As of August 17, the Women's World Cup has come to an end, according to Sohu Sports. China's women's soccer team in the group stage of the tournament achieved 1 win and 2 losses, ranked third, no chance to advance, creating the worst record in history. After the match, two national team players made comments one after another, implicitly questioning the national team's selection criteria, once again pushing the Chinese women's soccer team into the controversy and public opinion.
In a social media post on August 16, Zhao Yujie, a women's soccer player who stayed abroad, showed the weight of many of the world's women's soccer players, claiming that these players would not be up to the standards of our national team and would be the first to be eliminated from the tournament. These are the superstars of this year's World Cup women's soccer team and many of them weigh a lot. The implication is that, apparently, the criteria for selecting players for the Chinese women's soccer team seems to be related to weight, and players who are too heavy don't work. That's why she says these people will be eliminated in the first round. And by saying such things now, Zhao Yujie is undoubtedly openly questioning the selection system of the women's soccer team.
On August 3, women's international soccer player Xiao Yuyi posted a document on social media, I will be following the bright moon. As the champion of the Women's Asia Cup, Xiao Yuyi did not appear in the current Women's World Cup record. After the women's soccer team was eliminated, some people questioned why head coach Shui Qingxia didn't use players such as Tang Jiali and Xiao Yuyi, who performed well in the Asian Cup. Later, according to Soccer Daily, Xiao Yuyi was discarded because China's overall tactics in this World Cup were mainly defensive, while Xiao Yuyi's attributes were more inclined to offense and had some problems in defense.
On social media, Xiao Yuyi's voice exposed the internal problems of the Chinese women's soccer team. Everyone knows what my next words to Mingyue were. It almost completely publicized the conflict between me and my coach, which is rare in the history of Chinese women's soccer.
On August 8, a week after the women's soccer team's exit from the World Cup, Tianjin media outlet Daily News revealed that a player who stayed abroad refused to warm up during the World Cup, and that his emotions were severely antagonistic to the coaching staff. The player had reportedly stayed abroad but was abandoned at this World Cup. Feeling neglected by the coaching staff, she was so emotionally drained that she had a negative attitude and even refused to warm up for the game. Not only that, but the woman soccer player's emotions were severely antagonistic to the coaching staff.
After China's women's soccer team ended its Women's Soccer World Cup tour with the worst result in history, the internal problems of the women's soccer team were gradually revealed. Faced with so many problems, we cannot help but ask: what happened to the Chinese women's soccer team? In summarizing the reasons for China's Women's Soccer World Cup failure, we talked about physical fitness, technical and tactical levels, and developmental ecology, but looking back now, shouldn't we summarize our own problems? Were we focused enough? Were we united?
China's women's soccer team is running out of time to solve its problems as qualifiers for the Asian Games and Olympics are about to begin.
