Deep thinking behind the fiasco: The Chinese team in the U-17 Women's Asian Cup has encountered major challenges
In the last game of the group stage of the 2024 U-17 Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team lost 0-4 to the Japanese team, missing the first place in the group, and the chance of direct promotion disappeared. After the game, many fans took to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the result of the game and their concerns about the future. So, what exactly happened in this game? How should we see the future of China's U-17 women's football team?
Match recap: From the beginning to the end, full containment
First half: Lost early, lack of attack
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team appeared to be relatively passive in attack, while the Japanese team showed strong attack power early. In the 8th minute of the game, Hana Kikuchi of the Japanese team seized the opportunity to score and let the Chinese team fall behind 0-1. This fantastic start boosted the morale of the Japanese team, while the Chinese team fell into passivity and failed to create many bright spots.
Second half: Pressing continues, mentality collapses
In the second half, Japan continued to keep it pressing, scoring again in the 74th minute to extend their lead. The mentality of the Chinese team began to fluctuate, with a series of mistakes at the defensive end, and in the 86th minute, they conceded again due to low-level mistakes in the backfield, and finally lost 0-4.
Key moments and player performance: the gap is obvious, and mistakes are frequent
After conceding two goals in a row, the Chinese team's mentality changed significantly, and the defensive line was lax, which led to more mistakes. Liu Jingwen and other players made a lot of low-level mistakes in the game, which not only exposed the team's technical and tactical shortcomings, but also reflected the immaturity of the mentality. On the contrary, Japan's Hana Kikuchi scored many times in the game, which became a nightmare for the Chinese team's defense, showing the strong strength of the Japanese team in the offensive end.
Heartbreak and anticipation go hand in hand
After the game, fans took to social media to express their disappointment with the team's performance. One loyal fan said: "My heart is broken to watch this game, the girls are obviously not in shape, and I hope the coaching staff can adjust something." Another fan said: "Instead of blaming the players, we should reflect on our youth system, and only when the foundation is laid can we make a difference on the international stage." ”
Adjust your mindset and regroup
Although the 0-4 defeat deprived China of a direct chance to qualify for the U-17 Women's World Cup, the future is not entirely bleak. The team needs to go all out for a chance to qualify in the upcoming games, but also learn from the lessons learned, especially in terms of mentality and technical and tactical adaptation. Only in this way can the Chinese U-17 women's football team perform better in future competitions.
Look at it rationally and wait for the flowers to bloom
The fiasco was an important lesson in the growth of China's U-17 women's football team. We should look at the results rationally, not only the shortcomings of the team, but also their potential in the future. I hope that under the guidance of the coaching staff, the little girls can adjust their mentality, continue to work hard, and contribute to the future of the Chinese women's football team.
Youth training is fundamental, and psychological construction is the key
As a professional sports commentator, I believe that the rise of the Chinese women's football team not only needs to improve its skills and tactics, but also needs to improve the youth training system and psychological construction. Only by solving the problem at the root can similar fiascos be avoided in future competitions.
