory results in the subsequent World Cup, Asian Games and Olympic qualifiers. Even, directly missing the 2024 Paris Olympics, it stung the hearts of fans.
Recently, at the so-called youth football winter training mobilization meeting of the Football Association, Song Kai, chairman of the Football Association, said something about the direct cause of the women's football fiasco, and also gave the answer to Shui Qingxia's guidance. To sum up, the main reason why the Chinese women's football team has failed miserably in three world competitions in a row is that the training is not in place.
Of course, whether Song Kai's remarks can be recognized by the fans is another matter. In addition, Coach Shui Qingxia, as the head coach selected by the previous Football Association, Song Kai's words after taking office are indeed somewhat suspected of shirking responsibility. On the other hand, the Chinese women's football team went downhill, and Song Kai directly shirked the responsibility.
Since winning the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has almost become the face of Chinese football. However, when competing with the world's top teams in the World Series, we obviously saw the backwardness of the Chinese women's football team's skills and tactics. The rise of women's football in Europe has gradually moved closer to men's football, and even the North Korean women's football team, which rarely appears, can easily beat us.
Therefore, it is unfair to simply summarize the defeat of the Chinese women's football team in one sentence. As the direct manager of the national team, why is the Chinese women's football team not training properly? Is it the responsibility of Shui Qingxia to guide a person?
As early as when Jia Xiuquan coached the Chinese women's football team, there was a great controversy about the selection and appointment of the Chinese women's football team. If important decisions such as the selection and tactical positioning of personnel can be handed over to the head coach, at least the Chinese women's football team will not be at such a low point as it is now. Therefore, Song Kai's words are not agreed with by the vast majority of fans.
