What is the best proof of strength? It lies in defeating strong teams, and it also lies in being able to quickly bounce back from adversity. On November 1, in the 8th round of the 2021 women's Super League, Wuhan women's football team completed the reversal in only 3 minutes in the second half under the unfavorable situation of falling behind 1-2 at halftime, and finally defeated Guangdong women's football team 4-2, continuing to maintain an unbeaten and league leader position.
Lightning reversals to confuse opponents
In the first half, the first to break the deadlock was the Wuhan women's football team, after foreign aid Tabitha received a direct pass assist from captain Yao Wei, "raw" international defender Lin Yuping, and then swung past the national peng Shimeng, scoring a typical "Tabitha"-style goal. But the Guangdong women's football team is no longer what it used to be, with five Members of the Tokyo Olympic Team and a number of foreign aides, and scored twice in the first half.
But how can the powerful Wuhan women's football team give up. Just one minute into the second half, foreign centre-forward Bia brushed past the close-knit defender and scored a powerful shot to equalise the score before the defenders. Two minutes later, she sent a wonderful pass to Tabitha, who sprinted away and pushed the far goalpost to pop up, the opposing defender hurriedly swung himself, and the Wuhan women's football team completed the counterattack.
Subsequently, the Wuhan women's football team became more and more courageous, and Wang Shuang, who came off the bench, received a second pass from Biya in the 56th minute, pushing the far corner to win, helping the team end the wonderful reversal 4-2. Head coach Chang Weiwei expressed great satisfaction with the efforts of the whole team after the game: "There was no special adjustment in the half, that is, to play according to the previous plan, everyone did a good job, especially in terms of attack, and it was reasonable to pull back. Now the team is getting better and better, and the players are working hard. ”
There was a reason for the half-time falloff
Some fans may ask, why did the powerful Wuhan women's football team fall behind in the first half? Is there something wrong with that? In fact, the short fall behind in the first half is indeed due to reasons, one is because the other side is no longer what it used to be, and the other is a change of position from a long-term perspective.
Fans if you pay attention to women's football for a little longer, you know that the achievements of Guangdong women's football in the past few years are not very good, when the Wuhan women's football team has been sharpening the knife in the women's super league Huo Huozhi won the championship, Guangdong women's football team is basically the role of accompanying the prince to study.
But in the past two years, the young players of the Guangdong women's football team have grown rapidly, and this year's Tokyo Olympic Games have already selected luo Guiping, Li Qingtong and Chen Qiaozhu three players into the Chinese women's football team, and then the international Lin Yuping and Peng Shimeng joined forces, this team already has five internationals who have participated in the Tokyo Olympic Games. Although Luo Guiping and Chen Qiaozhu basically did not participate in the league due to injury, Zhong Xiudong also replaced Chen Qiaozhu in the National Games, coupled with the old international Tan Ruyin and a number of foreign aides, the luxury of this team is not much worse than that of Wuhan women's football team. In the current standings, Guangdong women's football ranks fifth and has great hopes of reaching the championship group, which may have a major impact on the championship competition.
In addition, Guangdong's foreign aid is also quite promising, they have found two high-impact players from Africa: Nigeria international Villa and Cameroon international Charlene Meyan. The first goal conceded by the Wuhan women's football team came from Villa's strong impact - this is still evident in the fact that Chang Wei has deliberately followed the practice of playing against Shanghai's foreign aid Barbara, withdrawing Temwa to play as a defender.
Chang Weiwei was also very calm about this after the game: "The temporary backwardness in the first half was also an accident, the Guangdong team has a certain strength, but I and the players always believe in winning the opponent." ”
