The Chinese women's soccer team did not reach the final of the Asian Games women's soccer team, but the tournament is not over yet. As required, we will next compete with Uzbekistan for the third and fourth places in the tournament. Given that it is not a competition for the title, the tournament is bound to be less attractive, but as the host, we should try our best to achieve better results under the limited conditions. Even if we are playing in the third or fourth place finals, the Chinese women's soccer team should strive for the title of third place, or at least maintain a minimum degree of the top three. Shui Qingxia's coaching position can also be solidified for the time being.
Despite the limited strength of the Uzbekistan women's soccer team, which is only ranked ninth in Asia, the Chinese women's soccer team cannot afford to take it lightly to avoid a ditch. In addition, the number of women's soccer teams was reduced before the third-place playoffs, with two study-abroad talents, Shen Mengyu and Zhang Linyan, both leaving the national team early and withdrawing from the third or fourth place. On the one hand, the duo had communicated with the management before leaving the team, and only left with their consent. On the other hand, Shui Qingxia coaching staff also assessed the strength of the opponent, the two teams met in the group stage, when it was a 6-goal victory, so it is still a sure thing.
Currently, Shen Mengyu has missed two rounds of the USSR Women's Premier League, with no guarantee of a major position, and is eager to return this time around, also hoping to catch the Celtic Women's Football Team against Motherwell Women's Football Team on October 8, in addition to the crucial battle with Glasgow City, which the coaching staff would like to see Shen return to the team to prepare for. And Zhang Linyan is reporting for duty at her new owners, English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
However, since this is a new franchise, the club must follow the process, which includes medical exams, welcome ceremonies, training and other sessions. They will only get a chance to appear if they are recognized by the coaching staff. According to the Premier League timetable, Tottenham will play Bristol Women's Football Team on October 8, time is running out, Zhang Linyan may be absent and will play in the third round at the earliest, and the outstanding performance in the Asian Games will help Zhang Linyan to integrate into the new club as soon as possible.
It should be noted that many fans believe that when it comes to Shen Mengyu, the Shui Qingxia coaching staff has given her too little time. Despite the fact that Shen Mengyu has proven herself in the Su Women's Super League, she has only been given 10 minutes of playing time. In fact, Shen Mengyu is Celtic's other Chinese national team player, and she has also had an outstanding performance in the league. However, the fact that she has not been given the chance to be called up shows that the Chinese women's soccer team needs to implement the imperative of replacing the old with the new.
