On the night of October 13th, a highlight match of the first round of the group stage of the U17 Women's World Cup was staged on October 12th, Beijing time. In this tense duel, China's U17 Women's Soccer Team defeated Mexico Women's Soccer Team with a score of 2-1, and achieved the opening red. Media personality Chen Dingrui reported the match in detail.
In this crucial battle, Liu Chen, the goalkeeper of China's U17 women's soccer team, had a superb performance, and her many key saves saved the team's victory. Chen Dingrui spoke highly of Liu Chen, recalling his interview with the U17 women's soccer team in Kunming at the beginning of the year, when they still didn't know whether they could qualify for the U17 World Cup. At that time, Liu Chen had just recovered from injury and was in a critical period of conditioning. He revealed that Liu Chen was very frustrated while recovering from her injury, but it was the support of her teammates and coaches that helped her pull through.
Liu Chen's idol was a Chelsea goalkeeper named Mendy, and the Senegalese's inspirational story was a great source of encouragement for Liu Chen. Liu Chen, herself, was briefly seconded to train for a winter program - although she didn't like skiing, she stuck it out and continued to focus on soccer training.
