The Chinese women's national soccer team is in the United States preparing for a friendly match against the U.S. women's soccer team. Meanwhile, in the distant White Heron Stadium in Fujian, China's U20 Women's National Youth Football Team is preparing to face Australia's U20 Youth Football Team in a youthful match.
Wang Jun, the dual coach, is not only at the helm of the Chinese women's U20 national youth team, but also temporarily acting as the coach of the women's national team. Today, he will personally sit on the conductor's stand to witness the friendly match between the Chinese women's soccer team and the U.S. women's soccer team. Let's wait and see how the new coach will conduct the game.
Although Wang Jun has not been coaching on behalf of the national team for long, the big battle between the Chinese women's soccer team will undoubtedly be a test of his ability to read the game and adjust the lineup.
The Chinese Women's National Youth Football Team, coached by Wang Jun for a long time, will also compete with the Australian National Youth Football Team today. In this match, we can not only see the technical and tactical level of the team, but also feel the tacit understanding of the team. Wang Jun's coaching level will be reflected in the game. It is worth mentioning that since Wang Jun is in the United States, his assistant coach will be responsible for the on-site command of the national youth team.
However, an accident left Wang Jun with an unprecedented challenge. One of his mistakes left the Chinese women's national youth and national teams with the shadow of losing on the eve of the tournament. Wang Jun even recruited six core national youth players into the national team, resulting in both teams being unable to field their strongest lineups.
Main striker Huo Yuexin, winger Wang Aifang and captain Wang Siqian all went to the United States with the national team, facing the challenge of Australia Women's Football U20, the National Youth Football Team can only use the remnants of the lineup to face the battle. If the six main players had not moved, the national youth team would have been expected to win easily. Although the Australian women's U20 soccer team is ranked high in Asia, there is still a gap between its strength and that of the Japanese and North Korean women's youth soccer teams.
Wang Jun adjusted the national team lineup to not be the strongest in order to get high intensity games for the country's young and light players. In order to make way for young players, many veterans failed to make the cut. Even though Yang Lina and Wu Chengshu were unable to train due to injuries, Wang Jun still added the young Shen Menglu, who is only 21 years old and carries a new hope.
This Chinese women's soccer team is too young and lacks national team experience. In addition to the six national youths who were selected for the first time for the national team, young players such as Shen Menglu, Uri Gumura and Shen Mengyu also have limited national team experience. Young players are numerous, the overall confrontation ability is insufficient, and the strength is greatly reduced. Facing the powerful U.S. women's soccer team, they may face a crushing defeat.
In fact, Wang Jun's mistakes have dug a big hole for himself. The results of these two matches will be crucial to his ability to become the head coach of the Chinese women's soccer team. If the national youth team beats Australia and the national team can compete with the U.S. women's soccer team, Wang Jun will be recognized by the fans.
If he loses both games, fans will find it difficult to accept his coaching, and he may miss the chance to become a real coach of the Chinese women's soccer team.
