In "Endless", Ruan Dawei, played by Fu Biao, sits in front of the TV.
On tv, the 1999 Women's World Cup final was live, and when Chastain stripped to celebrate after scoring the fifth penalty, his face was full of tears...
That tear is for the ex-girlfriend XiaoYun who left, but also for the Chinese women's football team.
Fu Biao was not a fan, at that time, he just joined in the fun, but he said that watching the Chinese women's football team play football, "with vigor".
That year, after the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, the Chinese women's football team was so close to the world championship, but it failed and was one "point" away from the boiling point.
What happens if you win the championship? Sun Wen, the daughter of the sun at that time and now vice chairman of the Football Association, has had many "assumptions".
"Taking this cup, the impact on women's football, the publicity, may have a different improvement." Sun Wen said, "Unfortunately, I didn't get it." Competitive sports are like that, and the first and second are always much different. ”
Her statement actually represents a view: if she won the 1999 World Cup, then the current Chinese women's football team may be another prosperous scene.
Perhaps, there is no need to play play-offs with Koreans, at least, it does not have to be so "heart-pounding".
Sun Wen's contemporary Mia Hamm corroborated from another perspective, "That victory at the doorstep completely changed the U.S. women's soccer team." ”
4 World Cup titles, 4 Olympic gold medals, this is the report card of the U.S. women's soccer team, including 5 championships, which were won after 1999.
As for the Chinese women's football team, the best result of the 5 World Cups since then, the best result is three times in the quarterfinals, the most recent 2019, it is the top 16, and once, we did not get the right to participate; as for the 5 Olympic Games, the best result is two quarterfinals, including the recent 2016, two group stages, 2012 London, we did not get tickets.
Tokyo, will be the 6th Olympic Games of the Chinese women's football team, they are only in the third gear, as for the goal, Jia Xiuquan said to strive to "make a difference", which is very pragmatic.
In 2019, Jia Xiuquan, who led the women's football team to play a major competition for the first time, put a "satellite" before the game, saying that he hoped to be crowned the World Cup champion, as a result, the group stage only won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, only the third promotion of the best group, after the 0-0 draw with Spain, Jia Xiuquan could not help but cry after the game - for the girls' struggle.
Almost two years later, Jia Xiuquan's eyes were red again, or for the girls' struggle.
Hard work may be the only thing left in the Chinese women's football team, once the "sonorous rose". As for technology, awareness, cooperation... No luxury.
For the two world runners-up that year, Ma Yuanan concluded that "caught up with a group of good players"; in the 2008 Olympic Games, Shang Ruihua once joked that he could lend Han Duan to the men's football team; in the 2019 World Cup, Jia Xiuquan said, "What I need is a team, not a star." ”
At that time, the outside world believed that Jia Xiuquan was targeting Wang Shuang and suppressing her. Jia Xiuquan has explained many times, and Wang Shuang has also said that it is not that meaning, but after qualifying for the Olympic preliminary play-offs, someone turned this sentence out again, "Look, it is the 'star' you don't need again who saved you." ”
No one does not like stars, including Jia Xiuquan, but what he needs more is a player who can enforce his own tactical discipline, the old eight come out of him, the most famous sentence is "no. 3 Sui Bo", but the most classic is when he took the national youth to tell the player, "Give me to keep an eye on him, he goes to the toilet, you have to go." ”
In fact, the current Chinese women's football team, under the rule of Jia Xiuquan, has the taste of iron blood, 0 to 2 can fight back, "the moon falls on the sky full of frost", is Wang Shuang's inspiration, but "Gusu City outside the Hanshan Temple (Han 3:4)", but it is the girls on the edge of the cliff to let go. In many failed moments in the past, the Chinese women's football team generally collapsed.
Women's football team out of the line, a voice emerged, that is, for the sake of the Chinese women's football team, Jia Xiuquan should resign.
For more than 20 years, the Chinese women's football team has changed 15 coaches, including foreign coaches, local coaches, old ones, young ones, familiar women's football teams, and some outside the women's football circle, but the results have declined all the way.
As for the root cause, Sun Wen said that it is because of youth training, "Although we (football) have a large population, there is not much real quality (football) population." ”
Youth training takes time, but women's football, have to be steady.
Jia Xiuquan may not be the best women's football coach, but at least, he is the one who can be stable.
