The times are changing, and the roses are pushing for new talent.
Since 2005, our women's soccer team has competed in the East Asian Cup seven times, but has never been able to win. Throughout the seven tournaments, South Korea won the title once, Japan dominated twice, and the North Korean women's soccer team won four consecutive championships, but this year, however, they were absent from the tournament. Our women's soccer team's best performance was in 2010, won the second place, and the last two East Asia Cup, our women's soccer team are harvested third place.
Purely from the point of view of strength, our women's soccer team does not have a clear advantage in East Asia. At the beginning of the year, winning the Asian Cup is not the strength of our women's soccer team, but the manager Shui Qingxia skillfully arranged the formation, the whole team worked together, and finally won the weak over the strong, creating a miracle.
Now that the joy of the championship has faded, the fact that our women's soccer team is still slightly inferior to Japan and South Korea in terms of overall strength cannot be ignored. Chinese fans need to remain rational and hold reasonable expectations for the outcome of the game. This year's East Asia Cup, Japan and South Korea, the two teams are not willing to repeat the mistakes of the Asian Cup. Recently, the two teams have played friendly matches, the South Korean women's soccer team drew the Tokyo Olympics champion Canadian women's soccer team, Japan's women's soccer team in Europe has won consecutively, the state is good.

In the past month, Shui Qingxia led the whole team in Qingdao closed training, mainly practicing the latest technical and tactical methods, and fine-tuning the details of cooperation.
The goal of our women's soccer team for this East Asian Cup is naturally to win the championship, but not to force it. After all, the team's medium- and long-term goals are the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Women's World Cup to be held next year. In fact, the East Asia Cup is not the end of the test of the quality of our women's football training, but the starting point for a new phase of preparation for the World Championship.
After the conclusion of the East Asian Cup on July 27, our women's soccer team will travel to the United States for an overseas training period of about a month. Despite the fact that there are only 26 players on the East Asian Cup roster, 37 training players will travel to Japan together, ensuring that the entire set will be able to participate in the overseas training and many warm-up matches.
In fact, our women's soccer team is not the strongest at the moment. After all, a number of overseas players have not yet returned to the team. During this overseas training, Shen Mengyu, Shen Menglu and Zhao Yujie, who play for European and American clubs, will also return to the team to participate in the training and accept the inspection of Shui Qingxia.
Overseas training, on the one hand, our women's football coaching team can examine the athletic status and physical condition of the players in Europe, the United States clubs, and further consolidate the team's lineup; on the other hand, the team will be through the more than 10 matches with the local strong team of the confrontation, to further test and perfect the technical and tactical methods of play, targeted to improve and improve, in order to prepare for the Asian Games, the World Cup to lay a solid foundation.
