The Chinese women's football team has a lot of events this year, Jia Xiuquan led the team to the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the result was that the sonorous rose group stage was 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, scoring 6 goals, but conceding 17 goals, losing a "body without skin". Like 0-5 defeat to Brazil, 4-4 draw to Zambia, 2-8 big score loss to the Netherlands, for the Chinese women's football players, it is like a nightmare, this is the second largest tragedy in the history of Chinese women's football created by Jia Guidance, who has been "out of class".
On October 28, the results of the 2022 Indian Women's Asian Cup group draw were announced, and the Second Gear China team was drawn into Group A, and the opponents in addition to the host Indian Women's Football Team, there were also Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team and Iranian Women's Football Team. According to the latest rankings released by FIFA, China's women's football team ranks 17th in the world and ranks 4th in Asia; Chinese Taipei ranks 40th in the world and 8th in Asia; India ranks 57th in the world and 11th in Asia, and Iran ranks 72nd in the world and 14th in Asia. The status of the Chinese women's football team in Group A is undoubtedly "big sister", and I believe that taking the first place in the group with a total victory record should simply be like the number "1".
Asian women's football teams ranked above the Chinese women's football team include North Korea (ranked 9th in the world), Australia (11th), Japan (13th), ranking in the top 3 in Asia; between china and China's Bozhong is South Korea (18th in the world and 5th in Asia).
Due to the announcement of the Dpron women's football team in July to withdraw from the women's Asian Cup qualifiers, the Australian seeded team Dalia women's football team was drawn into Group B, and the opponents in the same group were Thailand (world ranking 39th, Asia ranked 7th), the Philippines (world ranking 68th, Asia ranked 13th), Indonesia (world ranking 96th, Asian 19th); Group C seeded team is Japan women's football team, the same group of opponents are South Korea, Vietnam (world ranking 32nd, Asian ranked 6th), Myanmar (world ranking 46th, Asia ranked 10th). The Chinese team successfully avoided the Australian and Japanese women's football team and indeed drew a "upper draw".
The Women's Asian Cup will be held from January 20 to February 6 next year, and there will be 12 teams participating in four stages, the first team is India (host), Japan and Australia; the second team is China, Thailand and South Korea; the third team is the Philippines, Vietnam and Iran; and the fourth team is Chinese Taipei, Myanmar and Indonesia.
The 12 teams are divided into 3 groups, with the top 2 in each group and the 3rd place in the 2 best-performing groups advancing to the quarter-finals, followed by semi-finals and finals. According to the rules, the 5 teams with the best results (except Australia) will receive direct tickets to the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Two teams will also qualify for the Intercontinental Play-offs.
In fact, Asian football has won at least 6 tickets for the 2023 Women's World Cup, and with the strength of the Australian women's football team, most of them can reach the Asian Cup championship and runner-up finals, which means that the teams that get the top 6 in the Asian Cup 8 will also get the 2023 Women's World Cup tickets, it can be said that the Chinese women's football team has almost no difficulty in obtaining the 2023 World Cup entry tickets, which is quite simple.
The Women's Asian Cup is about to start, but the "project" of the Chinese Football Association to select a coach for the women's football team has progressed slowly and has reached an impasse. On October 16, the Football Association interviewed five candidates for the competition for the head coach of the women's national football team, namely former women's U16 coach Chen Wanting, Shaanxi women's football coach Liu Huana, Guangzhou City team leader Zhao Junzhe and former Chinese women's football coach Zhang Haitao, and women's U20 national team coach Wang Jun.
According to the plan, the Football Association should announce the new Chinese women's football coach around October 23, but it has not been announced because of different voices. The rumored candidate is Zhao Junzhe, but the doubts are the greatest.
On the one hand, Zhao Junzhe has been engaged in administrative management work after retiring, serving as the director of the National Management Department of the Football Association, the general manager of Shijiazhuang Yongchang Club, the leader of the Guangzhou City team, etc. On the other hand, the work experience of coaching women's football is zero, and the experience of coaching the Chinese Super League club is only "firefighting", and there is only more than half a year, and there are no more outstanding achievements as capital.
Before the competition work began, the highest voice in the circle was Shui Qingxia, on the one hand, she led the Shanghai team to win the league, cup, and national games championships many times; on the other hand, Shui Qingxia was both a female coach and a former women's football international, and had also been coaching in the first team, familiar with the development trend and trend of domestic and international women's football, and during the Fourteenth Games, she made a cameo appearance as the head coach of the Olympic united team to win the championship, but she voluntarily withdrew from the campaign, and the reasons behind it caused widespread suspicion; there is also news that Chen Wanting may counterattack successfully.
No matter who the Football Association finally determines who is in charge of the women's national football team, it is normal, after all, Li Tie can become the head coach of the Chinese men's football team. Li Tie won four consecutive victories in the top 40 and won a five-year contract, but the on-site command and platooning of the top 12 matches, as well as some views interviewed by the media, have been questioned, such as "the coach of the Chinese national team must be Chinese, and only Chinese can do this well."
I believe that zhao junzhe coached, leading the Chinese women's football team to play the Asian Cup will not be a problem, after all, the strength of the opponent is there, no matter how easy it is to get the first place in the group, and winning a game in the quarterfinals can enter the 2023 Women's World Cup, even if it is an unexpected loss, there is also the qualification to play the intercontinental play-offs.
However, if the Chinese Football Association simply defines the good or bad results of the Asian Cup as whether it is competent to be the head coach of the women's football team, it is a bit too hasty. Zhang Haitao, one of the bidders, led the team 17 years ago to trigger the first major tragedy in the history of Chinese women's football, which is still fresh in people's minds. 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team 0-8 defeat to the German women's football team, is considered by the outside world to be "adults beat children", Zhao Junzhe led the team to the 2023 Women's World Cup, it really makes people worry, will it reproduce the third largest tragedy of the big score loss?
Zhang Jiajun, Jia Jiajun, or Zhaojiajun, Chen Jiajun, Liu Jiajun, Wang Jiajun, the competition between the local coaches of Chinese women's football, "there is no worst, only worse", the "sonorous rose" that won the Women's World Cup and the Olympic Games has withered away, and when it will bloom again is still unknown.
