Chinese women's football team wins Asian Cup

 

 

In the Asian Cup final, the Chinese women's football team fell 2-0 at half time.

"At the halftime, first of all, I told them not to be discouraged. Anything can happen in such a game, and there are a little fierce words."

 

However, at the same time of psychological stimulation, the adjustment of skills and tactics is also the key. Whether it is the replacement of players or the adjustment of tactics, Shui Qingxia has received immediate miraculous effects and finally directed this magic reversal.

From the clouds of suspicion and scattered sand during the Tokyo Olympic Games to the unity and perseverance of the women's football team in the Asian Cup, as captain Wang Shanshan said, "this is a new start for the Chinese women's football team." Facts have proved that as long as you put your heart and soul into football and find the right direction, a team can really have a soul.

 

At the press conference after the game, Shui Qingxia said: "I feel very good (winning the championship). In particular, I saw the fighting spirit inspired by everyone when they were behind. I am very grateful to all the players. They beat themselves and their opponents under difficult circumstances." "I'm very happy to win the championship. It's my first time as a coach. At the same time, many players won the championship for the first time." Shui Qingxia said, "there are many differences between an athlete and a head coach. A coach needs to have a role model to better express his understanding of tactics to the players and inspire them."

Back in November last year, when Shui Qingxia took over the Chinese women's football team, the outside world was more worried about the prospect of this team in the Asian women's football cup. The disastrous loss of 17 goals in the three group matches in the Tokyo Olympic Games, the mystery of the Olympic list that puzzled the outside world when Jia Xiuquan led the team, and the recruitment farce in the process of changing the commander all show that the Chinese women's football team is not in a normal state.

 

But Shui Qingxia still stood up. She once expressed her desire to coach the National Women's football team with the surging news reporters, and described it as "the desire of a coach". However, in reality, there are not so many coaches who really love the women's football team, are willing to pay for it, and are not afraid of taking responsibility.

 

Shui Qingxia is the one who has the most confidence and courage to face difficulties. Therefore, she took over the "unconventional" task of leading the women's national team to play in the National Games and successfully won the championship. Meanwhile, she said directly: "I hope to be the head coach of the National Women's football team and lead the team to show on the world stage."

Therefore, after the rumor that the "internally determined" competition farce was difficult to end, she finally decided to take the handsome position after refusing to participate in the competition. Her mission is to lead this team back to the right track. This task is neither difficult nor difficult - the simple thing is that we only need to do the right thing; But the hard part is that we should firmly do the right thing.

 

Fortunately, for Shui Qingxia, a veteran from the old women's football era, it is not difficult to make a choice: recall the players with the best ability and state among the old, middle-aged and young generations, conduct low-key training and calm down. Then, accumulate and develop. In the face of this team that has just experienced the attack of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Shui Qingxia has never stopped psychological counseling for the players. At the beginning of the Asian Cup, facing the weak team in the same group, she said that she should "attach importance to every opponent". When the eight strong team met Vietnam, she said that "we should fully consider the difficulties".

 

In front of Japan and South Korea, the strong rivals in the semi-finals and finals, she began to talk more and more about the importance of confidence and the pursuit of the championship. Then the team made two brilliant reversals in a row, which did not disappoint the fans. The "numbness" of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the tenacity and unity of the Asian Cup, and the changes in the spirit of the women's football players are all seen by everyone.

 

"My teammates and I will certainly experience many ups and downs in the future, but we have shown the world how united we are, and we will continue to show the spirit of the Chinese women's football." This is Wang Shanshan, the captain of the women's football team and the best player in the Asian Cup. The energy and spirit described in a short sentence is also a perfect embodiment of the work achievements of Shui Qingxia.

 

An Asian Cup championship is very precious to the Chinese women's football team. It is the first championship of many players including Wang Shanshan, who returned to the top of Asia after 16 years. As for the head coach, it's the same, "this is my first time as a coach (national team) and it's also the first time for many players. I think it's good to fight with them.". Shui Qingxia said after the competition. As a player, Shui Qingxia has participated in the Asian Cup for five times and won the championship for five times. Now she has come to the position of head coach, and her Asian Cup championship road continues. She even maintains the magic record of not losing a game in the Asian Cup, whether as a player or a coach.

