Since the completion of the assembly at the Xianghe National Football Training Base on June 10, the Chinese women's football team has been preparing for training for one month. Faced with the dual challenges of high temperature weather and high-intensity preparation, the whole team actively prepared for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Coach Jia Xiuquan through training to examine the players, selected a 22-person squad, this set of old and new lineup can inject new vitality into the Chinese women's football team, will be tested in the Olympic arena.
On the 7th, FIFA announced the 22-man roster of the teams participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games. The lineup of the Chinese women's football team includes core players such as Wang Shuang, Wang Shanshan, Wu Haiyan, etc., but Tang Jiali, Lou Jiahui and others have not been involved in it, which has caused a lot of controversy. On the 10th, the Chinese women's football official announced the final list of the expedition to Tokyo, and the only change was Chen Qiaozhu in place of Jin Kun. Tang Jiali's defeat stemmed from injuries, and Lou Jiahui and Ma Jun's exit was more due to the consideration of the coaching staff and tactics.
In this issue of Xianghe training, Jia Xiuquan recruited a number of young players in one go, adjusting the list of matches is reasonable, and the main point of controversy is that he used too many young players who lacked experience in the competition in one go. In the 22-man roster, only Wang Shuang, Wang Shanshan, Wu Haiyan and Yang Man participated in the last Rio Olympics. Compared with the 2019 FIFA World Cup women's football squad in France, only the above 4 people and Lin Yuping, Luo Guiping, Wang Yan and Wang Ying are left in the list today.
Among the newcomers shortlisted this time, Liu Jing, Wang Yanwen and Chen Qiaozhu have all represented the national youth team in international competitions and have certain strength; Urigumula has performed well in the Chinese Women's Super League, and her impact is exactly what the Chinese women's football team needs. At present, this lineup with the old leading the new can bring some positive changes to the Chinese women's football team, and at the same time promote the replacement of the old and the new in the team. Jia Xiuquan said bluntly that the 22 players selected by the coaching staff are the most suitable candidates, and he also hopes to cultivate more available talents for the Chinese women's football team.
According to the plan, the Chinese women's football team is scheduled to depart for Tokyo on the 17th of this month. According to the schedule, on the 21st, the Chinese women's football team will face the strong opponent Brazil in the first match of the group stage of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
