This is the first official game for the “Clanging Roses” in more than a year, what kind of test have they gone through and what are the new changes?
Women's soccermystified
Zhao Liangchen (hereinafter referred to as Zhao): Challenging South Korea on the road is a tough battle for any sport. It is not easy for our women's soccer team to achieve such a successful victory.
Women's soccergirls celebrate goal
Su Nympho (hereinafter referred to as Su):It can be seen that, over the past year, our team has been quite well prepared. From the physical point of view, our team is better than the Korean team, which also laid the foundation for the implementation of high-pressure pressing tactics. From the point of view of our team's positional ball performance, each time can play a different tactical cooperation, visible weekday drills many times, the coaching staff designed a multitude of plans.
Zhao: this women the process of preparing for the war, give me the feeling is a bit “mysterious”.
Su: Indeed, in the past, every period of women's football closed training is almost over, there will be a media open day, the head coach, the players came out to accept brief interviews, so that the outside world to understand the women's football latest developments. gt;s latest developments. But since the group stage of the Olympic Games, women only engaged in an open day, but also dating back to May last year. Not to mention the fans do not know women in what to do, even the media will ask each other: “now women what happened?” But neither can find the answer.
Zhao: The list of travelers is also very “mysterious”, from the end of last year to the Olympic preliminaries before the play-offs, women's footballA total of five training, only at the end of the year released A training list. Even when traveling to South Korea, the outside world has not been able to figure out what is in our team, not to mention the opponents, even our own media and fans do not have a quasi-count, haha!
Su: sporadic exposure of a few departure photos, can only see Wang Frost, Wu Haiyan and a few other iron main force. After arriving in South Korea, the official public released a group photo, later proved to be a “smoke bomb”, because it can also be found in Li Ying - but the former national team star in the national team training period, has appeared in the national championships, with the team to go! The likelihood of that is slim to none. Eventually our womens participation in the list, or wait until the day before the game after the press conference before the release of the confidentiality of the work done in place, but also in the past is not common.
Jia Shuai play “specialties”
Zhao: This should be the arrangement of the head coach Jia Xiuquan. Some people may feel that he is making a big deal out of it, and others are worried that it will add psychological pressure to their own players. However, I think that we should not be suspicious of the people we employ, since we have chosen Jia as the head coach, we should give him full trust and authority. Moreover, his methodology can not be cut into a single maneuver to see, I think it is into a systematic ......
Jia Xiuquan
Su: from this “mystery” can also feel the pressure of Jia Xiuquan. After all, in 2018 after taking office as Chinas women's soccers head coach, there are two missions that Jia Xiuquan must lead Chinas women's soccers completion. One is the 2019 women World Cup , into the top sixteen is the minimum standard, two years ago, Jia Xiuquan led the team to realize; group stage final battle 0-0 draw Spain that decisive game after the end of the match, he was in tears, and then asked to disclose that this is the third time in his career tears. The second mission is to lead our countrywomento get the Olympic ticket.
Zhao: three major balls, China's women's volleyball team, China's women's basketball team have been successively get this ticket, the past has created a brilliant China women's football if you can not get how to do? This possibility is the bone very confident Jia Xiuquan is not willing to face.
Su: Fortunately, our women the results of the trip to South Korea is good, and from the process of the game, our team did not because of psychological fluctuations in the mistakes, even if it was quickly equalized by the South Korean team, the team also resisted the pressure, no The team has not made any mistakes due to mental fluctuation. It is understood that over the past year our team in addition to hard physical training, but also organized a psychological class, referee class, specifically for away games and set. Zhao: feel that this tournament, just so Jia guide's characteristics and advantages can be maximized. Jia guide especially like closed training, now the global epidemic of the environment, “just” let women practice way into a “single choice”; Jia guide is not particularly advocate players to stay in the ocean, this problem is no longer exist; Jia guide is not particularly advocate players to stay in the ocean, this problem is no longer exist. Now also no longer exists; Jia guide is good at everything in detail to do all the preparations, which is now women's soccer the most need.
Su: There is a detail that can reflect the meticulousness of our team's preparations - the team went out on the day, the coaching staff early in the morning also organized a training class, training after taking a packed breakfast to the airport, is afraid of to the South Korea, there are twists and turns, can not complete the day's training volume according to plan, and then really in Incheon customs clearance delayed a lot of time, the away training time also had to be shortened. When all the difficulties are thought in front, our country women's soccer face all the emergencies will be able to calmly deal with.
goal scorers are not easy to each Zhao: this time for our team to score two, is also worth talking about. The first record of Zhang Xin, is the only one in the team “mother player”. 2017 National Games, she chose to retire, return to family life, but in 2019 the child just weaned not long, she embarked on the road back. In the group stage of the previous year's Olympic qualifiers, she broke through in the opening game to help her team advance to second place in the group; now she's making her debut. She said she hopes her children will see her on TV as she campaigns for the Olympics.
Zhang Xin opened the scoring in the game
Su: The other goal scorer was Wang Frost, who also had a tough time. In the past two years, she has experienced the setbacks of staying in the ocean, being publicly criticized by Jia Xiuquan, and last year was trapped in Wuhan unable to participate in the group stage of the Olympic qualifying tournament because of the epidemic. But now she has been reintegrated into the team and is a strong link in the right side of the attack. The penalty was taken from a difficult angle and with the score leveled, which showed her determination and form.
Zhao: The second round will be held on the 13th of this month in our women home field Suzhou, a one-goal lead on the road, said small, said large is not small, South Korea women will certainly be counterattack with full force.
Su: This time there is no need to travel, no cumbersome entry procedures, I believe that our country women be able to lock up an Olympic ticket. However, the South Korean team is good at playing behind the scenes, this point is worth being vigilant.
Zhao: I remember before the game “leaked” out of the few womentraining field conditions, the field side of the red boards written on the gold four big words -- “Destroy the enemy”. Good lord, it's written 12 times on all four sides of the field. I looked it up, the word comes from “Ziji Tongjian - Tang Ji - Tang Ji XIV”. Destroy the firmament, have to fight a hard battle of the gas; Ke enemy, have the backwater of the spirit of the battle.
Su: All those who have seen the first round of the game, I believe that there will be no doubt about this women's football the essence of the spirit. Their technical and tactical ability may not be the first-class now, but the fighting spirit and enough preparation, enough to let them continue to stand in the women international strong team of the forest.