 

The difficulty can not be said in the same day - the strength of the Chinese women's football team dominated Asia in the Shui Qingxia era. However, the pattern of the women's football world is changing. The Chinese women's football team is no longer the world's strong team, nor is it the most popular champion in Asia. But Shui Qingxia has proved one point: a team can give play to its potential. The person sitting on the head coach's seat is very important. The reversal of South Korea in the final perfectly reflects the importance of on-site command.

 

 

In the first half of the game, Wang Shuang was injured. Wang Shanshan's tactical arrangement on the guard line obviously failed to work. Without hesitation, Shui Qingxia immediately changed her plan. In the middle of the game, she replaced Wang Shuang, who was not in good condition, to fill the defensive loopholes. Then she replaced Wang Shuang and let Wang Shanshan return to the front line. And every replacement and tactical adjustment played an important role. After the adjustment, the offensive of the Chinese women's football team was immediately improved.

 

Zhang Linyan, the substitute, first made a penalty kick and then made an assist. Xiao Yuyi, who was also replaced, scored a goal. Such technical and tactical capabilities are not acquired out of thin air. After her retirement, from assistant of the Shanghai team, assistant of the national youth team, to the head coach of the youth team and the head coach of the adult team of the Shanghai team, Shui Qingxia's teaching path can be described as a step by step, and her research into the coaching industry has long been recognized by the industry.

 

Learning, watching video research, actual combat and improvement... These are her daily life for decades. That is why she has no need to be afraid of the stage when she comes to the new stage of the national team manager. "When a player wins the championship, there are many differences between when a coach wins the championship. When an athlete has many skills and tactics, including psychological things, he may not pay much attention to them. However, after becoming a coach, he must first have a correct understanding of the skills and tactics and also express them to the team members." Shui Qingxia's interpretation after the competition was quite in place, and the journey of the Asian Cup was a textbook like display.

 

 

More scientific selection, more technical and tactical arrangements with women's football experience, and a more relaxed and United team atmosphere are indispensable for the rapid recovery of women's football. What Shui Qingxia brings is all these indispensable positive changes, and what she brings with her old women's football experience is the heart of the champion, which is hard to find in the Chinese women's football team for a long time.

 

In the mouth of the recent Chinese women's football coaches, people have repeatedly heard similar stresses - the strength of the Chinese women's football is not as strong as that of the past, and they should lower their positions to attack the opponents and learn from the world's strong teams In shuiqingxia's mouth, although it is also low-key and peaceful, it does not shrink. "The players have to build up their confidence and try their best to show their abilities. Even if we win the championship tomorrow, I don't think it is a great record.

" This is her speech before the final. Such a speech did not sound out of the blue in her mouth after the Asian Cup. After a brilliant reversal in the semi-final and a penalty kick against Japan, the players of the Chinese women's football team wanted to throw Shui Qingxia into the air to celebrate, and Shui Qingxia hurried away. She was once a champion and always wanted to win the championship. Her subconscious reaction made it easy for people to see the logic inside - she only won the semi-final, but her final goal has not been achieved. It's too early to celebrate the victory.

 

"I hope that the team members can fully open up their fight and do not have any baggage. When they have reached this level, they need to fight." Therefore, under the double adjustment of tactics and psychology, the team "came back from the dead" - the picture of Shui Qingxia being thrown into the air by the players was saved for the final. This is what Shui Qingxia wants, and she also wants to get more with the team.

 

"This championship is a gratifying thing for me and the whole team, and I also see the direction of future efforts. In terms of the psychology of the team members, including the refinement of technical tactics, we should also improve." "Of course, the road ahead can not be plain sailing, it may be smooth, and there may be many problems in the process. I think as long as the direction is correct, the expected results should not be too bad."

 

 

We look forward to the next "not too bad" result.
