On January 20, Beijing time, the 2022 Women's Football Asian Cup officially kicked off in India! This Women's Football Asian Cup is the first event after the "expanding army", with a total of 12 teams participating in the finals. The Chinese women's football team is in Group A with the hosts Indian women's football team, Chinese Taipei women's football team and Iranian women's football team. The top two in the group and the third in the two teams with better performance will advance to the quarterfinals, so there is no big problem for the Chinese women's football team to qualify in the group, and the real challenge should be in the knockout round. In addition, the top five Asian Cup will directly qualify for next year's Women's World Cup !
The increase in participating teams still cannot change the basic status of Asian women's football team. The three teams, China, Japan and Australia, are still popular to win the championship. Whether the Korean women's football team can pose a threat depends on the on-the-spot performance and the signing situation of the knockout match. As the most successful team in the Women's Football Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team has won the championship 8 times, but the last time it won the championship was still in 2006. The newly appointed Shui Qingxia coach also set his goal as the champion before the game. It can be said that both Chinese football and Chinese women's football team are in urgent need of a good result to cheer up!
It is not difficult for the Chinese women's football team to win in the first match against the Chinese Taipei Women's Football Team. In the last five encounters between the two teams, the Chinese women's football team has achieved a complete victory and has not lost a single goal. The most recent match was in the Asian qualifiers of the Women's Football Team at the Olympics on February 10, 2020. At that time, the Chinese women's football team defeated their opponents 5-0. Among the four players who scored the goal, Wang Shanshan , Li Ying , and Tang Jiali are all in the current team, and only Wu Haiyan missed this event due to injury.
This is the first intercontinental event since the director Shui Qingxia took office. The list of players on the roster includes the old-middle-youth generation players, including the "Wanjin Oil" veteran Wang Shanshan, the Mesozoic representative Wang Shuang , and the new generation young player Zhang Linyan , etc. The Asian Cup of Women's Football Team is like a small test, not only to give head coach Shui Qingxia the "exam", but also to provide opportunities for the Chinese women's football team to return to track. The defeat at the Olympic Games last year is still vivid in my mind. This Asian Cup is the best opportunity to prove that the Chinese women's football team still has the power to fight!
Similarly, fans do not understand the technical and tactical styles of this Chinese women's football team. After all, the lineup of Water coach led the joint team to National Games is not much the same as the current lineup. The strength of the three opponents in the group stage is difficult to threaten the Chinese women's football team, and using competitions instead of training has become the biggest purpose of the Chinese women's football team in the group stage. There are all powerful players on the women's football roster. How to match and combine depends on the skills of coach Shui Qingxia! come on! Chinese women's football team!
