Recently, the Chinese women's soccer team's overseas campaign has become a hot topic among fans, and the trigger for this phenomenon is undoubtedly their outstanding performance in world-class tournaments. However, there is still a big gap between the performance of the Chinese team and that of the strongest European teams. Especially in the match with England women's soccer team, the Chinese team even lost by 6 goals, the gap is shocking. A small loss would have been acceptable, but such a huge difference in score definitely made the coaching team and players realize that the team needs to be improved in all aspects. This not only requires the coaching team to make a breakthrough in tactical layout and clinical command, but also requires the players to significantly improve their own abilities.
After two years of overseas sharpening, the international players have made remarkable achievements on their way to study abroad, with leaps and bounds in technical and individual abilities, but the gap with their opponents also reveals that pure hard work is not enough to make up for it. This requires both the relentless struggle of players studying abroad and the rapid follow-up of young domestic players. With the opening of the new Euroleague season, the sisters Shen Menglu and Shen Mengyu of Scotland's top club Celtic Women's Football have become the center of attention. They not only firmly occupy the main position, but also show amazing strength in the game. Shen Menglu delivered a key assist in the first round, while Shen Mengyu scored a goal in the second round, the sisters' growth pace is amazingly consistent.
According to the fixtures of the Scottish Premier League Women's Football League, Celtic Women's Football Team will face Spartans Women's Football Team in the third round, and Celtic Women's Football Team is leading the table with two consecutive victories. In the past two seasons, they had four consecutive victories and scored 12 goals and conceded only one, so their strength is evident. However, this time, there were various uncertainties to be considered in the away match. Celtic Ladies did not take it lightly and had a full starting lineup to deal with it. The 21-year-old starlet Shen Menglu, who had a successful debut, continued to start.
At the beginning of the match, Celtic Women's Soccer adopted a defensive counter-attacking tactic and had a clear advantage in possession of the ball in the midfield, with a possession rate of more than 60%. The Spartans women's soccer team, on the other hand, held their ground, defended solidly and waited for the opportunity to counterattack. However, only 6 minutes into the game, the Spartans' goal was broken up by a breakaway by Shen Monroe. Although Spartans tried to fight back, the lack of effective means on the offensive end made it difficult to pose a substantial threat to Celtic. Craig extended the lead again in the 27th minute to give Celtic Ladies a 2-0 lead at the end of the first half.
The Celtic women's soccer team continued to dominate possession of the ball as the game resumed. Gallagher scored in the 49th and 63rd minutes to extend the lead to 3-0. Shen Menglu completed the assist and Shen Mengyu came on as a substitute at the back. Hayes and Goldie then scored in the 87th and 88th minutes, respectively. In the end, Celtic Women's soccer team won 5-0 on the road. In the first three rounds of matches, they scored a total of 21 goals and conceded only one, becoming the most powerful attacking team in the SU Women's Football League and continuing to lead the table.
