The Chinese women's soccer team suffered a crushing defeat at the Tokyo Olympics, scoring 6 goals and conceding 17 goals, the worst of all the participating teams. But after the Olympic Games, there was still no news of head coach Jia Xiuquan's departure. Not only that, but there was also a group of football journalists who blamed and threw the pot for him. One of the reporters said that Tang Jiali did not go to the Olympic Games because she was emotional and had nothing to do with Jia Xiuquan. The move angered media personality Qin Tian, who severely rebuked unscrupulous reporters, pointed out that Tang Jiali very much wanted to participate in the Olympic Games, and posted chat records, proving that Tang Jiali's failure to participate in the Tokyo Olympics had nothing to do with injuries.
The Chinese women's football team is the Olympic list released on July 11, and before the Olympic list was announced, Jia Xiuquan had a show-turning operation. On June 17, Jia Xiuquan brought three newcomers to the team, and he first found Ma Jun and Lou Jiahui to talk to and asked the two to "rest and rest" first. Then ma jun and Lou Jiahui were announced internally for "paid recuperation", which means that the two have been excluded from the big list. One of the remaining targets was originally a veteran, and Jia Xiuquan also talked to her, but Tang Jiali's injury made Jia Xiuquan change her mind.
Tang Jiali developed knee pain on June 24, and Jia Xiuquan did not take a picture of Tang Jiali as usual to determine whether her injury would affect the Olympic Games, but directly notified Tang Jiali to go home and rest. In this way, Tang Jiali, Ma Jun, and Lou Jiahui were excluded from the Olympic roster and replaced by three newcomers. Tang Jiali did not want to lose the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games, so she went to the hospital for examination after leaving the Xianghe base. The hospital's diagnosis was that there was indeed an injury, but not heavy, and it only took a few days off to train and play.
Tang Jiali tried to communicate with Jia Xiuquan, and she sent WeChat to ask for a call that was rejected. Then she stated that she was not in serious trouble after the examination, and Jia Xiuquan did not respond to her. During this period, Tang Jiali pleaded with Jia Xiuquan three times, but the result was still rejected. In this way, the hero who made a great contribution to the Olympic ticket lost the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games. Qin Tian revealed that Tang Jiali told him: I didn't even help buy the ticket, I bought it myself, and I felt that I was "driven out" of the national team.
The whole incident revealed "weirdness" everywhere, and also laid the groundwork for the fiasco of the Chinese women's football team. Throughout the Olympic Games, many members of the Chinese women's football team performed abnormally. Goalkeeper Peng Shimeng has made many low-level mistakes and looks like an amateur player. But her previous performances in the game were very good, especially in the 2019 World Cup, and she was the biggest contributor to the Chinese women's football team qualification. The AFC refers to her as the "Great Wall of China" and considers her to be the most important player on the Chinese team besides Wang Shuang and Wang Shanshan.
In addition to Peng Shimeng, there are also people such as Li Qingtong, Li Mengwen, Wang Xiaoxue and other people who have played abnormally, which fully shows that this women's football team has serious problems in mentality. The selection of the Chinese women's football team reflects the deepest problems of Chinese football. Without a problem-solving attitude and digging deep into the entangled relationships behind it, Chinese football still has no hope.
