Chinese women's football team warms up to Sweden in the early morning of the 17th

Encountering a strong enemy is both a challenge and a learning

　　At 1:30 am on February 17th, Beijing time, the Chinese women's football team will play against the Swedish women's football team in a warm-up match.

For the Chinese women's football team, this warm-up match with Sweden will be the most critical match among the four overseas warm-up matches.

　　The Chinese women's football team arrived in Spain on February 11 and will have 4 warm-up matches as planned.

In the warm-up match on the 14th, the women's football coach Shui Qingxia formed a semi-main lineup, led by Wang Shanshan, Zhu Yu, Zhang Rui, Wang Xiaoxue, Xiao Yuyi, and young players such as Fang Jie got the chance to play.

　　Soon after the start of the game, the Real Betis women's football team took the lead, and Wang Shanshan equalized the score in the 28th minute.

In the second half, Fang Jie, who came off the bench, made a contribution, and the Chinese women's football team reversed the opponent 2:1.

　　For the Chinese women's football team, this "warm-up" match is worthy of the name.

Real Betis currently ranks low in the Western Women's Super League, and the Chinese women's football team has not fully attacked.

But after the warm-up, the Chinese women's football team will face the most important test.

It can be said that playing against the Swedish women's football team is the main purpose of the Chinese women's football team's trip to Spain.

　　In this duel, the Chinese women's football team will regard the Swedish women's football team as their "imaginary enemy" in the Women's World Cup.

The Swedish women's football team is targeting the strongest opponent of the Chinese women's football team in the group stage-the England women's football team.

　　In July this year, the Women's Football World Cup is about to start. The Chinese women's football team will face two European teams, England and Denmark, in the same group.

Among them, England and Sweden are evenly matched in strength, and the two teams took turns sitting on the third throne in the world.

　　Therefore, this game against Sweden is of great reference value to the Chinese women's football team.

　　The Swedish women's football team is strong. Players such as Slany, Jacobsson and Janogi are the main players of their respective clubs.

At the same time, influenced by men's football, the overall style of the Swedish women's football team is tough and good at physical confrontation.

In addition, the team's frontcourt runs actively and has a strong impact.

　　In recent international competitions, the Swedish women's football team has a record of 10 matches, 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, scoring 35 goals and conceding 9 goals, which also shows the strong overall strength of the team.

　　Although the Chinese women's football team won the Women's Asian Cup in 2022, because they spend most of their time in the Asian arena, it may be difficult for them to adapt to the high-intensity and strong confrontational characteristics of European teams.

Therefore, "resistance to pressure" may become the posture of the Chinese women's football team in this game.

　　However, the Chinese women's football team is not without its own advantages.

Shui Qingxia said in an interview before that the Chinese team played a lot as a whole and could play partial cooperation.

Therefore, in the face of Sweden, which has a stronger one-on-one ability, the Chinese women's football team needs to play an overall role and play its own advantages.

　　Facing the Swedish women's football team, the Chinese women's football team is likely to go all out and regard this game as a "rehearsal" for the Women's World Cup group stage.

　　For the women's football girls who are facing difficulties, whether they can win the game is not important. The most important thing is to use the game to understand their opponents, improve themselves, and lay a good foundation for this year's heavy game tasks.
