After the meeting, the Chinese women's football team announced the squad of 20 people, Wang Shuang , Wang Shanshan, Wu Haiyan, Peng Shimeng, etc. are all on the list. Forward Li Ying missed the trip.
Jia Xiuquan introduced that the competition between China and South Korea has been postponed several times. Now the whole team wants to win through their own efforts and will definitely go all out to complete the set goals. He believes that from the perspective of China and South Korea's women's football in the AFC rankings in the past ten years, the strength of the two teams is among the best and each has its own characteristics. "During my tenure as the head coach, I had two chances to play against the South Korean team. Although we won 1-0 in the Meizhou Four Nations Tournament, the South Korean team gave me a deep impression at that time. The South Korean women's football team is the best in Asia. A strong team, you can compete with any Asian team."

In response to rumors such as "off-the-board recruitment" by his opponent when entering South Korea, Jia Xiuquan responded that he did not think that entering South Korea encountered difficulties, the entry time was longer, and there were more materials to fill out. This is exactly the South Korean government and epidemic prevention. The department is responsible for the Korean people and the Chinese women's football team. "We understand that people's lives are the most important at the time of the epidemic. We have no complaints, and I am also grateful for the serious work of South Korea."
In the Tokyo Olympic Women's Football Qualifier Group B match in February 2020, Chinese women were enough for three. Two wins and one draw ranked second in the group. According to the rules, the Chinese women's football team will have a play-off match with the South Korean team to compete for a place in the Tokyo Olympics. Due to the epidemic and other reasons, the two-round life-and-death battle between the Chinese women's football team and the South Korean team in deciding Olympic tickets has been postponed several times before. In the end, the two rounds of the match were scheduled for April 8th and April 13th. (End)
