In the press conference, she shared her insights: "The Korean team showed a high level of tactical aggression and aggressiveness in today's match, and we still have a lot of room for improvement. It is gratifying to see that despite being 0-1 down, all the players did not get discouraged and actively sought an equalizer, which is also a positive aspect for us. I hope the team can improve themselves through constant competition."
Shui Qingxia further pointed out, "In the first half, our opponents used their tactics quite well with a strong impact, and it took us a while to adapt. In this regard, we still need to strengthen."
In response to the reasons for the consecutive reversals of the opponents, Shui Qingxia said: "Every team may encounter various unfavorable factors, and the game of soccer is exactly ever-changing. For us, it's about never giving up. The outcome of a match is often unpredictable and we must be prepared for anything. As for the result, let nature take its course."
Talking about the substitute appearance of Wang Frost and Tang Jiali, Shui Qingxia explained, "One of the purposes of this game is to allow other players to get exercise, and the use of Wang Frost and Tang Jiali is also based on the overall needs of the team."
On Wang Linlin's performance, Shui Qingxia commented, "Although she is a young player, she has had previous experience in the game. As a young player, it is inevitable to encounter problems in the process of training. Her performance in the first match was not bad, and today's play was even better. Giving young players opportunities is also the responsibility of the coach."
Facing a question from a Japanese reporter about the views of the Chinese media and fans after winning the Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia responded, "Victory always makes people happy, and this is a feeling that any team will have. The Asian Cup is over and we are back to square one to start a new preparation. Past honors are a sign of our self-affirmation, but everyone should look to the future."
