In the second round of the Olympic women's soccer group stage, China's team faced Zambia, although Wang Frost showed amazing strength, scoring four goals in a row, but due to the team's back line loopholes, the final score of 4-4 draw with the opponent. After two rounds, our team only accumulated 1 point, the situation has become very serious.
Looking back at the first round of the group stage, our women's soccer team exposed a full range of gaps with their rivals in their confrontation with Brazil, and suffered a 0-5 defeat. Facing Zambia, a relatively weaker team in the group stage, our team must go all out to beat their opponents in order to keep a glimmer of hope of getting out of the group!
Although the ideal is plump, the reality is cruel. Wang Frost completed a hat-trick in just 23 minutes, helping our women's soccer team build a 3-1 lead at one point. However, the mistakes of the backline made Wang Frost's efforts go down the drain. Zambia's top striker, Banda, who had scored a hat-trick against the Netherlands in the first round, was capped again in this match, scoring two consecutive hat-tricks to give Zambia a 4-3 lead at one point.
Wang Frost's penalty kick goal allowed our team to equalize the score and rekindle the hope of winning. Towards the end of the game, Wang Frost had another chance to score a one-touch goal, but she unfortunately missed it. Nonetheless, we can't criticize Wang Frost, who gave it her all. A team needs not only stars, but also teamwork.
At present, our women's soccer team has achieved a draw and a loss in the first two rounds of matches, and the hope of getting out of the competition has become extremely slim. In the last round of matches, our women's soccer team must win against the Netherlands in order to get the right to go out of the tournament. However, this was an almost impossible task, as the Netherlands had beaten Zambia 10-3 in the first round. Our women's soccer team's Olympic journey seemed to have come to an end. (Ariel)
