No miracles. Although the Chinese women's soccer team beat Vietnam 6-1 in their final U20 Asian Cup Group B group match, they still regretted to finish third in the group, thus losing their qualification for the World Youth Championship. This is the second consecutive time that China's women's soccer team missed the World Youth Championship. The current direction of women's soccer in the world is masculine, and the Chinese women's soccer team is no exception. It is becoming more and more like the Chinese men's soccer team. In Asia, it is an indisputable fact that the Chinese women's soccer team has fallen from the world's first class back then to the second class in Asia.
In the first two rounds of the tournament, the Chinese U20 women's soccer team achieved a draw and a loss, defeating North Korea 1-1 and Japan 0-2, and is currently ranked third in the group, with Vietnam losing two consecutive matches in advance. In this match, it will be difficult for the Chinese women's soccer team to advance. First, we had to make sure that we won by more than eight Vietnamese goals on net, and we had to make sure that the DPRK women's soccer team lost to Japan. Unfortunately, neither of these conditions materialized. North Korea beat Japan 1-0. The Chinese women's soccer team only won the match by a score of 6-1. In the end, the Chinese women's soccer team finished third in the group with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, while Japan and North Korea advanced hand in hand.
It is worth mentioning that the last Asian Cup Chinese women's soccer team failed to advance in the same group with Japan and South Korea, which is enough to show that, just like the Chinese men's soccer team in previous years, it is difficult for the Chinese women's soccer team to get a cheap shot in the face of Japan, South Korea and even North Korea. Even if this game and Vietnam won, from the field, there is a lack of teamwork with more than a few people, and more on individual physical advantages to break through. This style of play is almost always cannon fodder before Japan, South Korea and even European and American powerhouses. And Vietnam has only scored one goal in this Asian Cup, which was achieved against China. Three games lost.
From last year's Chinese women's soccer team lost to the World Cup, Olympic preliminaries, Asian Games, to two consecutive youth women's soccer team did not have access to the World Youth Championships, China's women's soccer team's overall decline is no less than the speed of China's men's soccer team. There is a paucity of domestic youth training talents, complacency of national coaches at all levels, lack of high-level tournaments for national team players to exercise the stage, unattended domestic women's soccer, and worrying quality of matches. The development of Chinese women's soccer is facing unprecedented difficulties and challenges. We are not frustrated. This is the worst women's soccer team in China in the past decade. We are worried that this will be the best Chinese women's soccer in the next decade.
