Preparing for this crucial matchup.
The goal of our women's soccer team's trip to South Korea is clear, which is to strive for victory and lay the foundation for entering the final stage of the Olympic Games. At the same time, to ensure that the life and health of the whole team has also become an important task of the visit. It is reported that, in order to ensure that the epidemic prevention work during the visit, the CFA in addition to the organization of the team leader Zheng Chaoyong, the Association's Foreign Affairs Department Minister Luo Zhao were responsible for the team's daily life in South Korea during the training and foreign affairs work, but also specially dispatched a wealth of Super League tournament epidemic prevention experience Qi Jun as the team's epidemic prevention officer for the visit.
The AFC has confirmed that the two-legged matches between China and South Korea women's football teams in the Asian Zone play-offs for the Tokyo Olympic qualifiers will be played on April 8 and 13 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea and the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium in China. According to the plan, China's women's soccer team left for South Korea on April 5 to prepare for the first round of the away games.
China's women's soccer team left their resident hotel in Suzhou at noon on April 5, then traveled to Shanghai Pudong International Airport and took a flight to Seoul, South Korea, at just after 4 p.m. Affected by the epidemic, the two rounds of the Chinese and Korean women's soccer matches were pushed back again and again from the original schedule in March last year. Until late February this year, the AFC finalized the competition will be held on April 8, 13, respectively, in South Korea, China. The competition can not be carried out without the active communication and cooperation of the Chinese and Korean Football Associations, the relevant departments of the two governments and the AFC.
In order to ensure that the women's soccer teams of China and South Korea can prepare for the competition according to the latest schedule, an important condition is that the two teams in the two countries during the competition must ensure that the epidemic prevention work is foolproof. It is reported that China's women's soccer team arrived in Seoul at 6:00 p.m. local time on the 5th, will be escorted to the quarantine address by car. After confirming the health of all members on the following day, our women's soccer team will then go to the competition area and enter the hotel. The team will then live, train and compete in accordance with the quarantine requirements of the tournament area. In other words, from the time our team arrives in South Korea to the time they leave the country, the entire activity will be in a "closed chain of epidemic prevention".
In order to help China's women's football team to do a good job in all the preparations for the competition in South Korea, the CFA, in addition to the organization of the team leader Zheng Chaoyong, the Association's Foreign Affairs Department Minister Luo Zhao accompanied the trip, but also specially dispatched to the competition with a wealth of experience in epidemic prevention Qi Jun as the team's epidemic prevention officer. Last year, Qi Jun was sent by the CFA to the Chinese Super League as the head of the epidemic prevention team. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea has reported more than 100,000 new cases of the disease, and recently there have been more than 500 new cases in a single day for many consecutive days. From this, it is not difficult to understand the CFA organization Qi Jun with the team's behavior.
On the basis of doing a good job of epidemic prevention and protecting the health and safety of the whole team, the CFA also encourages China's women's soccer team to do their best to play well in this Olympic Qualifying Tournament. Chen Xuyuan, the president of CFA, specially rushed to Suzhou to visit the team before the team's trip, and sent care and encouragement. "Advancing to the final stage of the Tokyo Olympics" is by no means an empty slogan, but a goal for which all members of our women's soccer team are united.
It is in order to help China's women's football team to do a good job of pre-tournament preparations for the sprint work, the Chinese Football Association in the perfect training conditions, epidemic prevention, information and intelligence gathering and other aspects of the team to give maximum support. It is understood that the coaching team had a very clear understanding of the technical and tactical characteristics of the Korean team before they left for Korea. The team has also learned that a referee from Australia will be the referee to enforce the first round of the competition between China and South Korea women's soccer on the 8th. The second round match in Suzhou will be officiated by a referee from Japan. While the CFA has organized a course on refereeing rules and regulations for the men's national football team, it has actually launched the same training for the women's football team.
