At 16:00 Beijing time this afternoon, the final round of the U17 Women's Asian Cup Group B group stage was also a key game, the Chinese U17 women's football team played against the Japanese U17 women's football team, after 90 minutes of fierce competition between the players on the field, in the end, Hana Kikuchi's brace, Fukushima Nozomi and Nezu Riri each scored a goal, and the Chinese U17 women's football team defeated the Japanese U17 women's football team with a score of 0-4. As far as the normal game is concerned, although the possession rate of the two sides is comparable, whether it is from the number of goals, or from the number of shots, especially the number of shots on target, the Chinese U17 women's football team has lost!
Previously, in the two matches of Group B of the U17 Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese U17 women's football team faced the weaker Australian U17 women's football team and Thailand U17 women's football team, both defeated their opponents with a score of 3-0, and then advanced to the group with two consecutive wins. However, this afternoon, in the face of the powerful Japanese U17 women's football team, the Chinese U17 women's football team fought against the opponent.
Post-match statistics show that the possession rate of the Chinese U17 women's football team is 44%, and the possession rate of the Japanese U17 women's football team is 56%, and the gap between the two sides is only 12%. The Chinese U17 women's football team attacked 43 times, attacked 15 times, and only won 2 corners, while the Japanese U17 women's football team attacked 66 times, attacked dangerously 42 times, and won as many as 9 corners, which shows that the attack of the Chinese U17 women's football team is significantly weaker than that of the opponent; China's U17 women's football team had only 4 shots on goal and only 3 on target and failed to score, while Japan's U17 women's football team had a whopping 23 shots on goal, with 11 shots on target and scored 4 goals. It is not difficult to find that whether it is in terms of offensive efficiency or the number of shots, the Chinese U17 women's football team has been comprehensively suppressed by the Japanese U17 women's football team.
Therefore, judging from the whole game, the Chinese U17 women's football team seems to have only slightly weaker possession than the opponent, but in terms of offensive data, it is far behind the Japanese U17 women's football team. I have to say that we should have a sober understanding that China's level of both men's and women's football has lagged far behind Japan, and if we want to catch up with the pace of Japanese football, we must find a way to suit the development of Chinese football.
