In the East Asia Cup, although the Chinese women's soccer team showed strong fighting spirit against Japan and South Korea, its inner problems were not noticed by most people. The joy of victory in the match, which was drawn by both sides, masked the deficiencies behind the scenes. At that time, the Chinese women's soccer team was behind their opponents in terms of ball control, shots on goal and other key data, and this was not a coincidence. Compared to the Japanese and Korean women's soccer teams, the Chinese women's soccer team showed more toughness.
However, we cannot deny the strength of the Chinese women's soccer team. The honor of winning the Asian Cup at least proves that they have a certain strength base, although it may not be as strong as expected. The 1-5 loss against Davis Legacy may have been just a starting point for the U.S. training program. Coach Shui Qingxia has more than one "gender war" planned, and what the Chinese women's soccer team needs to do next is to learn from the defeat and try to turn the situation around in the next games.
