Asian Cup Final "Second Battle"

　　Although more than 5 months have passed, the epic reversal of the Chinese women's football team in the Asian Cup final is still impressive.

　　At that time, the Chinese women's football team fell behind by two goals in the first half. After a short adjustment in the midfield, the women's football girls scored two goals in the second half and scored the winning goal in stoppage time, thus winning the ninth place in team history. Asian Cup champion trophy.

　　In the "Second Battle" between the two sides, the starting lineup of the Chinese women's football team was slightly adjusted. Young teenagers Wang Linlin and Zhang Linyan started, and Yang Lina also got the chance to start.

Wang Shuang and Tang Jiali stand by as substitutes.

　　In terms of starting the Korean women's football team, 4 adjustments were made, but the main framework was basically maintained.

　　In view of the stories of past encounters, although this game is only an East Asia Cup, it is still full of highlights.

South Korean female football player Zhang Seqi said bluntly before the game, hoping to "revenge" for the Asian Cup final.

continue training

　　In the first match of the previous East Asia Cup, the Chinese women's football team defeated the Chinese Taipei women's football team 2:0, while the South Korean women's football team lost to the Japanese women's football team 1:2.

　　In view of the weak opponents in the first game, the Chinese women's football team carried out a certain rotation, giving some players who had few opportunities to play before more opportunities to exercise.

　　This is also in line with the major purpose of the Chinese women's football team in this East Asian Cup. With the combination of the old, middle and young players, more young players can be trained and become a new force for the Chinese women's football team in the future.

　　However, judging from the performance of the last game, the state of the Chinese women's football team is not ideal.

Coach Shui Qingxia also said after the game that she hopes to slowly adjust her state through the game.

Status further improved

　　In the match with the South Korean team, the Chinese women's football team was not in an ideal state for a time. There was not even a single shot in the first half, and the overall coordination was also a little rusty, with many mistakes.

　　The opponent, the Korean women's football team, was significantly higher in momentum, with a full opening offensive and a very fierce defensive end.

The dominant South Korean team took the lead to break the deadlock, and Cui Youli pushed and scored near the penalty area line.

　　It wasn't until the 48th minute that the Chinese women's football team formed their first threat. Wang Shanshan volleyed a little over the bar from the penalty area.

Then the Chinese women's football offensive gradually started, and finally the teenager Wang Linlin equalized the score in the 75th minute.

　　For the Chinese women's football team in the training, although the process of the game was not smooth and many shortcomings were exposed, in general, the value of training is still very high.

　　Teenager Wang Linlin has withstood the opponent's test on the defensive end, and scored key goals on the offensive end, further improving her game experience and self-confidence.

　　For the Chinese women's football team, this is a process that must be experienced.

After all, in next year's Women's World Cup and the Olympic Games in the following year, more fresh forces need to be added, and these new forces need enough quality international competitions to accumulate.

　　As the champion of the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team will also receive more attention and attention from opponents than ever before, and become a key research object, which is also a big test for the team.

　　In addition, Wang Shuang, the core of the team, was injured for a long time, and Tang Jiali, who ended her overseas study, is also in the state of adjustment, which has had a certain impact on the Chinese women's football team.

　　It is a completely acceptable result to draw with the Korean women's football team and show some progress in this situation. It is absolutely possible to continue to maintain confidence in the future Chinese women's football team.

　　Chinese women's football team, keep going!
