Passing on the Essence of the Art of War, Meeting the New Challenges of the Asian Games
Like the tenacity of women's soccer internationals, Shui Qingxia did not slack off after the Asian Cup came to an end, and she quickly plunged into the tournament to observe the Women's Soccer National Championship, Women's Premier League and other exciting events, and meticulously examine the players. Data show that the National Championship attracted more than 200 post-00 players to enroll, including many eye-catching performance of the new star. For the future stars of China's women's soccer team, Shui Qingxia is full of expectations: "Our '97, 98 age group' talent breaks down, and now the '03, 04 age group' players have emerged in the tournament. Of course, they still need to sharpen their skills, confrontation and soccer understanding in the tournament."
The skillful use of skills in confrontation is the focus of Shui Qingxia, who teaches her team to play passing and receiving, footwork, and, on a deeper level, how to use intelligence to play soccer. "Soccer is about action through decision-making, and how to use skills wisely in confrontation is crucial." So says Shui Qingxia.
According to the established plan, the women's national team will regroup after the second phase of the Women's Super League tournament in May to prepare for the Asian Games. After successfully winning the Asian Cup, this year's Hangzhou Asian Games will be a new challenge for the team. Shui Qingxia said that the outside world has higher expectations of the team, but the team itself should not be too much pressure, "sure the advantages of the team, continue to carry forward; see the team's shortcomings, and strive to improve."
Life is about solving problems and overcoming obstacles, and so is soccer. Shui Qingxia is fully prepared. "It's normal for problems to arise because other teams are also improving and these are all part of soccer. We will continue to strengthen the confrontation, deal with the rhythm of offense and defense, simplify complicated things and return to the essence of soccer." She said.
"This one needs (to) use some little brains." Shui Qingxia on the other end of the phone reveals wit in her laugh.
