A brilliant 4-0 record! In the recently concluded semifinals of the Women's Adult Division of the National Games, the Olympic Combined Team ushered in a third consecutive victory with an overwhelming win over Beijing. This wonderful victory not only advanced to the final, but also temporarily calmed the doubts about Shui Qingxia and her team's ability. After the tragic loss at the Olympics, former Chinese women's soccer player Shui Qingxia was appointed to replace Jia Xiuquan, and the tactical style of the women's soccer team has also seen a new change. However, in the first two games of the Games, the performance of our women's soccer team did not meet expectations, if you can make a name for yourself in the Games, the possibility of Shui Qingxia will be greatly increased. But even so, our women's soccer team still need to work hard to get rid of the current difficulties.
In the group stage, Olympic United defeated host Shaanxi Women's Soccer Team 1-0 before turning back Jiangsu 2-1 to advance to the semifinals. Beijing won two games in a row to reach the semifinals after losing their first game to Shandong. The Olympic Combined Team, which participated in the Games with our women's soccer team, did not show strong strength in the first two matches. In the match between the national team and the provincial team, the performance of the Olympic United team was slightly struggling, only with Wang Frost's individual ability to kill into the quarterfinals. In this game, the Olympic United starting lineup, Wang Frost and Wang Shanshan led the way, while the Beijing Women's Soccer Team rotated seven players in the starting lineup.
Unlike the slow start in the previous two games, Olympic Union got off to a fast start in this game. Just six minutes into the game, Yang Lina scored a header off a corner kick to give the United Olympic team a fantastic start. Then, Beijing's Lu Yuting gave away an oolong goal to give Olympic United a two-goal lead. In the second half, Wang Shuang attracted many defenders and assisted Zhang Xin to grab the goal. In the 83rd minute, Liu Jing took the ball in the center of the field and passed it diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, and Wang Yanwen surrounded the ball and pushed it to score. In the end, Olympic United beat Beijing 4-0 to advance to the final. Olympic United's opponent will be the winner of the match between hosts Shaanxi and Shanghai.
After successive losses in the Olympics, Shui Qingxia was appointed to take over Jia Xiuquan's coaching whip. As the main player of our women's soccer team that won the silver medal in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Shui Qingxia, now 55 years old, retired at the age of 35 in her personal career, which is known as the evergreen tree in the soccer world. Subsequently, she transformed into a coach, starting as an assistant coach of the Shanghai women's soccer team, served as the head coach of the women's national youth team, and then took charge of the first team of the Shanghai women's soccer team, with more than 20 years of coaching experience. Unlike Jia Xiuquan, who emphasized a manly style of play, Shui Qingxia adopted a team-building mindset centered on technology.
Shui Qingxia reused the technically delicate Shanghai women's soccer players and emphasized small-scale cooperation in the 30-meter area. She re-established Wang Frost's central position and became the starting point of the offense. Shui Qingxia also made moderate adjustments to the backline that was criticized during the Olympics, even directly abandoning Jia Xiuquan's beloved Chen Qiaozhu and activating starting goalkeeper Peng Simeng. However, in the first two games of the group stage of the Games, the lack of integration of the Olympic joint team did not fully play the level, but with the individual ability of Wang Frost managed to kill the quarter-finals.
In today's semifinal, the Olympic United team finally found their groove. Throughout the game, Olympic United firmly controlled the rhythm of the field, forming a pressure on the Beijing team. With the offensive tide, Olympic United finally scored four goals, and the players gradually regained their confidence under the leadership of Shui Qingxia. The goal scored by Wang Frost, who assisted Zhang Xin after escaping from multiple defenders in the midfield, showed the tactical coordination of the new women's soccer team. In addition, the team passed the ball quickly in the midfield, and the details of defense were also improved. The pressure in front of the field also makes the average strength of the back line more robust, so it can be said that Shui Qingxia has brought an all-round improvement to this women's soccer team.
Since Jia Xiuquan's dismissal, the seat of the head coach of China's women's soccer team has been hanging in the balance. According to previous media reports, the possibility of Shui Qingxia's transfer is very high. Of course, the prerequisite for the transfer is to win the National Games. If you can't do this, then the possibility of transferring to the right side no longer exists. Realistically speaking, the gold content of the National Games is not high, and the test of Shui Qingxia is not difficult. After all, it is not difficult to use the national team against the provincial team. If you can continue to play well in the final, water Qingxia turn will be water. If the performance in the final is still as struggling as the group stage, then even if the Games won the title, water Qingxia's transfer will be unconvincing.
Judging from this game, our women's soccer team's offense has improved significantly compared to the previous two games. Especially in the 30-meter area, no longer helpless, but able to play a small range of passing coordination, which is a fundamental difference from the Jia Xiuquan period of long pass hanging. From this point of view, Shui Qingxia for China's women's soccer team to regain the technical flow of the transformation has begun to bear fruit. However, it is undeniable that the current Chinese women's soccer team does not have any world-class players except Wang Frost. In order to revive the splendor of the clanging roses, we need to improve the level of all the players, so it is particularly important to stay in the ocean for further study. From this, we can see that only relying on a change of manager cannot completely solve the plight of the women's soccer team ...... (晴天恨海)
