In order to prepare for the Women's World Cup, Hangzhou Asian Games, and Paris Olympic preliminaries, the Chinese women's football team regrouped at the Guangzhou Football Club base in Panyu, Guangzhou on January 26, thus becoming the first national team to sound the assembly call in the Lunar Year of the Rabbit.

The head coach Shui Qingxia led the team to do a good job in this training session, and played 4 international warm-up matches arranged in Spain, recruiting a total of 34 players.

Including Wang Shuang and Tang Jiali, two main players who played for overseas clubs, a total of 28 players participated in the domestic training.

Since the number of participants in each competition is strictly limited, the coaching staff will moderately streamline the existing lineup based on training and actual combat conditions. This also means that the Chinese women's football team's preparations for the Lunar New Year will start with fierce internal competition.

  regained the Asian title

  The road to recovery is still long

  In the Lunar Year of the Tiger that has just passed, the Chinese women's football team is undoubtedly the best among the men's and women's national teams.

In the women's football Asian Cup in India from late January to early February last year, the Chinese women's football team went all the way, and finally reversed and won the South Korean team in the final, thus regaining the championship after 16 years.

Judging from the operation situation in the past year, the Chinese women's football team has returned to the normal development track under the support of the Chinese Football Association and the coaching staff headed by the famous Shui Qingxia. They have also reawakened the enthusiasm of the majority of domestic fans. hope.

  However, in the rapid development of today's international women's football, no team can rest comfortably on the credit book.

Although the Chinese women's football team regained the Asian Cup title, in addition to the hard work of the whole team, there is also an element of luck in winning the championship.

For example, when the Chinese women's football team played against the Japanese team in the Asian Cup semi-finals and the South Korean team in the final, the winning process was ups and downs, and even fell into a passive situation.

In addition, the Chinese women's football team has never encountered a strong opponent in the current tournament, and the North Korean women's football team, which is the highest ranked among the women's football teams of the member associations of the AFC, failed to participate.

Therefore, for the Chinese women's football team to regain the Asian Cup championship, both the Chinese Football Association and Shui Qingxia's coaching team maintain a relatively clear understanding. The Chinese women's football team has a long way to go to achieve revival.

  Ensuring adequate staffing

  Strength is always an important weight

  It is precisely because of the increasingly severe international women's football competition in the future that the Chinese women's football team opened the prelude to a new cycle of preparations in Haikou City on December 5 last year.

Less than a week after the last training camp ended on January 20 this year (the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar), the team blew the first assembly call for the Chinese New Year in Panyu, Guangzhou on January 26 (the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar) .

  Considering that the Chinese women's football team will successively participate in three major events in the Women's World Cup, Hangzhou Asian Games Women's Football Tournament, and Paris Olympic Women's Football Asian Qualifiers in this big competition year, the Chinese Football Association has provided the team with maximum support.

Taking the staffing of service guarantee as an example, the association specially invites team doctors who have worked in the men’s and women’s football teams of the national name for about 20 years. The current team doctor of Hebei Football Club, Zhang Peng, is the attending doctor of this year’s Chinese women’s football team. Another team doctor, Yi Qing, Prior to this, he also provided medical services for U23 and other national men's and women's teams many times.

In addition, in addition to the normal staffing of coaching team members, the team also invited two physical coaches and three full-time scientific research and technical and tactical analysts.

  Of course, strength is always the most important competitive weight for a team competition.

According to the training notice announced by the Chinese Football Association, a total of 34 players have been selected for the new Chinese women's football training team, including Wang Shuang and Tang Jiali, two main attackers who have played for overseas clubs, and a total of 28 players participated in the domestic part. training camp.

Zhang Linyan and other 6 overseas club players will go to the local area to join the team after February 10, that is, after the team arrives in Spain.

  The warm-up schedule for next month is tight

  intense competition among players

  According to the plan, after the Chinese women's football team arrives in Spain, they will VS Spanish women's football on February 14, VS Swedish women's football on February 16, VS Spanish Vivaldi women's football on February 19, and VS Irish women's football on February 22. .

Considering that there are relatively many warm-up games and a tight schedule for this trip to Spain, all or most of the above-mentioned 34 players may go to Spain to compete.

However, like last year's Qatar Men's Football World Cup, each participating team in this Women's World Cup can sign up for a maximum of 26 players, and the upper limit of the number of players registered for each team in the Hangzhou Asian Games Women's Football Tournament and the Paris Olympic Women's Football Qualifiers is consistent with previous years. , and its specific number will not exceed 26 people.

Therefore, while the Chinese women's football team is preparing hard for the next game, there will also be healthy and fierce competition among players.

  According to the usual practice, the Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia will give a "mobilization" speech to the disciples on the team concentration day.

She said: "The three major competitions of the Chinese women's football team this year have heavy tasks, and our training requirements will be stricter than before. The coaching staff and players trust each other and have reached a unified goal. We will make sufficient preparations and go all out Play every game well."
