Women's Premier League battle rages on as end-of-season showdown looms
On November 14th, the third stage of this year's China Women's Super League was in full swing at the Hai Ridge Base in Kunming. Compared with the men's Super League, which started in early December, the Women's Super League has been smooth throughout, with the top five teams in the championship and relegation groups ready to go, and on November 30th, the champion of this season's Women's Super League will be finalized.
Shanghai Agricultural and Commercial Bank (SACB) relied on Ma Yingshuang's two first-half goals to beat Guangdong Meizhou Hakka 2-0 in the first round of the 14th Champions League. Changchun Volkswagen Land, on the other hand, defeated Jiangsu Women's Football Team with Raphael scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes.
Shanghai Agricultural and Commercial Bank head coach Shui Qingxia's team is not to be underestimated, and the Zambian striker Banda, who has hit China's women's soccer team hard at the Tokyo Olympics, also plays for Shanghai. on Nov. 16, Shanghai's women's soccer team will face last season's champion Wuhan Women's Soccer Team, who missed out on the first round, in a heavyweight duel that will have a major impact on the championship of the Women's Super League this year.
If Shui Qingxia can lead two different teams to national championships within a year, the spotlight will be on the best candidate for "China's women's soccer head coach".
A month has passed since the bidding process for the head coach of the Chinese women's soccer team, and the Football Association has yet to announce the results.
A total of six coaches applied for the competition, five of whom met the entry requirements: Zhang Haitao, the coach who had led the Chinese women's soccer team to the 2004 Athens Olympics; Wang Jun, the head coach of the U19 National Youth Women's Soccer Team; Chen Wanting, who had coached the U16 National Women's Soccer Team; Liu Huana, the head coach of the Shaanxi Women's Soccer Team; and Zhao Junzhe, the leader of the Chinese Super League's Guangzhou City Saloon.
According to the reporter's understanding, had led the "Olympic United Team" won the national championship of water Qingxia did not sign up to participate in the competition, the reason is that she does not recognize the procedures of the competition.
Although the league is coming to an end, the Chinese women's soccer team needs to determine the candidate for the head coach as soon as possible, and at the same time, finalize the list of players for the national team training. Insiders revealed that in mid-December at the latest, the women's soccer team will have to regroup and start a new period of preparation.
The Women's Asian Cup will be held from January 20 to February 6, 2022 in India.
Half a month ago, the AFC conducted a group draw, and the Chinese women's soccer team was in Group A with the Indian women's soccer team, the Chinese Taipei women's soccer team and the Iranian women's soccer team.
A total of 12 teams participated in this Asian Cup, with Japan Women's Football, Australia Women's Football and hosts India Women's Football as the first tier teams, and China Women's Football as the second tier teams along with South Korea and Thailand.
Analyzing the schedule, China's women's soccer team will not have any problem to get out of the group.
Difficulty lies only in the group after the knockout stage - although the Asian Cup and "2023 Women's World Cup" Asian qualifiers, but the results of the Chinese women's soccer team will not be limited to "World Cup line! "After all, the Asian top 8 for the Chinese women's soccer team is only the "bottom line".
The 2023 Women's World Cup, which will be held in both Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20, is the first post-expansion edition of the tournament and features 32 teams in the final round, with the AFC holding six direct places and two play-off spots.
This means that the Chinese women's football team in next year's Asian Cup rankings on the top 6 can complete the "through", the new women's football manager has enough space to build a more practical ability of the national team.
However, India can hold the Asian Cup on schedule there are still variables. Recently, India's new single-day new crown pneumonia cases are about 10,000 cases, once the new crown pneumonia epidemic is so serious that the competition can not be held safely on schedule, the Women's World Cup Asian qualifiers may be adopted directly to the "rankings to confirm the team" way to eliminate the risk of the teams to run around, which is also the majority of the team is willing to accept the This is also a "reasonable result" that most teams are willing to accept.
The Asian women's football movement once again "focus on display", will have to wait until next year's Asian Games in Hangzhou in September - this is also China's women's football does not seem to be in a hurry to "select a coach" and confirm the use of local coaches to coach the women's national team is an important consideration. Local coaches to coach the women's national team is an important consideration.
