The biggest crisis and problem for the Chinese women's soccer team to win the Asian Games right now is the untidy squad, simply because the Asian Games are not held in the FIFA international tournament cycle, but in a non-international tournament cycle. FIFA has this rule that if this is a non-international competition cycle, his club has the right to refuse to release a player if he goes abroad.
For example, some people work in the big five leagues. There are top clubs in the Premier League or La Liga. People can't get you back. You're not even in the international playing cycle. Clubs don't have to work with you to get you to leave. It is for this reason that China's women's soccer team may be missing its main players because, on the one hand, the Women's Super League will be held on September 10th and the Asian Games will be held from September 22nd to October 6th. There is very little time left for the Chinese women's soccer team to train.
There is also the issue that a number of women's soccer superstars, including Zhang Linyan, are seeking overseas opportunities this cycle. If they do choose to play abroad, then clubs may not release them. The women's soccer matches at the Hangzhou Asian Games from the group stage all the way through to the final are not on international match days, so trying to summon Shui Qingxia back to her home country will be very difficult. What if we call up these players but the clubs insist on not releasing them? So we are likely to face problems in recruiting personnel and may not be able to form the strongest squad for the Asian meet. It will be even more difficult to win the championship in this situation.
