Reflection behind the fiasco: China's U-17 women's football team lost 0-4 to Japan, and the suspense of promotion has risen again
On May 13, Beijing time, the Chinese women's football team U-17 suffered a painful defeat in the final round of Group B of the Asian Cup, losing 0-4 to the Japanese team and missing the top spot in the group. This match not only deprived the Chinese team of the opportunity to advance directly, but also made fans full of worries and doubts about the future of the team. So, what's really going on in this game? How should the Chinese U-17 women's football team cope with the next challenges?
Match recap: From the beginning to the end, the whole process is controlled
First half: Lost early, suppressed at both ends of the pitch
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team seemed a little out of shape. In the 5th minute, Japan's Sato Momo broke through with the ball on the right side, and the shot from a small angle was saved by the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, which sounded the alarm for the Chinese team's backline. Just four minutes later, Japan made a cross from the right and Fukushima scored from the empty net, and China fell behind 0-1. This start made the Chinese team passive, and in the next game, the Chinese team did not have many bright spots in attack, but there were frequent dangers on the defensive end.
Second half: Pressing continues, mentality collapses
In the second half of the game, the Japanese team continued to maintain a high pressure posture. In the 74th minute, Hana Kikuchi, who came on as a substitute, scored a single goal to expand the score to 0-2. At this time, the Chinese team's defense began to make more mistakes, and in the 78th minute, Japan's Asako Furuta's shot from a small angle was blocked by Hou Shulin. Towards the end of the game, Hana Kikuchi once again seized the opportunity to successfully counter-rob and scored the second goal of the game with a single knife to seal the victory. In stoppage time, Nezu Riri took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score another goal, and in the end, the Chinese team lost 0-4.
Key moments and player performance: the gap is obvious, and mistakes are frequent
In this game, the Chinese team not only suffered a heavy defeat in the score, but also exposed the team's obvious deficiencies in technical tactics and psychological quality. In particular, in the 47th minute, Xiao Jiaqi took a corner kick and shot directly, but the suspense of the goal line that the referee did not express, and the mistake of the goalkeeper and the defender in the 54th minute, almost led to the loss of the empty goal, which made people see the inexperience of the Chinese team at the critical moment.
A strong performance from the Japanese team
The performance of the Japanese team was perfect, especially the substitute Hana Kikuchi, who not only scored twice, but also showed excellent court intelligence and calm mental quality at key moments, which became a nightmare for the Chinese team's defense. In addition, the outstanding performances of Nozomi Fukushima and Riri Nezu also demonstrated the all-round technical and tactical superiority of the Japanese team.
Disappointment and expectation coexist
After the game, fans took to social media to express their disappointment with the team's performance. A loyal fan commented: "My heart is broken to see this game, the girls are obviously not in shape, I hope the coaching staff can make adjustments." 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 4-0 defeat cost China the top spot in the group, the future is not entirely bleak. In the next semi-finals, the Chinese team will face North Korea, and this match will be a severe test for the Chinese U-17 women's football team. The team needs to learn lessons during this time, especially in terms of mentality adjustment and technical and tactical adaptation, so that they can perform better in the next games.
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
I believe that the rise of Chinese women's football requires not only technical and tactical improvement, but also a perfect youth training system and psychological construction. Only by solving the problem at the root can similar fiascos be avoided in future competitions.
