Two weeks after the Women's World Cup fiasco on August 17th in Beijing, the 1-6 in the final game is still fresh in our minds.
In this case, the three core players celebrated one after another after the Chinese women's soccer team went out of the tournament at that time, raising sharp questions about the deployment and employment of the Chinese women's soccer team. Now the World Cup is so long gone. Theoretically, the storm of the Chinese women's soccer team's exit has passed, and the new Women's Super League has begun. As a result, I didn't expect that there would still be people who were frantically blasting away, questioning the selection criteria of the women's soccer team, questioning Shui Qingxia's selection criteria.
With the Asian Games just around the corner, the fourth biggest overseas superstar points to Mercury Man, which is probably very detrimental to the unity and achievements of women's soccer. At 22:00 midnight, Zhao Yujie of the Chinese women's soccer team posted seven pictures on her personal social media showing the weight of many of the world's women's soccer superstars and wrote a meaningful sentence : "These players are not up to the standard in our national team, they will be part of the first elimination list and will be deleted soon."
All of these people she showed are superstars of women's soccer in this World Cup, and many of them are heavy. For example, England's Lauren James weighs 79 kilograms, Spain's Putras weighs 67 kilograms, America's Holland weighs 76 kilograms, and Sweden's Rolfe weighs 73 kilograms. The implication is that, apparently, the criteria for selecting players for the Chinese women's soccer team seems to be related to weight, and that they can't be too heavy. That's why she said these guys would be scratched in the first round, but when Lauren James played China, they scored two goals and finished with three assists.
These are the people who did exceptionally well in the World Cup, and by saying something like this now, Zhao Yujie is undoubtedly opening up about the women's soccer selection system. Maybe they have clear marking requirements for players' weight and fitness. These people can't make the national team, probably because they are too heavy. But looking around the world of soccer, I've never seen people selected based on weight rather than ability.
What's more, the comment section of the well-known Chinese football media "Northwestern Watchtower" pointed out: "Weight is only one aspect, but also depends on the body fat percentage, running ability and physical strength. The selection of the national team is a comprehensive consideration, not just weight. Xiao Zhao cheer." Seemingly whitewashing the women's national team, Zhao Yujie mercilessly provoked him: "Absolutely, and then you can get out of the group stage, right?" Another women's soccer superstar, Li Ying, also sent a message:Â "You know best. Go play."
A fan below responded to her: "Who made this request, the leader or the coach?" Zhao Yujie also answered him: "Same question." I also want to know the meaning of this. A fan was worried about her: "Aren't you afraid?" Zhao Yujie responded: "Players are also human. If you have thoughts, it's a normal need. The French women's soccer team can refuse to participate in the World Cup, the Spanish women's soccer team refused to enter the national team. The U.S. women's soccer team dared to sue the FA. So why can't she talk?"
Just blasted the women's soccer team's selection system is problematic. The following women's soccer players, Zhang Xin and Li Ying, were interacting with Zhao Yujie, saying, "You're such a talent. Do you want to mock me?" Zhao Yujie also had a meaningful conversation with them. Zhao Yujie is a very famous international student of the Chinese women's soccer team, and at the age of 24, she was playing for HBKE in the Danish league. As a midfielder, she scored four goals last season, but the international star could not be selected for the women's national team. Shui Qingxia didn't select her and Zhao Yujie showed her anger directly.
She's the equivalent of a hard women's soccer selection system with either questionable selection by the coach or questionable selection by the FA leadership above. But the question is if she does this now, will she make the national team later? She's the equivalent of breaking the mold and hoping her study abroad career gets better and better. But at the same time, I also hope she will have a chance to compete and play for her country in the future.
