In 18 games of competition, the spirit of the women's football girls who never give up and work hard has inspired the fans. On and off the field, the keyword that industry insiders and fans talk about the most is "hope".

Thanksgiving fans never give up

After the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese women's football team once again concentrated on preparing for the National Games after the end of the quarantine, and Shui Qingxia, a silver medalist member of the Atlanta Olympic Games, served as the head coach of the joint team.

In this National Games, the united team once fell behind Jiangsu in the second game of the group stage, and achieved a reversal in the second half of the game.

Shui Qingxia said that the process of football games will not be smooth, half-time backward, the guiding ideology of women's football is never to give up. By doing the details in the ensuing matches, the scene and outcome of the game will change.

"For Chinese women's football, stress is a part of life. We must not only learn to face difficulties, but also learn to enjoy the joy of life, I think the two can be taken into account. Shui Qingxia said.

In this competition, the host Shaanxi team suffered three consecutive penalty shootouts. Every last moment of the game, Shaanxi's substitute goalkeeper, Liu Qing of the "post-95s", will appear. As a veritable "penalty goalkeeper" in this tournament, Liu Qing saved a total of 5 penalties in the penalty shootout of the two games.

"Thank you to the fans for their shouts and support at the scene." Liu Qing said, "All my teammates fought on the field until the last second, which created an opportunity for me to play my own strengths." We spare no effort and do our best to fight every game. ”

In this competition, Shaanxi women's football team made history and won the third place. Head coach Liu Huana said that no matter what the score on the field, as long as the game is not over, she and the coaching staff and players will not give up.

"We all support women's soccer girls." This is the most shouted words from volunteers, staff and fans at the scene of the game to the women's football girls, although they are separated by masks, they can still see their smiling eyes clearly.

In the Tokyo Olympic Games, compared with the world's advanced level, the Chinese women's football team still has a certain gap. However, combing through the women's football competition of this National Games, many young players of the "post-95s" and "post-00s" have taken up the beams in their respective teams.

Hope is the strength of women's football to catch up.

United team member Wang Shuang, who played for the Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain women's football team, delivered multiple assists in this tournament. She said the Chinese women's football team is still a young team. "I hope that everyone will not only pay attention to the women's football matches of the National Games, but also continue to care about our women's Super League and Women's League One."

Cui Jiao, a 19-year-old sophomore at the Xi'an Institute of Physical Education, volunteered at the Shaanxi Provincial Stadium with many of his classmates as a volunteer at the National Games.

"I'm not a fan, but I feel like I'm moving closer to being a fan." Cui Jiao said that no matter whether it is sunny or rainy, you can feel that the women's football girls of each team are very hard. "I think that's what impressed me, a non-fan, and I think there's hope for a women's football team that works so hard."

Shui Qingxia said that in the past, the starting point of China's women's football team was very high, and everyone has always looked at women's football at the level of the top few of the Olympic Games and the World Cup. "It's because we started so high that the fans will have higher demands and expectations of us. I think for the team it's both pressure and motivation. In some details, we can do better, and I think the women's football team still has great hopes. ”

Many industry insiders interviewed believe that women's football needs more than just time to return to the peak. To revitalize women's football, it is necessary to strengthen the construction and training of youth echelons, solve the dilemma of women's football professional leagues, revitalize talent transportation at the source, and let good seedlings grow in the game.

In this competition, the host Shaanxi team played a dazzling, the girls opened the game with a small loss to the united team, the penalty shootout defeated Liaoning and the strong Jiangsu team, the semi-final penalty shootout was unfortunately defeated by the powerful Shanghai team, and then defeated the Beijing team and finally won the bronze medal.

Liu Huana introduced that in the past, there were only one or two echelons of Shaanxi women's football. "In recent years, Shaanxi women's football team has successively established 4 women's football echelons, and the talent reserve has been significantly improved compared with the past."

Throughout the world women's football competition in recent years, the strength and speed have been continuously improved, and the "women's football masculine" playing style, which is more difficult to control the game, has become the mainstream of the development of women's football in the world.

Wang Shuang believes that the emphasis of foreign strong teams on the whole field, high-speed offensive and defensive conversion and high-intensity confrontation shows that after the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the development of women's football has reached a watershed. "I think the Chinese women's football team is relatively young and needs more time and more high-quality games to exercise and then make progress."

Luo Le, a teacher in the Department of Social Physical Education of the Grammar School of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, believes that whether it is the performance of the national team or the level of the women's football domestic professional league, if you want to effectively improve, you must improve it under the premise of conforming to the development law of football.

"To improve the level and overall quality of women's football, in addition to the sports department, it is more necessary for the education department to exert efforts." Starting from the dolls, expanding the 'population base' of women's football, so that girls in middle and primary schools are willing to play football and love to play football, which requires the relevant departments and the whole society to change from bit by bit. Luo Le said. (End)
