The top three finishers from this year's Women's U17 Asian Cup will qualify for the Women's U17 World Cup. Japan U17 and North Korea U17 reached the final and qualified early. The Chinese women's football team U17 and the South Korean women's football team U17 are competing for the third place and the last place to qualify for the World Junior Championships.
Before the game, everyone from the fans to the players was highly confident that they would definitely win against the South Korean women's U17 women's football team, and it would be a big victory. The root cause of this thinking is that the South Korean women's U17 team lost 0-7 to the North Korean women's U17 team in the first round of the group stage. The Chinese women's football team only lost 0-1 to the North Korean women's football team U17 in the semifinals.
The author posted before the game that there was no comparison between the two games, the South Korean women's football U17 met the North Korean women's football U17 knowing that the strength was not as good as the opponent, and they did not hesitate to attack with all their might, so they lost a bit miserably, while the Chinese women's football team U17 was put on a bus to defend with all their might, so they lost a goal. Compared to the results of the two teams against the Japanese women's national junior team, in fact, the level of the two teams is basically the same.
At the beginning of the game, if this was the case, the Chinese women's national youth team did not crush the opponent as expected, and the South Korean women's football team was much stronger than imagined. The two sides were stuck together at the beginning of the game, the fans were stunned, the players were also confused, and it was impossible to say a good big victory. Moreover, although Kathy Phil, the striker of the South Korean women's national junior team, is less than 17 years old, she has participated in the Women's World Cup, and her ability and level are very high, but she has been ignored by the Chinese women's football team.
In the end, it was Casey Phil who scored twice to help the South Korean women's national junior team win 2-1 and get the third ticket in Asia to qualify for the World Junior Championships. The Chinese women's football team had already equalized in the 81st minute, but in the 85th, the No. 14 of the Chinese women's football team passed the ball back to Casey Phil when the Chinese women's football team returned the ball in the backline. This is the so-called own assist!
So far, the Chinese women's national youth team and the national youth team have not rushed out of Asia and are not eligible to participate in world-class competitions. The follow-up development of the Chinese women's football team is very worrying. The Chinese women's football team and the Chinese men's football team have the same fatal flaw, after getting the ball, they will give priority to the return pass, if it is to transition and then attack and return the pass is not wrong, but it is a matter of mentality.
There is a data for Chinese football players to be examined is the pass success rate, and the data analyst will report the pass success rate of each player in this game, that is, how many passes have been made, and how many passes have been successful. A high pass success rate will be reused, and a low pass success rate may lead to elimination by the team.
Whether it's men's or women's football, the highest pass success rate is through the return pass. Therefore, thinking about returning the ball has also become the soul of the Chinese men's and women's football team. Defenders are also afraid of taking responsibility for receiving a lot of return passes, so they will choose to kick wide and kick away first. Sooner or later, the return pass will kill the Chinese men's football team and the Chinese women's football team.
