On the afternoon of July 10, the women national team released a 22-player Olympic participation list. Among them, Tang Jiali, Ma Jun, Lou Jiahui, etc., triggered the outside world on the list of all kinds of speculation. This list is based on what principle? Head coach Jia Xiuquan in the players on the use of what standards? Let us unravel the mystery.
For Tang Jiali's fall, the national team doctor gave a professional explanation: “Tang Jiali accidentally injured in training, the examination was diagnosed as ‘knee left knee synovitis, left knee medial collateral ligament and patellar ligament injury’, the doctor recommended rest, avoid strenuous exercise. ” This note also forced Jia Xiuquan to remove Tang Jiali's name from the list.
Jia Xiuquan has been in charge of the women's national soccer team since May 23, 2018, more than three years. During this period, he has led the women's soccer team to the Asian Games in Indonesia, the World Cup in France, the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Tokyo, and now to the main stage of the Olympic Games. Looking back at the final list Jia Xiuquan released for each tournament, it's easy to see that the list has been adjusted to varying degrees. His understanding of the women's soccer team is also from shallow to deep, from remodeling to remodeling, gradually integrating his own philosophy of leadership and style of employment into this team.
From the start of the team formation for the Asian Games in Jakarta, Indonesia, Jia Xiuquan has shown his principles of employment and decision-making. Before the World Cup started, he transferred Peng Shimeng into the main lineup, although the outside world has questioned, but Peng Shimeng finally with excellent performance proved Jia Xiuquan's vision of using people.
In addition to Peng Shimeng, there was also young player Li Qingtong who was replaced at a crucial moment in the Olympic preliminaries. She dared to take the ball, disk and breakthrough, in the key competition to show the big general style, won the outside world unanimous recognition, but also for her to enter the Tokyo Olympic Games list laid a good foundation.
Chen Qiaozhu, a young player who made the final cut at the last minute, hitched a ride to Tokyo thanks to her outstanding play in training, relentless running and superb tactical execution.
Reviewing the list before the Women's World Cup, we found that many veterans have faded out of the national team, such as Gu Yasha, Han Peng, Bi Xiaoling, Li Jiayue and so on. The World Cup list has changed even more compared to the list in the first round of the Olympic qualifying playoffs. World Cup 23-man list, only 8 people with the first round of the additional round of the list overlap, the rest have been changed; additional round of the first round of the Olympic Games to the main round of the 22-man list, and then removed five players.
The biggest change in the Olympic regular season roster compared to the qualifying stage roster is in the midfield. Ma Jun, Yao Lingwei, Yao Wei, Shen Mengyu did not enter the Olympic list, Miao Siwen, Yang Lina and Liu Jing, Wang Yan finally elected. Wang Yan was the main back of the World Cup, once fell out of the Olympic qualifiers, and is now back again; and Yang Lina also played the role of the Asian Games finalist with zero previous entries.
from these players in and out can be seen, Jia Xiuquan in the selection of people, is based on the different conditions of each player at each stage to make decisions. Due to the condition of the women's soccer players are ups and downs, who is in good condition who can be elected in the time period, similarly, not elected players does not mean that she is not strong enough or other reasons, can only say that, in the stage of the condition of the better players instead of her.
Some people say, Jia Xiuquan in the playing period itself is young and famous, in the Jianye team coaching is also good at selecting, use of young players and known. In addition, after he mastered the women's soccer team, many old players faded out of the main lineup of the national team, and some people inferred that Jia Xiuquan was born with a bias against the old players.
In fact, Jia Xiuquan's transformation of the women's national team in terms of age structure is inseparable from his understanding of the talent reserve situation and the characteristics of each member of the team.
Preparing for the Women's World Cup in France in June 2019 did not leave Jia Xiuquan with enough time, so he favored veterans with tournament experience when employing players. After the World Cup, he found that the players in the World Cup performance, as well as further examination of the league, found that the strength of the women's football players gap is more reflected in the experience of the competition, the young players are still mainly the number of competitions to play a small number of technical and tactical qualities of the gap is not insurmountable.
Jia Xiuquan also found that there is a significant difference between male and female soccer players, that is, the condition of female soccer players fluctuations than male soccer players to be obvious. In this regard, he has said: “I do not exist to any age group of players favoritism, who are from the young players through, who also have the day of aging. A team, different age groups of players play different effects, young players are the force, the old players also need. Any reasonable force structure, must be to the middle generation, young players and old players as a supplement. However, the old players are not to look at the physical age in the affirmative sense, everything still depends on the condition, look at the strength, look at the effect.”
Now the team, Wu Haiyan, Wang Shanshan, Wang Frost and so on are actually in a sense, also counted as veteran players, they all have rich experience in the competition. Jia Xiuquan emphasized that there is no difference between the first and second captains, they are all captains. These four people have a common characteristic, is a strong character, the more frustrated the more courageous.
As for the competition experience, qualification, that all have to be put behind this and then compared, because the competition experience and personal qualification, instead of the field of high-intensity running, only tough, courageous, not afraid of the strong enemy's style, is the foundation of the Chinese women's soccer team rise again.
Several of the young players selected this time, such as Uri Gumura, were noticed by Jia Xiuquan from shortly after he took over the women's soccer team. But at that time he thought that recruiting her into the national team is not enough to fire, after all, the national team is not to give young players gold-plated place, nor is it a practice field for young players, the national team is to give the young people who can really fight to prove themselves on the stage.
