On August 5, the Chinese women's soccer team faced the challenge of England, and finally returned with a score of 1-6, and missed the World Cup final round. In this regard, Li Xuan, a columnist of Soccer Daily, expressed her opinion that, compared to the coach, the players of the Chinese women's soccer team showed a stronger individual will.
Review of the original article by Li Xuan:
In our country, the overall strength of women soccer players seems to surpass that of women soccer coaches.
After a loss, coaches are often in a more difficult situation, not only do they have to bear the blame from thousands of spectators, but also have to deal with all kinds of criticism. Questions such as "Why did you choose XXX instead of YYY?" come one after another, and coaching turnover also becomes the center of attention. Although there is a scarcity of good women's soccer coaches, the influence of men's soccer has undoubtedly made a difference in women's soccer.
However, female soccer players enjoy different treatment. Whether they win or lose, they tend to get more support and care. Even if they lose control of their emotions after a match, they are tolerated and understood by most people. In addition, they do not need to worry about losing their place in the national team due to poor performance. The reason behind this may be that there are not many truly outstanding players.
